Remodeling Capitol Hill’s Homes
Capitol Hill’s rowhouses are largely late-19th-century Victorian and Federal — brick facades, narrow footprints, party walls, plaster interiors, and systems layered on over a century. Remodeling here means planning for what’s behind the walls: old wiring and panels, cast-iron and galvanized plumbing, and additions built to earlier codes. We scope those realities before demo day — so the quote you approve is the project you get.
Every project here runs on Washington DC (DOB) permits and inspections. We prepare the drawings, file the paperwork, and schedule the inspections ourselves — and where a project affects the exterior in a historic district, we factor that review into the plan.

Permits and local conditions in Capitol Hill
Before we price a project in Capitol Hill, these are the three things that decide how it has to be run. We confirm all of them at the on-site consultation.
One permit authority for the whole District.
DOB issues every building and trade permit in DC — there is no separate city or county office — and permit fees are calculated from the declared construction value. DC also does not issue owner-builder permits for most work, so the contractor licence carries the application.
The Capitol Hill Historic District is one of the largest in the city.
Any exterior alteration needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from HPRB — though the Historic Preservation Office clears the large majority of applications through expedited staff review rather than a full board hearing. Interior work generally bypasses it entirely.
Victorian rowhouses, many pre-1900, on narrow lots.
Original plaster, knob-and-tube remnants and cast-iron stacks are all common. We budget for what is likely behind the walls rather than discovering it mid-project.

These are planning ranges, not quotes. Every project is different. What you actually pay depends on the size of the space, the condition of what is behind the walls, your material selections, and whether plumbing, electrical, or framing has to move — none of which can be judged from a photo or a phone call. Think2Remodel provides a firm written price only after an on-site consultation where we measure and inspect the space in person.
