Dear PoPville

“Is there anything you wish you knew before you started?”


not the house in question just a house I really like (in Mount Pleasant.)

“Dear PoPville,

What’s your experience building a semi-custom / custom home in DC. I’m inheriting a family house from the 1920s. We’re interested in renovating to live in it.

The existing house is not historic and is not in a state of good repair. What’s your experience been with different contractors? How long did it take? Is there anything you wish you knew before you started?”
