How It Works

1. Free Walkthrough
We spend 1 to 1.5 hours at your house, look at everything and listen to what you want.
2. Estimate & 3D Rendering
An itemized estimate built in Xactimate, the same software insurance companies use, plus a free 3D rendering so you see the result before you commit.
3. We Walk You Through It
In person or on Zoom, line by line: what's included, what isn't, and in what order. Then we email you a clean copy to review.
4. Design & Permits
Drawings, engineering and permit applications. On large projects this can be its own first contract, so you don't commit the full budget upfront.
5. Construction
Payments are split into 5 to 8 stages tied to inspections. You pay for the next stage only after the previous one passes.
6. Final Walkthrough
We go through the house together, close out any remaining items and sign the completion certificate. Your 2-year warranty starts here.

What It Costs

From $100,000
Where a whole house renovation usually starts. There's no fixed final price: it depends on the size and condition of the house and how much you want to change.
From $100 per sq ft
A rough starting point. Structural work, new systems and high-end finishes move the number up.
Every Line Spelled Out
You see exactly where the money goes. Over budget? We adjust the scope with you, not the quality of the work.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole house renovation cost in Maryland, DC and Virginia?

A whole house renovation usually starts at $100,000, or about $100 per square foot. There's no fixed final price: it depends on the size and condition of the house, how much of the layout changes, whether electrical, plumbing and HVAC need replacing, and the finish level you choose. You get the exact number in your itemized estimate.

How long does a whole house renovation take?

It depends mostly on permits. Review times vary by county and by how much structural work is involved, and construction can't start until permits are issued. You'll get a project schedule together with your estimate.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. We prepare the drawings, coordinate the architect and engineer, file the permits and schedule every inspection.

Can I live in the house during the renovation?

Usually not. A whole house renovation means weeks without a working kitchen, bathrooms or HVAC, plus dust and noise. Most clients stay somewhere else. If moving out is hard for you, bring it up at the walkthrough and we'll talk through the options.

Is the walkthrough really free?

Yes. The walkthrough, the estimate and the 3D rendering cost you nothing.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, financing is available. Our team will walk you through the options.

What warranty do you give?

2 years on the work we do.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. DIXEL is fully licensed and insured in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia.

What if the estimate is over my budget?

We go through it together and decide what to remove or postpone. You get a smaller scope at the same quality, not a cheaper version of the same work.

I have used Dixel for two large projects at my home. In both cases the quality of materials and workmanship were outstanding. They recently designed and remodeled our downstairs bathroom to make it accessible, yet it still has so much style. I would highly recommending using this company.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dimitri is a fantastic handyman! He recently helped with some repairs and painting, and I couldn’t be happier with his work. He’s incredibly skilled, pays great attention to detail, and has a strong work ethic. Dimitri was punctual, communicated clearly, and kept everything clean throughout the project. The results look amazing, and he even went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Dimitri for anyone needing quality repairs or paint work. I’ll definitely be calling him again for future projects!
