Planning a basement in a newer house

If your house came with an unfinished basement, you have a clean slate. Before anything is framed, we look at the things that decide the layout: where the stairs land, the ceiling height under the ducts and beams, where the mechanical equipment sits, and whether there's a plumbing rough-in for a future bathroom. Then we draw the rooms around what's already there, so you're not paying to move things that don't need to move.

Two sets of permits inside town limits

Leonardtown's zoning code says no building may be altered without a building permit from the town, and the town arranges its inspections through a contracted inspection agency. That's in addition to the county's permit through the Department of Land Use & Growth Management. For a house inside the town line, we handle both.

A Leonardtown mailing address doesn't always mean the house is inside town limits. We check which side of the line you're on first.
