Wentworth’s extensive design-build experience in the DMV area enables us to make strategic design choices that intelligently allocate a client’s budget for the best results.

We have remodeled countless historic homes in the DC area, and our home remodeling architects are exceptionally skilled at updating a home’s design while preserving its original architecture. We have a range of services to cover any need you might have, from standard kitchen or bathroom remodeling to comprehensive home additions or façade enhancement.
The Wentworth Process
Embarking upon a remodeling project can be daunting and overwhelming. That’s why Wentworth takes care of the details, from design all the way through construction. Our proven 10-step process ensures our clients remain informed throughout the course of their projects. The Wentworth process begins with an introduction. We meet with you in your home to view the space and understand your goals and desires for the project. During this meeting, we’ll discuss design concepts and establish a conceptual construction budget. With an agreed-upon conceptual budget, the design phase begins. Our team will measure and photograph your house and begin to develop design solutions. At the design presentation, we present plans, elevations, product samples, and more. Based on your feedback and design preferences, we establish a more accurate budget for the remodeling project and with your approval, commence final construction drawings. At this point, our interior design staff will guide you through the final selection of various products, finishes, and appliances. With all of the final plans and specifications in place, we prepare a fixed-price construction contract. Finally, we procure all necessary approvals and permits and begin construction as scheduled.
Staying in Character with a Sensitive Design
Our commitment to remodeling older homes for contemporary lifestyles is evident in our desire to make fine design, skilled craftsmanship, and livable luxuries accessible to our clients. As the best home builders in Chevy Chase and serving the greater Washington, DC metro area, where modern lifestyles can conflict with the charm of older urban homes, we value a holistic approach to remodeling. Every Wentworth project is sensitive to the history and design of a home, as well as its surrounding neighborhood. Wentworth knows how to appropriately modernize an older home while remaining sympathetic to its historical character. Our seamless integration of the old with the new and an unparalleled attention are what make clients choose us time and again for their home renovation projects.
