Wheaton Addition ROI — Why It Matters for Your Wheaton, MD Addition
Wheaton home prices run below comparable MoCo communities despite sharing the same school district, Metro Red Line access at Wheaton station, and DC proximity — which means home additions in Wheaton deliver a higher percentage return on investment than the same project in Bethesda or Chevy Chase. A $150,000 master suite addition on a Wheaton colonial that adds $110,000 in appraised value is a stronger percentage gain than the identical project in a $1.5M Bethesda home. MoCo DPS at 2425 Reedie Drive is literally our home permit office — in Wheaton, the same community we serve daily.

Wheaton Home Addition Reviews
"DMV General Contracting Group added a master suite to our Wheaton colonial — 450 sq ft with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The MoCo DPS permit was filed from their Wheaton office — literally next door. Ten weeks from permit approval to final inspection. The appraisal increase exceeded our cost estimate."

"We converted our 1960s ranch in Glenmont to a two-story home. DMV General Contracting Group's architects designed the second floor to match the existing exterior. The structural engineering reinforced the original foundation — all done in-house. The ROI was exceptional compared to what the same project would cost in Bethesda."

The MoCo DPS office is right here in Wheaton, so the permit process was fast and efficient."
