One-contractor promise

Anson holds three Virginia licenses: Master Electrician, Class B Builder, and plumbing. Most NoVA remodelers coordinate two or three different contractors for the same project. We don't. Your kitchen remodel, basement finish, or addition runs under one contract, one schedule, one project manager.

Why one contractor matters

What changes when one company does all the work

Most remodels take three trades: carpentry, electrical, plumbing. When those are three different companies, someone has to keep them in line. Usually that someone is you. With us, all three are the same crew, so we keep them in line for you.

Schedule held, not handed off

Most remodel delays come from one trade waiting on another. Electrician shows up before the plumber rough-in is done. Plumber shows up before the drywaller has framed. When all three are us, the schedule doesn't depend on a sub returning your call - it depends on us moving from one task to the next.

One written contract, one schedule of values

Instead of three contracts and three payment schedules, you have one. Written quote names every line item (framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes) with a schedule of values showing when each milestone gets paid. Change orders go through one project manager, not three different companies' processes.

Accountability stays with us

When something goes wrong in a multi-contractor remodel, you get finger-pointing: the electrician says it's a plumbing issue, the plumber blames the drywaller. When all three are us, accountability lives in one place: the project manager. Whatever needs to be fixed, fixed by us, at our cost.

Why Anson

What you are really getting when you hand us the whole remodel

01 · Three licenses

The framer, the wiring, and the pipes are all the same company

Brad Anson carries the Class B Builder, the Master Electrician license (VA #2705178102), and the Virginia plumbing license himself. So when a wall opens up on your remodel, there is no sub to call - it is already us standing there.

VA licensed in all three trades
02 · Team

The people who demo your kitchen are the people who hand it back finished

No crew you have never met showing up halfway through. The folks who tear out the old room build the new one, and the project manager who sat at your table on day one is the one walking the inspector through at the end.

20+ years working together
03 · One contract

One quote, one schedule of values, one person who owns the budget

Every line spelled out before a wall comes down - demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes - and one project manager who handles every change in writing. You will not get three separate invoices for one room.

One contract, one schedule
04 · Track record

5.0 on Google, and a lot of them are second jobs

20+ years remodeling across Northern Virginia, and plenty of these projects come from homeowners who first hired us for electrical. Once we have finished your panel work, we are already in the house and you have already watched how we treat it.

How we work

What your remodel looks like, start to finish

A remodel takes longer than a quick repair, but the steps are simple. We come look. We write it up. We do the work. We walk it with you at the end.

01

Free consultation

We walk the space, talk through what you want, and tell you up front whether what you're imagining is realistic for your home and budget. No high-pressure design pitches.

Typical: 60-90 minutes, same week.
02

Written proposal & SOV

Full schedule of values. Line items for demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and contingency. Change-order process documented up front.

Typical: within 5 business days.
03

Permit, demo, build

We pull permits in your jurisdiction. Same crew runs demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, finishes. Weekly updates with photos.

Typical: kitchens 6-10 weeks, baths 3-6 weeks, basements 8-14 weeks.
04

Inspection & walkthrough

County signs off. We walk through with you, build a punch list together, address every item before final payment. Manufacturer warranties handed over with documentation.

Typical: punch list closed within 1-2 weeks.

A note from Brad

Most remodels go off the rails at the trade handoffs. The electrician didn't talk to the plumber before rough-in. The framer assumed the bath layout was finalized. The HVAC sub showed up on a day no one was there. I got our plumbing license last year specifically because I was tired of telling customers "the plumbing sub is two weeks out." Now we run our own. Same crew, same schedule, one phone number. If something needs to change mid-project, you talk to me, not three different companies, and we figure it out.

FAQ

What homeowners ask us before they start

Are you a general contractor or a specialty trades company?

Both, depending on scope. Anson is licensed as a Class B Builder in Virginia, so we can act as general contractor on residential remodels. We also hold a Master Electrician license and a Virginia plumbing license, so when we GC a remodel we do the electrical and plumbing ourselves rather than subbing them out.

For pure electrical or pure plumbing work, we operate as the specialty trade. The advantage of holding all three licenses is coordination. On a typical NoVA bathroom remodel, the rough-in sequence runs demo, framing changes, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, inspection, drywall, finishes. When the framer, plumber, and electrician are three different companies, every handoff is a coordination problem. When they're all us, the handoffs are internal: same crew, same schedule, same project manager.

Do you do the plumbing yourselves now? When did that change?

Yes, we now do plumbing in-house. We acquired a Virginia plumbing license in 2026 specifically to handle the plumbing scope on our own remodels. Before that, we coordinated plumbing through trusted Northern Virginia plumbing subs. The change was operational, with the same standards of work, just no longer dependent on a sub's schedule.

We're not marketing plumbing as a standalone service. If you call us for a standalone plumbing job (a leaky valve, a water heater swap), we'll tell you we're not the right call. The plumbing license is for our remodel work, where having all three trades under one roof eliminates the coordination problems that cause most remodel delays. It's an in-house capability, not a service we sell separately.

How does remodeling work with electrical under one company?

The same Master Electrician who founded Anson runs the electrical scope on every remodel. New circuits, recessed lighting, panel upgrades, smart-home pre-wire all get the same code-compliant work we'd do on a standalone electrical job, just folded into the remodel timeline. For homeowners who already have us doing electrical, a remodel is a natural next step.

It works the other way too. Homeowners hire us for a kitchen or bathroom remodel and then end up booking us for the panel upgrade their home actually needs. Many older NoVA homes (especially ranches and colonials built before 1990 in Prince William and Fairfax) need a 200-amp service before they have headroom for a modern kitchen: induction range, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, garbage disposal, recessed lighting, and GFCI outlets all add up. We assess this during the remodel consultation and tell you up front whether you need the upgrade.

Can you do a kitchen or bath without us also using you for electrical and plumbing?

Yes, but it's slower and we'll tell you why. If you bring your own electrician and plumber, we coordinate with them on schedule and inspection, but we don't control their availability. If your electrician is booked out three weeks, that becomes a three-week pause in your remodel. When all three trades are us, we don't have that risk.

Most homeowners who come to us with their own subs already have a longstanding relationship with them. We respect that and we'll work with whoever you bring. But we're up-front during the consultation that a three-contractor remodel will take longer than a one-contractor remodel, and that the schedule risk shifts to you. If you don't have a strong existing relationship with an electrician or plumber, we recommend letting us handle all three.

What does a typical remodel cost and timeline look like?

Costs vary enormously by scope and finish level, so we don't post fixed prices because they'd mislead. Typical NoVA timelines: full kitchen remodels run 6-10 weeks, full bathroom remodels run 3-6 weeks, and basement finishes run 8-14 weeks depending on size. We give you a written timeline with milestones during the proposal.

Several things shape both cost and timeline: scope (cosmetic refresh vs. full gut), finish level (standard vs. upgraded finishes), trade coordination complexity (more trades means more time), the permit and inspection schedule in your jurisdiction (Prince William moves faster than Fairfax), and what we find when walls come down. We build a 5-10% contingency into every remodel proposal for the things you can't see until demo. If the contingency isn't used, you don't pay it.

Have a room in mind? Let's walk it together.

We'll come look for free and put it all in writing. One contractor. One schedule. No waiting on a plumbing sub.
