PROPERTY AND PROJECT CONTEXT
Kensington
Kensington is an incorporated Montgomery County town, built around a National Register historic district and home to Antique Row, the Washington area's largest and oldest antiquing district.
Some properties with a Kensington mailing address actually sit outside the town's incorporated limits in unincorporated Montgomery County — which authority applies is confirmed by address before scoping a project.
The property location helps frame the conversation, while the project type, conditions and services involved help define what should be discussed next.

LOCAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Permitting and Jurisdiction in Kensington
Properties within Kensington's incorporated town limits go through the Town's own building permit process, separate from the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services; properties with a Kensington mailing address outside those limits use the county process instead — confirmed per property.
The Antique Row commercial corridor around the historic train station and the Kensington Historic District along Howard Avenue can involve additional design considerations for exterior work.

WHY MOLE
Design and construction move through one coordinated process, from initial scope through the final walkthrough.
Residential and commercial capability sits within the same company, so property type doesn't limit which services are available.
Project scope is defined and reviewed before work begins, so decisions aren't made after construction is already underway.
Remodeling and roofing can be coordinated under one contractor when a project's scope calls for both.
The same process applies across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland, regardless of jurisdiction.
