About Us
About Capital Dwelling
At Capital Dwelling, we believe backyards are an untapped resource—full of potential to create additional living space, increase property value, and enhance everyday life.
Our founders, two Georgetown University graduates with degrees in Urban Planning and Real Estate Development, saw how Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and backyard structures transformed homes and neighborhoods across the West Coast. With land at a premium and space often limited in the DMV area as well, they set out to help homeowners unlock these opportunities.
Born and raised in the DC region, we understand the unique challenges and regulations that come with building in this area. With over 40 years of combined experience in real estate, operations, and project management, we bring a customer-focused, solutions-driven approach to every project.
We’re here help you navigate the complexities of construction, providing honest, objective guidance every step of the way.
