Why property-specific context matters
Published national ranges provide initial context, but Washington, DC contractor proposals vary with building form, home era, historic designation, exact scope and quote date. The DMV region combines Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland; users can break out each market when enough evidence supports a reliable comparison.
