Service 01
Renovations & Rehabilitation
For homeowners and investors improving or repositioning an existing property.
What Maven can coordinate or deliver
- Whole-home renovations and substantial rehabilitation
- Interior and exterior improvements
- Structure, systems, and finishes coordinated by one team
- Multi-unit conversions and deconversions — reconfiguring a residential property from one unit into two, three, or four units, or consolidating multiple units into fewer
- Trade scheduling and inspection coordination
- FHA 203(k)-related renovation project experience
- Historic-property coordination where applicable
Typical project types
Full gut renovationRowhome rehab203(k) renovationMulti-unit conversionUnit deconversionInvestor rehabOccupied-home work (case by case)
Multi-unit conversions and deconversions involve design, zoning, code, permitting, utilities, life-safety, and existing-building considerations; Maven can evaluate these to determine a practical path forward. Program eligibility (including FHA/HUD and 203(k)), feasibility, permit approvals, timelines, and budgets depend on the property, proposed use, existing conditions, and the relevant authorities. Nothing here guarantees zoning, permits, occupancy, financing, a fixed schedule, or a fixed budget, and not every property can legally become additional units.
Service 02
New Construction
For clients building a new residence or infill project from the ground up.
What Maven can coordinate or deliver
- Ground-up residential construction, foundation to finish
- Baltimore infill development
- Custom homes and, where permitted, multi-unit residential
- Preconstruction planning and trade coordination
- Permitting and inspection coordination
Typical project types
Custom homeInfill new buildTear-down & rebuildMulti-unit (where permitted)
Maven coordinates the build and engages licensed professionals where their services are required; Maven does not provide every professional service internally. Permits, approvals, and schedules depend on the project and the relevant authorities.
New-home building is offered throughout Maryland under Maryland Home Builder Registration No. 9459 (MHBR #9459).
Service 03
Residential Design & Planning
For clients shaping a concept, layout, or plan before construction.
What Maven can coordinate or deliver
- Architecturally informed planning and concept development
- Space planning and layout optimization
- Finish and material coordination
- Construction feasibility input
- Coordination with licensed architects and engineers
Typical project types
Concept & feasibilitySpace planningLayout optimizationFinish & material selection
Maven Homes is a licensed Maryland home-improvement contractor (MHIC #137562) and a registered Maryland home builder (MHBR #9459), not a licensed architecture firm. Licensed architects and engineers are engaged when stamped drawings or professional services are required.
Service 04
Developer Consulting & Training
For emerging developers and investors planning a residential project.
For select projects in Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia, Maven provides developer advisory and early project planning services. Construction and renovation services outside Maryland are not currently offered.
What Maven can coordinate or deliver
- Early project evaluation
- Scope and budget planning
- Development-process guidance
- Permitting-process education
- Contractor and consultant coordination
- Documentation practices and guidance for emerging developers
Typical engagement types
Project evaluationScope & budget planningProcess guidanceDeveloper training
This is practical construction and development guidance — not legal, tax, lending, or investment advice. Nothing here promises financing approval, permit approval, profitability, investment returns, or guaranteed results.

How Maven Works
A clear path, whichever service you choose
It starts with a complimentary discovery call. If a project needs a paid site assessment, feasibility study, design consultation, detailed estimate, or other preconstruction service, its scope and fee are disclosed for your approval before that work begins.
- 01ListenA complimentary discovery call to understand your property, goals, intended use, timing, and budget range.
- 02PlanProperty and document review, then preliminary feasibility and scope — design, code, permitting, utility, and existing-condition considerations. A preliminary review is not a guarantee of zoning, permitting, financing, or approval.
- 03CoordinateLicensed architects, engineers, surveyors, or other professionals are engaged when required, alongside permit and trade coordination.
- 04BuildConstruction to the agreed scope and selections, with on-site quality control. Written estimates and proposals identify assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, allowances, and qualifications.
- 05Keep You InformedMilestone visibility and organized communication; material scope changes are handled through written change orders.
- 06CompleteFinal walkthrough and close-out.
Not every project follows an identical schedule or workflow, and no permit approval, completion date, budget, financing, or outcome is guaranteed.
