Build Your Custom Home in a Residential Enclave by the Potomac River

Potomac City, MD, a unique city just outside of Washington D.C

Get the Best of Both Worlds by Building in Potomac City

Potomac is a bucolic city that takes its name from the nearby Potomac River. Unique from other cities just outside of Washington, D.C., Potomac is primarily residential with large homes in quiet neighborhoods. Most houses are single-family homes that take inspiration from the 1950s “villa” or French Chateau style. Potomac is considered among the wealthiest and most educated cities in the United States. A large percentage of residents have an annual income of at least $240,000.

While Potomac is primarily a residential town, those who live here can still enjoy a host of local shops, restaurants, and malls with specialty stores. The city also has a number of nature trails and activities along the river for outdoor enthusiasts. Work with us to build or renovate your home, and we can make your vision a reality.

A Process That Works

Our Maryland custom home builders use a six-point process to build trust with clients and deliver a home that fits their needs and desired aesthetics. Here are the steps of the Paradigm Process:

  • Introduction Meeting: We flesh out your ideas and add some of our own if we believe they may help. We also review your budget and financing options. Then, we’ll develop a plan and confirm that you’d like to proceed. 
  • Design: Our architect will create a working sketch based on the ideas presented in the initial meeting. We may ask questions about lifestyle needs using a discovery document, so we can hone in on what to include in the design.  
  • Pre-Construction: This is the most important phase because it allows us to set a workable budget and schedule. Our architects and engineers will develop the sketches to submit for permits. In this phase, we also confirm all aesthetic elements, like fixtures and finishes. 
  • The Build: We begin to build your home. Our project managers will keep you updated during this process.
  • Move-In: Construction is complete! You may now move into your new or newly remodeled home.
  • Post-Build: We are confident that you will be happy with the finished home. However, we are always available after the build to answer questions, deal with warranty issues, or address any concerns that may arise.
