[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help - I'm thinking about renovating my house in Capitol Hill. Can anyone recommend an expeditor who can help me get building permits from DC gov't? [/quote]

Sorry everyone but I am new on this forum... and even though this is an old post, I will answer it clarify a few things.  Recently I retired as a Class A General Contractor to run my own permit expediting company.  It is a new venture company and the reason I decided to venture into this new arena is because, as a contractor, I know that in Virginia, DC and Maryland, to be an expediter does not require any kind of license or insurance!!!  My last commercial job, an expediter charged my client $700.00 to file a tenant layout containing 8 pages...  As a General Contractor I really had to bust my butt to make that kind of money in 8 hrs of work and on top of that I had to be Licensed and Insured, passed a State test and show my financial statements in order to get a license...  Oh, yes... that $700.00... I'd have to pay taxes on it too...  checks were not made to my person...    States like New York and Philadelphia requires their expediters to be licensed and insured, no test but at least it's something that prevents crooks from taking consumer's money and running away.  I am very much pro licensing and even though VA, MD and DC does not require a license to be an expediter, I will market my business as a Licensed and Insured Expediter (by holding on to my GC License / even though I am no longer in Construction).

My first post, and I will get better as we go along...  :D [/quote]
