About North Potomac
Premium contracting in North Potomac.
North Potomac is Montgomery County, ZIP 20878, along Darnestown Road. The City of Gaithersburg is city permit only, so a Darnestown Road address is confirmed before a filing office is assumed. The drive from Martinsburg is I-81 north to I-70 east, then I-270 south toward Darnestown Road. We confirm the permit steps for the parcel before work starts.
When the parcel is in the county's permit area, questions go to the Department of Permitting Services, 2425 Reedie Drive, 7th floor, Wheaton, phone 240-777-0311, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. A renovation other than a repair needs a permit before work starts. An interior alteration will likely need a permit. Cabinets most likely will not. The county does not enforce deed restrictions. A common-ownership community is asked separately. Municipality rules are separate from that guidance.
Plumbing questions go to WSSC. Eligible applications can use Fast Track review. Other applications are reviewed by the county, and by WSSC when plumbing is in the scope. Electrical work is a separately licensed trade. Real Elite does not take electrical work. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.
