About Potomac
Premium contracting in Potomac.
Potomac is a large-lot Montgomery County community, ZIP 20854, along River Road, Falls Road, and Glen Road. The houses are mostly later colonials and custom homes on wooded lots, not a town grid. It is not the Town of Garrett Park and it is not downtown Bethesda. The drive from Martinsburg is I-81 north to I-70 east, then I-270 south and River Road.
Potomac is not on Montgomery County's list of municipalities that add a town permit. Building permits go through the Department of Permitting Services at 2425 Reedie Drive, 7th floor, Wheaton, phone 240-777-0311, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The county says an interior alteration will likely need a permit. Cabinets, floor coverings, and bathroom caulking are on the likely-no-permit list. Electrical work is on the likely-permit list. Plumbing questions go to WSSC.
The county lists do not cover homeowners-association rules. A county permit is not association approval. Electrical work is a separately licensed trade. Real Elite does not take electrical work. The remodeling here is kitchens, bathrooms, and finished lower levels. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.

Deck permit and HOA
- A Potomac deck is a Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services building permit. Potomac is not a municipality that issues its own building permit.
