Home Additions · Kensington
Why Kensington homeowners hire us.
A Kensington addition uses a town step only after the town map shows the parcel inside the municipal boundary.
A Kensington mailing address in ZIP 20895 can sit outside the town, and that postal code does not choose the permit office.
Pricing for a Kensington addition is a free written estimate after a site walk of the parcel.
For this area, see Permits in Montgomery County: what to expect.

Questions about home additions in Kensington
Does ZIP 20895 put an addition inside the Town of Kensington?+
The town says it is an incorporated municipality inside the larger area people associate with ZIP 20895. Its 2025 map description puts that ZIP on the larger area and the town on the smaller area. Town residents and residents outside the boundary do not receive the same town services. A 20895 address is not the town line, so the parcel is confirmed on that map before a town step is used.
What order does the county municipalities page record for a Kensington addition?+
That page places Kensington in the group whose approval comes before the county application. The addition follows that order only when the map shows the parcel inside the town.
Where does the town send a resident who asks whether an addition needs a permit?+
The resident FAQ answers the building-permit question with a yes for most cases and sends the resident to town hall to learn which permit applies, along with the town permit information. The permits link opens the town permit portal, and those portal screens stay undescribed. Town office hours on the do-I-live-here page are weekdays from 8 until 4. No phone number is printed with those hours.
