JP Brehony, owner of JP Brehony Homes, and Troy Fenley, owner of Encompass Design Build, have launched a new venture addressing a question that many homeowners in our area face: Move or Improve? Sharing leads for the past four years, Brehony’s custom home business and Fenley’s full-service remodeling firm have discovered a need for unbiased information comparing new home construction against major remodeling.

By blending their individual experiences and vast professional resources - a combined 35 years of experience in residential construction and remodeling in Northern Virginia - they are focusing on something no other firm in our community is offering.

The financial equation behind choosing a new home vs. a significant remodel is confusing and complex, and Brehony and Fenley have found clients to be receptive to their consulting. Traditionally these interests are served in two distinct types of companies. One, unbiased resource is proving to be effective and efficient.

The question still remains for many homeowners: Move or Improve? Brehony and Fenley answers this question by comparing both sides of the equation and presenting hard facts and figures to arrive at the optimum decision.

After a decision is made to Move or Improve, JP and Encompass orchestrate the entire process – from design through construction.

Each firm remains independent and continues to focus on its’ specific areas of expertise. The primary benefits of the combined relationship are: the research and decision-making process is easier and clearer; and clients now have the opportunity to add the signature Brehony look to their remodeled home.

Encompass Design Build is a full-service design-build firm specializing in kitchens, bathrooms, additions and total home renewals. Encompass clients benefit from the firm’s award-winning design team and its commitment to a proven project-management process.
