Both. Monolith is a single team across design, build and surfaces, so your project runs through one point of contact from first sketch to final finish.

Yes. Plenty of clients come to us for a single kitchen remodel, a design scheme, or a specialty surface finish. You are never obliged to take the whole package.

Both. We work on everything from one bathroom to a full-home renovation or a custom home built from the ground up. The scope changes; the way we run the project does not.

We are based in Washington, DC and work across the city and the surrounding area. If you are not sure whether your address is a fit, get in touch and ask.

Every project is scoped individually — it depends on the rooms, the structural work and the finishes involved. After an initial conversation we provide a clear, itemized proposal before any work begins.

After we have talked through the space and what you want from it, and visited if that helps. You get an itemized proposal covering scope, materials and schedule before any work starts, so there are no surprises later.

We arrange a conversation about your space and goals, visit if helpful, and come back with a scope and proposal. From there it moves into our design and build work.

Yes. We work up layouts and material selections with you, and produce 3D renderings so you can walk through light, material and layout decisions long before anything is built.

One point of contact, for the whole project. Because design, construction and finishing all sit under one roof, you are never passed between a designer, a contractor and a finisher.

We can. If you already have drawings or a designer you like working with, we are happy to build to them — tell us what is already in place when you get in touch.

Hand-applied mineral finishes: microcement, limewash, tadelakt, lime plaster and vanishing plaster. Each one can be applied to walls, floors and millwork depending on the room.

Yes. Every finish is tinted with mineral pigment, so the color sits in the material rather than on top of it. Each finish has its own palette, and we can work to a custom match.

Microcement is a seamless, durable mineral finish. We apply it as part of our surfaces work, and our dedicated microcement studio has the full ranges and galleries if you want to go deeper.
