MacArthur Rd - Project by Frank M Bell and Ballard & Mensua
Frank M. Bell's Renovation Exteriors
Potomac, Bethesda, Montgomery County

The following slide show shows a collection of exterior images of large renovations designed by Frank M. Bell. One of the many factors that impressed Seth Ballard about Frank Bell and Bell Builder's history and portfolio is that Frank is one of the only builders we have met who chose to keep the foundations of older homes. While in many cases these days, tearing down proves to be what is best, Frank and Seth have a history of keeping foundations and building over them with almost completely new homes. Realtors list these homes with the name Frank Bell and his name fetches higher sales prices, even on homes that are 20 years old or older. This is because they are so well designed and so well build and engineered throughout. Several neighborhoods in Bethesda and Montgomery County are full of these homes. Frank will no longer be building homes but will be working with Ballard + Mensua to design them and oversee our combined stable of contractors, vendors, and subcontractors to ensure that everything is built to our high standard.
