Kitchens are the most permit-dense room in the house per square foot. We are a licensed contractor in Maryland (MHIC #111971) — we pull the permits through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, coordinate the licensed trades, and hand you a written line-item scope before demolition starts.
A kitchen that keeps its existing layout may only need electrical and plumbing permits. Move a sink, a gas line or a wall and a building permit joins them. Kitchens also carry requirements specific to the room — GFCI protection at the counters and dedicated small-appliance circuits — which is why the rough-in inspection has to pass before anything gets closed up.
Your Rockville permit goes through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. We pull it under our license and we hold the inspection schedule — you do not chase inspectors and you do not sign the application.
Rockville is its own permitting jurisdiction. If your property sits inside the City of Rockville limits, the permit goes through the city — not Montgomery County DPS — and the two have separate submissions and separate inspectors. Getting that wrong at the start costs weeks, so we confirm which side of the line you are on before anything is filed.
Rockville's stock runs from 1950s ramblers and split-levels in the older neighborhoods to newer townhome and infill construction. On the mid-century houses, expect to find undersized electrical service and cast-iron or galvanized supply lines once walls are open — both of which we price up front rather than as a surprise change order.

Most Rockville projects land in the $28k – $120k range. That is a planning range for Montgomery County, not a quote — your written price comes after a free on-site walkthrough.
Yes. The walkthrough and the written scope are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. There is no design fee and no consultation invoice.
Plan on the sink and range being out for most of the project. We stage the work so demolition, rough-in and inspection happen back to back rather than with gaps, and we give you the realistic date at the walkthrough — not the optimistic one.
