Kitchen Remodeling in Silver Spring
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 written, line-item scope for your Silver Spring project before anyone swings a hammer
- Permits pulled through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services under MHIC #111971
- One project manager from demolition to final walkthrough
Two fields and one question. A specialist calls you back to confirm a time.
The paperwork is the part most contractors gloss over.
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 Silver Spring 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.
Silver Spring is unincorporated Montgomery County — despite how it is talked about, there is no city government issuing permits. Everything goes through Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, including the separate electrical permit the county requires for any circuit work. The one local wrinkle worth knowing: the neighbouring towns of Takoma Park and Kensington DO run their own review, so if your address straddles that line the answer to “who permits this” changes with the street.
The house decides half the scope.
Silver Spring is one of the older housing stocks in the county — large numbers of 1920s–1950s bungalows, capes and brick colonials, plus mid-century ramblers further out. Knob-and-tube remnants and 60–100 amp panels are common in the pre-war houses, which is why a basement finish here so often starts with a panel upgrade. Many basements are also below the water table with no perimeter drainage, so waterproofing has to be settled before framing, not after.
