Bathroom Remodeling in Takoma Park
The parts that matter most in a bathroom are the ones you cannot see afterward. 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 Takoma Park 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.
Bathrooms almost always need plumbing and electrical permits, plus a building permit if the layout moves. Two requirements catch homeowners out: GFCI protection, and exhaust ventilation that actually terminates outside the building rather than into a joist bay or an attic. Both get checked at inspection.
Your Takoma Park 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.
Takoma Park runs its own permitting for properties inside the city, and it enforces one of the strictest tree-protection ordinances in the region. If your project's footprint comes near a protected tree — an addition, a deck, even the equipment path to get there — that is a separate approval with its own requirements, and it can reshape the design.
The house decides half the scope.
Much of Takoma Park is pre-1940 Victorian, bungalow and foursquare housing, a good deal of it inside the historic district. That means plaster-and-lath rather than drywall, knob-and-tube wiring still live in places, and balloon framing that changes how a wall gets opened up. These are the houses where an honest scope and a cheap scope look least alike.
What's included- ✓Waterproofing installed and inspected behind the tile, not patched after

Who pulls the permit for a Takoma Park bathroom remodeling project?
We do, under our license, through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. Bathrooms almost always need plumbing and electrical permits, plus a building permit if the layout moves. Two requirements catch homeowners out: GFCI protection, and exhaust ventilation that actually terminates outside the building rather than into a joist bay or an attic. Both get checked at inspection.
What should I expect in a Takoma Park home?
Much of Takoma Park is pre-1940 Victorian, bungalow and foursquare housing, a good deal of it inside the historic district. That means plaster-and-lath rather than drywall, knob-and-tube wiring still live in places, and balloon framing that changes how a wall gets opened up. These are the houses where an honest scope and a cheap scope look least alike.
What does bathroom remodeling cost in Takoma Park?
Most Takoma Park projects land in the $12k – $45k range. That is a planning range for Montgomery County, not a quote — your written price comes after a free on-site walkthrough.
Is the Takoma Park walkthrough and estimate free?
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.
Why do bathroom quotes vary so much?
Because half the work is invisible. A quote that assumes your existing subfloor, supply lines and venting are all reusable will always look cheaper than one that budgets for what is actually behind the wall. We open up, look, and put the real scope in writing before you commit.
