Kitchen Remodeling in Wheaton
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.

- 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 Wheaton 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.
Wheaton is unincorporated Montgomery County, so Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services handles the permit, the plan review and every inspection — there is no separate Wheaton authority. Electrical is its own permit under county rules and has to be pulled by a licensed master electrician, which is the step most often missed on a basement or kitchen job.
The house decides half the scope.
Wheaton is dominated by 1940s–1960s brick ramblers and split-levels on regular lots — a genuinely good stock to work with, because the framing is sound and the layouts take a rear addition or a basement suite well. The recurring issues are original 100 amp service, ductwork sized for the house as built rather than as extended, and basements with no egress window, which is the single thing that decides whether a lower-level bedroom is legal.

What should I expect in a Wheaton home?

The recurring issues are original 100 amp service, ductwork sized for the house as built rather than as extended, and basements with no egress window, which is the single thing that decides whether a lower-level bedroom is legal.
