Our Home Renovation Services

We specialize in full-scope remodeling services designed around the unique homes, needs, and styles of Northwest Washington.

Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchens in Northwest DC homes often need layout reconfiguration or modern updates to meet the needs of today’s homeowners. We focus on designs that maximize storage, lighting, and style—all while respecting the original footprint or enhancing it with smart additions.

Common kitchen upgrades in this area include:

  • Opening up galley kitchens for improved flow
  • Expanding into breakfast nooks or dining spaces
  • Integrating panel-ready appliances for seamless aesthetics
  • Installing custom cabinetry to suit historic millwork
  • Using high-performance materials like quartz or soapstone

From tight powder rooms in old townhouses to dated en suites that need fresh thinking, we help create bathrooms that are as functional as they are relaxing.

Popular features we’re building in:

  • Floating vanities to save space and create openness
  • Zero-entry showers with matte black fixtures

Pro Tip: Upgrading insulation and ventilation in older DC homes can help extend the life of your new finishes—and prevent costly moisture problems later.

Basement Remodeling

In many Northwest DC homes, basements are either partially finished or completely underused. We specialize in turning those lower levels into usable, comfortable, and code-compliant living spaces.

Frequent basement renovation goals include:

  • Creating a rental-ready ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)
  • Building home gyms or yoga studios
  • Carving out playrooms or quiet office zones
  • Designing high-function laundry or storage areas
  • Creating lounge spaces with built-in bars or media centers

Essential Basement Features:

  • Insulated walls and soundproof ceilings
  • Luxury vinyl or engineered wood flooring
  • Egress windows for light and safety
  • Integrated cabinetry and custom shelving

Note: DC building code requires specific safety upgrades like egress windows for basement bedrooms. We take care of those requirements, from permits to execution.

Custom Cabinetry

When standard furniture just won’t cut it—think uneven floors, angled ceilings, or tight alcoves—custom cabinetry steps in to elevate your space and maximize functionality.

Common uses for custom cabinetry in NW DC homes:

  • Mudroom built-ins for rowhouse entries
  • Custom bars or wine storage
  • Library shelving or office nooks
  • Dining room hutches and display cabinets
  • Bathroom vanities scaled to unusual layouts

Why Go Pro for Your Remodel?

In a city like DC, where older homes mix with tight zoning rules and layered permits, professional remodeling isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Between navigating historical overlays, building codes, and architectural consistency, having an experienced team on your side is everything.

Working with a pro gets you:

  • Licensed and insured contractors familiar with DC codes
