Types of Kitchen Remodeling We Do in Rockville, MD
Full Kitchen Remodels
The kitchen comes down to the walls and gets rebuilt: new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting and fixtures, with plumbing and electrical updated along the way.
Kitchen Cabinet Replacement
When the layout works but the cabinets are failing, new cabinets go in where the old ones sat. The plumbing stays put, and the room still feels new.
Countertops
New counters on solid cabinet boxes, including the sink and cooktop cutouts. It's often the biggest visual change for the smallest job.
Backsplash Tile
Tile on the wall behind the stove and counters, from simple subway tile to patterns like herringbone.
Kitchen Flooring and Lighting
New floors that run the whole room, plus under-cabinet and recessed lights so the counters aren't left in shadow.

Keeping Your Rockville Home Clean During a Kitchen Remodel
A kitchen sits in the middle of the house. So every job follows the same routine, every day
-
Floor protection goes down first. Before any tear-out, the floors in the work path are covered.
-
Dust barriers seal off the kitchen. Dust stays where the work is.
-
Cleanup every day. The jobsite is cleaned before the crew leaves, not just at the end of the job.
Your kitchen won't be usable for part of the job. Before we start, empty the cabinets, clear the counters and set up a small spot in another room with the microwave, coffee maker and a few dishes. It makes the weeks much easier.
What Happens During a Full Kitchen Remodel in Rockville
A full remodel takes the kitchen back to the walls and rebuilds it. Here's the work, in the order it happens.
1. Tear-out.
The old cabinets, counters, backsplash and flooring come out.
2. Checking what's behind the cabinets.
With the cabinets off, we can see the walls and the subfloor, the wood layer under your floor. A sink that leaked for years can leave soft or rotted wood, and it gets fixed before anything new goes in.
3. Rough-in.
The plumbing and wiring inside the walls and floor. If the sink is moving, or you want new outlets or under-cabinet lights, this is when it happens.
4. Flooring
The new floor goes down across the whole room, so there are no bare spots where the old cabinets sat.
5. Cabinets and countertops
Cabinets are set level and secured, then the counters go on with the sink and cooktop cutouts.
6. Backsplash, fixtures and finishes.
Tile goes up, the sink, faucet and lights go in, then paint and trim, and a final walkthrough with you.
Nobody knows for sure what's behind old cabinets until they're off. If we find damage, we show you what we found and talk through your options before moving on.
When a Smaller Kitchen Update Is Enough in Rockville
Not every dated kitchen needs to be torn out. The question isn't how old the room looks. It's whether it still works the way you cook, eat and move around in it.
A smaller update is often enough when:
✓ The sink, stove and fridge sit where you want them
✓ The cabinet boxes are sturdy: doors close, shelves don't sag, and there's no soft wood under the sink
✓ What bothers you is the look: worn counters, a plain wall behind the stove, dim lighting or an old faucet
✓You have enough storage. You just don't like how it looks.
In that case, new countertops, a tile backsplash, brighter lighting, a new faucet and fresh paint can change the whole feel of the room. The cabinets and layout stay put, so the job is smaller and your kitchen is out of use for less time.
A full remodel is usually the better call when:
✓ The layout doesn't work, like a fridge door that blocks the walkway or no counter next to the stove
✓ The cabinets are failing: water damage, hinges that won't hold screws, or boxes pulling away from the wall
✓ You want to move the sink, range or a wall
✓The floor is damaged or uneven under the cabinets
At your estimate, we tell you which parts of the kitchen can stay, not just what could be replaced.
What Drives the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel in Rockville
The biggest jump in cost comes from moving the sink, range or a wall. Moving the sink to an island means new drain and water lines, new cabinets, new counters and new flooring where the old cabinets sat. After that, most of the price comes from the choices you make:
A smaller update is often enough when:
Cabinets.
Often the largest single cost. Stock cabinets come in set sizes, semi-custom lets you change some sizes and colors, and custom is built to fit your room exactly.
Backsplash Tiles.
Small tiles and patterns like herringbone take longer to set than larger, simple tiles.
Lighting.
Swapping a fixture in the same spot is simple. Under-cabinet or recessed lights mean new wiring.
Countertops.
The material matters, and so does the work. Each cutout, edge shape and seam adds labor.
Flooring
If the new cabinets sit differently than the old ones, the new floor has to cover the whole room.
Room size.
A small galley kitchen and a big open kitchen can have very different totals with the same finishes.
When quotes don't line up, these questions usually show why:
Is the price broken out by cabinets, counters, tile, flooring and labor?
Are there allowances? An allowance is a set budget for an item you haven't picked yet, like a faucet or light.
How are hidden problems priced if they turn up behind the old cabinets?
Which materials take the longest to arrive, and when do I need to choose them?
To keep costs down, keep the layout, choose simple tile and make your choices before work starts. After we see your kitchen, you get a detailed written estimate you can line up next to your other quotes. The estimate is free.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions From Rockville, MD Homeowners
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Rockville?
The cost of a kitchen remodel in Rockville depends on how much of the room changes, whether the sink, range or a wall moves, the cabinets and counters you pick, and what turns up behind the old cabinets. We give you a clear, detailed written price after a free in-home estimate, so you know exactly what's included before any work starts. Moving things costs the most, so that's where we look first.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Montgomery County?
How long a kitchen remodel takes in Montgomery County depends on the size of the job and how long your cabinets and counters take to arrive. New counters and a backsplash on existing cabinets move much faster than a full remodel with new cabinets and flooring. Most jobs start the week after you approve the estimate, and we give you a realistic timeline once we've seen the kitchen.
Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen remodel in Rockville?
Whether $30,000 is enough for a kitchen remodel in Rockville depends on what changes. Keeping the sink, range and fridge where they are keeps the number down, because no new plumbing, wiring or flooring is needed behind the cabinets. Moving any of them adds that work and raises the cost. A written estimate with clear line items is the only way to know where your budget lands.
Can I keep my cabinets and just replace the countertops?
Yes, you can keep your cabinets and replace just the countertops when the cabinet boxes are solid. If the doors close, the shelves don't sag and there's no soft wood under the sink, new counters can go right on top. Adding a new backsplash, faucet and lighting at the same time changes the whole look of the kitchen. At your estimate, we tell you which parts can stay.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
You can't use your kitchen for part of a remodel, but you can still live at home comfortably. Before work starts, empty the cabinets and clear the counters, then set up a small spot in another room with the microwave, coffee maker and a few dishes. We protect the floors, seal off the dust and clean up every day, and we keep you updated on when the kitchen is usable again.
What happens if damage is found behind my kitchen cabinets?
If damage is found behind your old kitchen cabinets, we stop and show you what we found before going further. A leak under the sink can leave soft or rotted subfloor, and walls aren't always straight once the cabinets come off. We talk through your options with you, so the problem is fixed right instead of covered up, and your new kitchen starts on a solid base.
What areas near Rockville do you serve for kitchen remodels?
We remodel kitchens in Rockville and nearby Montgomery County communities, including Potomac, Bethesda and the areas around them.

How do I check a kitchen remodeler's license in Maryland?
You check a kitchen remodeler's license in Maryland by asking for the MHIC number and looking it up with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. Make sure the license is active and the business name matches your estimate and contract exactly. Navarro Remodeling LLC holds MHIC license #162429 and carries $1M in general liability insurance, and you can verify the license on the Maryland Department of Labor website.
