Licensed General Contractor Serving Laurel, Howard County & Central Maryland
Monnot Construction LLC is a licensed general contractor Laurel MD homeowners and neighbors across Central Maryland have trusted for remodeling, additions, and repair work. We are based in Laurel and work throughout Howard, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's Counties, including Columbia, Severn, Bowie, Fairland, Beltsville, and Jessup.
When Maryland homeowners hire Monnot, they get a licensed GC who manages the full project: design coordination, permits, subcontractors, inspections, and final walkthrough. You are not the project manager. We are. And every project starts with a written estimate, so there are no surprises once work begins.
Remodeling, Additions & Repair | All Under One Licensed Roof
Monnot Construction handles the full range of residential construction work that Maryland homeowners take on: bathroom and kitchen remodels, home additions, whole-home renovations, and emergency repairs. You do not need one contractor for the remodel and another for the structural work. We coordinate every trade involved in a project, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, under a single licensed contract.
That matters for a few reasons. A single general contractor Maryland homeowners work with is accountable for the full scope. If something is not right, there is one call to make. It also means permit coordination happens in one place. Maryland requires building permits for additions, structural changes, and work that touches plumbing or electrical systems. Monnot handles the application, scheduling, and inspection process so you are not navigating county permit offices on your own.
If you are evaluating contractors and want to know whether your project needs a permit, we can answer that question on the first call, before any commitment.
"We had a wonderful experience with Monnot Construction! I’d highly recommend them to anyone. Trustworthy, quick and knowledgeable!"

Our Services
Planned renovations improve functionality, comfort, and long-term home value. We specialize in high-impact interior transformations that combine modern aesthetics with rugged durability. Whether you are looking for a gourmet kitchen or a spa-like master bath, our team manages the specialized plumbing, electrical, and structural needs of these complex rooms.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodels involve more trade coordination than most homeowners expect, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and often structural changes for layout modifications. Monnot manages each of these as a coordinated project, not a series of independent tasks. For project scope, timeline estimates, and what to consider before starting, visit our
kitchen remodeling contractor Maryland page.
Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel is one of the highest-return projects a Maryland homeowner can do, and one of the most disruptive if it is not managed well. Monnot handles the full scope: demolition, waterproofing, tile installation, fixture replacement, vanity and cabinetry work, and any plumbing or electrical changes the layout requires.

Home Additions & Whole-Home Renovations
Adding square footage or renovating multiple rooms at once is a significant construction project. It requires structural engineering, foundation work in many cases, permitting across multiple trade categories, and careful scheduling to keep disruption to your household manageable. Monnot has experience with room additions, second-story additions, and full home renovations across Central Maryland. For scope and process, visit our
home additions and whole-home renovations page.
Large-Scale Renovation Projects
We manage additions and whole-home renovations that involve complex structural changes, system upgrades, and phased construction.

Rebuilds After Property Damage
Many repair projects extend beyond surface restoration. When a pipe bursts or a storm hits, the cleanup is only the first half of the story. The real work begins with a professional rebuild that restores your home's "bones" and finishes.
Water damage and storm-related repairs often transition into kitchen, bathroom, or multi-room rebuilds. We specialize in taking your home from the "stripped-back" mitigation phase to a fully finished, high-quality reconstruction that addresses both visible damage and hidden moisture risks.

"We contracted Gil (Monnot Construction) to repair the wood rot, trims, and fascia around our house and we got nothing but professionalism... 10 out of 10, would recommend to a friend."

Why Homeowners Choose Monnot Construction
Hiring a licensed contractor near me is the right instinct. An unlicensed contractor cannot pull permits legally in Maryland, and work done without required permits can create title and liability problems when you sell your home.
Monnot Construction is a MHIC licensed contractor under the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. MHIC licensure means the state has verified our qualifications, bonding, and insurance, and that Maryland homeowners have a formal recourse process if a dispute arises. We also carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every project.
Beyond licensing, here is what Maryland homeowners tell us makes a difference:
- We pull permits. Any project that requires one , additions, structural work, electrical, plumbing, is permitted through the relevant county office by Monnot. You do not manage that process.
- Written estimates before work starts. Every project gets a written scope and cost before anything is signed or scheduled.
- One point of contact. You deal with Monnot, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
- Local. We are based in Laurel. We work here, we know the permit offices, and we are not flying in from out of state to staff a job.
As an insured contractor Laurel MD homeowners can verify before hiring, we are happy to share our license number and certificate of insurance before any contract is signed. Any contractor unwilling to provide both should be a concern.

“We contacted Monnot Construction for our commercial repair project, caused by water damage. The work crew was exceptional; they finished the job on time and perfectly. 100% recommended. Great company and great workers.
★★★★★ Chris W
“I am beyond ecstatic with the work the team has done. We needed our kitchen to be remodeled with new cabinets, floors and lighting after we had some water damage. From beginning to end the team was a pleasure to work with. Gil provided recommendations on where to get cabinets, floors as well as counter tops. I can’t say enough, if you’re on the fences call Gil.
