Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Maryland | Major Renovations, Done to Code
MHIC licensed and insured. Serving Laurel, Bowie, Columbia, and Central Maryland.
If you're planning a full kitchen renovation, not a cabinet refacing job, Monnot Construction is the kitchen remodeling contractor Maryland homeowners hire for layout changes, structural work, and permit-managed projects done right the first time. We're a licensed general contractor, MHIC #119060, which means we pull permits and manage plumbing and electrical subcontractors ourselves instead of handing you off to someone else. If you're looking for a partner who handles the entire scope of a kitchen remodel Maryland project from demo to final inspection, this is where to start.
What Our Kitchen Remodels Include
A full kitchen remodel Maryland homeowners choose Monnot for typically covers the entire room, not just surfaces. That means layout planning, custom cabinet installation, countertop replacement, backsplash tile, flooring, lighting, and appliance integration, all coordinated under one contractor.
We're not a cabinet shop. If you're looking to change your kitchen's footprint, an open concept kitchen remodel that removes a wall between the kitchen and an adjoining room is one of our most common projects, and it comes with structural assessment and permit requirements we manage directly. Plumbing and electrical work gets coordinated in-house as part of the same project, so you're not managing multiple contractors on your own.
Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Maryland
Kitchen remodel cost Maryland ranges vary widely depending on scope. A focused cosmetic update generally lands on the lower end, while a full gut renovation with layout changes, new cabinetry, and premium countertops runs significantly higher. The biggest cost drivers are cabinetry, whether plumbing needs to move, and countertop material.

Every Kitchen Is Different. So Is Every Estimate.
Monnot Construction provides written, itemized estimates before any work begins. No guesswork, no surprises mid-project. Tell us about your kitchen and we'll give you real numbers.
Kitchen Remodels After Water Damage
Many of our projects begin with a crisis. Plumbing failures or appliance leaks often destroy cabinetry and flooring before you even realize there is a problem. In these cases, the kitchen rebuild after water damage requires a specific approach that balances immediate mitigation with permanent, high-quality reconstruction.
"We needed our kitchen to be remodeled with new cabinets, floors and lighting after we had some water damage... Gil provided recommendations... if you’re on the fence call Gil." — Chris W.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Maryland?
It depends on scope. Replacing countertops, cabinet faces, or appliances typically does not require a permit. However, plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, or removing a load-bearing wall for an open-concept layout all require permits. Monnot handles permit applications and coordinates required inspections for every project that needs them.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Maryland?
A cosmetic kitchen update, such as countertops, backsplash, or appliances, typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. A full renovation including layout changes, plumbing rough-in, electrical, new cabinets, and inspections usually runs 6 to 12 weeks depending on permit timelines and material lead times. Monnot provides a written project schedule at the estimate stage.
What is included in a full kitchen remodel?
At Monnot Construction, a full kitchen remodel can cover layout planning, custom cabinet installation, countertop replacement, backsplash tile, flooring, lighting, appliance integration, plumbing and electrical coordination, and permit-managed inspections.

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Maryland?
Kitchen remodel costs in Maryland typically range from $15,000 for a focused cosmetic update to $80,000 or more for a full gut renovation with layout changes.

Can Monnot handle an open-concept kitchen conversion?
