In 2024 we celebrate our 26th year, operating out of our own building in Towson, just north of the Beltway. Our residential renovations include additions, in-law suites, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages and outdoor living spaces. We also specialize in the modification of homes to accommodate those looking to age in
place or who have significant medical issues or disabilities. Our commercial division projects include adaptive reuse of existing spaces and renovations of existing buildings.

Our company has earned a solid reputation as an honest and reliable contractor. We have been awarded Remodeler of the Year Awards from the Maryland Improvement Contractors Association in various categories each year since 1999. In addition, we have held an A+ rating from the Maryland Better Business Bureau and
an A rating from Angie’s List for years.
