Why Anne Arundel County homeowners hire us

From Annapolis historic homes to Chesapeake Bay waterfront.

01

All of Anne Arundel County

Annapolis, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Arnold, Crofton, Odenton, Cape St. Claire, Linthicum, and the rest of the county. Our Halethorpe shop is 20 minutes from downtown Annapolis and 15 minutes from Glen Burnie.

02

Anne Arundel County permitting

The county's Department of Inspections and Permits handles residential work — a different office and process than Baltimore City or Baltimore County. Waterfront properties in Maryland's Critical Area add a review layer; we factor that into the schedule from the start.

03

Every era and neighborhood type

1700s Annapolis rowhouses, 1950s Glen Burnie Cape Cods, 1980s Crofton planned-community colonials, and Chesapeake Bay waterfront bungalows all have different bones, different permitting realities, and different renovation plans. We know the differences.

04

Fixed price, no surprises

A written, fixed-price quote within 48 hours of the walkthrough. The number on paper is the number you pay unless you change the scope. Self-performing crews, not rotating subs.

What we build here.

Kitchen Remodels

$19K – $35K

Annapolis colonials with galley kitchens opened to the dining room; Severna Park and Pasadena waterfront homes updated with new cabinets, quartz, and LVP; Glen Burnie Cape Cods refreshed on budget. Anne Arundel permits pulled for you.

Bathroom Remodels

$15K – $22K

Full baths gut-to-studs starting at $15K; primary suite baths $22K–$40K+. Waterfront properties and Annapolis historic homes get the same quality finish as any other project — the permitting is just different near the water.

Basement Finishing

$15K – $45K

Glen Burnie and Crofton colonials have the headroom. Some Annapolis and waterfront properties sit on slabs without a basement — we assess on the first visit and price what you actually have.

Annapolis rowhouses and colonials, Severna Park waterfront bungalows, Crofton planned-community homes — full updates across kitchens, baths, mechanicals, and finish work. Quoted after a thorough walkthrough.

About Anne Arundel County

Why Anne Arundel County renovations require local knowledge.

Anne Arundel County runs from BWI Airport and Glen Burnie in the north down to the Southern Maryland peninsula, with Annapolis — Maryland's capital — anchoring the eastern waterfront. It's a county of contrasts: Colonial-era Annapolis sits alongside post-WWII bungalow neighborhoods in Glen Burnie; affluent waterfront communities in Severna Park and Pasadena are a few miles from newer planned communities in Crofton and Odenton. Every zone has its own housing stock, its own permitting nuance, and its own renovation reality.

Annapolis proper is the most historically layered. The historic downtown has rowhouses and Georgian colonials dating to the 1700s, with many properties subject to Historic Preservation Commission review for exterior work. The neighborhoods ringing the downtown — Murray Hill, Eastport, West Annapolis — range from Victorian-era homes to mid-century Cape Cods and split-levels. Glen Burnie and Linthicum, the county's northern suburban corridor, are post-WWII bungalows and Cape Cods — smaller footprints, good bones, and an owner base that's updating them as prices climb. Severna Park, Arnold, and Pasadena hug the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River; homes here range from 1940s cottages to 1980s waterfront colonials, and many sit in Maryland's Critical Area — the 1,000-foot shoreline buffer that adds an environmental review layer to some projects. Crofton, Odenton, and Gambrills are newer planned communities, built 1960s through the 2000s, where the bread-and-butter work is updating dated kitchens and baths.

Anne Arundel County permitting — what's different here

Anne Arundel County residential renovations go through the county's Department of Inspections and Permits — not Baltimore City, Baltimore County, or any other office. Kitchen and bath remodels that move plumbing, electrical, or walls require a county building permit and a sequence of inspections. We pull the permit under our MHIC license (#149066) and meet every inspector on site.

Two additional layers apply in specific cases. If your property is within the Annapolis Historic District, the Historic Preservation Commission reviews most exterior alterations — interior renovations are usually outside their scope, but we flag any grey areas upfront. Properties within 1,000 feet of the Chesapeake Bay, tidal wetlands, or other regulated water features fall in Maryland's Critical Area; certain below-grade or yard-adjacent work requires an additional review through the county's Office of Planning and Zoning. We've worked in both environments and build the timeline for those reviews into the project schedule from day one so the job doesn't stall mid-stream.

The areas we serve across Anne Arundel County

We work all of Anne Arundel County: Annapolis, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Arnold, Cape St. Claire, Crofton, Odenton, Linthicum, Hanover, and Gambrills. Our Halethorpe shop is about 20 minutes from downtown Annapolis and 15 minutes from Glen Burnie — close enough to be on-site fast for the walkthrough, the build, and any punch-list item.

What it costs across Anne Arundel County

A full bathroom in Anne Arundel County runs $15K–$19K and a mid-level kitchen runs $19K–$35K with us. Primary suite baths are $22K–$40K+. Basements depend on what you have — Glen Burnie and Crofton colonials typically have the headroom for a finished space without underpinning; some Annapolis downtown properties and waterfront homes are on slabs with no basement at all. We assess headroom, moisture, and slab status on the first visit before quoting anything. For line-by-line pricing, see the kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, and basement finishing pages, or the full pricing page.

Anne Arundel County FAQ

What county homeowners ask.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Anne Arundel County?

A mid-level kitchen runs $19K–$35K with us across most of Anne Arundel County. Annapolis historic properties and waterfront homes in Severna Park and Pasadena sometimes run higher when access is tight or the layout calls for reconfiguring the plumbing stack. A lighter refresh that keeps the cabinets starts at $8K–$14K. You get a written, fixed-price quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Anne Arundel County?

A full bath gut-to-studs runs $15K–$19K with us; a powder room is $6K–$9K. Primary suite baths run $22K–$40K+. Older Annapolis properties sometimes have cast-iron waste lines or galvanized supply that we replace during the gut — the right time to do it. We flag the likely surprises on the walkthrough so the number you sign holds.

What parts of Anne Arundel County do you serve?

All of Anne Arundel County. We work Annapolis (including properties near the Historic District), Severna Park, Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Arnold, Cape St. Claire, Crofton, Odenton, Linthicum, Hanover, and Gambrills. Our Halethorpe shop is about 20 minutes from downtown Annapolis and 15 minutes from Glen Burnie.

Do I need an Anne Arundel County permit for a renovation, and who handles it?

Anne Arundel County renovations are permitted through the county's Department of Inspections and Permits — not Baltimore City, Howard County, or any other office. Any project that moves plumbing, electrical, or walls needs a county building permit and inspections. Properties near the Chesapeake Bay shoreline may also require Critical Area review through the county's Office of Planning and Zoning. We pull the permit under our MHIC license (#149066) and coordinate every inspection, including Critical Area if it applies.

Are there special rules for renovating in Annapolis or near the water?

Two layers to be aware of. If your property is in or adjacent to the Annapolis Historic District, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviews exterior changes. Interior renovations usually don't require HPC review, but we flag it if the scope could trigger it. Properties within 1,000 feet of the Chesapeake Bay or a tidal tributary fall in Maryland's Critical Area, which adds review steps for some work — particularly anything near the yard or below grade. We've worked both layers and factor the timeline in from the start.
