What's in the price
The whole kitchen, down to the trim.
Granite or quartz counters, eased edge
Both hold up. We template after the cabinets are set and the fabricator turns it in about a week. Quartzite and butcher block are available if you want them.
LVP flooring, MSI preferred
Installs fast, takes kitchen traffic, and shrugs off the occasional spill. Tile instead if you prefer it.
Electrical, plumbing, drywall, paint
New outlets and under-cabinet lighting, sink and faucet hookup, walls patched and painted, trim and base reset. The whole room, not just the pretty parts.
How it goes
From walkthrough to final inspection.
01
Walkthrough + estimate
We measure the room, check the panel and the plumbing stack, and look behind the cabinets where we can. Written estimate in 48 hours. No ballparks.
02
Contract + permits
You sign, we pull the permits under our MHIC license. If the job moves plumbing or gas, that's a permit and a rough-in inspection we schedule and meet ourselves.
03
Demo + rough-in
Out with the old kitchen. Plumbing and electrical rough-ins go in. City inspection before the drywall closes.
04
Cabinets, counters, finish
Drywall and paint, cabinets hung, counters templated and installed, backsplash, fixtures, hardware, lighting. Final inspection, then it's yours.
Baltimore kitchens
Why the rowhome kitchen is its own job.
Most Baltimore kitchens sit at the back of a rowhome — narrow, galley-shaped, with the basement stair eating one corner and the plumbing stack running down the rear wall. Keep the sink where it is and the job moves fast and stays in the $19K to $28K lane. Move it, and you're paying to relocate the rough-ins. We'll lay out both numbers so you can choose.
The exterior wall is usually solid brick, so adding a window or a range vent is masonry work, not a drywall patch. Older houses that were cut into apartments — common in Hampden, Pigtown, and East Baltimore — sometimes hide a second gas line or a capped drain we'll find on demo day. We flag the likely surprises on the first visit, so if a change order shows up, it isn't a shock.
We quote off a walkthrough, never a phone call. When the price is set after someone has actually looked at your panel and your stack, there's far less to discover mid-job. That's why our numbers tend to hold where a national-chain bid drifts.

What Baltimore kitchen clients say
★★★★★
Steve and his team did a great job on my kitchen remodel. Sergio and Frank were respectful and did clean, quality work. From the demo phase to installing cabinets, granite and plumbing, the process went smoothly. The kitchen looks great and I will be going back to these guys for more work in the future!
★★★★★
Steven and his team completed a 3-level renovation of my newly purchased home. They took the time to ensure my vision was possible and within budget while keeping quality. Even after construction was completed they were just as attentive, answering any questions I had. I would choose Monarch Bay for any of my future renovation needs.
★★★★★
Monarch Bay did an incredible job with the complete renovation of our master suite bathroom. All the old fixtures, cabinets, tub, shower, toilet, walls and flooring were removed and an extraordinary new bathroom resulted. We told them what we wanted and the team delivered. Our bathroom is stunning. We highly recommend Monarch Bay Renovations.
Common Questions
Kitchen remodels, answered.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Baltimore?
Mid-level kitchens run $19K to $35K with us. That covers cabinets, granite or quartz tops, MSI LVP flooring, plumbing hookups, and labor. A lighter refresh that keeps the cabinets can land at $8K to $14K; full high-end with custom boxes runs $30K to $50K. Appliances are usually your call.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most of our kitchens finish in three to five weeks once we start. Cabinet lead times are the long pole, so we order early and give you a calendar before we swing a hammer.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. If the job needs a Baltimore City or county permit, we pull it under our MHIC license and meet the inspector on site. Most cosmetic kitchens don't need one; anything moving plumbing, gas, or electrical does.
Can you open the wall to the dining room?
Usually, yes. If the wall is load-bearing we install a beam, pull the permit, and pass inspection. Budget about a week and a few thousand dollars on top of the kitchen. We'll tell you on the first visit whether the wall is worth opening.
What's included in the base price?
Demo, cabinets, countertops (eased edge granite or quartz), LVP floor, sink, faucet, basic electrical, drywall, paint, and install. Appliances and high-end backsplash tile are usually extra.
Do you do insurance jobs?
Yes. We work directly with adjusters on fire and water-damage kitchens. Bring the claim number.
