Basement Remodeling

Basement Remodeling in Gaithersburg, MD

Gaithersburg has homes from many decades, from older houses near Olde Towne to newer homes in the Kentlands and Lakelands, and many have a basement that could be doing more. We finish them into bedrooms, offices, rec rooms and guest suites, with one crew handling the framing, insulation, electrical, drywall and flooring. We check for moisture first, so the finished space stays dry. If you want a bedroom, we plan the egress window the code requires. Depending on where you live, we handle the permits with the City of Gaithersburg or Montgomery County.

Walk-in showers, full remodels and everything in between.

Some Gaithersburg bathrooms only need a new walk-in shower, while others need a full gut remodel. We handle both. We take out old tubs, tile and vanities, fix any water damage or worn plumbing we find, and build a bathroom with new tile, glass, vanities, toilets, lighting and fans. In townhomes and condos, we plan carefully around tight spaces and shared walls. Every shower is waterproofed properly before the tile goes on, so it lasts for years.

We design layouts with better storage, more counter space and brighter lighting, and we install countertops that stand up to real use. Older homes may need a new layout or updated electrical, while newer homes often need better finishes and storage. We install new cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile and flooring, and our designer helps you plan the kitchen and choose materials before any work starts.

Replace worn carpet and scratched floors for good.

We replace worn carpet, scratched laminate and old vinyl in Gaithersburg homes with hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank and tile. In homes with original hardwood, sanding and refinishing can bring the floor back for much less than replacing it. Waterproof vinyl plank is a strong choice for kitchens, basements and homes with pets. Before installing, we check the subfloor and fix soft spots and squeaks, so the new floor stays flat and quiet.

Door Installation

Door Installation in Gaithersburg, MD

A new front door can change how your Gaithersburg home looks from the street and stop drafts around an old frame. We install entry doors, storm doors, French and sliding patio doors and interior doors. In neighborhoods with an HOA or architectural review, like many in Gaithersburg, we help you choose a door style and color that fit the rules. Each door is set level, sealed and adjusted so it closes tight and locks smoothly.

Energy-efficient windows for Gaithersburg homes.

Windows wear out over time, and in many Gaithersburg homes they now leak air, fog between the panes or let in noise from roads like I-270 and Route 355. We install energy-efficient replacement windows, including ProVia, measured to fit each opening. We remove the old window, install and insulate the new one, and finish the trim inside and out. If your HOA reviews exterior changes, we help you choose options that meet its guidelines. Every estimate is free.

Hugo and Gaby from Real Time Home Improvement did a great job on our kitchen remodel in Bethesda, Maryland. They gave us a free estimate and a free design, and they helped us raise our cabinets all the way to the ceiling, which made more room in the kitchen. They were on site for most of the major stages and made sure everything ran smoothly. We were happy every step of the way.

Hugo and his team did a great job! They were on time, professional, and got everything taken care of. They leveled the subfloor and installed the LVP after I had a huge flooring issue in my bathroom. They also reattached my vanity, toilet, and tub, and reran all the plumbing because it had been leaking and was not installed correctly previously. They did a wonderful job, and I would definitely recommend Hugo and his team for any future renovations. He’s a five-star guy!

Hugo and his team were great to work with. I noticed my bathtub sinking and they were able to get me an estimate quickly with a more than reasonable price. Subfloor repair was thorough and they were able to identify a broken pipe causing the damage. They also repaired a significant portion of plumbing to prevent this type of damage from happening again. Would highly recommend this team, and if I have any other home projects I will certainly be giving them a call.

Hugo and his team led a full basement renovation and concrete driveway installation at our home. They finished both jobs concurrently and were on time and on budget in both regards. It was a pleasure working with the team and I would not hesitate to use Real Time again for large or small projects.

Gaithersburg Home Remodeling FAQs

Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Gaithersburg?

Most remodels that change plumbing, electrical, or walls need a permit. Homes inside City of Gaithersburg limits get permits from the city, while homes outside city limits go through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. Real Time Home Improvement handles the permit process for you either way.

Do I need HOA approval for my remodel in Gaithersburg?

Many Gaithersburg neighborhoods, like the Kentlands and Lakelands, have homeowners associations with architectural review. Interior remodels usually don’t need approval, but exterior changes like new doors or windows often do. We can help you prepare what your HOA needs.

How long does a home remodel take?

A bathroom remodel usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, a kitchen 4 to 8 weeks, and a basement finish 6 to 10 weeks. Timing depends on the size of the project, materials, and permit approval. We give you a clear timeline with your free estimate.

Are your estimates free?

Yes. We offer free in-home estimates for all remodeling projects in Gaithersburg, with a clear estimate by email and no pressure.

Are you licensed and insured?

What other areas near Gaithersburg do you serve?

Gaithersburg ranges from older homes around Olde Towne to 1970s and 1980s townhomes and single-family homes, plus newer neo-traditional homes in the Kentlands and Lakelands. We tailor each remodel to the age and layout of the house, from opening up older floor plans to finishing lower levels in newer homes.
