Our Remodeling Services
Kemp Mill is an established neighborhood of mid-century homes, and many are ready for a fresh update. Updating a home from that era takes care, so we plan every project around your home's layout and structure. Real Time Home Improvement remodels kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. We also handle flooring, doors, and windows, and every estimate is free.
Many basements in mid-century homes are dark, dated, or prone to moisture. We waterproof, finish, and renovate Kemp Mill basements into rooms your family will actually use.
We remodel Kemp Mill bathrooms of every size, from hall baths to full primary suites. In addition, we help you choose tile, fixtures, and finishes that suit your home's style.
Want a kitchen that works as well as it looks? We plan Kemp Mill kitchens around your space and routine. As a result, you get better storage, better flow, and finishes that last.
Whether you want hardwood, laminate, or tile, we install floors in Kemp Mill homes with care. We also prep the subfloor first, so your new floors stay level and quiet.
A new front door changes how your whole home looks. We install entry, sliding, patio, and storm doors in Kemp Mill. Plus, every estimate is free.
Drafty windows make a home harder to heat and cool. That's why we install energy-efficient replacement windows in Kemp Mill homes, sized to fit each opening.
Basement Remodeling
Kemp Mill's mid-century homes often have basements that feel dark and dated, with low ceilings, old paneling or moisture along the walls. We start by finding and fixing the source of any water, so the new space stays dry. Then we frame, insulate, run new electrical and lighting, and finish with drywall, trim and basement-rated flooring. A finished basement can become a playroom, guest suite, home office or extra space for family and guests. We handle the Montgomery County permits and inspections from start to finish.
Bathroom Remodeling
Mid-century bathrooms, rebuilt for today.
Bathrooms in Kemp Mill homes from the 1950s and 1960s are often small, with original tile, cast-iron tubs and plumbing that has been patched over the years. We remodel hall baths, primary bathrooms and powder rooms, and we help you choose tile, fixtures and finishes that suit your home. We replace worn pipes and repair the floor while the room is open, then waterproof the shower and install new vanities, toilets, lighting and fans. For growing families, we can also look at adding a second bathroom.
Kitchen Remodeling
Many Kemp Mill kitchens are small and closed in, built for how people cooked in the 1950s and 1960s. We plan new kitchens around your space and routine, with better storage, more counter space and better flow. Many Kemp Mill families keep kosher, so we can plan kitchens with two sinks, two dishwashers, separate prep areas and extra storage for dishes. We install new cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, lighting and flooring, and our designer helps you see the plan before work starts.
Flooring Installation
Original hardwood refinished, or new floors installed.
Many Kemp Mill homes have original oak floors under carpet that can be sanded and refinished to look new. Where boards are damaged, we patch in matching wood. We also install new hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank and tile, which work well in kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Before installing, we check the subfloor and fix squeaks and soft spots, so the floor stays flat and quiet for years.
Door Installation
Original doors in Kemp Mill's mid-century homes can stick, rattle and let in drafts. We install entry doors, storm doors, French and sliding patio doors and interior doors, in styles that fit a rambler or split-level, from simple paneled doors to modern designs with glass. Each door is set level, sealed and adjusted so it closes tight and locks smoothly. A new storm door can also let in light and fresh air while protecting your entry door. Every estimate is free.
Window Replacement
Energy-efficient windows for mid-century homes.
Windows in Kemp Mill homes are often decades old, and many leak air, fog between the panes or are hard to open. New energy-efficient windows help keep rooms comfortable in summer and winter and cut outside noise. We install 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. Every estimate is free.
Home Remodeling Process
Our process is simple. First, we start with a free consultation. Next, we handle the design and planning. We also take care of all the permits your project needs. Then our crew completes your renovation with expert craftsmanship. Finally, we do a full inspection to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.
