North Potomac is a quiet residential community of well-kept family homes, and many are ready for a fresh update. Updating a home takes care, so we plan every project around your home's style and structure. Real Time Home Improvement remodels kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. We also handle flooring, doors, and windows, and every estimate is free.
Many North Potomac homes have large basements that are still unfinished or stuck in the 1990s. We turn that space into a rec room, guest suite, or home office, complete with lighting, flooring, and a bathroom if you want one.
North Potomac primary bathrooms often have oversized tubs and dated finishes. We can replace them with a roomy walk-in shower, a double vanity, and modern tile that makes the space feel brand new.
Kitchens in North Potomac homes tend to be spacious, but the layout and finishes may be showing their age. We refresh them with new cabinets, quartz or granite counters, better lighting, and an island where it fits.
Replacing worn carpet with hardwood or luxury vinyl is one of the most popular upgrades in North Potomac. We install floors across whole levels, with clean transitions between rooms and careful subfloor prep.
We install new front, patio, sliding, and storm doors for North Potomac homes. A new door improves security and energy efficiency, and it also gives your home a fresh first impression.
If your North Potomac home still has its original windows, you may notice drafts or fog between the panes. We install energy-efficient replacement windows that keep your home comfortable all year.
Basement Remodeling
Many North Potomac homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have large basements that are still unfinished or were finished with carpet, drop ceilings and paneling that now look dated. We turn that space into a rec room, guest suite, home gym or office, complete with lighting, flooring and a bathroom if you want one. We check for moisture first, then frame, insulate, run electrical, and finish with drywall, trim and basement-rated flooring. In walk-out basements, we plan the layout around the light from the doors and windows. We handle the Montgomery County permits and inspections.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary bathrooms with walk-in showers and double vanities.
Primary bathrooms in many North Potomac homes have oversized corner tubs, dated vanities and finishes from the 1990s. We can replace them with a roomy walk-in shower with glass, a double vanity with more storage, modern tile and better lighting. If you still want a tub, a freestanding one can look great and take up less space. We also update hall baths and powder rooms. While the room is open, we fix any water damage and worn plumbing, and we waterproof every shower properly.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in North Potomac homes tend to be spacious, but the cabinets, counters and lighting may be showing their age. We refresh them with new cabinets, countertops, a tile backsplash, better lighting and new flooring, and we can rework the layout to add a larger island, a coffee bar or more pantry storage. If you want to remove a wall between the kitchen and family room, we check the structure first and handle the permits. Our designer helps you choose materials and see the plan before work starts.
Flooring Installation
New floors that tie a large home together.
Many North Potomac homes have a mix of carpet, worn hardwood and older tile from room to room. We install hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank and tile, and we refinish existing hardwood to bring back its color and shine. Running one floor through the main level can make a large home feel more connected. Before installing, we check the subfloor and fix soft spots and squeaks, so the new floor stays flat and quiet.
Door Installation
The front door is the centerpiece of many North Potomac homes, and after 30 years or more, original doors can fade, warp or let in drafts. We install entry doors with sidelights and transoms, storm doors, French and sliding patio doors and interior doors. A new patio door can make it easier to enjoy the deck and backyard. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we help you choose a style that fits its rules. Each door is set level, sealed and adjusted so it closes tight and locks smoothly.
Window Replacement
Energy-efficient windows for larger North Potomac homes.
Larger homes have more windows, so drafty or foggy ones can add up to higher heating and cooling bills. Many North Potomac homes still have windows from the 1980s and 1990s. We install energy-efficient replacement windows, including ProVia, measured to fit each opening, then insulate and finish the trim inside and out. We can replace a few problem windows or every window in the house, and every estimate is free.

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.
