Get matched with top outdoor kitchen builders in Brooklyn, MD

"They completed a 10 by 14-foot paver patio with a retaining wall on two sides under an existing deck. The project was completed in two days. Marvin told me the names/colors of the materials that would be used so I could view before the project was started. I asked questions at every step and Marvin explained everything that they were doing in detail. I would definitely use them again."

"Very attentive to cleaning up the job after the job was done."

"Great service and good work!"

"I cannot say enough good things about working with ARDO. Responsive, prompt, stayed on schedule, stayed on budget. They showed up every single day over the course of 6 months until the work was done. You will not regret choosing ARDO."

"I would highly recommend Kenwood Kitchens and Bath. We had removed the existing shower stall, but soon realized that the project was beyond our do-it-yourself talents. Steve saved us lots of time and energy and after the selections were made at the Columbia show room, the project moved along well. Within one week, the plumber, tile man, and shower doors were installed. No messy clean up for me, and Perfection! Very happy with the results."

"I'm not sure how Stewart's Lawn Service is, but I can without a doubt NOT recommend them for landscaping. As soon as they deposited my down payment for our project, it became a huge disappointing nightmare! From lack of communication, to flat out lying to us and lying about us (in their internal records system - saying we had picked finishes or that they had talked to us, or that they couldn't get a hold of us), to poor workmanship - I would never in a million years recommend them to do any backyard project. We had them replace retaining walls, concrete patio and steps, and install stone steps in our back yard. I'm not sure the retaining walls were installed properly (I don't think the french drain drains anywhere), the stone steps had to be repositioned 4 times, the pavers that were installed had to be re-done in one section because they created a tripping hazard around our pool, and the concrete steps look like a 4 year old played with modeling clay (and that was after they came out 3 times to fix them). Dirt that was dug up was haphazardly thrown in the yard - and only when we complained did they attempt to make it look leveled out. I had requested an itemized project estimate - give me a general idea as to where they came up with their final estimate for each part of our project - and never received that. Also never received a project drawing/rendering prior to the start of our project. Had I known anything about landscaping projects - I would have been adamant about getting those prior to giving a deposit. Overall, very disappointed to have spent so much money and not love the outcome."

"The service was excellent, it was good, they came and did the cleaning, protected everything and checked everything out and made sure that everything is working fine. They were a good company to work with, as we are a repeat customer of theirs."

"Exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and deep integrity—JJ Palmer of Maryland Home Improvement Company delivers at the highest level. One morning not long ago, during breakfast, we heard a crash from upstairs. This time it wasn’t the cat getting into mischief—it was a large shelf in our closet giving way after thirty-one years of faithful service. To its credit, the old wire system had lasted decades. But what followed was not just a replacement—it was a complete transformation. We’re now standing in a custom-built white oak closet designed and executed by JJ Palmer, and it’s one of the finest examples of residential craftsmanship we’ve ever encountered. Every detail has been carried out with extraordinary care and quiet precision. The workmanship doesn’t shout—but it absolutely sings. You see it in every cut and corner. Trim lines are crisp and flush, hand-scribed to imperfect walls so precisely that they seem to have grown there rather than been added. Shelf edges are finished so carefully that all end grain is hidden, and the face grain flows seamlessly across components. Even the angled shoe shelves—normally utilitarian—are grain-matched and gracefully proportioned, elevating function to quiet elegance. The layout itself reveals a deep understanding of proportion and geometry: verticals and horizontals are aligned across bays with rhythmic consistency; trim widths are uniform; spacing feels intentional and calming. Every inch of the system—from the sloped shoe racks to the deeper bay for long dresses and luggage—feels purposeful, balanced, and beautifully made. Nothing is extraneous. It’s the kind of design that honors both material and use. JJ selected the materials with a discerning eye: knot-free white oak with straight, harmonious grain, installed in ways that bring out its natural beauty rather than compete with it. Even before stain was applied, the woodwork had presence and refinement. Once finished in a light weathered gray, the result was timeless, tactile, and visually integrated with the rest of the space—including our flooring and lighting.. What truly sets JJ apart, though, is not just his technical ability: it’s his ethos. We’ve worked with him before, on projects ranging from a bathroom remodel to a full basement build-out, and each time, he brings the same consistency of quality, professionalism, and quiet pride in his work. He listens well, offers thoughtful solutions, and always delivers what he promises—without shortcuts, excuses, or ego. In a world where true craftsmanship often feels like a relic, JJ Palmer is the real thing. We recommend Maryland Home Improvement Company without hesitation, and with deep appreciation."

"Chris Zoltan is the real deal. He is immensely talented and knows what he is doing. I was very nervous throughout the process. The final product by Zoltan Design was striking and distinctive. There were some glitches. For example, the dining chair heights are a bit too low for the dining table. But, overall, I love my living room and dining room space. If you are looking for inexpensive design, this is not the firm for you. Be ready to spend top dollar. If you are looking for quality, vision, and distinctiveness, than you will be satisfied with Zoltan Design."
