"I recently chose Harford Custom Homes to renovate the master bathroom in my 1900s home. With the complexity of the age of the home, I believed the dreams I had would be unachievable. Joe and Kyle made it happen! Not only do they have incredible attention to detail, bringing my dreams to a reality, they are always available.

"We cant say enough good things about Q&R. Its a family business and you can really tell the difference. We asked them to design a studio apt for our basement and they delivered a top tier space. Palma mapped out a precise budget and stuck to it. We didnt get any of the usual surprise fees/nickel-and-dime drama that so many contractors pull. Quite the opposite- they went above and beyond with custom cabinetry and a gorgeous shower upgrade. We had some significant delays due to MD county permitting — there were lessons learned all around. And this team went above and beyond to complete the job at warp speed once we had approvals. The team was there every. single. day. knocking out the work. The communication was proactive, accountable and professional. The final design and the experience exceeded all our expectations. It’s absolutely amazing how they transformed a 280 sq foot room into a fully livable apartment. We would work w/Palma and Joe again in a heart beat!"

"Briscoe accepted a job involving a drain tile system installation, window wrapping, and installing new steps. None of the work was performed satisfactorily or up to code, until he was forced by the City/State regulators. This contractor is unknowledgeable with most home improvement skills and relied on City inspectors to instruct him; therefore, multiple inspections and revisions held up the project. He could not perform basic skills such as caulking. A two week project took 6 months to complete, and wasted my value time. I do not recommend him to anyone."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Essex, MD

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
