2026 Remodeling Costs in Montgomery County, MD
Think2Remodel LLC has completed hundreds of kitchen, bathroom, and basement projects across Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Germantown. The ranges below reflect actual 2026 contractor pricing in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Montgomery County
Most Montgomery County homeowners spend $30,000 to $60,000 on a semi-custom kitchen remodel — new cabinet packages, quartz countertops, tile backsplash and updated appliances.
You do not have to start there. If your cabinet boxes are sound, refinishing or refacing updates the same kitchen from $3,500, and many homeowners phase the work — cabinets one year, countertops the next. At the other end, a full gut with a new layout and premium finishes can reach $100,000 or more.
| Scope | Kitchen Size | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet Refinishing | Standard kitchen | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Cabinet Refacing | Standard kitchen | $8,000 – $16,000 |
| Cosmetic Refresh | Standard kitchen | $10,000 – $30,000 |
| Semi-Custom Remodel | Standard kitchen | $30,000 – $60,000 |
| Full Gut Remodel | Standard kitchen | $60,000 – $100,000 |
| Luxury Remodel | Standard kitchen | $100,000 – $160,000 |
Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Montgomery County
The most requested project in our service area is a mid-range full bathroom renovation at $15,000 to $35,000 — new tile, vanity, shower surround and fixtures.
Smaller projects are common too. A tub-to-shower conversion starts around $6,500 and takes under a week, and a powder room refresh starts under $7,000. At the top end, a luxury master bath with heated floors, frameless glass and designer tile can exceed $100,000.
| Scope | Bathroom Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | Full bath | $6,500 – $18,000 |
| Cosmetic Update | Full bath | $6,000 – $14,000 |
| Mid-Range Renovation | Full bath | $15,000 – $35,000 |
| Full Gut Renovation | Full bath | $32,000 – $60,000 |
| Luxury Spa Bathroom | Master bath | $60,000 – $110,000 |
Basement Finishing Cost in Maryland
Basement finishing costs depend on square footage, purpose, and finish quality. A basic finish starts around $25,000 for a medium-sized basement. Adding a full bathroom, wet bar, or in-law suite adds significant cost. Egress windows are required by code for any bedroom use and typically cost $3,000–$6,000 per window including permits.
| Finish Level | Basement Size | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Finish | Medium (600–1,000 sq ft) | $25,000 – $45,000 |
| Standard Finish | Medium (600–1,000 sq ft) | $45,000 – $75,000 |
| Premium Finish | Medium (600–1,000 sq ft) | $75,000 – $115,000 |
| Luxury Finish | Medium (600–1,000 sq ft) | $110,000 – $165,000 |
What Affects Remodeling Costs in Montgomery County?
Several factors push costs higher or lower than the averages above. Material selections are the biggest variable — stock cabinets cost a fraction of semi-custom, and porcelain tile costs far less than natural stone. Labor rates in Montgomery County and the DC metro area run higher than the national average due to cost of living and permit complexity. Montgomery County permits are required for most structural, plumbing, and electrical work, adding both time and cost to larger projects.
Project size matters too. Larger kitchens and open-concept layouts require more cabinets, more countertop square footage, and more flooring — costs scale up. Basement projects are heavily influenced by ceiling height, existing mechanicals (HVAC, water heater, electrical panel), and whether waterproofing is needed before finishing can begin.
Scope creep is common in older homes. Once walls open up, contractors often discover outdated wiring, old plumbing, or water damage that needs to be addressed before cosmetic work can proceed. Building in a 10–15% contingency buffer is always a good idea.
