Design-Build Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
As a leading design-build remodeling contractor who has worked in Montgomery County and Northwest DC for over 30 years, Merrick Design and Build is committed to making the remodeling process as serene as possible. We recognize that building a trusting relationship with our clients is just as important as the work we do in our clients’ homes. Check out our five-step process, created & refined for your peace of mind:
- Project Discovery – First, we want to establish that we are a good fit. Ever heard of the “Two Beers and a Puppy” test? We want to start off our client-builder relationship by passing that test!
- Design – The first phase of the design process is the Design Agreement. Once the first design phase is completed, your Design Agreement will provide a blueprint for your vision, a construction budget summary sheet, and a basic layout and design plans.
- Pre-Construction – Upon the acceptance of the Construction Contract, a 10% deposit invoice will be issued and the Merrick Team will undergo the following steps to prepare for construction. You and your Merrick designer and Project Manager will meet to hand off the management of your project to make sure you are comfortable with your production team.
- Construction – “Under construction” looks different for each and every project. Each home and each project is unique and is handled by one of our expert Project Managers who will be your day-to-day contact for construction. They are responsible for overseeing your project and the team of dedicated professionals and craftsmen who will bring your project to life.
- Completion – At the end of your project, you will meet with your Project Manager to walk through the finished space together in what we call an “owner orientation meeting” to review how any new features operate as well as general care and maintenance. Now, the only step left is for you to enjoy your transformed space!

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
What will my kitchen remodel cost?
It is nearly impossible for us to tell you what your specific kitchen remodel will cost, without a design in place. There are so many different sizes and styles of kitchens, as well as a plethora of fixtures, finishes, materials, and other little details.
For more information on cost drivers of a kitchen remodel read this blog post, Why does a kitchen remodel cost so much?
You can also check out our financing options here.
How long does a kitchen remodeling project typically take from start to finish?
If you factor in the design time and permitting time, a kitchen remodel can take 4 to 6 months from initial concept drafting to final inspections. With 6-10 weeks spent in construction. This does vary by kitchen and project size, the municipality jurisdiction providing permits and inspections, and the availability of materials.
Your start date will be set backward from the delivery date of your cabinets and appliances. All other fixtures will be specified, ordered, and received prior to the start of construction in order to minimize delays once we begin.
Where can I see samples of cabinets and countertops?
Our office is in Kensington, MD we have a large selection of Candlelight Cabinetry door style and all their color chips to help you select the perfect cabinets for your space. Once you have settled on a particular combination, we will order a sample door so that you can be 100% confident in your choice.
In addition to cabinet samples, we also maintain a large collection of countertop, cabinet hardware, and metal finish samples in our design lab.
If you want to see even more possibilities, we can help you arrange to tour any of the local vendor showrooms in our area.
I need to be able to cook while my kitchen is under construction. What should I do?
It can be very stressful trying to maintain a normal home life while your home is being remodeled. One of the best things you can do for yourself is set aside part of your budget for having meals out or meals delivered.
If meals out are not an option for you, we can talk about temporarily moving your fridge to a different area of your home. We would recommend purchasing a portable electric burner that you can plug into a receptacle in another room, as well as temporarily setting up a microwave where you can access it during construction. Many of our clients have also relied heavily on their outdoor grills during a kitchen remodel, so that may be another option to consider.
What type of return on investment can I expect from remodeling my kitchen if I sell my home?
Return on investment (ROI) will depend on your specific home, location, and project details. You can get a general idea of ROI for the greater D.C. area by checking out Remodeling.com’s yearly Cost vs. Value report.
However, we want you to ask yourself this question first. How long do you plan to live in your home after this remodel? If it is longer than 10 years you are doing this for your enjoyment and not someone else’s.
