Josh’s Screened-In Porch
Built at the turn of the 20th century, this historic home was one of the first in Chevy Chase Village. The one part of the house in need of work was the rear porch. Added in the ’80s or ’90s, it had an overgrown trellis that acted as a shelter. Yet it let the rain […]

Alan’s Entry
When Alan called Merrick, he loved almost everything about his mid-century modern Chevy Chase home – he just did not like the original 1970s entryway. It was dark and closed in, and uninviting. Alan shared an inspirational photo with us that showed a simple cable rail design on the staircase. We started by removing all […]

Lori & Bill’s Whole Home Transformation
We fondly refer to Lori and Bill’s project as “The Storybook Kitchen” because the way this warm, inviting, and beautiful kitchen came together was like a fairy tale!

Anne’s Primary Suite Addition
This enchanting home, originally built 100 years ago, is set back from the road and entirely hidden by trees. Although tiny, all 900 square feet were full of charm so the homeowners were set on building an addition rather than tear down and start from scratch. Enter Merrick Design and Build! With the goal of […]
