Gaithersburg homeowners get kitchen, bath, and townhouse remodeling from SWS Contracting & Management, built for 1970s and 80s homes from Kentlands to Olde Towne, with permits filed at City Hall.
What does remodeling work look like in Gaithersburg homes?
Gaithersburg pulls its own building permits. Inside city limits, remodeling permits come from City Hall on South Summit Avenue, not from county DPS, so that is the first thing we sort out on a project here. Our crews run down I-270 from Clarksburg and reach Gaithersburg in about 20 minutes. The median home here was built in 1988 (U.S. Census, 2024), which makes the typical house close to 40 years old, and late-1980s builder-grade kitchens and baths are past their design life. When walls open up during a kitchen remodeling project, they often expose dated shutoff valves and venting that must be brought up to current code.
That aging stock is no surprise. About 45 percent of Gaithersburg's homes went up between 1970 and 1989 (U.S. Census, 2024). That construction wave shapes the work here. Owners want closed-off kitchens opened up. Old particleboard subfloors need repair before new flooring goes down. Popcorn ceilings and dark trim put interior painting on most project lists.
Gaithersburg is a townhouse town. About 3 in 10 homes here are townhouses, more than the number of detached houses (U.S. Census, 2024). Neighborhoods like Kentlands and Lakelands are dense with attached, alley-loaded homes. Townhouse remodels carry extra rules: party walls are fire-rated and cannot be casually opened, HOAs must approve exterior siding and roofing colors, and tight shared parking limits where a dumpster can sit.
The median owner-occupied home in Gaithersburg is worth $530,500 (U.S. Census, 2024). At that value, mid-to-upper-range kitchen and bath remodels and home additions make financial sense. Tell us your street and your HOA, and we will handle the approval paperwork and the dumpster spot before the first day of work.

Where can I find a remodeling contractor near me in Gaithersburg, MD?
About 20 minutes down I-270. SWS Contracting & Management works Gaithersburg out of Clarksburg, and most of what we do here is updating late-1980s builder kitchens and baths in townhouse neighborhoods like Kentlands, Lakelands, and Olde Towne. Call (202) 440-1667 to set up your free estimate for a Gaithersburg project.
Who issues building permits for a remodel in Gaithersburg?
Montgomery County DPS lists Gaithersburg as a City Permit Only municipality. Building permits inside city limits come from the City of Gaithersburg's own Building and Code Administration at 31 South Summit Avenue, not from county DPS. Filing an addition or structural remodel with the wrong office stalls the job, so we make sure Gaithersburg projects file with City Hall, not county DPS.
Is a 1980s Gaithersburg home worth remodeling?
Yes. About 45 percent of Gaithersburg homes went up between 1970 and 1989 (U.S. Census, 2024). The median owner-occupied home is now worth $530,500. Updating an original kitchen, bath, or first-generation vinyl floor protects real value. Most remodels in these older homes also replace dated shutoff valves and venting so the finished work meets current code.
When should exterior remodeling work happen in Gaithersburg?
Plan siding and roofing work for the warm months. The area gets about 74 nights at or below freezing a year (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals). Caulk, paint, and roofing glue all need warm days to set up right. With just over 40 inches of rain a year, good flashing and working gutters decide how long the finished job lasts.
