Germantown homeowners work with SWS Contracting & Management, based 15 minutes away in Clarksburg, on kitchens, baths, floors, and townhomes built in the 1980s and 1990s.
How does the age of Germantown's homes shape your remodel?
Germantown grew as a planned community, and about 56 percent of its homes were built between 1980 and 1999 (U.S. Census, 2024). Those original builder-grade kitchens and baths are 27 to 46 years old now, past the repair window and into the replacement window. Clarksburg is the next town up, so our crews reach Germantown in about 15 minutes.
Townhomes are Germantown's largest housing type, about 39 percent of all homes (U.S. Census, 2024). Shared walls, HOA exterior rules, and tight street parking shape how a remodel gets staged, and we plan for all three. Interior work leads here: bathroom remodeling and kitchen updates in a dated townhome protect real equity, with the median Germantown home now valued at $448,200.
The median Germantown home was built in 1992, which puts it inside the polybutylene era. That plastic supply piping was made from 1978 to mid-1995, and some water disinfectants make it flake apart from the inside. When a bathroom or kitchen remodel opens your walls, we inspect the supply lines. Replacing bad pipe during the remodel beats a burst line and a flood later.
Weather does its own remodeling in Germantown. NOAA normals at nearby Dulles show 41.54 inches of rain in a normal year. Snow adds another 22 inches on top of that. Sustained rain plus freeze cycles work on shingles, flashing, siding joints, and exterior caulk. On a 30-plus-year-old home, that makes roof replacement and fresh siding weather-driven needs, not cosmetic upgrades. Ask for a free estimate on your Germantown home.

Who issues building permits for a remodel in Germantown, MD?
Germantown is an unincorporated area, so residential permits run through Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services (DPS). The county offers a Residential Fast Track process plus dedicated deck permit tracks. Home additions, structural changes, and decks all need a DPS permit. We walk you through the DPS filing and inspection sequence so your paperwork goes to the right office and you know what the county needs at each step.
Is a 1980s or 1990s Germantown home worth remodeling?
Yes. About 56 percent of Germantown homes were built between 1980 and 1999 (U.S. Census, 2024). The original builder-grade cabinets, tubs, and vanities in those homes are 27 to 46 years old now, due for full replacement rather than another repair. With the median home value at $448,200, a smart kitchen or bath update protects real equity without over-improving the house.
Can you remodel a townhome in Germantown?
Yes. Townhomes are Germantown's largest housing type, about 39 percent of all homes, so we plan for shared walls, HOA exterior rules, and tight street parking from day one. Interior work like kitchens, baths, flooring, and paint fits a townhome well. We stage materials and crews to respect your neighbors and your HOA's rules.
Should I check for polybutylene pipes during a Germantown remodel?
Yes, if your home was built between 1978 and mid-1995, the years polybutylene supply piping was made. Most Germantown homes date to 1980 through 1999, right inside that era. Certain water disinfectants make the pipe flake apart from the inside. When a remodel opens your walls, that is the cheapest moment to inspect the lines and replace any bad pipe.
Where can I find a remodeling contractor near me in Germantown, MD?
