Fifty Years of Local Work in Montgomery County

We’ve been remodeling kitchens in Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Kensington, North Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Olney, Germantown, Potomac, and Silver Spring since 1973. That’s not a marketing number it’s the actual length of time we’ve been working in these neighborhoods, building a reputation through referrals and repeat clients, not advertising spend. Businesses that cut corners don’t last 50 years in a market driven by word of mouth. Our reviewers from Kensington, Gaithersburg, and North Bethesda aren’t just satisfied they’re the ones sending their neighbors our way. That kind of trust takes decades to build and one bad job to lose. We’ve never been willing to risk it. When Gordon started Optima Design Group in 1973, he was a University of Maryland student who combined a genuine love for home remodeling with a natural instinct for problem-solving. That same approach — show up, prepare properly, execute well, and stand behind the work is still how every kitchen remodel in Montgomery County gets done today.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

It depends on what the project involves. In Maryland, simple updates like painting, installing new cabinets, or swapping out countertops typically don’t require a permit. But if your remodel touches electrical, plumbing, or involves structural changes — like removing a wall to open up the layout — permits are required.Montgomery County has its own Department of Permitting Services requirements on top of Maryland’s state-level rules, so it’s not always straightforward. The important thing to know is that only contractors holding a valid Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license can legally pull permits on your behalf. We’re fully licensed, so that part of the process is handled correctly from the start.
The honest answer is that it varies — and any contractor who gives you a firm number before seeing your kitchen is guessing. The cost depends on the size of your space, the materials you choose, and the scope of work involved.In Montgomery County specifically, where home values run high and neighborhoods like Bethesda and Potomac command premium pricing, kitchen remodels tend to return stronger ROI than the national average. Minor kitchen remodels nationally return 96–113% of their cost, but in this market, homeowners often see even better returns. We don’t publish a price list because every project is different — but we do provide detailed, written estimates, and our customers consistently note that the final bill matches what we quoted. Contact us and we’ll give you an accurate number based on your actual kitchen.
Timeline depends on the scope of the project. A focused update — new countertops, cabinet refacing, and a backsplash — can be completed in a matter of days. A more comprehensive renovation involving layout changes, new flooring, and full cabinet replacement will take longer.What we commit to is finishing when we say we will. Our clients specifically call out the fact that we gave them a timeline and hit it. We know that having your kitchen out of commission is disruptive, especially in a busy Montgomery County household — so we staff projects appropriately and show up every day until the work is done.
Kitchen cabinet refacing in Montgomery County is worth serious consideration if your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you’re happy with your current layout. Refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and visible surfaces — giving you a dramatically different look at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. It also means less disruption and a faster turnaround.Full cabinet replacement makes more sense when the boxes themselves are damaged, when you want to reconfigure the layout, or when you’re doing a complete kitchen renovation and want everything to be new. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which route makes sense for your specific kitchen — not just the option that costs more.
Maryland requires all home improvement contractors performing work over $500 to hold a valid MHIC license — that’s the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. You can verify any contractor’s license status directly at mhic.maryland.gov.Beyond the state requirement, Montgomery County has its own licensing requirements through the Department of Permitting Services. A contractor who can’t show you an active MHIC license cannot legally pull permits on your behalf, which creates real problems if you ever sell your home and a buyer’s inspector finds unpermitted work. We hold an active General Contractor license and are fully compliant with both state and county requirements — and we’re happy to provide our license information upfront.
Yes — and this is one of the most common situations we encounter in Montgomery County’s older neighborhoods like Silver Spring, Wheaton, Kensington, and Rockville, where homes from the 1950s through the 1980s often have closed-off, compact kitchens.The right cabinet configuration can dramatically improve storage and flow. A well-chosen countertop material makes a small space feel larger and more finished. Updated lighting, a new backsplash, and smarter use of vertical space can change the entire feel of a kitchen without touching a single load-bearing wall. Not every small kitchen remodel requires a structural overhaul — sometimes it just requires someone who knows what they’re doing. We’ll tell you honestly what’s possible within your space and your budget.
