Capes, Ramblers, and Real Family Kitchens
Lanham's housing is classic post-war Maryland: cape cods with their steep roofs and dormers, brick ramblers on quiet streets, and split-levels from the later booms. The kitchens in these homes are honest, hardworking rooms — and usually too small for the families in them now. Our Lanham remodels are family-first projects: more storage, tougher finishes, layouts that survive homework hour and dinner prep at the same time.
The cape cod kitchen is a special puzzle. The footprint is tight, the ceiling slopes where the dormers cut in, and the stairs eat the middle of the house. We solve it with tall storage that uses the full height where the ceiling allows, drawers instead of doors everywhere, and sometimes a small dormer bump that buys headroom over the sink. Every inch gets a job.
Built for the Chaos
Family kitchens need finishes that forgive: quartz counters that shrug off grape juice, luxury vinyl or tile floors that handle the dog's nails, cabinet paint that wipes clean. We also plan for the traffic — a clear path from the back door to the fridge for grocery unloading, a landing zone for backpacks that is not the prep counter, outlets where the devices charge. A family kitchen is a logistics hub, and we design it like one.
Phased When It Has To Be
Not every Lanham family can do the whole kitchen at once, and we respect that. When the budget says phases, we plan the whole project up front and build it in stages that make sense — cabinets and counters now, backsplash and lighting later — so nothing gets ripped out twice. The master plan keeps each phase from painting the next one into a corner.
