Kitchen remodeling tips for Gibson Island homeowners
Every market has its quirks, and Gibson Island is no exception. Here is what matters most for a kitchen remodel around Gibson Island, based on local housing data and Maryland requirements.
Plan for outlets, capacity and modern appliances
Kitchens built around 1960 were not designed for today's appliance loads. Ask an electrician whether your panel and circuits can support a new range, dishwasher and countertop appliances.
Check permit rules with the county or city permits office
Before work starts, ask the county or city permits office serving Gibson Island which permits your scope needs. The Maryland building codes adopted by your county or city sets the baseline, and local offices administer it, so requirements can differ from one municipality to the next, even between neighbors like Gibson Island and Arnold.
Verify your contractor's credentials in Maryland
Maryland requires home improvement contractors to hold a Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license; you can verify a license number on the state’s lookup before you sign anything. Take a few minutes to verify this for anyone you hire in Gibson Island.
Set up a temporary kitchen
Plan how you will cook and clean while the kitchen is under construction. A temporary setup in a dining room or garage makes a long project far more comfortable.
Keep a contingency in the budget
Plan for the unexpected. Whether it is a hidden repair or a mid-project upgrade, a contingency of around 10 to 15 percent gives your Gibson Island project room to adjust.
Follow lead-safe practices in older homes
About 56% of housing around Gibson Island predates 1970. Federal rules require lead-safe work practices for many renovations in homes built before 1978, so hire crews who follow them and ask how dust will be contained.
Plan around Maryland's climate
With four distinct seasons with humid summers, Gibson Island homeowners should think about how materials perform through the year. With Maryland’s humid summers, proper venting keeps moisture and grease from settling on new cabinetry and finishes.
