Kitchen remodeling tips for Towson homeowners
What works in one Maryland town does not always work in the next. These tips are tuned to Towson, based on its housing data and state rules.
Plan for outlets, capacity and modern appliances
Kitchens built around 1969 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 Towson 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 Towson and Parkville.
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 Towson.
Plan around Maryland's climate
With four distinct seasons with humid summers, Towson 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.
Keep a contingency in the budget
In older homes like many around Towson, it is wise to hold back 10 to 15 percent of the budget for surprises found once walls and floors are opened.
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.
Follow lead-safe practices in older homes
About 57% of housing around Towson 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.
