General Contracting & Remodeling in Gaithersburg, MD

Every remodeling, repair, and general contracting service C&M offers, in one category.

Gaithersburg's housing stock spans a lot of decades -- older split-levels and colonials from the 1960s-80s near the city's original core, newer townhomes and single-family homes out toward Kentlands and Washingtonian, and everything in between along the Muddy Branch corridor. Each brings a different set of remodeling and repair needs: a dated bathroom with failing waterproofing in an older home, a punch list of small repairs that piled up over the years, or finish work on a newer build that needs to match what's already there.

C&M groups every service under this one category because a single project usually touches more than one trade at once. A kitchen remodel needs demo, possibly an electrical or plumbing move, and finish carpentry before it's done. Working with one contractor across all of it means fewer handoffs between separate companies and fewer chances for the finished work not to line up.

FAQ

General contracting & remodeling questions

Do you handle the whole project or just parts of it?

C&M General Contractors covers the full scope of a remodel or repair project. Carlos handles what he can directly and brings in a subcontractor for anything outside his own trade, so you’re coordinating with one person instead of several separate contractors.

Do I need a permit for my project in Montgomery County?

It depends on the scope -- structural changes, and most plumbing and electrical work, typically require a permit through Montgomery County, while cosmetic work like drywall patching or a straightforward fixture swap usually doesn’t. Carlos will flag it during the walkthrough before any work starts.

How far out do you book?

It varies with the season and current workload. Call or text and Carlos will give you a straight answer on timing for your specific project.

Can you work on an older home, not just newer construction?

Yes -- Gaithersburg and the surrounding Montgomery County suburbs have a wide range of housing stock, from 1960s-70s split-levels to newer townhomes, and older homes often come with their own wiring, plumbing, or framing quirks that get factored into the plan.
