Additions

Building an addition onto your existing home can be a great investment. At Robert L. Messick Home Improvements, we'll sit down with you to discuss your goals, desires and budget to determine an addition that you'll enjoy for years to come!

Kitchen Remodeling

Have you dreamed of a gourmet cook’s kitchen with quality appliances, or are you ready to say good-bye to a dated color scheme and no storage? In a kitchen you love, you can walk in, find what you need to get started, and go to work creating a meal or baking treats. A kitchen can be a gathering place, a spot for homework, and a room to catch up on the day with loved ones. Whatever your idea or inspiration, our designers can make it happen.

Bath Remodeling

Some bathrooms seem stuck in a time warp. They are clad in out-of-date colors or are small, cramped, and purely utilitarian. You may treat yourself to handmade bath products and luxurious towels, but you jam yourself into a small tub to “relax.” From double-sink counters to heated flooring and glass tile, bathrooms no longer have to be cramped nor cold (visually or underfoot). We can work with you to carve out space for an expanded bathroom, to find the perfect clawfoot tub for your historic home, or to pick a modern jetted bathtub to help you create your own home spa.

Basement Finishing/Remodeling

An unfinished basement holds a lot of potential. Remodeling or refinishing a basement makes smart use of often underutilized space - from custom-designed climate-controlled wine cellars to kid-friendly flooring and design; the perfect place to display sports paraphernalia or a gathering spot for movie night. You can even save money on a gym and put in your own exercise room. Our experienced remodelers take away dark corners and gray walls and create family-friendly, useful space.

Studio/Craft Room or Home Office Remodeling

Is your home office or craft room squeezed into a closet? Whether you are a telecommuter or a freelancer, a professional artist or a weekend knitter, your work space is about more than just looks. Your office should be structured around what you do and how you do it. It also needs to include storage space for tools and supplies while still being functional and attractive. If climbing over boxes and rolling over shag carpet to get your blog written is taking a toll on you, let our designers make the perfect place for you to make deals or to hone your craft.

Green Remodeling

Remodeling your home need not be a burden to the environment. Case Remodeling’s designers stay on top of the latest in eco home design and remodeling. Green choices are not an all or nothing decision. Your options run the gamut from Energy Star products and accent items such as recycled glass tiles to certifications covering energy conservation, waste reduction, gas emissions, and other environmental design components. We can discuss the pros and cons of countertop, flooring, and cabinet materials. We also follow our own strict guidelines concerning use and disposal of solvents, paint, and other construction materials. We will work with you to make the best choices for your home and your family’s needs.

Sunroom, Porch, and Portico Remodeling

Your home’s living space no longer stops at the door, and your options for entertaining outside aren’t restricted by the season. Exterior elements such as sunrooms, porches, and porticos allow you to entertain friends and family while enjoying the outdoors. New design amenities such as skylights and climate-controlled glass ensure four-season enjoyment while providing access to previously untapped living space. Talk with our designers to make the most of your exterior spaces.

Roofing

Is your roof starting to leak? Don't wait! Doing so could require costly repairs to the interior of your home. Call us today for a free estimate.

Replacement Windows

Replacement windows take the place of existing windows when they have become deteriorated, drafty or non-functional. New replacement windows may greatly decrease energy loss and outside noise.

Maryland Certified Septic Installers

When you build a new home in an area not served by public sewers you are going to have to consider installing a septic system.

Lead Abatement

Lead was used as a pigment and drying agent in "alkyd" oil based paint. "Latex" water based paints generally have not contained lead. About two-thirds of the homes built before 1940 and one-half of the homes built from 1940 to 1960 contain heavily-leaded paint. Some homes built after 1960 also contain heavily-leaded paint. It may be on any interior or exterior surface, particularly on woodwork, doors, and windows. In 1978, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of paint to 0.06% (a trace amount). Consider having the paint in homes constructed before the 1980s tested for lead before renovating or if the paint or underlying surface is deteriorating. This is particularly important if infants, children, or pregnant women are present.

If you suspect your home may have lead-based paint, give us a call and we'll be glad to assist you.
