Kitchen Remodeling Baltimore MD | Labor-Only Pricing

How It Works

Labor-Only Kitchen Remodeling in Baltimore, MD

Most contractors mark up your materials 20–40% and bury it in the total. CBJ doesn't do that. Whether you're in Towson, Jarrettsville, or Laurel — we charge labor-only pricing. You buy your own supplies directly from the supplier at their price, and we install everything. That means you see exactly what you're paying for and you save thousands.

You're not on your own picking materials either. We take you shopping, walk the showroom with you, and give expert guidance on sinks, countertops, backsplash, cabinets, flooring — everything. We've been doing this with over 32 years of hands-on experience so we know what looks great, what lasts, and what fits your budget.

Minor materials like tile mastic, grout, caulk, and fasteners are covered in our estimate. You only buy the big-ticket items — and you buy them at the supplier's price, not ours.

I'm Ready to Schedule My Estimate

What does "labor-only pricing" mean?

It means our estimate covers the cost of installation labor and minor materials (grout, mastic, caulk, fasteners, etc.). You purchase the major materials — cabinets, countertops, sinks, tile, flooring — directly from the supplier at their price. No markup from us. This typically saves homeowners thousands compared to contractors who bundle and mark up materials.

Do I have to pick materials by myself?

No — we take you shopping. We go to the supplier with you and give hands-on guidance on every selection: countertop materials, sink styles, backsplash options, cabinet finishes, flooring types. You get over 32 years of hands-on experience on what looks great, what lasts, and what fits your budget. You're never on your own.

How much can I actually save with labor-only pricing?

Most contractors mark up materials 20–40%. On a typical Baltimore kitchen remodel, that markup alone can be $3,000–$10,000+. With CBJ, you buy direct from the supplier and keep that money in your pocket. The exact savings depend on the materials you choose, but every customer saves.

What materials are covered in the labor estimate?

Minor installation materials like tile mastic, grout, caulk, fasteners, and adhesives are included in our labor estimate. You purchase the big-ticket items: cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, backsplash tile, flooring, and fixtures. We'll tell you exactly what to buy — there are no surprises.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchen remodels take 1–6 weeks depending on scope. Once your materials are purchased and delivered, our crews get to work right away. We'll give you a detailed timeline during your free estimate.

What if I'd rather shop for materials on my own?

That's completely fine. If you're comfortable making your own design decisions, you don't have to shop with us. Your project manager can provide all the specifications you'll need — dimensions, clearances, material requirements, and anything else to make sure what you buy will work with your layout. We're here if you need us, but you're welcome to handle selections on your own.
