Why Choose a Design-Build Company?
Wentworth is an architect-led design-build firm, offering architecture, interior design, and construction (and award-winning service) under one roof. Our experienced architects, designers, and craftsmen work collaboratively to build the home you’ve always wanted.
Kitchen Remodeling
Your kitchen should fit your lifestyle and needs—after all, it is one of the most used rooms. A kitchen renovation project is a favorite of Wentworth and always provides the perfect space for a fusion of function and design. A smart kitchen remodel can add value to your home and transform a formerly cramped room into a custom space that suits your every need and stylistic preferences.
We begin every kitchen remodeling project with research and base our design on the homeowners’ needs and desires. Years of experience have shown us that a truly beautiful kitchen is one that is functional and aesthetically pleasing. We have successfully remodeled hundreds of kitchens with stunning results, on time, and within budget.
Bathroom Renovation
Bathrooms may be a daily necessity, but your bathroom can also be a place of serenity and beauty. When you hire Wentworth to design and build your new Potomac, Maryland bathroom, the final product will improve your everyday routine and add exceptional value to your home.
Our holistic approach to bathroom design takes into consideration all aspects of the current bathroom and surrounding rooms. A master or small bathroom remodel can be as simple as updating the bathroom within its current footprint, but typically involves the redesign and reconfiguration of a cramped bathroom and master bedroom. Many of the older homes traditionally found in Potomac are charming but feature bathrooms that need improvement. Using our years of experience with home remodeling, we are able to effectively maximize size and minimize cost when approaching a master bathroom remodel.
Reconfiguring interior space
As local homeowners’ informal, modern lifestyles are better suited to open-plan kitchens and living spaces, a reconfiguration of your home’s current layout may be the perfect solution. Reconfiguring your home’s interior space can be an effective way to achieve your dream home without the expense of putting on a whole new addition. A more efficient floor plan often reveals untapped potential in your home: extra hallway space, old closet configurations, and oversized guest rooms are all areas that can be transformed into usable space. A home does not often need more space – existing space simply needs to be better used.
Reconfiguring basement space during a basement finishing project is a valuable way to benefit from space that already exists in your home. Basement space can often be put to better use as playrooms, home offices and entertainment spaces. In order to maximize basement space, Wentworth can move or conceal existing mechanical equipment, alter ductwork to gain space, and relocate a poorly laid out bathroom.
Home Additions
If you love your neighborhood and don’t want to move to accommodate a growing family unless absolutely necessary, a home addition may be an economical and efficient solution. A Wentworth home addition allows you to keep things you love about your home while improving upon the things you don’t. Whether it’s a larger kitchen, a new bathroom or an extra bedroom, home additions require careful architectural study. Our experienced and award-winning design-build team has worked on numerous home additions in Potomac, Maryland, and we understand that a cohesive home addition is achieved through a collaborative design whereby you, your architect, interior designer and construction team work together to achieve the desired design and budget results.
Our team can talk through your ideas for a:
- Porch addition

Custom home details can be simple paneled wood wainscot to enhance a library space or crown molding with exquisite detailing.

Used strategically, custom home details will take your Potomac, Maryland home from ordinary to extraordinary.
