About Gramophone Design Build

Award-Winning Design Build Firm in Maryland & Southern Pennsylvania

Gramophone Design Build, formerly Maryland Kitchen Design Center, is a full-service remodeling and renovation firm specializing in whole-home renovations, large-scale kitchens and baths, and custom living spaces that blend exceptional craftsmanship with cutting-edge smart home technology.


At Gramophone Design Build, we believe great homes aren’t just built—they’re composed—crafted with care for the people who live in them and the stories they hold. With precision, intention, and deep respect for the craft, we turn ideas into environments that reflect and enrich everyday life.


As the design-build arm of the Gramophone family—known for five decades of excellence in sound, design, and innovation—we share the same belief: that beauty, function, and joy belong in every corner of the home.


Our collaborative team of designers, builders, and licensed professionals all work as one to bring your space to life. From concept to completion, we manage every phase of your project with transparency, craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things right. We bring clarity to complexity and beauty to every detail—creating spaces that reflect your life and elevate the way you live.


Because a home isn’t just where life happens.
It’s where it’s made beautiful.

Core Values

Craftsmanship

Excellence in quality design is non-negotiable. We honor the artistry in every detail and hold ourselves to the highest standards. From framing to finish work, we build with care, pride, and an unwavering commitment to ensure every project we undertake is built to last and crafted to exceed expectations.


Collaboration

We believe great homes are built on great relationships. That means listening deeply, guiding thoughtfully, and working hand-in-hand with clients, teammates, and trade partners from start to finish. We take the time to understand you and your home so that the final space feels uniquely yours. Ongoing collaboration leads to better coordination, more thoughtful solutions, and ultimately, a higher-quality result.


Innovation
We embrace innovation as a mindset—blending timeless design with cutting-edge technology to create homes that are as intuitive as they are beautiful. We stay curious, evolve with the industry, and integrate solutions that make everyday life smarter, simpler, and more connected.


Integrity
We show up, take responsibility, and do the right thing—always. Transparency and accountability are foundational to how we work: clear communication, honest budgeting, and consistent follow-through. Our clients trust us with their homes, and we don’t take that lightly. No egos here—just a shared commitment to the best possible outcome.


Joy
We turn ideas into environments, and homes into spaces that reflect who you are and how you live. At the heart of every transformation is joy—the joy of a space that works beautifully, the joy of coming together, and the joy of seeing your vision come to life. We create homes that make the everyday feel extraordinary.
