Orangeville sits between Sinclair Lane and Pulaski Highway in east Baltimore, close to I-895 and Dundalk. Most homes here are brick rowhouses or small detached houses built between the 1930s and 1950s. Kitchens in these homes are narrow, often galley-style, with limited counter space and outdated plumbing. Trademark Construction remodels Orangeville kitchens to add storage, counter space, and modern fixtures that fit the original footprint. Learn more about our kitchen remodeling services.
Homes along Marne Avenue and Fait Avenue share similar floor plans with the kitchen tucked into the back of the house. Many still have cast-iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and single-circuit wiring feeding the entire kitchen. We replace old plumbing with copper or PEX, upgrade the electrical panel, and install cabinetry that makes the most of narrow wall runs. If your home has a closed-off dining room next door, we can open that wall to create a larger cooking and eating space.
Orangeville is a working-class neighborhood on Baltimore’s east side. Families have lived here for decades, and many homeowners are upgrading their properties to stay long-term. The housing stock is a mix of two-story brick rowhouses and smaller detached homes built during the 1930s through 1950s. Lot widths are narrow, and most homes sit close together with shared alley access in the rear.
Orangeville Park and the Orangeville Recreation Center anchor the community with sports fields and programs for local families. Pulaski Highway runs along the southern edge with auto shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. I-895 provides quick access to Dundalk and the Baltimore Beltway. The neighborhood is close enough to downtown for commuting but keeps a quieter residential feel.
The 1930s-1950s construction here means kitchens share common problems. Original plumbing is often corroded and reduces water pressure. Electrical panels run at 60 amps, which cannot handle a modern range, dishwasher, and refrigerator on the same circuit. Narrow galley layouts waste space with poor cabinet placement. These are the issues we fix in every Orangeville kitchen remodel. Because the floor plans repeat block by block, we can estimate materials and timelines accurately before work begins.
Orangeville has both rowhouses and small detached homes, so kitchen layouts vary more than uniform neighborhoods. Rowhouse galleys need L-shaped counter conversions to gain prep space. Detached homes sometimes allow a bump-out or rear extension. We design around whichever structure you have.
Cabinet boxes in Orangeville's 1930s-1950s homes were built from old-growth hardwood that outlasts modern particleboard. Refacing swaps warped doors and yellowed drawer fronts for modern shaker or flat-panel styles. We also replace corroded hinges common in kitchens where cast-iron drain humidity accelerated rust.
Orangeville rowhouse counters run 6 to 8 linear feet along one wall, while detached homes may have two short runs in an L-shape. We template both configurations on-site, select remnant slabs that fit the shorter rowhouse runs, and use full slabs for detached homes with more counter space.
Orangeville kitchens commonly have three or four layers of vinyl stacked over decades of quick renovations. The bottom layer from the 1930s or 1940s often contains asbestos binders. We test every layer, abate as needed, and strip down to the original subfloor before installing new waterproof vinyl plank or porcelain tile.
Orangeville rowhouse kitchens sit deep in the floor plan with only one rear window, making them darker than detached homes with side windows. We run new circuits from the upgraded panel and install recessed cans plus under-cabinet LEDs tailored to the light deficit in your specific home type.
Rowhouses and detached homes in Orangeville have different structural systems. Rowhouse kitchen-dining walls carry floor loads and need a steel beam. Detached homes may use a lighter header if the wall is non-bearing. We assess each structure individually and engineer the right solution for your home type.
We remodel kitchens throughout Orangeville. Our crew works regularly along Marne Avenue, Fait Avenue, and the residential blocks between Sinclair Lane and Pulaski Highway.
