It’s a zoning issue but not in the way I think you’re saying. There is zero reason (aside from nimby-ism). There are houses in poor condition, why not allow homeowners to rebuild them into triplexes that are similar size to the houses near them (within a certain % greater), or convert their existing single family detached homes into duplexes? Or allow ADU’s on larger lots?

Most owners won’t do this, so it will be slow and gentle. Why not allow homeowners to allow their properties to work for their families?

We used Brothers Services for kitchen backsplash and countertops last Fall. It was our second time using them for work around our house and they did a great job again! They have a design shop near Savage where they helped us pick the materials and the actual work was done more quickly than they had anticipated as they did a good job coordinating across the various tradespeople involved. Definitely recommend them!

I used American Kitchen Concepts and had a great experience. Dan is a good guy and had a great crew. That was the key IMO. I saw Dan mostly during the design/consulting phase. But it was his crew that I had to deal with for 3 weeks while we were getting our entire kitchen redone.

That said - I do recall Dan using a company called Counter Intelligence (Silver Spring?) for our counters. So if that is all you need, it may be worth a shot going straight to them. They probably can also do your backsplash. We just used the same marble material for our backsplash behind the cooktop.
