Custom Home Building & Remodeling in Hollywood, MD

Some houses show their age in ways that are easy to spot: a sagging porch roof, a driveway cracked at every seam, single-pane windows fogging between the glass. Others hide it well until a homeowner opens a wall or climbs into the attic and finds wiring, framing or insulation that hasn't been touched in decades. Either way, an older home eventually reaches a point where patch repairs stop making sense and a genuine renovation, addition or rebuild becomes the more practical choice, both for how the house performs day to day and for what it's actually worth on paper down the line.

This community sits on land that has supported working farms for generations, and much of the housing reflects that history: older farmhouses and outbuildings on larger lots than a typical suburban subdivision would allow, often with a mix of outbuildings, sheds and long-standing additions built up over decades rather than all at once. In Hollywood, that combination of age and acreage creates its own construction considerations, from septic and well placement that predates current code to additions that need to respect a working farm's layout rather than a standard residential grid.

For more than 20 years, Premiere Renovations and Construction LLC has provided reliable custom home building and remodeling in Hollywood, MD, working on everything from ground-up additions to full exterior replacements on properties of every size and age. Our services include custom home building, whole-home remodeling, home additions, basement remodeling, roof replacement and deck construction. On any home built before 1978, we follow lead-safe containment practices as a standard part of the job, not an upcharge added on later.

Hollywood got its name in 1867, when a local storeowner opened a post office inside his general store and named it for a large holly tree planted out front. The community has stayed largely rural since then, built around farms that still produce soybeans, corn, hay and grain across a landscape of open fields and working outbuildings.

In recent years an industrial park and office campus have brought steady employment into the area, drawing new residents alongside the families who have farmed here for generations. That mix of longtime agricultural households and newer arrivals means the local housing stock spans a wide range of ages, from farmhouses built well before modern building codes to homes constructed within the last decade.

Local schools, including an elementary school and a parish school, anchor the community, and roads throughout the area still connect working farms to newer residential pockets. That range, an old farmhouse next to new construction, gives Hollywood a character that is harder to find in a more uniformly built subdivision.

Farmhouses built decades ago carry their age in the structure itself, not just the finishes. Post-and-beam framing, floor lines that have shifted with decades of settling, and wiring or plumbing installed before current code all shape what a renovation actually has to solve, long before anyone picks a paint color or a countertop.

Because most of these properties sit on larger rural lots than a typical suburban parcel, homeowners have room a subdivision wouldn't allow: a full addition, a detached workshop, or a new custom home built alongside the original farmhouse instead of replacing it outright. That extra land turns a limited renovation into a genuinely open-ended project.

Newer employment growth in the area has also brought buyers looking to build from scratch on the rural parcels still available, adding fresh construction demand on top of the steady renovation work older farmhouses generate. Both trends lean on the same requirement: a contractor comfortable reading what an older structure can, and can't, support.

Adding square footage to a rural property starts as a septic and zoning question before it becomes a design one. Bedroom count against system capacity, setback limits, and the placement of a well relative to a proposed addition all get checked before drawings are finalized, because a beautifully designed addition is worthless if the septic system can't legally support the extra bedroom it creates.

Verifying an older farmhouse's framing means more than a visual check: confirming which walls actually carry load, whether the existing footings can support new weight, and how far the floor lines have drifted after decades of settling. That field measurement takes longer than sizing up a production-built home, where every wall follows the same predictable layout.

On any home built before 1978, lead-safe containment practices apply to anything that disturbs old paint, plaster or trim, from a kitchen remodel to a window replacement. That means sealed work areas and specific cleanup protocols run through the job as standard practice, protecting both the crew and the family still living in the house.
