Every floor is installed level, durable, and matched to the overall design direction of your kitchen remodel.

One Team, One Process

We handle design and construction under one roof, so you never deal with miscommunication between a separate designer and contractor. From cabinet layout to final tile installation, every decision flows through a single coordinated team, keeping your kitchen project on schedule and on budget.

VA Class A Licensed Contractor

We hold a Virginia Class A Contractor License (#2705177340), the highest licensing level in the state. That means your kitchen remodel meets every structural, electrical, and plumbing code requirement in Alexandria, with full accountability at every stage.

In-House Crew on Every Job

Most contractors hand your kitchen off to rotating subcontractors and disappear. We self-perform the majority of the work with our own trained crew, so quality and consistency stay under our direct control from demo day through final walkthrough.

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

Before a single cabinet comes down, you receive a detailed estimate and a structured project timeline. You know exactly what you're paying for, when each phase happens, and what your kitchen will look like when we're done.

Built for Alexandria Homes

Based in Alexandria, we bring deep experience with Northern Virginia homes, building codes, and architectural styles. Every project is treated with care, cleanliness, and respect for your property.

Consultation & Vision

We start with a detailed conversation about your kitchen goals, budget, and must-haves. Our team visits your home in Alexandria or Northern Virginia to assess the existing layout, identify structural opportunities, and help you prioritize what matters most, whether that's more storage, an open concept, or a full gut renovation.

Design & Permitting

No need to hire a separate architect or designer. We develop full 3D kitchen designs and technical plans in-house, so you can visualize your new space before construction begins. We also manage the entire permitting process with local building departments in Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax, ensuring complete code compliance from day one.

Kitchen Construction

Our in-house crew self-performs over 70% of the work, giving us direct control over every trade involved in your kitchen remodel: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing rough-in, tile, cabinetry, and finish work. You receive regular progress updates and can expect a clean, organized job site throughout the entire build.

Final Walkthrough & Warranty

We conduct a thorough final inspection together, checking every cabinet, countertop seam, fixture, and finish against our quality standard. We don't call the project complete until you're fully satisfied. Your kitchen remodel is backed by our official Workmanship Warranty for lasting peace of mind.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Alexandria, VA?

Kitchen remodel costs in Alexandria typically range from $25,000 to $45,000 for a cosmetic refresh, $45,000 to $85,000 for a full mid-range renovation, and $85,000 to $150,000+ for a complete gut remodel with layout changes and premium finishes. Labor costs in Northern Virginia run 10 to 30 percent higher than the national average due to local permit requirements and the complexity of older NOVA homes. During your free consultation, we walk through a detailed line-item estimate so you know exactly what your budget covers before any work begins.

Will my final cost match the estimate, or should I expect change orders?

In most cases, we work on a fixed-price contract, so the number in your estimate is the number you pay. If an unforeseen structural condition arises, as can happen in older Alexandria homes, we document it in writing and get your approval before any additional cost is incurred. We recommend building a 10 to 15 percent contingency into your budget from the start for any project in a pre-1985 NOVA home.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we work with trusted lending partners to offer financing options including 0% APR promotional periods and longer-term low-rate plans. Ask about current options during your free consultation and we will help you find a payment structure that fits your timeline and budget.

How long does a kitchen remodel take, and how soon can you start?

A cosmetic refresh takes 2 to 4 weeks, a full mid-range remodel runs 6 to 10 weeks, and a complete gut renovation typically takes 10 to 16 weeks of active construction. Add 2 to 6 weeks for the design and permitting phase, plus 4 to 8 weeks if custom cabinets are being ordered. We commit to a construction timeline in writing before work starts, and our schedule fills quickly, so contact us early to secure your start date.

Can we live at home while our kitchen is being remodeled?

Most of our clients stay in their homes throughout the project. Before demolition begins, we help you set up a temporary kitchen and install dust containment barriers between the work zone and the rest of your home. Our crew cleans the job site at the end of every workday and respects your schedule throughout the build.

Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?

Yes, we manage the entire permitting process with the Alexandria Permit Center, Arlington County Inspection Services, and Fairfax County Land Development Services, including plan submission, all inspections, and final sign-off. For clients in condominiums and HOA communities, we prepare submission packages and coordinate work-hour compliance on your behalf. Permit timelines run 2 to 4 weeks in Alexandria and 3 to 6 weeks in Fairfax County, and we factor that into your project schedule from day one.

Our home was built in the 1960s–1980s. What hidden issues should we expect?

Older Alexandria homes commonly have galvanized water pipes, 100-amp electrical panels, and outdated wiring that need to be addressed before a modern kitchen can be installed. We conduct a thorough pre-construction assessment to identify these conditions before demo begins, so they are priced into your estimate rather than discovered mid-project. Building a 10 to 15 percent contingency into your budget is standard practice for any renovation in a pre-1985 NOVA home.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall to create an open-concept kitchen?

Yes, and it is one of the most impactful changes we make in Alexandria split-levels and colonials. The work requires structural engineering, a properly sized beam, and permits, all of which we handle in-house. Costs typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on span length and the extent of plumbing or electrical relocation required.

Do you remodel kitchens in condos and townhouses?

Yes, a significant portion of our projects are in condominiums, co-ops, and townhouse communities across Alexandria and Arlington, from Fairlington townhomes to high-rise units near Old Town. We handle HOA submission packages, building management coordination, freight elevator scheduling, and work-hour compliance on your behalf. If your building has specific requirements, bring them to your consultation and we will confirm feasibility before the project begins.

What does your Workmanship Warranty cover, and for how long?

Our Workmanship Warranty covers defects in installation quality for one year from project completion, including cabinetry, tile, countertop seams, flooring, and all finish work performed by our crew. If something fails due to workmanship within that period, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. Manufacturer warranties on cabinets, appliances, and materials apply separately and typically range from 1 to 25 years, with full documentation provided at the final walkthrough.

How do we choose materials and finishes? Do you have a showroom?

Material selection is part of our design process, not something handled after the contract is signed. We guide you through countertop, cabinet, tile, flooring, and hardware options from trusted suppliers including Cambria, Silestone, MSI, and Kohler, and can direct you to supplier showrooms in the Alexandria and Northern Virginia area. Every selection is confirmed in writing before ordering begins so there are no last-minute changes that push your timeline.

Every home in Alexandria and Northern Virginia has its own unique character, and we’re here to provide the clarity you need. Reach out today for a professional consultation and expert advice tailored to your vision.
