đź“Ť Serving Alexandria, VA plus Arlington, Fairfax, Springfield, Falls Church
Looking for kitchen remodeling in Alexandria, VA that respects both your budget and the character of your home? Building America Construction (BAC) is a licensed and insured remodeler with 15+ years of experience and 300+ completed projects across Northern Virginia. Alexandria is a city of historic Old Town rowhouses, 1940s brick Colonials, Del Ray bungalows, and modern condos, and each one asks something different from a kitchen. We design remodels that balance modern function with the historic character Alexandria homeowners want to keep.
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Alexandria
Alexandria’s housing stock runs from centuries-old rowhouses in Old Town to postwar brick Colonials, charming Del Ray bungalows, and high-rise condos near the waterfront and Metro. Each comes with its own quirks: closed-off floor plans, dated wiring, tight footprints, and kitchens sized for a different era. We handle all of it, and we know how to work inside a home that has real history.
What We Build
- Custom cabinets built and finished by our in-house carpenters, sized for a narrow Old Town galley or a generous suburban kitchen alike
- Countertops in quartz, granite, and butcher block, templated and installed to precise measurements
- Kitchen islands and peninsulas that add prep space and seating without crowding the room
- Gut renovations that take a dated kitchen down to the studs and rebuild it right
- Layout changes, including opening cramped galley kitchens common in older Alexandria homes
- Lighting design with recessed cans, under-cabinet LEDs, and pendant fixtures
Why Choose BAC in Alexandria
We are fully licensed and insured, with 15+ years in business and more than 300 projects behind us. Because our electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and tile setters are in-house rather than subcontracted, we control quality and scheduling from demolition to final walkthrough. Every kitchen is backed by our 1-year warranty, and we hold firm to our on-time, on-budget commitment, which matters in Alexandria condos where building management and elevator reservations leave no room for delays, and in Old Town homes where careful work protects original details.

- Design and quote with clear scope, materials, and a fixed price
- Permitting and prep, including City of Alexandria permits and HOA or condo association approvals

What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Alexandria
Most kitchen remodels in Alexandria run $35,000 to $100,000 or more, and where you land depends almost entirely on scope. A cabinet and countertop refresh that keeps the existing layout sits at the low end. A full gut renovation that moves walls or relocates plumbing, adds custom cabinetry, and finishes with quartz sits at the high end. The biggest cost drivers are cabinets, countertops, appliances, labor, layout or structural changes, and permits.
Alexandria’s housing mix shapes the number too. A historic Old Town rowhouse or a 1940s Colonial can hide surprises behind the walls, from outdated wiring to plaster and framing that need attention once the demolition starts, while a waterfront condo may trade heavy structural work for tighter access and association rules. Because every kitchen is different, we quote ranges until we see the space, then firm them into a fixed price. For a real number on your kitchen, schedule a free estimate and we will put clear scope and pricing in writing. This work pairs naturally with our broader kitchen remodeling services across Northern Virginia.
How Long a Kitchen Remodel Takes
Timeline tracks scope the same way cost does. A minor or cosmetic update (new cabinets, counters, and fixtures on the existing footprint) usually takes 2-3 weeks. A midrange remodel with some new layout or finishes runs 4-7 weeks. A major renovation with structural or layout changes, relocated plumbing, or a wall removal generally takes 8-14 weeks. The single biggest variable is custom cabinetry, which carries a 6-10 week lead time from order to delivery, so we order early and sequence the rest of the work around it.
Our Warranty
Every kitchen we build is backed by BAC’s 1-year workmanship warranty on our labor and installation. On top of that, your cabinets, countertops, and appliances carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we hand over that documentation at the final walkthrough so you know what is covered and for how long. Because our trades are in-house, if something needs attention during the warranty period, the same team that built your kitchen comes back to make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Alexandria, VA?
Most Alexandria kitchen remodels fall between $35,000 and $100,000 or more. A cabinet and countertop refresh lands near the low end, while a full gut renovation with custom cabinetry, quartz, and moved walls or plumbing lands at the high end. The final price depends on cabinets, countertops, appliances, labor, layout changes, and permits, and historic homes or condos can add surprises, so we quote a fixed price after seeing your kitchen.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic update typically takes 2-3 weeks, a midrange remodel 4-7 weeks, and a major renovation with structural or layout changes 8-14 weeks. Custom cabinets add a 6-10 week lead time, which we order early so it does not stall the rest of the build.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Alexandria?
Usually, yes. Most Alexandria kitchen remodels that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural work require permits from the City of Alexandria, while cosmetic-only updates sometimes do not. We handle the permitting as part of the project so the work is inspected and up to code.
Can you remodel a historic Old Town home?
Yes. We regularly work in Old Town’s historic rowhouses and other older Alexandria homes, where the goal is to add modern function without erasing original character. That can mean working around plaster walls, uneven floors, and dated wiring, and we plan for those realities so the finished kitchen fits the home rather than fighting it.
Do you remodel condo kitchens in Alexandria?
Yes. We remodel condo and high-rise kitchens throughout Alexandria, including near the waterfront and Metro. Condo work adds coordination with your HOA or building management, including approvals, insurance certificates, and elevator reservations, and we manage that so your remodel stays on schedule.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Building America Construction is fully licensed and insured, with 15+ years in business and more than 300 completed projects. Our electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and tile setters are all in-house, so quality and scheduling stay under one roof.
