Looking for kitchen remodeling in Fairfax, VA that respects both your budget and your timeline? Building America Construction (BAC) is a licensed and insured remodeler with 15+ years of experience and 300+ completed projects across Northern Virginia. From dated galleys in Fairfax County Colonials to full gut renovations near Old Town Fairfax, we design kitchens that fit how Fairfax families live.
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Fairfax
Much of Fairfax was built out in the 1960s and 1970s, which means a lot of solid Colonials and split-levels with kitchens closed off from the rest of the house and sized for a different era. Newer townhomes near Old Town Fairfax bring their own puzzles. Whatever the vintage, we handle it.
What We Build
- Custom cabinets built and finished by our in-house carpenters, sized for compact townhome kitchens or generous suburban layouts 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 the closed-off kitchens common in Fairfax split-levels to the dining and living areas
- Lighting design with recessed cans, under-cabinet LEDs, and pendant fixtures

What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Fairfax
Most kitchen remodels in Fairfax 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.
Fairfax’s housing mix shapes the number too. A 1960s or 1970s Colonial often needs updated wiring or a wall removed to open a cramped kitchen, while a newer townhome may trade heavy structural work for 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 Fairfax, VA?
Most Fairfax 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 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 Fairfax?
Usually, yes. Most Fairfax kitchen remodels that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural work require permits, which run through the City of Fairfax or Fairfax County depending on where your home sits. Cosmetic-only updates sometimes do not need one. We handle the permitting as part of the project so the work is inspected and up to code.
Can you open my kitchen to the living room?
Often, yes. Many Fairfax Colonials and split-levels were built with closed-off kitchens, and opening one to the dining or living area is among our most requested projects. If the wall is load-bearing, we engineer and install a proper beam so the space is both open and structurally sound.
Should I choose custom or stock cabinets?
It depends on your kitchen and budget. Stock cabinets cost less and work well when standard sizes fit the layout, while custom cabinets built by our in-house carpenters make sense for odd dimensions, specific finishes, or maximizing storage in an older Fairfax kitchen. We walk you through the tradeoffs during design.
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.
