Kitchen Remodel in Sterling, VA — Case Study
A Real Kitchen Remodel in Sterling, VA — With the Real Numbers
A full kitchen remodel in our home town — proof that a complete transformation in Sterling doesn’t have to reach six figures.
The Numbers
A Sterling kitchen, before
Sterling is where EA Home Design is based, and we’ve remodeled more kitchens here than anywhere else. The pattern is consistent: 1970s and 80s homes with original or once-updated kitchens — dark cabinets, tired counters, layouts from an era when kitchens were meant to be hidden.
This kitchen was exactly in that pattern, and the homeowners’ goal was straightforward: a completely new kitchen at a sensible Sterling budget.
What we did — and one honest tradeoff
A full remodel in the existing footprint: new cabinetry, quartz countertops, new appliances, updated lighting, and flooring. Same layout, entirely new kitchen.
The tradeoff: at $60K–$75K, you keep the existing layout. Moving walls or plumbing would push this project past $90K quickly. For most Sterling homes, the original layout is workable — spending the budget on quality cabinetry and surfaces instead is the better trade.

Questions Sterling Homeowners Ask
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Sterling?
This full remodel ran $60K–$75K over about six weeks — a realistic number for a complete same-layout remodel with quality semi-custom cabinetry. Layout changes, custom cabinets, or premium appliances push Sterling projects into the $90K+ range.
Six weeks — really?
Yes, when everything is ordered before demolition starts. Same-layout remodels are the fastest category of kitchen project. The schedule risk isn’t construction — it’s material lead times, which is why we don’t swing a hammer until cabinets have a confirmed ship date.
