The Story
What the homeowners started with
A kitchen typical of many Vienna homes built in the 1980s and 90s: serviceable, but closed off from the living space, with dated cabinetry and lighting that made the room feel smaller than it was.
That timeline held because selections were locked before demolition, and because the permit path through the Town of Vienna was mapped before the first cabinet was ordered. In a town where a project can fall under two different jurisdictions, knowing which office you are in is part of the schedule.
The goal wasn’t just a cosmetic refresh. The homeowners wanted the kitchen to become the center of the house, more storage, more counter space, and a finish level that matched the rest of the home’s value.
Custom cabinetry detail
What we changed, and one honest tradeoff
This was a full gut: new custom white cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz surfaces, an island built for seating, brass hardware and fixtures, and a lighting plan with layered recessed and pendant light. Design was locked in 3D before demolition, so there were no mid-build surprises.
The honest tradeoff: worth knowing: a remodel at this level means the kitchen is out of commission for most of the build. We tell every client to plan a temporary kitchen setup for six to eight weeks, it matters more to daily life than most people expect.

Where This Project Is

Fairfax County. Served from our Sterling, VA design studio. Exact address withheld for the homeowner’s privacy.
Inside the Town of Vienna, projects like this run through the Town’s own permit office rather than Fairfax County’s, a distinction we plan for from day one.
Questions Vienna Homeowners Ask
What does a kitchen remodel like this cost in Vienna?
This project landed in the $100K, $120K range. The three things that move the number most are cabinetry level (semi-custom vs. full custom), whether the layout changes, and appliance selections. A same-layout remodel with semi-custom cabinets can come in well under this; moving walls or plumbing pushes it up.
How long is the kitchen actually unusable?
Construction ran about nine weeks, and the kitchen was out of service for most of it. We help clients set up a temporary kitchen before demolition day, it’s the single best piece of preparation advice we give.
Do kitchen remodels in Vienna require permits?
Yes, Fairfax County requires permits for the electrical and plumbing work involved in a remodel like this one. EA handles the permit process and inspections; it’s built into the timeline, not an extra.
