Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Alexandria

GBC handles every type of Alexandria kitchen project, from a focused cabinet upgrade to a full structural renovation. Whatever the scope, the same in-house team manages design, demolition, installation, and finish work.

Full Kitchen Gut Renovations

Taking your kitchen down to the studs to rebuild layout, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, and finishes. Ideal for older Alexandria homes that need more than a surface update — especially mid-century houses with closed-off kitchens that today’s families want opened up.

Cabinet Replacement & Refacing

New stock, semi-custom, or custom cabinetry from premium lines, or cost-saving refacing when your existing cabinet boxes are still structurally sound. We help you weigh the two based on your kitchen’s condition and your budget.

Countertop Installation

Quartz, granite, quartzite, and marble countertops, templated and installed by our own team for a precise fit — including the tight tolerances common in Old Town’s older, out-of-square spaces.

Kitchen Layout Changes

Opening walls, relocating sinks and appliances, and reworking the footprint to fit how Alexandria families actually cook and gather. We handle the structural and permitting side end to end.

Kitchen Island Installation

Adding storage, seating, and prep space with a custom island sized to your kitchen and your workflow — a popular upgrade in Kingstowne and Cameron Station’s larger open kitchens.

Lighting, Flooring & Finishes

Recessed and under-cabinet lighting, durable flooring, tile backsplashes, and hardware — the details that make an Alexandria kitchen feel finished and cohesive.

Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Alexandria, VA

A mid-range kitchen remodel in Alexandria typically costs $60,000–$90,000 in 2026, with cosmetic refreshes starting around $25,000 and high-end renovations exceeding $150,000. Alexandria’s older housing stock — and Old Town’s historic-district requirements — can move a project toward the upper end of its range.

Project Tier	Typical Alexandria Cost (2026)	Scope
Cosmetic Refresh	$25,000 – $45,000	Refacing/stock cabinets, new counters, fixtures, paint — no layout change
Mid-Range Remodel	$60,000 – $90,000	New semi-custom cabinets, stone counters, appliances, flooring, minor layout updates
High-End / Full Gut	$90,000 – $150,000+	Custom cabinetry, structural/layout changes, premium stone, full rewire

Small and condo kitchens — common in Old Town and Del Ray — typically run $25,000–$50,000 depending on materials. These are typical Northern Virginia market ranges, not fixed quotes; your exact price depends on cabinetry, materials, and layout.

Popular Kitchen Styles in Alexandria

Alexandria’s housing is unusually varied, and the right kitchen style follows the home. Our designers tailor each project to its neighborhood and era:

• Old Town traditional & historic. Federal and Victorian rowhomes call for classic shaker cabinetry, marble or honed quartz, and period-sensitive details that respect the home’s character.
• Del Ray transitional. The “Main Street” bungalows of Del Ray suit transitional kitchens — clean lines with warm, timeless materials.
• Kingstowne & Cameron Station modern. Newer construction supports open-concept layouts, large islands, and contemporary finishes.
• Condo & small-space efficiency. In Old Town and Eisenhower East condos, we maximize storage and function in compact footprints.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Alexandria

Our Alexandria showroom on General Washington Drive is central to every Alexandria neighborhood. We regularly remodel kitchens in:

• Old Town — historic rowhomes and condos near the waterfront.
• Del Ray — bungalows and cottages along the Mount Vernon Avenue corridor.
• Kingstowne — single-family homes and townhouses in the planned community.
• Franconia & Rose Hill — established West End neighborhoods.
• Beverley Hills & Seminary Hill — mid-century and traditional homes near the city’s center.
• Cameron Station — newer homes with open layouts.
• Eisenhower East — modern high-rise and townhome kitchens.

…plus the wider Northern Virginia area.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process

Every GBC kitchen remodel follows the same clear, five-step process — so you always know what’s happening next.

1. Free design consultation at our Alexandria showroom, where we scope your project and lock a realistic budget.
2. 3D design & material selection — see your kitchen and compare real cabinetry and stone before anything is ordered.
3. Fixed-scope proposal & permitting — we handle City of Alexandria permits, inspections, and any Board of Architectural Review steps.
4. In-house installation — demolition through finish carpentry, all by our own team, with a single project lead.
5. Final walkthrough & 3-year warranty — we don’t consider it done until you do.

A typical Alexandria kitchen remodel takes 6–12 weeks on site, depending on scope.

Alexandria-Specific Considerations

Remodeling a kitchen in Alexandria comes with a few local realities worth planning for:

• Old Town historic district. Exterior changes in Old Town may require Board of Architectural Review approval; interior kitchen work generally does not, but it pays to confirm early. We manage this process for you.
• City of Alexandria permits. The city requires permits for electrical, plumbing, gas, and structural work — separate from Fairfax County’s process. GBC pulls these and schedules the inspections.
• Older housing stock. Many Alexandria homes date to the early-to-mid 20th century and can hide outdated knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, or plaster walls behind the finishes. A 15–20% contingency is smart.
• Tight access & parking. Old Town and Del Ray’s narrow streets and limited parking call for careful delivery and staging planning — something a local, experienced team handles routinely.

Why a Local Alexandria Showroom Matters

Choosing a remodeler with a real Alexandria showroom changes the experience. You can touch the cabinetry, compare quartz against quartzite in person, and sit down with a designer who knows the City of Alexandria’s permitting and the quirks of local housing. It also means your project team is nearby throughout the build — not dispatched from another market. Visit us at 5601 General Washington Dr, Unit H.
