Looking for kitchen remodeling in Arlington, 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 compact condo galleys near Ballston to full gut renovations in Arlington’s older Colonials, we design kitchens that fit how Arlington actually lives.
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Arlington
Arlington’s housing stock is a mix of 1940s-50s brick Cape Cods and Colonials in neighborhoods like Lyon Village, Ashton Heights, and Cherrydale, plus high-rise condos and townhomes along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Each comes with its own challenges: closed-off floor plans, dated wiring, and kitchens sized for a different era. We handle all of it.
What We Build
- Custom cabinets built and finished by our in-house carpenters, sized for tight condo footprints or generous suburban kitchens 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 galley kitchens to dining and living areas common in older Arlington homes
- Lighting design with recessed cans, under-cabinet LEDs, and pendant fixtures
Why Choose BAC in Arlington
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 Arlington condos where building management and elevator reservations leave no room for delays.

- Design and quote with clear scope, materials, and a fixed price

- Final walkthrough and warranty coverage
What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Arlington
Most kitchen remodels in Arlington 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.
Arlington’s housing mix shapes the number too. An older Colonial or Cape often needs updated wiring or a wall removed to open a cramped galley, while a Rosslyn-Ballston 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.
Many Arlington homeowners remodel more than one room at a time. If a kitchen project has you rethinking the rest of the house, we also handle bathroom remodeling in Arlington and basement remodeling in Arlington.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Arlington, VA?
Most Arlington 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 Arlington?
Usually, yes. Most Arlington kitchen remodels that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural work require permits from Arlington County, 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 open my kitchen to the living room?
Often, yes. Many older Arlington Colonials and Capes were built with closed-off galley 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.
Do you remodel condo kitchens in Arlington?
Yes. We remodel condo and high-rise kitchens throughout the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and beyond. 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.
