Expert Kitchen Remodeling
in McLean, VA

Larger kitchens require more cabinetry, longer countertop runs, additional lighting circuits, and often secondary prep areas. We provide square-foot and line-item breakdowns in proposals.

We accompany clients to slab yards where imported quartzite, exotic granite, and premium marble are available for hand-selection. You choose the exact slab that gets installed.

Bookmatching cuts adjacent slabs and opens them like a book so veining mirrors across the seam. This creates a dramatic symmetrical pattern, especially effective on large islands.

Waterfall edges wrap countertop material down the sides of an island or cabinet to the floor. This showcases stone veining vertically and creates a modern, sculptural look.

Butler's pantries serve as staging areas between kitchen and dining room. They hold glassware, serving pieces, and bar supplies, with sinks and counters for plating during parties.

Makeup air systems bring fresh air into the home to replace what powerful exhaust hoods remove. Building codes require them when exhaust exceeds certain CFM thresholds to prevent negative pressure.

Dishwasher drawers run smaller loads independently, conserving water and energy. Two drawers stacked equal standard capacity but offer flexibility. Single drawers suit butler's pantries or bar areas.

Higher quality cabinets use plywood boxes, dovetail drawer joints, soft-close hinges, and full-extension slides. Face frame construction with solid wood stiles and rails adds durability.

Projects begin with a site visit to measure, photograph, and discuss your cooking style, entertaining needs, and material preferences. We then develop concepts and present a detailed written scope.
