Kitchen & Bath Remodeling in Alexandria, VA
Alexandria rewards remodelers who respect it. The city’s housing runs from 18th- and 19th-century rowhouses in and around Old Town to post-war brick colonials in Del Ray and Rosemont and glassy new condominiums near the waterfront and Metro. We bring our kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling practice to all of it — with a particular appreciation for projects where historic character and modern function have to coexist.
Kitchens in Alexandria
Modern kitchens inside historic shells
An Old Town rowhouse kitchen is a lesson in constraints: narrow party-wall widths, original masonry you do not want to disturb, floor structures that have settled into personality, and in designated historic districts, review requirements for anything that touches the exterior. The craft lies in designing within those limits — galley and single-wall layouts that cook seriously, cabinetry scaled to lower ceilings and original openings, and materials that converse with heart-pine floors and painted brick rather than fighting them.
In Del Ray, Rosemont, and the city’s post-war neighborhoods, the brief shifts: compartmentalized mid-century kitchens want openings to dining rooms, better light, and storage that reaches the ceiling. And in Alexandria’s newer condominiums, the work looks much like our condo kitchen remodeling practice in Arlington — association approvals, logistics, and plumbing stacks planned before design is finalized.
Bathrooms in Alexandria
Bathrooms that earn their place in an old house
Historic Alexandria homes rarely came with generous bathrooms — many were added decades after the house was built, wherever a closet could be sacrificed. We rebuild these rooms from the inside out: updating the plumbing that decades of patchwork left behind, leveling settled floors before tile goes down, and adding the ventilation old masonry houses desperately need. The finish work then honors the house — classic proportions, period-appropriate profiles, and modern waterproofing invisibly underneath.
For primary suites in larger colonials, the conversation is often about reconfiguration: borrowing from an adjacent room to create a true suite with a walk-in shower and double vanity, designed so the addition feels original to the home.
