Frequently Asked Questions
What was the Investment Range of this Kitchen Remodel?
This project was completed in 2022 for approximately $57,000 – $63,000. Based on current labor, material, permitting, and market conditions, a similar project in 2027 would typically fall between $80,000 – $88,000.
The investment range provided is intended as a historical reference. Similar projects completed in the future may differ based on design complexity, material selections, local market conditions, permitting requirements, and construction costs at that time.
The investment shown for this project does not include the cabinets, as they were purchased separately by the homeowner, adding approximately $75,000 to the ranges.
How long did this Kitchen Remodel project take?
The construction phase took approximately two to three months.
Homeowners considering a similar project should understand that timelines can vary significantly based on scope, permitting requirements, engineering needs, custom product lead times, and overall market conditions at the time of construction.
Were there any construction challenges that affected the Kitchen Remodel project?
One aspect of this project that we are particularly proud of is that we returned years later to replace the flooring when concerns arose about its long-term performance.
While the project was beyond the typical warranty period, we believe that taking care of our customers extends beyond contractual obligations.
Maintaining trust and long-term relationships has always been an important part of how we do business.
What were the decisions that contributed to the success of this Kitchen Remodel project?
The homeowners were struggling with a dated, cramped kitchen that no longer met their needs.
Their primary goal was to create a more open and spacious layout that would better connect with the surrounding living areas.
To achieve this, a large section of the wall between the kitchen and living room was removed, requiring the installation of a substantial structural beam to support the home while opening up the space.
The result was a brighter, more functional kitchen with improved flow for everyday living and entertaining.


We first worked with our clients to create schematics so they could visualize the final kitchen. The design work, cabinetry, and countertops were provided by Elm Home Design, an interior design studio in Lynchburg, Va.


Now it was time for the actual construction to take place. Here are a few of the more dramatic images that allow you to see the ideas for this Kitchen going through its transformations. Here we are showing the demolition and then the wall has been removed and temporarily shored up prior to the installation of a large LVL beam. In the third image you see the beam in place and all supports removed. The idea was to brighten up the whole room while you can also see the new window that was installed. The fourth image shows the cabinetry and trim being installed.




The island and main countertops are bright with a solid color to make the backsplash pop.
The idea here shows so much contrast between the solid farm house sink matched with the under counter lighting, which is a standard feature in many of our remodeled kitchens.
Now you can see all the way into the living room, in the foreground is the island cabinets in a different color, and the background is the peninsula which now divides the kitchen and living rooms.
You can see how our clients will enjoy a morning breakfast or meal to end their day. The idea behind this Kitchen Remodel came out fabulous and we are so happy to have been a part of our client’s kitchen remodeling dreams.
