Many homes, especially 1960s–1990s Colonials and split-levels in neighborhoods like Vienna Woods and Barristers Place, were built with closed galley kitchens that benefit significantly from open-concept remodeling. Our design work aligns with current NKBA trends: statement storage, mixed materials, soft minimalism, white oak and natural neutrals, performance appliances, and wellness-driven design.
A common industry guideline is to budget 5–15% of your home’s value. At Vienna’s typical home value of roughly $1.2 million, that translates to a range of about $60,000–$180,000 for a full remodel with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. Adding a kitchen island typically runs $3,000–$15,000+, depending on size and any additional plumbing or electrical work.
The 2025 Cost vs. Value Report places minor kitchen remodels at approximately 96% return on investment, the highest of any interior remodeling project. The NAR Remodeling Impact Report also gives kitchen remodels a perfect 10 out of 10 homeowner satisfaction score.
Our team also provides full bathroom renovations alongside kitchen projects, and often, homeowners take on these upgrades together. Bundling reduces scheduling overhead, cuts down on permit applications, and produces a more cohesive design across both spaces.
Our bathroom services include:
We are also a certified MILE®stone gauged porcelain panel installer, which lets us build shower walls and backsplashes with virtually no grout lines. That eliminates the staining, re-sealing, and long-term maintenance that comes with traditional tile grids.
A Fairfax County building permit IS required for interior kitchen and bath renovations that involve new or relocated electrical, plumbing, or gas fixtures, the removal or construction of walls, or new window or door openings.
A permit is NOT required for cabinet or countertop replacement, bathroom vanity or countertop replacement, tile or flooring replacement, painting or wallpaper, or a like-for-like replacement of electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work with no change in location.
The Town of Vienna requires additional permitting for certain projects. Most interior kitchen and bath remodels on the main floor or above it, with no exterior changes, do not need the extra permit. However, adding a new kitchen or wet bar does need one, even for interior-only work.
What is a reasonable budget for a kitchen remodel?

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
It depends on the scope. Fairfax County is the building jurisdiction for the Town of Vienna, so the permit goes through Fairfax County Land Development Services via the PLUS portal. Cosmetic updates like painting, cabinet or countertop replacement, tile or flooring replacement, or a like-for-like fixture swap with no change in location generally do not require a permit. Any work involving new or relocated electrical, plumbing, gas, structural, or mechanical changes does. Century handles all permit coordination as part of every project.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most of our kitchen remodels are finished in four to six weeks once installation begins. Materials typically arrive three to four weeks after the deposit is placed, and larger structural or open-concept projects may take longer. The most common delay is cabinet lead time, which we manage by coordinating all orders directly.
Does Century also handle bathroom remodeling in Vienna, VA?
Yes. Century specializes in both kitchen and bath remodeling throughout Fairfax County. Bathroom services include full renovations, master bath remodels, barrier-free (curbless) showers, bathtub-to-shower conversions, and U by Moen smart shower systems.
Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?
$30,000 can deliver a meaningful kitchen refresh: new countertops, updated fixtures and lighting, and refaced or partially replaced cabinetry. What pushes a project past that number is the scope, particularly moving plumbing or gas, removing walls to create an open-concept layout, or specifying full custom cabinetry. A free in-home consultation is the best way to see what a $30,000 budget can realistically cover.
