Kitchen and bath remodeling in Fairfax City, VA

Remodeling in the City of Fairfax

Much of the City of Fairfax was built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s: brick ramblers, split-levels and colonials in neighborhoods like Fairchester, Mosby Woods and Country Club Hills. Many still have their original kitchen layout and a hall bath that has never been fully redone.

The most common projects here are opening a closed-off kitchen to the dining or family room, replacing a 1960s hall bath, and turning a tub nobody uses into a walk-in shower.
