One popular destination is the Historical Falls Church, which was founded back in 1734. Notables like George Washington attended this church back in the 18th century. The church got its name for its location being near the falls of the Potomac River.

Local Homeowner Guts Kitchen for a Reboot in Design

Getting the kitchen of your dreams sometimes takes more hard work than originally anticipated. After meeting with our professionals, one homeowner in Church Falls decided that a simple kitchen remodel was out of the question. We came to her property to determine what type of work would be needed to achieve the look she was going for. In our assessments, we found that the floorboards beneath were a bit weak and the counters and cabinets were rotting away.

There was extensive water damage that occurred years before she moved in and it was really starting to show. The best option was to gut everything out and start anew. The upside to this was that she was able to transform the kitchen with a design that appealed to her and suited her growing family needs.
At Fairfax Kitchen and Bath, we offer package deals for kitchen remodels, which include granite countertops, cabinets, sink and faucet, demolition, installation, tile floor, full height glass or granite backsplash and appliance hookup. There are three different packages available, allowing you to select how extensive of a remodel you want. This client decided to go with the deluxe, which included everything.

Starting from Scratch was Necessary

After looking over the kitchen and examining the floor boards beneath, the pipework and cabinetry, we gave the homeowner, Alex, our analysis and estimate. We showed him the flaws that needed correcting for both cosmetic and structural reasons. No pipework was needed, since the kitchen had already been outfitted with new pipes after the rupture that caused flooding and water damage.

Once the project was complete, Alex and his girlfriend were pleased with the outcome. The transformation was really astounding. The new tile floors, the gorgeous granite counters and backsplash all breathed life into the kitchen. The couple were strongly debating on whether to give up on the home or try to fix it up. With our experience and package deals, they were able to save time and money on the hassles of selling a home or fixing it up themselves. They later hired us to complete their master and guest bathrooms remodel.

The Project Time Frame

Demolition of a kitchen is always a lot of work, but with our crew, this is done seamlessly. The entire process of gutting the kitchen took about one week, and then the flooring was redone completely within another few days. Next was the cabinetry and the countertops. Our professionals cut the granite stone they chose, which matched the backsplash they decided to implement around the kitchen.

Altogether, the kitchen was completed within three weeks. The couple made a mini kitchen in the dining room with a small fridge and a hot plate and microwave to make quick meals. They were really flexible, which helped us get our work done faster.

The Materials Used

At Fairfax Kitchen and Bath, we offer a great selection of materials that can be used for countertops, backsplashes and floors. Alex and his girlfriend went with Sandscape granite made by Cambria, but we offer an assortment of other colors from other brands like Caesarstone and Silestone.
For the tile floors, marble was chosen, adding elegance to the cooking space. It was a dark colored variety, which beautifully contrasted the sandy color of the counters and backsplash. We also offer quartz stone as an additional option for counters and backsplashes can be made with granite or glass.
