Kitchens are the most permit-dense room in the house per square foot. We are a licensed contractor in Virginia (Class A #2705183185) — we pull the permits through Fairfax County Land Development Services, coordinate the licensed trades, and hand you a written line-item scope before demolition starts.
A kitchen that keeps its existing layout may only need electrical and plumbing permits. Move a sink, a gas line or a wall and a building permit joins them. Kitchens also carry requirements specific to the room — GFCI protection at the counters and dedicated small-appliance circuits — which is why the rough-in inspection has to pass before anything gets closed up.
Your Fairfax permit goes through Fairfax County Land Development Services. We pull it under our license and we hold the inspection schedule — you do not chase inspectors and you do not sign the application.
This one catches people out: the City of Fairfax is an independent city with its own permit office, but a great many “Fairfax” mailing addresses are actually in Fairfax County and go through Land Development Services instead. Which one you are in decides where the permit goes and who inspects the work, so we confirm it before anything is filed.
The area runs from 1950s–1970s ramblers and colonials near the city core to newer subdivisions further out. On the original houses, additions and kitchen expansions are the common projects, and lot coverage is usually the first constraint worth checking.

Most Fairfax projects land in the $28k – $120k range. That is a planning range for Fairfax County, not a quote — your written price comes after a free on-site walkthrough.
Yes. The walkthrough and the written scope are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. There is no design fee and no consultation invoice.
Plan on the sink and range being out for most of the project. We stage the work so demolition, rough-in and inspection happen back to back rather than with gaps, and we give you the realistic date at the walkthrough — not the optimistic one.
