Kitchen Remodeling in McLean, VA

Kitchen remodeling at Boss Design Center ranges from $80,000 to $250,000. Your specific investment depends on the size of your kitchen, the materials you select, the extent of any structural changes needed, and the level of customization you want. During your free initial consultation, we discuss your budget openly and design within your financial parameters from the start.

The design phase takes 1-2 months and includes your consultation, 3D renderings, revisions, and material selection in our showroom. Pre-construction planning and permitting adds another 4-6 weeks. Construction itself runs 3-4 months. In total, plan for approximately 6-8 months from your first consultation to a finished kitchen.

Every kitchen remodel includes layout redesign, custom cabinetry, countertops, lighting, flooring, appliance installation, all permits, and photorealistic 3D renderings. We also handle full project management, weekly construction meetings, real-time updates through our online system, and daily site cleanup. Every material is selected before construction begins.

A fixed-rate contract means the price we quote is the price you pay. Period. Many contractors use allowances: placeholder amounts for items “to be selected later” that often result in unexpected costs midway through a project. We reject that approach entirely. At Boss Design Center, every detail is finalized during the design phase so the contract reflects the true total cost before construction starts.

Yes. This is one of the most important aspects of how we work. The designer you meet at your first consultation stays involved through your entire project, from concept development through final walkthrough. There are no handoffs to a separate salesperson, designer, or project manager. You develop one relationship, and that person remains invested in your project the whole way through.

Yes. We obtain and manage all permits required for your project: building, electrical, plumbing, and any others. McLean falls under Fairfax County jurisdiction, and we’re familiar with local permitting requirements. You don’t need to do anything related to permitting; we handle the applications, fees, inspections, and coordination with the building department.

Most clients do stay in their homes during kitchen remodeling. Our crew implements protection measures for unaffected areas and maintains daily cleanup throughout construction. We’ll walk you through what to expect at your consultation, including which phases are most disruptive, so you can plan accordingly.

That’s completely fine. Many of our best projects start with clients who aren’t sure what they want. We start by exploring your needs and preferences through conversation and inspiration images. When you show us a photo, we ask what specifically appeals to you: a color, a layout, a feeling. Those answers guide the entire design process. You don’t need to come in with a plan.

We source 99% of materials for every project, and major items like cabinetry and flooring must come through us. This is a requirement of our design-build model. It ensures design cohesion, quality control, and warranty protection. In rare cases (less than 1% of situations), we may allow clients to source specific small items when there is a compelling reason.

Yes. We serve all of Bethesda and the surrounding Montgomery County area, including North Bethesda, Rockville, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, and Kensington. Our Bethesda showroom is available by appointment for material selection and design consultations, making it easy to work with us locally throughout the process.
