Planning a kitchen remodel in Arlington, VA? Prime Custom has completed 300+ kitchen and bath projects across Northern Virginia, and our Arlington showroom (2902 N Sycamore St) is right in the neighborhood, off Lee Highway near Westover. From semi-custom cabinet refreshes to full open-concept renovations, our in-house designers and craftsmen handle everything under one contract — design, permits, and construction.
Arlington Homes: What We See Most Often
Arlington kitchens come in two flavors. The county’s 1930s–1940s brick colonials and Cape Cods in Lyon Village, Ashton Heights, and Cherrydale have charming but tight galley kitchens — our most common projects there are opening load-bearing walls, small rear bump-outs, and squeezing every inch from smart cabinetry. Then there are Ballston and Rosslyn corridor condos, where remodels mean working within building rules: condo board approvals, service-elevator logistics, and quiet-hours scheduling. We run both kinds of projects constantly and price them differently.
