Kitchen Renovation
JDBG recently renovated an entire condo in Fairfax, Virginia. The condo was built in 1996 and still had its original kitchen and bathrooms intact. The layout of the kitchen was practical, but the stock cabinetry and laminate counters were dated, worn and lacked functionality. With our top-to-bottom renovation, we upgraded the quality of the materials and elevated the design to align with our clients’ more contemporary tastes.
In the kitchen, new Shaker style cabinets in a soft gray finish are complemented by quartz countertops with subtle Calacatta Gold veining. We increased functionality by using full overlay cabinets with soft-close doors and full-extension dove-tailed drawers; we added useful accessories such as roll-outs, tray dividers and a trash/recycling center. The new stainless steel sink is a stylish upgrade from the old enameled drop-in sink and the full height textured subway tile is a huge improvement over the old four inch high laminate backsplash. The kitchen pantry received new shelving and the adjacent laundry/utility room even got a facelift with luxury vinyl tile flooring and new paint.
In addition to transforming the kitchen, we completely renovated the two bathrooms and gave new life to the rest of the condo with a fresh coat of paint, new carpeting, and updated light fixtures throughout. The updated palette is both modern and sophisticated and elevates this condo into a welcoming weekend retreat for our clients.
“We are thrilled with our experience with Jordan Design-Build and the final results of a major renovation. Our 25 year old condo in Fairfax was ready for a full renovation in the kitchen and two baths, and a complete update with fresh paint, floors, lighting, ceiling fans and hardware throughout the other rooms.
We met with David Jordan and Shelley, his design director for an initial consultation where they asked lots of questions to understand our desire for the space, our tastes and our ultimate objective. Then Dave and his team went to work developing ideas and and a proposal for our home. A few weeks later, we met again and they presented conceptual ideas, design alternatives, cost estimates and a preliminary plan to transform our home. At this point, it was an easy decision to select them for the project and this was the beginning of a very positive experience with Jordan Design and Build.
Throughout the process Dave and his team were very thorough and customer focused as they guided us through various decisions and all the selections of cabinets, tile, flooring, appliances, lighting, hardware, doors, paint colors, etc. They developed a comprehensive plan for the entire process, meticulous drawings for permitting and construction, and a detailed schedule for all the stages of work and different trades that would be involved. Remarkably, the project took place from February to June 2021 in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, but stayed on schedule and finished on time. And most importantly, Dave and his team managed every aspect of the project and every single detail while keeping us informed every step of the way.
We highly recommend Jordan Design-Build for their customer focused approach, professional guidance on key decisions, attention to the fine details, quality workmanship, and strong communications. Our condominium feels like a completely new home thanks to Dave and his professional team.”
