Kitchen Remodeling in the DC Metro Area

By Managed Renovations

Update the Hardest Working Room in Your Home

The kitchen does more than any other room in the house. It's breakfast before school, homework at the counter, and the spot every guest drifts toward, no matter how nice the rest of your home is.

When it's cramped, dated, or just working against you, the whole rhythm of home feels a little off.

Managed Renovations designs and builds kitchens in the DC Metro area that fit the way your household moves. We'll personally guide the work from the first measurement to the final cleanup. You end up with a space that looks beautiful and earns its keep every single day.

Remodeling Older DC Area Kitchens

Many of the homes we remodel were built decades ago, some more than a century back, and that history is a big part of their charm. It's also where the surprises like to hide.

Behind the plaster and the original cabinets, older Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and DC kitchens often conceal outdated wiring, tired plumbing, and layouts designed for a completely different era.

We've spent years working in exactly these houses, from matching original trim profiles to bringing everything up to modern code.

That experience means fewer mid-project shocks for you, and a finished kitchen that honors the character of your home while running like a brand-new one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodels in the DC Metro Area

 

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the DC area?expand_more
Most kitchen remodels in the Bethesda and Chevy Chase area run between $50,000 and $200,000, depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout changes. For a full breakdown of what drives the number, see our Remodeling Cost Guide. We'll always give you a clear, honest range before any work begins.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?expand_more
Construction usually takes six to sixteen weeks once design and ordering are done. Adding permits, custom cabinetry, or structural changes can stretch the full project to four to seven months from first conversation to final reveal, so we map out a realistic timeline up front. 
Do you provide kitchen design services?expand_more
Yes, and we do it a little differently. When your project needs formal design or architectural plans, we connect you with our trusted independent designer, who works with you directly so you're not paying a contractor's markup on design. 
Can you remodel a kitchen in an older or historic home?expand_more
Absolutely, it's one of our specialties. We've restored kitchens in century-old homes, matching original details while updating the wiring, plumbing, and layout to today's standards. 
Can I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel?expand_more
In most cases, yes. We set up dust control, keep the work zone contained, and plan the sequence so your household can keep functioning, though many clients arrange a temporary kitchen setup for the busiest stretch.

Our Process

1 | Consultation
Everything starts with a conversation, usually right in your home. Michael walks the space with you, listens to what you're hoping to change, and gets a real feel for how you live. It's also where we make sure we're the right fit for each other, because the best projects are built on mutual trust. You'll leave that first meeting with clarity, not a hard sell. 
2 | Design & Planning
Once we understand your goals, we map out the scope, budget, and direction together. When your project needs architectural plans, we connect you with our trusted independent architect, who works with you directly. You stay in control of the selections and the big decisions at every step. The result is a plan that fits your home, your taste, and your budget before a single wall comes down.
3 | Construction
This is where the transformation happens, and where Michael stays personally involved. We schedule, manage, and inspect the work ourselves, coordinating vetted licensed subcontractors and keeping you in the loop the whole way through. You'll always know what's happening and what's coming next. When we're done, it should feel less like a renovation and more like the home you always pictured.

What Our Clients Think

"When doing a big renovation in a 100+ year old house, surprises happen. Working with Michael and Natalie always brought us a level of calm and peace that the surprises would be dealt with, that the quality would be first rate, and that there was always an eye towards finding the best value in the solution."

Chuck W.
Whole Home Remodel

"Michael Shannon, Natalie, and all of the crew are consummate professionals: considerate, trustworthy, very skilled, kind, highly communicative, and timely. helpful, and worth every penny, which was very reasonable too. They redid my small powder room, and I trusted them to finish the job while out of town. When I returned, it was completed and looked even better than I had imagined. Every detail was skillfully executed, and their suggestions were on point too. I am very pleased with the entire experience and recommend them as an outstanding company with the best reputation. I will definitely use them again if I can get on their schedule!!"

Piper M.
Bathroom Remodel

"Michael and team did a superb renovation job. The work was completed under tight timelines and Michael is an expert in setting clear and realistic expectations and delivering on them. All the team were highly responsive. We feel that we got what we wanted whereas with most contractors you barely get what you pay for. The quality of the work was consistently high. An added bonus is that they were polite, respectful, and enjoyable to work with."

Benjamin W.
Remodel

"Michael and Managed Renovations helped us with renovating a new house in Colonial Village. The work included a new kitchen, new master bath and closet, and various upgrades throughout the house. Michael cared that the work would be done right — probably even more than we did! Michael consistently showed an attention to detail that went far beyond any of the other contractors we've worked with before. As a result of Michael's suggestions, we've got significantly more space than we expected. Michael's creativity was an added bonus."
