Kitchen Remodels Built for How Richmond Cooks.
Every VIVO kitchen remodel uses custom or semi-custom cabinetry sized to your exact space.
Big box stock cabinets save money up front but waste space and lock you into standard sizes. We do not compromise on the most visible part of your home.
Older Richmond homes were never designed for the way modern families cook and entertain.
We have opened up enough walls in Fan and Museum District kitchens to know which are load-bearing and how to reroute plumbing, gas, and electrical cleanly.
Quartzite that does not stain. Tile that ages well. Hardware that does not corrode in Virginia humidity.
Every material we spec for a Richmond kitchen is chosen to look as good in 10 years as it does on installation day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodels in Richmond, VA
Yes. A large portion of our kitchen remodel work is in older Richmond homes including 1920s and 1930s properties in The Fan, Museum District, Church Hill, and Bellevue. Older Richmond kitchens often need plumbing, electrical, and structural updates as part of the remodel. We handle all of it with our own team.
In most cases, yes. Many Richmond homeowners want to open up a closed-off kitchen to the dining or living room. The first step is determining whether the wall is load-bearing. Our licensed structural engineer evaluates every wall removal before we touch it, and we install proper beams and headers when needed.
We build open concept kitchen remodels, full kitchen renovations, galley kitchen rebuilds, kitchen and dining combinations, and custom island additions. We also handle smaller cosmetic kitchen remodels for homeowners not ready for full demolition.
Every VIVO kitchen remodel uses custom or semi-custom cabinetry sized to your exact space. Stock cabinets from big box stores waste space and lock you into standard sizes. Custom cabinetry is the single biggest difference between a luxury kitchen remodel and a budget one.
No. A full kitchen remodel takes the kitchen completely out of service for the duration of the build. We help you set up a temporary kitchen space in another room, usually with a microwave, fridge, and basic prep area. Most Richmond clients plan ahead with meal prep, restaurants, and family help.
Most kitchen remodels in Richmond run 8 to 14 weeks from contract signing to final walkthrough. Full structural remodels with wall removal, plumbing relocations, and custom cabinetry can extend to 16 to 20 weeks. Permit timelines and material lead times are built into every schedule we provide.
Older Richmond kitchens often hide outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, or undersized circuits. We include a contingency in every kitchen remodel proposal specifically for unforeseen conditions. Anything we discover is documented with photos and a clear cost impact before any change order is approved.
Yes. Most kitchen remodels in Richmond require electrical and plumbing permits at minimum. Remodels involving wall removal, structural changes, or mechanical relocations require a full building permit. We handle every permit, every inspection, and every conversation with the City of Richmond or surrounding county permit offices.
