Whole House Remodeling

Open Floorplan

Reston, VA

Project Overview

Transforming a Northern Virginia Home for Family Living and Entertaining

These Reston homeowners loved their neighborhood and wanted a home that truly reflected their style while offering a functional layout for both family life and entertaining. With high school-aged children, they also wanted spaces where their kids could enjoy time with friends.

Open Concept Main-Level Remodel

The main level of the home underwent a whole home remodel in Northern Virginia to create an open, inviting layout. Walls between the kitchen, dining room, formal living room, and family room were removed, allowing for seamless conversation and flow between spaces. Hardwood floors were installed throughout the main level, providing a cohesive and elegant foundation. The remodeled luxury kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium countertops, and high-end appliances that blend both style and functionality, perfect for family meals and hosting gatherings.

Upgraded Primary and Hall Bathrooms

Upstairs, the primary bathroom remodel was thoughtfully reconfigured to improve flow and accessibility. Pocket doors and cased openings were added to the primary closets, enhancing convenience and functionality. The hall bath was also updated with modern fixtures, elegant tile, and a cohesive color palette, completing the home’s refined aesthetic. This upscale bathroom remodel in Northern Virginia combines style, comfort, and practicality.

Basement Retreat for Kids

The basement was transformed into a finished basement in Northern Virginia specifically designed for the children. It includes a TV lounge, a beverage center, and a gaming room—an ideal space for entertaining friends and enjoying downtime. This area provides a private retreat while maintaining the home’s luxurious feel.

Personalized Design-Build Experience

This project showcases the expertise of a design-build remodeling firm in Northern Virginia, blending functionality, style, and family-friendly living. Every detail, from finishes to flow, was carefully considered to create a high-end home renovation that meets the family’s needs and enhances their lifestyle.

Testimonials

 

 

We were thrilled with the work performed by Sun Design. We had used a different contractor to build a porch and it was an awful experience with long delays, so we were cautious. The Sun Design team listened to all our needs, presented multiple options to meet those needs at different price points, and delivered on time and on budget for our first floor renovation. They are exceptional at communicating with their clients on what to expect during each stage of the journey and carry our strongest recommendation.

10/10 would highly recommend Sun Design. We found our kitchen layout was too small and wasn't working for us. We told Sun Design what our issues were and what was important to us, and their amazing design team created the kitchen of our dreams. It turned into a whole first floor transformation, moving kitchen, dining room, and living room around to a configuration that worked best for us.

I am a HUGE fan of Sun Design! The first time that we worked with them was over 15 years ago. We were ready to have a deck built, but not just any deck, and of course, Jeremy was the designer at that time and I remember how he went about designing it so that it looked like "part of the house" - It is beautiful. We recently refurbished it, and it looks absolutely beautiful!

Sun Design transformed our "cookie cutter" house into a spectacular, unique home. Working with Ericka was a delight - her confidence and fun personality made the process enjoyable. Ours was a complete remodel - kitchen, family room, powder room, upstairs bathrooms, and some primary bedroom work. We loved working with Sun Design so much that we will be working with them again in the future when we are ready for an addition that will add a garage and in-law suite. Highly recommend!

SunDesign came up with a creative design for our screened-in porch that beautifully fits into our existing landscape. Project was executed on budget and their craftsmanship is superb. Their responsiveness to a warranty issue we had with the door was immediately addressed. We highly recommend SunDesign — their teams are awesome to work with.

We had a fairly big project to build out part of our house. Sun Design has done a phenomenal job so far. We are getting close to complete. The design process was very collaborative and the execution of the build has gone well so far. Every part of the experience has been top quality and the team we are working with is amazing. The team is expensive but they are able to walk you through where every cent goes and why and they will look at different options to try to help reduce cost. They are well worth every penny. I would want to use Sun Design for any future projects and I highly recommend them.

Sun Design handled the renovation of our large basement several years ago. We finished our laundry room and added two walls of built in cabinets, reconfigured a storage room and run-down kitchen into a guest room and sitting area, and finished a large rec room. Everything was redone - the floors, walls, ceilings, electrical work, etc. Sun Design did a terrific job - the rooms look wonderful. Our house was built in 1962 and we had a number of glitches along the way. But Sun Design made sure that, at the end, everything looked and worked properly. I highly recommend them.

I have been working with Sun Design for over 15 years. They are a great company to work with, very friendly and professional staff. They are very clean, responsive, respectful of your property and I have nothing but the great things to say about Sun Design.

This review is to introduce you to Sun Design services and to recommend them for your next project. We used Sun Design for a deck – sunroom redesign, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Sun Design is easy to work with, thinks creatively, and effectively communicates ideas to enhance projects, and thus Sun Design has my highest endorsement. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They truly care about every aspect of the projects they do. They arrive on time and leave the place spotless when the work has been completed.
