What Near West End Kitchens Typically Need

Mid-Century Kitchens Ready for Updates

Many Westhampton-area homes kept their original kitchens for decades. Cabinets from the 1940s through the 1960s are often solid but dated. Cabinet refacing updates the look. Full replacement makes sense when the layout must change.

Layout Tweaks Without Moving Walls

Not every update needs demolition. Peninsula additions and pantry walls add function inside the existing footprint.

Cabinetry and paint work needs no Richmond building permit. Moved plumbing, new circuits, or gas changes do need separate trade permits.

The City/County Line

ZIP 23226 crosses from Richmond city into Henrico County. The city portion uses Richmond permits and city utilities.

The county portion falls under Henrico County Building Inspection instead. Tell your provider which side of the line you are on before planning.

Also Serving Colonial Place (West End Richmond)

If you searched for kitchen remodeling Colonial Place, this section is for you. Colonial Place is a small West End Richmond neighborhood inside the City of Richmond. City utilities serve it: Dominion Energy (electric), Richmond Gas Works (gas), and Richmond DPU (water and sewer).

Kitchen permits go through the Bureau of Permits and Inspections at 900 E Broad St. The same nine kitchen services listed below are available in Colonial Place.

Example: Updating a 1946 Kitchen Off Patterson Ave

The example below is illustrative, not a real completed job.

You own a post-war brick home with its original galley kitchen and an aging gas range. The layout still works, but the finishes are tired. This is the classic Westhampton story.

An independent provider typically refaces or replaces the cabinets and relocates the gas line for the new range. New gas line work needs a licensed pro and a separate Richmond trade permit. Virginia's 2021 Residential Code bars cooking appliances listed only for commercial use.

The new range must be domestic-listed or dual-labeled. Quartz counters finish the update.

Refacing takes 3 to 5 days, while a full remodel runs 4 to 8 weeks. Richmond projects typically cost $14,000 to $42,000. Before you call, check whether the gas line needs extending to the new range location.
