Sun Design Remodeling Specialists has spent nearly four decades renovating homes across Northern Virginia and the broader Washington region. Operating continuously since 1988, the architectural design-build firm focuses on reshaping homes through changes to light, space and layout while limiting disruption for residents.
The company is headquartered on Burke Centre Parkway in Burke, where clients can review design concepts before construction begins. Its planning tools include 3D renderings and virtual-reality walkthroughs intended to show how a finished project could look.
Sun Design handles both the design and construction phases of a renovation. Its services include kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, extensions, sunrooms, porches, outdoor kitchens, rooftop decks, home theaters and whole-house remodeling.
The firm also provides green-building, universal-design and aging-in-place services. Its designers consider how a household could change over time, including the arrival or departure of family members and the accessibility needs of older residents.
Its staff includes design consultants, CAD designers, specialty designers and craftspeople who guide projects from early concepts through construction. Grace, the company’s director of first impressions, speaks with prospective clients and explains its process. Jeremy, who joined Sun Design in 1995, serves as director of education and development. Administrative assistant Pam coordinates information among departments and welcomes visitors to the Burke office.
Sun Design has received design and workmanship honors from organizations and publications including the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, the Chrysalis Awards, Qualified Remodeler, Professional Remodeler and Remodeling Magazine. It has also been recognized for business leadership by groups and publications including the INC 5000, Washingtonian and Virginia Business.
Client reviews frequently praise the company’s communication, scheduling and workmanship. Homeowners have described projects completed on time and within budget, while repeat customers have reported returning for multiple renovations. Other reviewers have highlighted the staff’s professionalism, responsiveness and care for their property.
Not every assessment is unqualified. Some reviewers have said Sun Design’s prices are substantially higher than those of competing remodelers, placing the company in the premium segment of the regional market.
In addition to its Burke headquarters, Sun Design lists locations in Clifton, McLean and Bethesda. The firm serves homeowners considering projects ranging from individual room renovations to major additions, accessibility upgrades and complete home transformations.
