This is a very responsive firm, which I appreciated most. Whenever I contact them, they responded quickly and the project manager or your designer were always there to take care of the things, even during the weekends. This is a one stop shop, so I saved a great deal of energy by shopping materials at their show room. They have nice supply of materials, if you are not too picky about the design. They work on major things was nicely done, though some correction was needed for small things. They did a detailed job on the shower room, including updating the old pipes when necessary without extra charge. They were always willing to come back to check to make sure I was satisfied whenever there was a problem. They were also very responsible and willing to take care of extra request of small things in the house for free, like patching holes in the wall, changing faucets etc.

DMV is so nice to work with. I am in the construction industry so I had a very good understanding of everything we asked them to do, including the code inspections. Cemmy was our project manager and primary point of contact. DMV was not the only contractor we interviewed, but we selected them based on our initial conversations with Cemmy. He did not treat our project like a cookie cutter, in and out project. Rather, he took the time to understand what we wanted long term, and how we were going to use the space. He offered ideas and solutions that saved us money, and made recommendations when there were better ways to address things. Cemmy was supported by another project manager, Alan, who was also great to work with and provided great input. Cemmy was very responsive and returned our texts, emails, and voicemails immediately. Oftentimes, he would just come out to the house and meet with us. The project went very smoothly from start to finish. They started the project on the committed start date. I think their crews normally start around 7:30-8:00 am each day, but we asked them to start at 8:30 am because our kids walk to school and we wanted them out of the house before work began. They accommodated us with no complaints (thank you!), and in return they worked until about 6:00pm each evening, including Saturdays and some Sunday's. Per our contract with them, they had 8 weeks to complete the project but they finished in 7 weeks because we had an important trip to take. Again, they accommodated us and we are very grateful. The quality of DMV's work is superb in every regard. There were several different crews and foremen involved in our project and they were all very polite, respectful, and professional. Our dog even liked everyone! Despite the major work that was done in our home, they kept the inside of our home very clean. They put plastic down on our carpets, plastic dust barriers at the stairs, and they swept/vacuumed at the end of every day. During demolition, there was a lot of trash and debris, but they did not let it pile up. Trucks came by regularly to pick up demo materials. No complaints ever from our neighbors. The inside and outside of our home was always safe - no nails, sharp objects, tools were left laying around. We plan to use DMV this summer to reconfigure and completely remodel our master bedroom/master bath suite. We can't wait. They are honest and wonderful professionals to work with. We would recommend them to anyone who wants to remodel their home.

DMV remodeled both our kitchen and completely renovated our master bath - all on schedule and at the price quoted. The entire crew was extremely courteous and professional, from the project manager Cemmy, who responded promptly to our questions and always checked in with us with their progress, to Grover who oversaw all the electrical and day-to-day construction work, to the demolition guys, and the paint guys, we couldn't ask for better service. We lived in the house during the construction work and we were incredibly impressed by the extra effort the crew made to clean up and wipe down the dust after each work day, so that we didn't have too much dust around us. These were major renovations so some dust was unavoidable but we were really impressed by the extra lengths they took to protect our floors and furniture during the construction. DMV did beautiful work, they matched the wood floor and granite EXACTLY to the existing materials, and we love the materials they used for the new master bath (Italian ceramic textured tile and Carrara marble vanity).

It went very well. This was the first bathroom overhaul for this house and was much needed, being a standard Pulte home built in 1980. The original shower tile was in such bad shape it was cracked and pulling away from the wall. The crew showed up on time everyday. They pulled out that old tile and wall board and we found considerable mold and very messy situation with the fiberglass insulation. Although not part of the original plan I asked if they could replace the insulation and without any hesitation they dispatched someone to Lowes to buy a fresh roll and in it went.. Another anomaly that occurred was there was a miscommunication on the height where to put the shower control-nozzle.  It was installed very low, and they'd already done all the plumbing work and put in the wall to cover the pipes. Again, a call was made to the DMV project manager who came out and without any big deal they pulled out the new wall, cut and refit all the copper piping and placed the shower control-nozzle at the appropriate height.  They also found a creative way to put in the wall-notch for holding the shampoos and so forth. Because of the way the building wall studs had been run it didn't look like it was going to work, but the guys found a way and it came out great. The crew was hardworking and one could tell they have considerable experience. When I thought about doing much of this myself "to save money," I realize what a big mistake that would have been. There's a reason why one should hire a contractor for jobs like this. Whatever the end result, you need to live with it for a long, long, time. And that being the case I now know I'm going to be happy with this decision for a long, long time. The plan is to turn attention to the master bath, which is also overdue for a renovation and I know it will cost more than this one did. But, at least I know who I am going to hire for the task when the time comes.

I wanted to like DMV as my experience calling to setup an appointment was easy, and the individual I spoke with was quite professional. Unfortunately, on the day of the appointment, no one showed up or called.

During the project, DMV was very responsive and proactively communicated with us about when they would come each week and at what time. We are very pleased with the quality work and attention to detail that they put in to our basement. We are happy to have found a contractor as professional, hard-working, and ethical as DMV and we will definitely be calling them for our next renovation.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by DMV kitchen. They were reasonably-priced, reliable, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They helped with the design and were very patient while I explored different options. They listened to me while offering lots of great ideas and the kitchen reflects that - it is exactly what I wanted and I enjoy being in it every single day. I would recommend DMV to anyone considering a kitchen or bath remodel. I found DMV through Angie's List and now that I've worked with them, I understand what all the rave reviews are about. Yes, they are that good.

Working with DMV was a pleasure, and by far the smoothest part of our renovation project.  From initial bidding (with Pelin and Alan), to the consultations and negotiation phase with owner Javier, to the on-site job led by Orlando, the entire DMV team is exceptionally responsive and willing to go above-and-beyond, with fast turn-arounds and quality work.  Issues were resolved with no hassle, and even when factors outside their control caused project delays -- e.g. problems with our designer or delays/flaws in materials ordered by others -- they were always friendly, courteous, and able to let us know the impact.  I was particularly impressed with how they were able to (without batting an eyelash) match existing design components and materials we were not replacing, such as our wood flooring, which saved us a considerable amount of money on our project.  Plus, they came in several thousand dollars below the next-closest bidder.  Our remodel was extensive, DMV deserves the most credit for making it minimally disruptive and looking great.

If Angie's List had an A+ rating, we would give it to the folks at DMV Kitchen and Baths.
We've remodeled kitchens before, and working with DMV was BY FAR the best experience we could hope for.
We interviewed a number of contractors. There are a lot of sharks out there. But we were immediately impressed by Javier Nogales at DMV. He and his team are real professionals in every sense of the word: trust-worthy, pleasant, respectful, taking great pride in their work and going the extra mile (without our asking for it). Each and every one of the crew members kept our interests at heart. When going through a punch list, they met our every expectation-- and graciously. Hassle-free. Attitude-free. The work was done on time and on budget. Javier never flinched to take our calls or answer our texts, promptly and professionally.  
We loved working with these guys. The final product is AWESOME.
Do not hesitate to give them a try.

Javier and the team at DMV did a great job on our kitchen remodel and powder room installation.  While there were some issues that arose during the project, Javier and his team quickly resolved those issues.  The team was always friendly and professional.  We are VERY happy with the final work.

From the start, DMV was considerate and easy to work with. We chose only Angie's List contractors with A ratings, but only DMV had taken the time to read the "wish list" that we had provided. Also, they were the only contractor that included visuals in their proposal -- one to help us visualize exactly what we asked for, plus another "aspirational" version that incorporated some comments I had about what I would love do if I was unconstrained. I appreciated that.
We then worked with DMV to tailor the bid to exactly what we needed (and could afford). They were cheerful and cooperative throughout this process. When the construction began, the team communicated with us every day. The guys doing the work were a pleasure to have around. We hit some "old house" snags, and they were very flexible and had creative ideas to resolve the issues. For instance, when it became apparent that the original window frame (which had been buried) was an unusual shape, the crew suggested framing it with an interesting arrangement of tile, cut from the bullnose used for the walls, to accentuate its uniqueness. Also, when the special-sized sink that I ordered (not from the DMV showroom) arrived it was chipped, and the team patiently assessed several replacement sinks that I proposed until we found one that was just right.
Throughout the process, from our initial meeting through the finishing touches, our designer and project manager Alan was wonderful. He kept everything moving and made us feel good about our decision to go with DMV.

We contracted with DMV to do a complete overhaul of our master bedroom and closet. DMV was responsive to our request for a quote and provided the estimate within about a week. We received quotes from 4 contractors, DMV being middle of the road in terms of cost. After comparing prices, reviews and the tile/cabinet options, we decided to go with DMV.  We also liked their flexibility during the bid process since we didn't know exactly what to expect under the tile and in the walls.

We hadn't decided completely on a design but Stephanie helped us at the showroom. Work started quickly and we were assigned one team of workers to do the work. Other than a few instances, the same two men did all of the work.  And the work was quality.  Everyday we spoke with the team and gave them feedback on location of items and other small details.

The team worked Monday through Saturday. Showed up by 8am each day and were willing to stay until they completed whatever they were working on that day (I'm sure they would have left earlier if we requested but we were eager to get the job done). They even showed up on bad weather days (including a snowstorm in which the foreman had to send them home). 

The team was willing to please. My wife had a miscommunication with what direction she wanted the tile installed in the floor. After laying 75% of it, they pulled it all up and reinstalled it. The rework took a full day to complete but we were not charged extra for the hours. The crew was friendly and respectful of our home.

If you want a contractor that you speak to once, and come back with a perfect finished job, you may want to look elsewher (but you will also pay through the roof).  In fact. we had some estimates that were $20,000 more than DMV, but we couldn't afford that. Rather, we knew how we wanted the rooms to look and we were very hands on.  DMV had no problem with that, and they kept down the overall costs down. We also appreciated that they came in right on budget -- to the nickel. 

Other than a few minor items on our punch list that took some time to resolve (disclored faucet and dripping facuet), we had a great experience with DMV.  I feel very comfortable recommending them to others who want a very good job done at a reasonable price.  We are actually in discussions with them about another bathroom remodel.  Great company and great people.

Listened to what we wanted and were happy to make suggestions, Listening is the key part. Workers are professional and courteous. This is THE company to use! Could not be happier. If any friends were doing this type of rennovation we would recommend DMV with out hesitation.

We were very pleased with our interaction with DMV Kitchen through its main team members: Javier, Rolando, Grover and Morris. On our first meeting at the project site, Rolando spent 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours to understand what we need done and gave an initial look (like tapping walls, measuring spaces) to assess what the job requires. After about two weeks, Rolando came back with a detailed estimate, taking into account the points we talked about during our first meeting. In order to make DMV's estimate more accurate, Rolando invited us to their showroom and asked us to pick what exact materials (cabinets, countertops, fixtures) we would like installed in the house. One would think that this is such a process for a first step in renovation, but all worth it because both parties are clear with what we, the clients, want to achieve, plus there are no surprises in price!
Given our tight deadline, DMV sent multiple workers on a daily basis, making sure that they keep with the timetable. Like any renovation, there are some portions of the project where timing is beyond contractor's control (dependent on material supplier's timing). When we had a delay with the arrival of cabinets, DMV concentrated on another area of the project.
Rolando was our main contact from DMV and he was very responsive. If he is in a meeting, an office representative would send an email to let us know that he will get back to us as soon as he can. Rolando immediately relayed our requests to Grover, who was the point person at the project site, and Grover assembled his team to implement. Javier visited the project regularly to make sure permitting requirements and project timetable are met.
The DMV crew members were also professional and courteous. They were mindful to keep the premises as clean as they could after a day's work. 
It was evident that the team takes pride in their work. We are meticulous like some other clients, but we are happy with what they did with our house. Although this happened rarely, when there was a part of the job that we like improved, they were happy to do it. 
We recommend this team and we will hire them again for a future job.

From the very beginning when we first entered the showroom just looking at designs and stuff and to get some of my questions answered,  Javier was willing and able to guide me (since I was doing some of the framing and drywall myself).  When we were ready for them to come give me an estimate, Javier and Alan came to the house and were very thorough in the measuring and design of the area.  They were able to answer all my questions and give knowledgeable suggestions on improving things that we had not thought about having in our shower.  I received the estimate by email within a couple days.  Alan and I went back and forth on a couple of things I wanted added or removed (things I did myself) from the estimate, and he was very responsive and once we got it all figured out we went to the showroom to pick our tiles and sign the contract.  They were very open and knowledgeable in helping my wife choose the tiles.  We had already chosen the fixtures and valves that we wanted to use and they were very happy to make them fit in to the design.  After we signed the contract they accommodated our requested start date which was about 3 weeks away.  The first day, Alan, Javier, the workers and I all met to go over and confirm everything before they started.  Once they got to work the workers were very polite and treated our house like their own.  They spread plastic everywhere, every day, to protect the floor and areas from any damage or dust.  They spent the next 2 days doing all the plumbing for the shower and toilet.  They then framed the bench, 5 niches, and went to work hanging the cement board which was then covered with Kerdi liner which I really loved!!!! I asked for a couple minor things to be changed and they were very willing to stop and go get the needed parts and make sure it was done to my satisfaction.  After everything dried they started on the tile, which they suggested doing diagonally and the guys spent a lot of time making sure everything lined up perfectly.  I think they spent 3 days doing the tile work.  We had some miscommunication on the door; I thought they were using a sliding door, but they had planned on using a swing door but were happy to accommodate my pickyness and order the door we wanted.  It was delivered with a part broken and they were immediately on the phone trying to get the part replaced.  When it came in they were back out to finish the door.  After all was said and done they sealed everything.  It looks OUTSTANDING! We have shown it to all of our friends and everyone loves it.  I have since called them back to do other work in our house (mainly taping and mudding drywall so far) and I can't say enough about how nice they were to work with and how great of a job they did, even after all of my crazy requests!

The kitchen remodeling was completed 1week earlier than the estimate.  Very professional crew who did an excellent job and cleaned up thoroughly every day. DMV did not nickel and dime us for small extras and did a great job.  We are very happy with their work.

Cemmy was very professional and honest about what renovations to my bathroom and kitchen would cost.  Came a second time to my home to look at revisions to the original estimates.  Was patient and creative with what we could do within my budget.  In the end, will postpone both renovations for now, but will not hesitate to use DMV Kitchen and Bath in the future.

Overall, we were pleased with the work.  Javier and his team were very flexible and allowed us to make changes on the fly.  For example, we selected a countertop, then later realized it wouldn't match the floor and backsplash scheme we wanted.  Even after selecting the slab we were able to go back and order a man-made quartz instead that had a lighter color but wouldn't break like marble.  We were also unaware at the start of the job that we had a violation with DCRA since we had never been provided a notice and DCRA had never contacted us.  Javier avoided a several day delay at the start of the project by making clear that it must have been an error on DCRA's part and that we had never committed a violation.  
Javier's team was also committed to quality work and keeping the customer happy.  Several items that we had not specified in the contract (because, after all, it'd be a novel if you took the time to spell out everything) were done to a lower standard than we were expecting.  For example, we paid to replace three windows.  The team replaced them and replaced brickwork that needed to be removed but did not leave any flashing to protect the base.  We asked for flashing and they added it at no charge.  Another example - the crew had to cut into the floor to remove a load bearing wall.  In the process they cut more than would be replaced by the cabinet going in the same space.  They replaced that flooring with matching wood free of charge.  For the full project they didn't seek to up-sell us along the way but were faithful to the estimate they'd provided. 
Lastly, I'd mention they stand by their work with a warranty.  They replaced two doors, and with some of the swelling and flexing that occurred going from winter to summer, the doors began to stick.  I mentioned this to DMV and they sent the crew out promptly to fix it, again, free of charge. 
The one critique I have is that the work crew didn't always make the best decisions.  For example, during the demo, we walled off the kitchen to prevent dust from spreading (an inevitability with old plaster houses).  The crew chose to take a work break by sitting down at our dining table in their work clothes.  Can't begrudge a crew taking a break but tracking dirt, dust and sweat into a clean area of the house is always bad.  Another example was the crew tried to break up our lead radiator by propping it up against the exterior wall of the house and hitting it with a sledge hammer.  Needless to say, the wall started to lose that battle.  To their credit, DMV apologized for both events and repaired the cracks in the wall free of charge. 
Overall, this is a contractor that performs quality work with integrity for a reasonable price.  And as anyone who's ever done a home project knows, that's hard to find.  I would recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience with DMV.  Javier, Oscar, and Evan were always a pleasure to deal with.  Very knowledgeable and interested in helping us achieve the kitchen of our dreams.  Our kitchen is amazing and we have been enjoying it every day!  Friends and family have fallen in love with the kitchen as well.  Interestingly, when I have had other work done at the house, i.e plumber, furniture people, handyman, they all want to know who did such fabulous work for us.  We had some interesting requests during our remodel, and Javier never got bothered or stressed, he took on all challenges with a good sense of ease.   Our range is on our island so in order to increase the space of the island when not cooking we asked if they could build a custom trey-type cover in the same wood as our cabinets.  This to cover the range so we can put food and drinks out and use the entire space if having a party.  They did this for us and it looks great.  We get compliments on that all the time as well.  All of the workers were always polite, friendly and punctual.  Every day it was a huge mess whilst construction was going on, but every night they cleaned everything up off the floor and kept the area very tidy.  This was wonderful as we have two young children that like to run around barefoot despite being warned of possible debris on the floor.  We would highly recommend DMV for a remodeling project, don't hesitate giving them a call they will give you a competitive price and a beautiful remodel!

This was my third project with DMV and it was another great one.  Everything went smoothly, on time and on budget.  I dealt with what has become my standard trio of DMV folks:  Cemmy for quoting, coordination, materials, design, and such.  Javier for overall project management and engineering.  Maynor handling the day-to-day work.

The tricky part of this project was routing a 3 inch drain line from the bathroom on the second floor to the basement main drain without destroying the rest of the house.  Javier spent some time looking at all the various options for the route and ended up coming up with a creative solution that only required two small holes in other walls.

Cemmy did his usual great job going back and forth with me narrowing down the exact quote I was looking for as well as handling design, sourcing all materials, and scheduling.

Maynor and company did the same wonderful work that they've done on our other jobs working 8am - 6pm, six days a week until the work was done.

The quality of the work was great.  There was only one small hick-up along the way when a city inspector didn't like some of the work the original builder had done.  Javier handled the issue and didn't charge anything additional for having to do the extra work.

After a handful of projects with DMV I can't recommend them enough.  Great quality work at a reasonable price with fabulous customer service.  It's so nice to work with a team of people that take pride in their work and aren't looking to nickel and dime you.

We had a great experience with DMV. They worked hard six days a week, and they got the job done on time. The only problem was that they forgot to order a part, but they followed up quickly and it eventually arrived (we could still use the bathroom while we were waiting). I felt very comfortable emailing or texting our designer or project manager and getting a quick response - DMV's customer service is really remarkable. They were patient with our questions, and if we had small corrections, they made them quickly. I recommend DMV very highly.

DMV was a pleasure to work with during our basement bathroom renovation. We expanded a power room into a full bathroom by adding a shower stall. From the design phase to the end of construction, they were courteous, professional, and attentive to small details. They were punctual every day, and they cleaned up after the day's construction EVERY night, which meant a lot to our family. When an unforeseen issue arose about the exhaust fan venting, not only did they propose reasonable solutions, they did not charge extra for the additional work - it was simply part of what they did. They worked with us to order materials, and they were responsive to all of our questions. The workers on the job were true professionals, and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. I would recommend DMV highly.

We had an excellent experience with DMV. From the estimate and design phase, they were courteous and responsive. Construction proceeded according to a work plan, and it was on budget. They worked with us to purchase materials. They worked hard (8am-6pm six days a week), which resulted in the project done basically within two weeks. The only hiccup was the ordering of a medicine cabinet - they forgot to do it, and when it arrived, it didn't have the mounting kit, so we had to wait two extra weeks after the bathroom was finished to install. But other than that, it was a pleasure working with them. Even when there was an unforeseen electrical issue, they handled it right away and made sure we knew what the problem was, plus options for solutions. They responded day and night to emails, texts, and phone calls. The project manager was on top of everything. We absolutely would use them again.
