We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with DMV Kitchen & Bath and are tremendously impressed with the results! Due to poor construction by the original builder (no liner installed in the shower), our master bathroom shower began leaking into the closet below. This caused significant damage to the bathroom and a mold problem. After talking with several different contractors, we chose DMV. We met with Rolando to discuss what we wanted - he was very helpful and patient as we selected the tile and countertops we wanted. Throughout the process, he was the most responsive contractor we've worked with *ever* - he always quickly responded to text, calls, or emails and provided a backup when he was out of town. The workers did an outstanding job - entire process was about 3 weeks - and took care with covering everything in plastic, making sure our cat didn't escape, etc. The new bathroom looks 100x better, and no more leaks! We're extremely satisfied with the result, and would recommend DMV to anyone!
For our last project, we worked with Javier as our point man. He was terrific. This time around Oscar was assigned to us. In addition to his design and construction knowledge, he had an unlimited amount of patience! It was slow going for us to make decisions, and Oscar was accommodating to the max. Even when we weren't expecting him, he seemed to suddenly appear in our house to check up on the day's progress.
Three teams worked on the demolition, installation, electric, plumbing and painting work. All of the men were professional, courteous, hard working and excelled at their jobs. Everyone involved in our project always went the extra mile to insure that the work passed our stringent standards.
This job involved installing new cabinets, countertops, sink, faucet, tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting, recessed lighting, running a gas line to the range, painting, and installing new appliances: range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. The kitchen is not large, but with the new remodel we have more floor and cabinet space.
Our kitchen remodel exceeded our expectations. We were very fortunate to have DMV on board. We rate them an A+!
That is how we felt when we visited our farmhouse to discover a pipe
had broken, causing devastating water and mold damage. Black mold seemed to be
everywhere on the interior of the ground floor. What was worse, we discovered
there was a $10,000.00 cap on mold-related damage on our policy. We were
advised to level it and "write it off" by family and friends who saw
it.
Miracle Workers!
Enter DMV Kitchens and Bath. We had used them in the past for bathroom
remodeling and basement finishing. Javier took a look and said he would
represent us in working with the insurance company, and he did.
Much of what the insurance company said was mold damage, Javier was
able to successfully show was actually water damage which was covered by our
policy.
In order to get the mold out, the house was taken down to a shell - not
even the floors were left.
I will let the pictures speak for the miracle work that DMV accomplished
on time and within budget.
No job is too big for this company. They are the best!
It is so rare to find such a customer service-oriented company that is
top quality without breaking the bank.
On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best DMV Kitchens and Baths is a
TEN.
DMV was friendly and easy to work with. We appreciated their willingness to work with us on the budget - we went through the estimate line-by-line and elected to perform some tasks ourselves (demolition, painting, and backsplash) which helped reduce our overall cost.
During the design phase, we worked with a designer named Cemmy who was always very responsive to what we wanted to do. He came to our house to evaluate our initial plan and gave some great suggestions for improving it. We then had an appointment at their office in Gaithersburg to select materials and Cemmy was again very helpful - he knows the right balance between giving suggestions but also letting the client guide the look of the new kitchen. We also appreciated that he was not constantly trying to "up-sell" us with more expensive cabinets, counters, appliances, etc.
Once the project started, Cemmy was still our contact person but we also were provided the personal phone number of the project manager Javier. Javier was great to work with - he fixed a few errors we made during the demolition phase at minimal cost and helped us address some emergent issues (mostly electrical) which were discovered once the old kitchen was removed.
All of the workers that DMV sent to our house were courteous and helped to minimize the disruption to our family (e.g. they didn't treat the whole house like a construction zone). They also took the time to discuss each day's planned work with us and get any feedback or make changes to the design as necessary - particularly their electrician Tomas who was great to work with.
As worked progressed Cemmy and Javier addressed any issues we raised quickly and professionally. A few of the cabinets arrived with minor damage or broken pieces - these we all corrected without our involvement. When we discovered a problem between the dishwasher and lower handle on the stove drawer, Cemmy worked with the manufacturer to get a new drawer.
In the end, we liked working with DMV so much that we also hired them to do some work on our master bathroom. Highly recommended.
GREAT JOB. IN FUTURE ALSO IF I NEED TO DO ANY WORK I WILL CALL THE SAME COMPANY. VERY PROFESSIONAL
Here are a few reasons why I highly recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath and why I will use them again:
1. The team arrived at my home on time, and were very respectful of the property. They worked 10-12 hours a day to stay within their timeline.
2. They were very conscientious: they carefully taped off the floor and placed plastic in the entryways to help prevent dust. They cleaned up/swept at the end of each day and placed their supplies neatly away in the garage. That says a lot about a company.
3. They asked questions if they weren't sure...they wanted to do it right!
4. They do GREAT WORK! I was truly surprised at the end of each day, at what they accomplished. My kitchen was transformed in 8 days!
It's clear that Evan, Javier and the entire DMV K&B team are committed to providing a great experience for their customers, doing whatever it takes to create the desired outcome. They are truly a delight to work with. I am more than pleased with my new kitchen...it's exactly as I had envisioned it, and then some. I cannot wait to have my bathrooms upgraded...I will only make one call!
THANK YOU, DMV K&B...well done!
Javier was our overall project manager and I can't speak highly enough about his commitment to customer satisfaction. There were the expected 'surprises' and communication challenges along the way, but it was always clear that Javier was 100% committed to our satisfaction. (As we have learned in taking on a project like this, the more specific you can be about your plans and expectations, the better off both the client and the contractor will be.) They stayed true to our contracted price and didn't nickel and dime us on minor (and some not so minor) changes along the way. There was one or two items that came up that did impact our overall cost, but they were very careful to lay out our options and make sure we understood the various tradeoffs before they did any actual work. A few parts of our project were initially executed in a way that wasn't what we were expecting or that we weren't happy with, but in every instance they worked with us to make sure we were satisfied. Our biggest challenge came in the final stretch when there was an issue around replacement of a damaged appliance, however as with everything else, in the end they made sure that we ended up satisfied.
The work crews were great. We asked that they not arrive before 8 am each day when our son goes to school, and they arrived pretty much as 8 am on the dot each day and made sure we were ready for them before entering the house. They took care to manage the mess, covering the floors, taping off other parts of the house to minimize the dust, and cleaned up at the end of the day. And the quality of their work was exceptional.
Overall, our project was pretty complex - we removed a wall and a coat closet that also impacted our living room, found 'unexpected' pipes in the walls that needed to be moved, and broke through an external brick wall to enlarge a window - in addition to the usual tiling, cabinet and appliance installation that is part of many kitchen remodels. We also chose relatively high-end materials, which is reflected in our overall costs, and also meant that we were very demanding about the final result. I would definitely hire them again, and would highly recommend them to others.
For those of you reading this review....pick up your phone and call DMV today, you will not regret it!
I would highly recommend DMV Kitchens and Baths. I had them renovate my home?s kitchen and three bathrooms. DMV did a wonderful job. I worked solely with one employee, Evan Guerrero, who provided an estimate that was within my stated budget, and the company?s team of workers stayed with my home renovation from start to finish?no week gaps here and there as is common with a lot of renovators who subcontract out their work. All of their employees work for DMV Kitchens and Baths. Evan was very responsive to my questions or any changes I requested. He made suggestions when I was stumped with the various decisions I needed to make. DMV Kitchens and Baths? work and service are top notch. They probably have some of the best tile workers in the business. The finished rooms are beautiful!
DMV responded quickly with an estimate and work was started within 2-3 weeks after contract signing. A couple of mistakes (e.g. cabinet measurements) were discovered as the work progressed, however, I found Javier reasonable to work with and to find solutions. I also attribute my own need to move fast to the couple of issues that arose. The majority of the work did take about twice as long tas the orginal estimate of 6-8 weeks, however, I expected that - and my own decision to expand the scope of work contributed to delays as well.
As the job progressed, there were a few add-ons (ductwork for the tankless hot water heater, rerouting a gas line in the kitchen) but all were reasonable. Javier responded very quickly whenever I had an issue or question. I also appreciated that Javier had the crews re-do several aspects to ensure top quality. Things such as smoothing out the uneven surfaces in plaster walls, several times in order to get it right. I also greatly appreciated that DMV/Javier approved the crew doing some furniture installation/hanging of wall art, etc. with no extra charge while they were at my home awaiting deliveries, etc.
I had a roofing and siding company also do work at the same time that DMV was working on the inside of my home. I appreciated that Javier on two occasions let me know when there appeared to be an electrical cut, and insufficient quality to the exterior siding work. Many contractors might not say anything however I felt that Javier/DMV was looking out for my best interests.
I found Orlando, Robert, and all of the crew members were extremely punctual, reliable, trustworthy and hard-working.
In summary, I highly recommend DMV for your home improvement project.
The renovation was further complicated by the fact that it was done long distance. We are in Connecticut and for part of the renovation we were out of the country. Whenever there were any questions about issues or choices to be made, Evan, the project manager, contacted us on a very timely basis to present the issues - including sending photos and helping us with the decision making process. They held our hand every step of the way and were very detail conscious, making sure we were on top of the details and had input into the decision making process when needed.
DMV provided quality materials at reasonable prices and was even able to get us a discount on appliances. During the early stage of the project, we suggested using cabinets from Home Depot or Lowes. They advised us to go with better constructed hard wood cabinets and were able to provide them at the same price or lower than the big box stores.
We can't say enough good things about DMV. Choose them for your remodel project. You'll be glad you did!
I really didn't expect it could go that fast--in fact, we had allowed three weeks--but I am so thankful that it was all done a lot sooner because I really needed to get back to the office, and I also appreciated being able to put the house back together sooner. To my great delight, DMV made it a very positive and smooth experience, and my house looks just beautiful! I truly could not have asked for better.
My deepest thanks go especially to Cemmy, the salesman who guided me expertly throughout the process. He didn't just write the contract; he also followed the project from start to finish, checking in with me every day. He is very patient, accommodating, and friendly, and he listened to all of my concerns and never made me wait for answers. He always answered my phone calls, and when he said he would do or check into something, he did. He offered several great suggestions in terms of design, and he gave sound advice as I chose cabinet finishes, countertops, lighting, drawer handles and pulls, backsplash, and floor tile. I didn't feel rushed, and I did feel that he was looking out for what I wanted and needed. Thank you, Cemmy!
Everyone who worked on my house showed a very strong work ethic, which rates extremely high to me. Johnny and Felix worked steadily and very h****** both demolition and installation. Having had other contractors working in my home who would work for a few hours, then disappear for hours or even a day, I was particularly impressed with how Johnny and Felix stuck to the job. They also cleaned up after themselves each day. That helped make an inevitably disruptive process easier to take. Thank you, Johnny and Felix!
The "granite guy" did an incredible job installing the granite countertops. I am sorry that I didn't catch his name. He and his partner arrived early in the day (PERFECT in my book!) and installed breathtaking countertops that gleam and shine with natural beauty. (I am now wondering how on Earth I will ever be able to move out of my house, now that it looks so fantastic!) He also allayed my concerns that the bathroom sink might be too close to the medicine cabinet...but it turned out that, of course, he was right--the medicine cabinet really doesn't get in the way of someone standing at the sink. Thank you, granite guy!
Grover did a superb job installing the backsplash, hooking up the new microwave line to the electrical box, making sure the reinstalled appliances were working correctly, and doing some other final cleanup tasks. The gorgeous kitchen backsplash he put in makes me stop and stare. The light catches the little colored glass squares, and the whole kitchen sparkles. Thank you, Grover!
I highly recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath. The value that their work will add to your home will be far higher than the money you pay them. You'll walk into your house and feel so rich when you see your new kitchen and bath.
Not to be overlooked, DMV does an outstanding job of site preparation and clean-up. During this remodel, a portion of our basement was being used for living and DMV did an outstanding job of going the extra length to keep the work site out of the living space.
I am going to love fixing quick snacks and fancy holiday meals, and gathering with family and friends in my wonderful new kitchen. The design was complex--a radical change from the prior design and in a difficult space--but the design they developed is exactly what I wanted. It is efficient with lots of storage and work space. The workmanship and materials are excellent quality and look great. Importantly, job was finished ahead of time and on budget. In addition, everyone at DMV Kitchen and Bath was courteous, professional, tidy and always on time.
They were very professional from start to finish and willing to listen and work with timeline and budget.
The crew was GREAT! They paid attention to details and were very helpful and willing to explain details of job before,
.during and after. There was no major problems, just a few little errands to replace wrong type toilet and vanity light,
The crew always used floor/wall dust covering each day. The were helpful with hanging mirrors and worked with
a few last minute changes on vanity selections and very helpful in going the extra mile, more than once.
We had to wait on glass doors to be made due to a production at the glass manufacturer. We understood that it
was out of DMV Kitchen&Bath control .
Rolando stayed on top of giving us updates on the timeline for the shower doors installation. It was 1 wk delay.
Overall, ALL went smooth and both bathrooms look great and we are enjoying our new spa like upgrades.
For our Kitchen, DMV did the whole renovation of our kitchen starting from replacing the floor tiles, replacing the cabinets and installing the Granite counter tops and Granite Island. We asked them to relocate our Island Cooking range to move it to the wall, to create an Island Counter Top and sink with faucet. They did a great job including recessed lighting with modification of the ceiling, and based on our request provided with dimmer and dual control. We are very pleased with our kitchen remodeling done by DMV Kitchen and bath under the leadership of Javier who is the most knowledgeable and would accommodate changes or request from us. They also did the painting installing crown molding all over the kitchen area and the family room. DMV Kitchen and Bath takes pride in the work they do with the least disturbance to the customers. They were very punctual getting to work on time every day 6 days a week, working ten plus hours each day. The floor tile and back splash done by the team with Javier's guidance was done very artistic and precise. Nogi, who did the granite work all over from kitchen to the powder room, master bath, dual sinks, shower wall and guest bath room did a superb job. The tile work was also done on the hall way with the painting all over and did a great professional job.
For our master bath, DMV designed and installed beautiful granite shower walls, frameless shower glass door, floor tiles, recessed lights, granite counter top, and tiles with glass back splash around the bathtub. For the hall-way bath, they designed and installed beautiful tiles on the floor, tiles with glass tile around the tub, granite counter tops, and vanity. The Project was managed by Mr. Javier who excelled in his customer care working with us every step of the way to complete the project on time within the budget with attention to details. His project team consisted of a number of well skilled and polite members like Maynor, Marcos, Lewis, Nogi and Rubin. We are very pleased with the quality of the work performed by DMV and will be glad to provide referrals for prospective DMV customers.
We would highly recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath to anyone looking in to remodeling, and will assure that they are very efficient, dedicated and affordable.
It is so hard these days to find not only exceptional quality work, but work that comes in on budget and on time. We have worked with DMV for four years on many projects and they have never disappointed us.
If you need quality work at an affordable price, DMV should be your choice.
The good communication between us and DMV, the lack of misunderstandings and frustrations, has been a huge part of our satisfaction in working with them.
Javier Contreras, one of the owners, exemplifies the integrity and and quality of work and follow-through that is rare to find these days. He recently finished our basement in our new home - including a bar / kitchen area and a full bath. Beautiful work!
Love this company, and have recommended it without hesitation to family and friends.

DMV Kitchen made this hard and long processes as easy as it could be from the very start with the kitchen design, picking out the cabinets, back splash, and hardware. They want to make the customer happy and bend over backwards to comply!
