GBC Kitchen & Bath

We met with them and told them what we wanted done. Our master bath was already demolished so it's a blank canvas. They promised to email us with an estimate, but we've heard nothing back thus far. I called them this morning inquiring about the estimate and if they were even interested in working for us. The person on the phone took my name and phone number and no one hasn't called. I'm moving on to find another company. These people are not responsive. I wouldn't know anything about their service or price since they never responded. UPDATE: I spoke with Koksal and Osman. They were very nice and apologetic. It turns out there was a miscommunication regarding my estimate. They both called me to apologize and sent an apology via email. I got the estimate within minutes. They have a reasonable price, but we are still getting other estimates and will make a decision soon.

We had such a positive experience with GBC when they renovated our kitchen. They were great to work with and the quality of their work was outstanding. Professional, highly skilled, they were on budget and completed the work within the time frame given. We absolutely love our beautiful new kitchen and we are confident in recommending GBC and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I would recommend GBC Kitchen and Bath to anyone looking to redesign or remodel their home. We did our kitchen, master bath, and three bathrooms and were very pleased! The pricing was extremely fair (even with all the extras we changed along the way) - I would highly recommend to all!

It went pretty good. The work looked great when they finished. They were very patient with the process. Whenever I see the work and changes you did, gives me another opportunity to say "JOB WELL DONE!".

It went really well. I do like the fact that two people came and took measurements. I also liked that they doubled checked all their measures to create a sketch of the kitchen as it's currently modeled and the how we would like for it to be remodeled. Though we haven't received a quote yet (they expressed upfront that they would be busy and may not get us one as soon as we would like), I did want to provide a review based on what I saw. If that is how the come to a meeting to gather what they need for an estimate, I can imagine that they do a great job. We have decided to go with another contractor, through no fault of United KB.

The entire renovation was extremely successful. GBC was one of three companies that we requested a proposal from and decided this company would be the best. When we met at the Alexandria showroom we were helped with our color choices for the tile, cabinets, floor, and knobs and I would add without pressure. Our contract manager and crew manager were top notch. Each area of construction was professionally completed and questions we had were resolved immediately. The additional crew members were very polite and cleaned up after each work time. I would like to add that the second showroom is called United Floors, Kitchen, and Bath in Rockville, MD. and the same crew works there as well. We chose the Alexandria location because of where we live.

I thought they were professional and knowledgeable. He sent me back an estimate by the end of the week, which was about 5 days and I thought that was pretty quick. I was happy with the estimate.

I was promised a gift certificate if I gave a good review, but that is not why I'm rating them highly. They really did do a good job and I love my kitchen. I feel I got quality materials at a good price, and the workmanship was very high. Like with any home remodel, I watched the work very closely. There were several problems but they were all rectified quickly when I called the problems to their attention. They are also just plain nice people, which is important when you have strangers working in your home.

GBC replaced our entire kitchen, removed a wall, put in an island, and moved and upgraded our electrical panel. The price was very competitive and the contractors were very hard working. The staff was responsive and helpful. The craftsmanship was good but it was important to inspect and communicate with the contractor.

Gbc did a great job. They provided an incredible design and really knew what they were doing. We created a kitchen in our English basement and they did beautiful work at a reasonable price. Their showroom was great and Jenk, Osman, Nili, and everyone in their offices was an absolute joy to work with. Would highly recommend and use again

I cannot really rate this company high enough. You need an A++ rating or something. It has been @ a year since this company finished our kitchen. They were prompt. They were polite. The quality of their work was outstanding. They held my hand through the whole thing (It was our first kitchen reno). Kamil was our awesome foreman/manager. Carlos did the imaginative, beautiful heavy work. He was relentless in his quest to find solutions. The design was so sharp, classic and understated (Lisa A. was our initial designer who drew up the plans, picked appliances w/me, listened to my whinge-ing) Then came our other designer, Lurisa, who has the patience of a SAINT-- How do you keep everyone on the same page? Family. This is a family business--you can feel the pride in their work. The results were beautiful for us. They came in ON budget, a little delayed on time (through the fault of suppliers, only) A 3 month kitchen reno was like a walk in the park with them.

After we purchased our condo in Sept 2013 we went to a home show to get some remodeling ideas and that's where we met Koksal. We interviewed several companies and decided to give GBC a chance. We set up an appointment the next week with Koksal to get an estimate on a kitchen remodel. Koksal was thorough and offered several ideas for our new kitchen space. Within a day or so Koksal had a proposal sent over for our review. We were impressed with the estimate and the follow up communication from Koksal. After reviewing 3 other offers we decided to use GBC for our kitchen remodel. The other 3 companies didn't even come close to GBC's proposal when we compared them side by side. Over the next couple of weeks we met with Koksal to go over the color schemes and styles, and got a chance to visit the granite warehouse to examine the different types of granite ourselves. During the process we had several questions, since this was our first kitchen remodel, and Koksal was able to handle every question professionally. After all of our questions were answered, we signed the contract with GBC for kitchen cabinets, flooring, backsplash and countertops. We agreed on a date for the cabinet delivery and granite installation and they delivered on both of them. Our parents recently visited our condo and loved our kitchen. We were inspired to write this review because sometimes good work and a good product can go unappreciated. Thanks GBC. I would recommend GBC, and in particular, Koksal, to anyone looking for a quality kitchen remodel.

We used United's sister company, GBC of Alexandria, VA, to remodel our kitchen, and they did a terrific job. (We posted a separate review of GBC on Angie's List). During the process, we also visited United's showroom in Rockville several times, as this location turned out to be somewhat closer to our house. The staff at United were very helpful in answering all of our questions regarding the materials and providing samples for us to take home. They were extremely courteous, knowledgeable and professional, and we would definitely consider United for future projects. Koksal is involved with both companies; he is a terrific designer and gives outstanding customer service.

GBC salesman Koksal came out to measure, see the spaces, and discuss what we wanted to do. He was incredibly helpful in selecting the new cabinetry, tile, and granite. They have cabinet samples, various tile samples, and a nearby granite showroom/warehouse. By asking a few questions, he was able to narrow down the number of samples we needed to look at, yet we had an ample selection. The process was so easy which we appreciated since that had been one of the reasons we had been putting this project off. Next, Koksal gave us a pretty detailed estimate with various allowances for things like the exhaust fan, toilets, tub, etc. He provided us with a website that they often use which has everything you need at very reasonable prices. The website is easy to use and we were able to select all of our fixtures in a reasonably short time. The only things we could not pick out were the exhaust fans as we did not know what size/dimensions would work in our two situations. Koksal did that research for us and selected an excellent fan. Prior to starting work, the GBC team came out again to review the job and we determined mirror sizes that they would purchase and have framed to match the cabinetry. Work started on time as scheduled on Jan. 21, 2014. Tearing out the old stuff is a dirty job, but they laid down tarps and tried to keep dust, etc., to a minimum. The work went forward very well until we got to installing the exhaust fan in the hall bathroom. At first it didn't seem like it was going to fit, but Daniel and the construction manager figured out how to move it a bit, allowing it to fit. The next big hurdle was installing the cabinet in the master bath and connecting the drain without having to cut through the cabinet drawers and several of the sides - this was an issue because of the way the builders had installed the drain. Again, Daniel and the construction manager figured out a couple options. They were very open about pros and cons of each including the additonal cost for one of the options. We selected the more costly but definitely superior avenue, and it was accomplished ASAP. The next surprise and hurdle was the installation of the new exhaust fan in the master bathroom. This time there was no way the one ordered was going to fit - the allotted space was just too narrow. With the old one out and actual measurements for the space, Koksal found one that would fit and provide good CFM airflow. It took a few days for the new fan to arrive and this was really the only delay we experienced. When the work was completed, we were told to spend a couple days looking everything over and using the space and drawing up a punch list for any final adjustments. As it turned out, we were able to do this while waiting for the exhaust fan to arrive so the few minor things on our punch list were taken care of the day they installed the fan. We did have to make one call for someone to come back and that was to adjust a drawer which wasn't closing properly; this just took a couple minutes for an adjustment to the drawer slide. Overall the work took a bit longer than we anticipated due to some bad weather (snow storms) and the delay in getting the fan, but as far as disruptive days go, probably 10 to 14, which is what we expected. It has now been 2 months and I'm still amazed at how these 2 rooms were transformed. We love our new bathrooms! My favorite features are the large tiles in the tub area going all the way to the ceiling, the warm wood tones of the higher 35 inch height cabinetry, the much improved exhaust fans, the granite countertops, and the new lights and mirrors.

Project took about 2 months and we were very happy with the quality of the work, staff's punctuality, cleanliness, and workmanship. Koksal the owner was great to negotiate and work with. He presented a detailed proposal and was flexible throughout the project, accommodating our additional requirements/extra work. We completely remodeled our master bath and the hall bath and they both turned out great! Thanks United Kitchen & Bath, and Koksal!

After receiving seven proposals to remodel our master bedroom (12x14) we chose GBC Kitchen and Baths. What great decision that was. GBC was one of the few companies that offered one stop shopping. Louisa Berry was our sales representative, who performed the initial proposal, guided us through the selections of all materials, designed the project, and was the overall project manager. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the project and was always available to assist us during the project. She knew what we wanted to achieve and helped us select each item and was able to make suggestions which greatly helped the project go from conception to completion. Except for the demolition when there was a third worker, Fernando and Victor were the principle workers and Faouz was the job supervisor. Each was very professional and knowledgeable about their craft. They left the job site and our home clean every day and they made sure that everything that we requested was done and done well. GBC gutted the bathroom, removed existing cabinets and fixtures, installed tile floor, tile in the shower enclosure, cabinets, fixtures, frameless shower enclosure, granite countertops, and painted the entire bathroom.

It was an estimate for my kitchen. I never followed up after obtaining the estimate

Very professional and courteous. Workers were thorough and did work quickly. We made all arrangements through the Alexandria showroom in one visit. Highly recommended.

The service provider was great. There were a few hiccups (as to be expected) but, overall, they were great and I would use them again.

It was a pleasure dealing with GBC from start to finish. Everyone involved was very personable and professional, beginning with our designer, Koksal. He came to our home, discussed our needs and expectations, took measurements and followed up promptly with an itemized proposal, complete with design drawings. It was so helpful to have all of this information as a starting point for the project and was the most complete proposal we received from any of the contractors we interviewed. Koksal was extremely patient and helpful as we worked to finalize the design and the scope and details for the remodel. We added some things to the project after it started, and GBC was very accommodating. The workers who did the remodel were skilled and respectful of our home and kept us informed each day about the work they were doing. There were some materials delays beyond GBC's control, but other than that everything proceeded on schedule. I am a perfectionist, and GBC did everything necessary to ensure I was 100% satisfied down to the last detail. They did a great job at a reasonable price. Our new kitchen is beautiful, and we we love it!

GBC remodeled our kitchen and one of the bathrooms about 3 years ago. We have a small kitchen, but after the remodel we definitely gained more space and the usage was amazing. Bathroom is impressive too. They took out the bath tub per our request and installed very elegant shower. This year in September, GBC remodeled our other bathroom. It felt good working with a familiar place we have had in our house before. Osman, the same supervisor we had with our earlier project, made all necessary arrangements to start our bath remodel. We got good help though through out the material selection. There was just a little delay due to the shower glass, which was on back order of the vendor. But as soon as GBC received the remaining items, the job was done in no time. Osman told us that GBC had to increase its technical and office staff, because they have been busier then ever. We were not surprised to hear that, as they really know what they are doing. GBC not only makes very efficient suggestion, but also understand the customer needs and heads towards satisfaction from the beginning on with its well trained staff. Customers who are looking for quality rather then inexpensive work, definitely should consider GBC. We are getting an estimate for a new sun room addition now from Osman. This project should take 3 weeks Osman says, and we may have it done before the end of the year or postpone it to next Spring... lets see. We can only recommend GBC, after all they did for us and keep referring them to our friends and family.

GBC has remodeled my kitchen, bathrooms and basement. I am a real estate agent and I have used them for over 10 years in every home I've ever owned and/or property sold.l I have recommended to countless clients and all of the feedback has been positive. They produce high-quality work at a very reasonable cost. Their workers are reliable and courteous. I will recommend GBC to anyone I know.

Solicited 4 bids from highly-rated Angile's list contractors. We selected GBC, whose proposed estimate was competitive with the other four bids. However, GBC stood out because they offered "one-stop shopping" in their showroom for the customer---meaning, within the proposed estimate provided (which included full labor, materials, and selection of granite, tile, vanity, etc), we could go to their showroom and select the floor tile, granite, vanity, shower tile/door and accessories as well as the design/layout for the bathroom remodel. When we wanted a granite vanity top upgrade from what was included in the initial estimate, GBC easily adjusted the estimated contract price to include the upgrades. When we had fully agreed on all selections, GBC finalized the contract and we signed. The total cost of our master bath remodel was exactly that quoted on the contract. There were no surprises/hidden costs. This process was made so easy---we could select the items/design we wanted; we didn't have to compute estimated product costs on top of labor costs already provided by the contractor. Work began 1 week later, on schedule, with demolition of the existing bathroom. The first day of demolition, the crew showed up on time with the project manager and started work right away. The GBC manager (Koksal) told us from the very beginning to tell the crew what/how we wanted it and they would be responsive... and he was right! The crew asked a lot of questions to ensure that they were installing the items where/how we wanted them. GBC crews went out of their way to hang plastic in the master bedroom and lay down plastic on all carpets to minimize the dust and protect the carpets. They were in our house for about 3 1/2 weeks; showed up every morning to work and worked late into the day. They were an outstanding team! Any concerns that we had were addressed/fixed immediately---any "punch out" items noted after the remodel was completed were quickly addressed. We LOVE our new bathroom!! We would definitely recommend GBC to our friends and other Angie's List customers.

We had GBC to install full cabinet sets and granite counter-top in both our kitchen and bathroom. I strongly believe that it was a very good and wise decision to chose them as my contractor especially after I saw the quality of the job that they produced. They did a phenomenal job and it has worked out so well for us. The basement kitchen and bathroom cabinets are of very good quality along with the beautiful granite counter-top. One of our friends have used GBC for quite a big size kitchen remodeling. when we visited GBC's showroom and talked to Osman, all of our questions were answered and no questions marks left in our minds. He was very professional and ethical. He gave us all kinds of options with pros and cons in a very open and honest manner. He sounded very experienced and we could feel he knew this business and industry pretty well. As soon as Osman printed and emailed the contract, we received a project start date. Everything was so well organized and managed. They were very careful when they brought the cabinets and granite counter-top. And they installed them very carefully and well. We would definitely recommend them -- they do quality work, they clean their job site every day, and they completed the project on time. Comparing to other contractors or showrooms, we realized that GBC is using quality, not only in their material but as well for the man power. My wife thought the price was a little too high. But after all GBC has done, it was worth every penny. Thank you for a job Great done!

I heard about GBC almost three years ago from a friend who has remodeled his home prior to moving in. Because he was so impressed with them, my wife and I decided to go and visit their showroom in Alexandria. There seemed to be quiet a big selection in the showroom. We met with Nili and asked if we could schedule an estimate for our kitchen and she offered a free in-home consultation. Osman, the designer, came out and measured the whole kitchen. Two days later, he called and said he emailed the kitchen estimate along with a few pictures to visualize our kitchen after remodel. It was impressive how fast and steady they seemed working. Nili followed up by emails asking if we have any questions. At that time, we could not move forward with the remodeling due to many things that came up. This year, when we decided to move forward with the remodeling, we contacted GBC again. We went to their showroom and found the same people there, just 3 years later. It felt good dealing with people that knew about you and your project. It is impressive to see the same people with the company even after 3 years. Osman still had the design and specs. We made few adjustments and scheduled the start date. They also did their best to honor the price that they'd given 3 years ago. There was only a small increase because of increase in material prices. We did expect that so it wasn't an issue. Our kitchen remodeling turned out pretty nice. The technicians with supervisor Fauzi stopped by our house to supervise the project almost daily. They really went above and beyond what they were supposed to do and accommodated my unplanned/on-the-spot requests. It was really nice to work with a team that was flexible and ready to do whatever is necessary to please the customer. Nili called or emailed periodically to check if everything is coming along. All in all, we are very impressed and happy and feel fortunate to have worked with GBC! We recommend them to all our friends. Thanks GBC for a wonderful job done!
