Get matched with top grab bar installation pros in Glen Echo, MD

"DMV Kitchen and Bath RECOMMENDATION 2023 March In December 2022-January 2023, DMV Kitchen and Bath completely gutted and rebuilt 2 bathrooms for me (foundation, pipes, electric – everything). In addition, they restored several 110 year-old door transoms, installed new doors (5 panel solid wood) throughout the house, upgraded some woodwork, installed two pocket doors, and painted a few rooms. We used high quality materials throughout, not builder-grade. This is the third time I’ve asked DMV Kitchen and Bath to do a major renovation in one of my properties over the last 10 years. Each time they have done superior work when it comes to: • Doing service properly on first try • Promptness • Letting you know cost early • Neatness of work • Pleasantness • Advice on service options and costs • Overall quality • Prices I cannot recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath more highly. All three times, it’s been a hassle-free experience with excellent results. They’ve exceeded my (high) expectations every time."

"Hired HandyPro to install shower bench, 18" grab bar and a stainless steel flip-up grab bar in the master bath. I appreciated the detailed consultation and explanation of equipment options. Once I made a decision on the extent of the modification, the equipment arrived and work began about a week later. There was a glitch with the ordered equipment but the situation was resolved quickly and I am so happy with the finished product. I will definitely call on them again for more hom modifications."

"WaterStone did a complete remodel of our smallish master bathroom (9' by 9'). They were responsible for all aspects of the project including design, permitting, materials and construction. We had an initial budgetary estimate of 30 to 35K for what we wanted. Other companies either told us the design we wanted (which required relocating plumbing and electrical) was either infeasible or way above our budgetary estimate. Jeff came in, listened to what we wanted and gave us design options that met our needs. After a couple of iterations, we settled on a design and Jeff provided an estimate from $32K to 38K depending on our material selections. He gave us a range of material allowances that were actually reasonable. Ultimately, the contract was executed for just under 38K - no overruns!. Jeff and Deanna helped us make the material selections while keeping us within budget (we went over some allowances and under others). We did not have to make any compromises on our vision for the bathroom. The project was finished in 8 weeks vice the proposed 5 to 6 weeks due mainly to a more difficult than expected demolition and the lead time for the shower glass. Jeff (owner), Deanna (designer), Jake (project manager) and Javier (on site project lead) were personable and easy to deal with. As usual with a project of this magnitude, there were a couple of hiccups along the way. The measure of a contractor is not the issues they have but how quickly and effectively they resolve the issues and WaterStone was topnotch in that regard. Problems were addressed and fixed right away. Two stories that demonstrate why we liked working with WaterStone so much: 1) we wanted quartz countertops but bathroom vanities usually require much less than a full slab. When their normal stone supplier would only quote a full slab which was way over our budget, WaterStone called several other suppliers and found one with a remnant that would meet our needs and would not break the budget; and 2) the glass supplier raised some issues about our proposed design for the shower glass and we started down the path of an alternate, much more expensive design. When Jeff heard, he came over immediately and talked us off the ledge about our concerns with the original design, ultimately saving us from a costly design change. WaterStone designed and built a bathroom that matched our vision for the price we were quoted. We've been using the bathroom for about 6 months now with no problems or issues. The workmanship from the crafts (plumbing, electrical, tile, glass) is superb. They respected our house and minimized any disruption (we slept in our master bedroom throughout the renovation). WaterStone is a gem."

"These people did a fantastic job with my modular ramp. If needed I would hire them again."

"Outstand service. Installation of a cooling unit in a wine cellar. Quite complicated and the tech Chris Grothe had to improvise to as it was replacing a different kind of unit. Very profession, very safe and very careful in all of his work. Cleaned up after he was done. (cleaner than when he arrived). Workmanship was perfect. Would definated use them for all future jobs and would ask for Chris."

"Wonderful experience with Calix Carpentry! Would definitely recommend. Very professional, job was done timely and on budget!"

"This was a great experience from beginning to end. Within 24 hours of my purchasing the bathroom remodel deal on Angie's list, Jennifer DePollar from Chevy Chase Remodeling contacted me to set up our initial consultation appointment with Steven DePollar. Steven came out and completed measurements on my bathroom and went over everything with me in great detail. That very evening he emailed me my bathroom's specific measurments and a list of things for me to pick out to go into our new bathroom. I went online and picked out everything I wanted- which took me a week or so. Along the way I had some questions and both Jennifer and Steve were always available to answer them right away. They even proactively checked in with me to see if I needed help picking out any of the items on the list. Once I submitted my list, they contacted me to let me know that they would be calling me to schedule the project itself once everything was ordered. Shortly thereafter, they called to get me scheduled just as they said they would. During the project itself, everything went great! The work crew was on time every morning and worked hard each day- they cleaned up any debris left behind at the end of each day, so my home was always nice and clean after they left. They did an amazing job and answered every question I had along the way. They were even willing to install a new faucet on my kitchen sink and a new toilet in my basement bathroom, which was not the one being renovated. They also went above and beyond to install my bathtub, as I picked out a special jacuzzi tub instead of a standard one. During the very last day of the project, I was reading up on the jacuzzi tub and realized that the heating unit for the air jets was sold separately. I really wanted that unit and did not realize it was not built into the tub until literally the last day of the project. I called Steven that same day in a panic about it, thinking that it would take another few days to get that ordered and installed, because not only was it last minute, but it happened to be a Saturday. Imagine my surprise when I got home from work that afternoon to discover that they had made a special trip to the store that very day to buy the heating unit and had already installed it! I was so happy. They even bought me a new shower curtain rod while at the store, something I had forgotten to get on my own. As for the bathroom itself? The end product is beautiful. I could not be happier. It is now everyone's favorite room in the whole house!! It is just gorgeous. Even my dog loves it!! We are really enjoying it. I would recommend Chevy Chase Remodeling 110% and will definitely use them again for any future home improvement projects we may have. Update: This job was completed mid August. Today is October 1st. Thursday night (September 29) we noticed a leak from the pipes in the basement ceiling that occurred when we drained the bathtub. I called Chevy Chase Remodeling, and even though it was almost 9pm, Jennifer answered the phone! I was so glad she was there. She assured me that Steven would contact me the next morning regarding the leak. I took a short video clip and emailed it to them. Steven did call me back Friday morning (yesterday) and told me he would indeed send a plumber out as soon as he could, with it being the weekend it is hard to find someone on short notice, but he did! As I sit here typing this, the plumber Steven sent to me is here fixing the leak. Here's the amazing thing... this leak is occurring on a pipe that Steven and his crew did not work on or install during the bathroom renovation... yet he was still willing to help me and found me a plumber to fix it right away!! How's that for AMAZING customer service?? It wasn't even a leak associated with the job that they did, yet Steven & Jennifer still went out of their way to help me. It turns out that the leak was a blessing in disguise as the plumber discovered a stress crack in the main sewage line inside of my house! Yikes!!! Had that burst, it would've been a nightmare!! So not only is he fixing the leak, he's replacing that portion of my sewage pipe as well. That little leak just prevented us from having a huge problem down the road! A big thank you to Steven and Jennifer DePollar!!! And to your crew!! You guys are amazing, and have restored my faith in customer service. I couldn't be happier. Every time I had a question, I was able to reach out and get in contact with either Steven or Jennifer right away, and they always took care of my concerns. Thanks again, Chevy Chase Remodeling! I am one happy customer!! Please see my photos included of my new bathroom."

"Naveed is a very professional contractor. He always returns your text or calls back on time. When he was contracted to do few plumbing items at my home, he came on time with this team, followed our guidelines of no shoes inside the home and completed all work professionally. One of the tasks had a scope creep since he did not realize he had to remove closet to access the plumbing and he did not change the fees for that job. He also fixed my minor bathroom shower leak at no charge while performing another job in that bathroom. All in all, I would recommend Naveed and would call him again for my contracting needs."

"Ronal and his team did an amazing job! I hired them to repair and complete and unacceptable tile installation by another contractor and they made me regret hiring the other guy all together!! The workmanship was top notch and the finished product is a delight to look at. They are also proficient with drywall repair and finishing and any bath fixture removal and installation. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for any type of renovation work. Their pricing is affordable and they are always willing to go that extra mile to make sure the job is installed correctly. Thank you Penate team!!"

"I needed to replace a window air conditioner on the second floor. The installer was very professional and explained things. He was careful and measured for perfect alignment before and during installation. He was very courteous, tidy and cleaned up everything. I highly recommend him as a great pro!"
