Get matched with top grab bar installation pros in Poolesville, 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."

"Before my 96-year-old father moved in with us, I contacted Handypro of Washington to assess our house for needed safety modifications. Ali came out and walked through the house, listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and proposed helpful modifications. Despite me changing my mind a few times as to which modifications I wanted done, Ali accommodated me without complaint. His crew efficiently installed an attractive grip bar in my raised foyer (above the step into the kitchen), 2 grab bars in the shower, and a handrail for my garage steps. My father uses them all today, which gives me much peace of mind. For future modifications/installations (possibly a chairlift and a second handrail for the basement stairs), I will call Ali and Handypro again. I am pleased with their work!"

"Calix provided us with excellent and highly skilled carpentry services on multiple occasions. They’ve done several projects for us now, including replacing a bannister on our stairs (which included a new hand rail design), replacing a step on our indoor stairs as well as our gazebo outside, and designing and building a set of built-in shelves and cabinets. Carlos’s work is extremely high quality. He has excellent attention to detail and is very professional and timely. We happily and gladly recommend him for any carpentry services."

"Allen and Jeff did all the work themselves. They arrived everyday at a set time, which they texted before they arrived, and left 8+ hours later. They ate their lunch on the job. It was obvious they had certain goals for their work each day. They included us in everything from where to place toilet, sink and grab bars to color, etc. They made recommendations for purchasing sinks, counter tops, etc, but let us choose how to purchase, through them or us. They showed us exactly what they were doing every step of the way. They checked every measurement to carefully lay tile, floor, hang vanity and dry wall, even using a level to hang shower curtain rod. We had complete confidence in their work. I never felt that I had to check on how they were doing things, which was a first for work done in our homes. We highly recommend ARMS Home Improvement for any job at your home. We recommended them to our daughter for her future projects."

"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!!"

"Our sump pump failed during the hurricane in August 2011, so we had drywall damage (2 feet up from the floor), ruined floorboards, ruined tile and carpet, and damaged closet and bathroom doors. In addition, because it had taken so long for the insurance company to send someone out to our house, we had significant mold behind the damaged drywall. We called several companies, including those recommended by our insurance company, and nobody would work with us because a) we had mold behind our drywall and b) we were dealing with an insurance claim. Because our estimate was in the $15,000 range, we not only had to wait on the insurance company to issue our check, but we also had to go through an arduous process with our bank to release the funds. We were starting to get desperate, as we have an infant and didn't want her in a house with mold.

We decided to call Devin after reading his ratings on Angie's List. From the word go, Devin was 100 percent on board. He wasn't afraid to deal with mold, and when I told him about the insurance/bank obstacles, he was totally willing to be patient and work with us. He's had prior experience working with insurance companies, and he told us he was more than willing to wait. He then showed up the next day to check the damage. Devin first insisted on removing the damaged drywall immediately, even though we had no money to give him and no sign that we'd be getting it any time soon. He told us that he was most concerned about having the mold in the house with our daughter, and he told us he'd remove the damaged drywall prior to even developing his quote. Three days later, his crew arrived and removed all of the damaged drywall and tile. It was such a relief to have the mold out of our house!

Devin then quickly brought in contractors to provide us with his estimate. He knew that our insurance company had initially quoted a $10,000 job, but he noted that they didn't quote the cost of several other tasks that needed to be done in order to restore our basement, such as the seams along the corners of the walls. Thus, when he presented us with his $15,000 estimate, I was pretty nervous. I didn't know whether the insurance company would approve it. However, Devin was confident that they'd accept it, because he had documented every cost in the quote, explained his rationale, and taken pictures to support his claims. Happily, the insurance company readily accepted his quote, explaining to us that they agreed with his estimates. Finally, we could proceed with the work and also submit the required paperwork so that we could pay Devin. Keep in mind this entire time, he had yet to receive a dime!

Another thing that the insurance company had failed to do in its report is account for the "sweat equity" that my husband had put into the basement. He removed and disposed of all of the damaged carpet, and he also moved all of our items out of the basement. Devin was eager and willing to build those costs into his contract so that once the insurance company accepted the quote, he could then subtract those costs from our final bill. Since we had a $1000 deductible, that allowed us to cut our out-of-pocket cost in half!

Devin and his crew started their work in December, with a delay only due to the fact that we were waiting on paperwork from the bank. They finished the job in one quick week- replaced the drywall, tile, carpet, closet and bathroom doors, and painted the entire basement. For an 860-square-foot basement, that's a lot of work, and they made it look easy! Devin was on site at least every other day, if not daily, to check the work of his contractors and ensure that the work was progressing. His crew was polite and friendly, and if it weren't for the noise, we wouldn't have known they were there. They completed their work, with Devin only receiving our deductible and the first installment from the insurance company. And the basement looks even better than it did prior to the flood! The quality of the work is evident, and we are thrilled with the results. As of my posting date, Devin has yet to receive the bulk of his funds due to the incredibly slow process, and yet he has been totally flexible and willing to wait. I don't know of many other contractors who would be so willing to wait on $10,000 worth of funds after the project has been completed!

I can't speak highly enough of Devin and his crew. From start to finish, he took the stress out of this process. As a young family starting out, we just didn't have the personal funds to advance a contractor the money. Devin took that stress away and agreed to work with us, no questions asked. He even helped us caulk some leaky windows and give us a sense of how to mitigate our water drainage situation, at no additional cost. You can tell that he cares about his clients and helping them solve their problems. I can guarantee that when we are in a position to remodel our sunroom and do other household repairs, I will be calling Devin at Marvel Homes to do the work for us!"

"Small mix up in scheduled time of arrival . Brian was very courteous and friendly . Kitchen install was very difficult due to rusted pipes and calcified washers. Even faced with tight spaces and very difficult rust, Brian persevered with out cursing or quitting . Thus showing great professionalism . The up stairs bath was similar in install , but all work was done in a timely manner which was a concern of the installer. He would explain that due to faulty original installation ( which he showed me first) why the job would take the time estimated before he began. Nice touch."

"It was a great experience. We are very happy with our new tub/shower. Quality materials and awesome service from beginning to end. Installation took a day and the installers were knowledgeable and had excellent customer service skills."
