"A huge thank you to Dan and his team at The Kitchen & Bath Studio in Gaithersburg for a superb job. I needed a toilet replaced, a tub faucet replaced and a shower spout replaced. The tub faucet wasn't easy and involved removing a piece of tile to access the faucet. Not only did they remove the existing tile without ruining the surrounding tiles, but a new tile was expertly replaced and looks like it was always there. They were friendly, the workmanship was great and they cleaned up before they left. I highly recommend The Kitchen & Bath Studio for all your remodeling needs!"

Custom Design Tile is a full scale kitchen and bathroom remodeling company that builds from a basis of quality, doing it the right way, high standards of customer service, showing up on time, and staying to finish the job. Custom Design Tile has never missed a promised completion date. You will become aware of a sense of wholesomeness and integrity from your first meeting because Custom Design Tile instills quality standards into all the aspects and elements of this proven, thirty-year-old business. Custom Design Tile’s expertise in home renovation is extensive. Brian has bought, renovated and sold Twenty of his own homes.

"Note that I selected and purchased the light, mirror, medicine cabinet, and accessories (towel bars, grab bars, et al.), which added $3,500 to my cost. Most of that amount was for brass accessories ordered from a boutique manufacturer. I have no doubt the amount would have been substantially less had I gone with mainstream, off-the-shelf items. My initial meeting with Mike Brennan, CDT’s CEO, was characterized by an open and very comfortable discussion of my goals, the selection process, where I would take responsibility for item procurements, and the demolition and construction processes. I was struck by the impression that CDT would be very easy to work with, and I wasn’t disappointed. (The other provider I spoke with never called me back.) A major benefit of working with Mike is that he guides customers through visits with four vendors to select tiles, components (e.g., tub and sink), the vanity, and the countertop. That “excursion” took about four hours. (In contrast, I perseverated for weeks over the items I was responsible for.) The renovation took about two weeks. As disruptive as renovations might be, this one proceeded pretty much as planned, and the inevitable hiccups that occurred were easily taken in stride. During this time, two of CDT’s crews worked on different aspects of the project. These people were knowledgeable, experienced, proficient, courteous, and respectful. The resulting renovation is beautiful! I highly recommend CDT for renovation projects, and I plan to use them in the next couple of years for kitchen upgrades that I’m starting to plan for."

Bull Run Kitchen and Bath is a family owned and operated business serving the VA metropolitan areas. We are dedicated to providing professional service and work hard to ensure that our clients needs are being met on time and on budget.

"Bull Run Kitchen and Bath completed two bathroom renovations in my home. They did an excellent job. The designer, Salih Coskun, went above and beyond from start to finish. In many ways he served as the project manager, never overlooking any detail. I am very grateful for his dedication and creative eye. The workers were wonderful. They did exacting work and the results were fabulous. The weakest link was the actual project manager, Murat, who did not do a good job of planning when to order supplies or scheduling which resulted in the project taking much too long to finish. The results, however, compensated for the process. Everyone who has seen the bathrooms has raved about them. They are truly gorgeous."

Blue Isle Granite & Tile is a family-owned company based in Northern Virginia. We care about our clients and provide dependable quality service. As our own first customer, we wouldn't do anything to your home that we wouldn't do to our own. Our hallmark is our exceptional service - we will work until our customers are satisfied. Award wining.

"In the middle of some kitchen renovations, we learned that a sink that we had bought to replace the existing sink was too large for the hole in our granite countertop. This was only after the old sink had been pulled out so we were without a functioning kitchen sink. I called Blue Isle on the afternoon of August 5 and spoke to co-owner Tamara who promised to speak with Ike, the other co-owner, to see if they would be able to cut the countertop in place so that the new sink could be installed. Tamara called me back in less than 15 minutes and confirmed that they could do the job the following afternoon. On August 6, Ike came on time with a two man crew and went to work. He measured the new sink and the space where it would have to go and commenced cutting. Within an hour, the job was done, the sink was fitting properly into the countertop, and Ike and his crew had cleaned up the dust created by the cutting operation. Blue Isle's responsiveness and quality of work were both excellent. We would use them for other stone and tile work without question."

"I claimed one of the “2 Toilet Tune-Up” Angi’s special with 4 Service Pros (Snell). When I contacted Snell I talked with a very nice lady who scheduled me to get 2 plumbers to come out the next day from Noon - 4pm. I was told they would call 20 minutes to 30 minutes before hand to let me know they were coming. I waited from Noon to 4:05pm, never received a phone call, and so I called Snell to find out if my plumbers were still coming. I was told that there was an emergency situation in Chantilly, VA, that required my 2 plumbers to go to Chantilly instead of my place that morning. I understand emergencies do happen, but Snell knew that my plumbers were needed for that major Chantilly, VA, leak from the morning. They should have called me once they found out that my assigned plumbers would not be able to come out to my place within my scheduled time appointment. I should not have had to wait from noon to 4pm and then have to call them to find out that they were not coming. I rescheduled with them, and set another appointment for the next day The next day Brandon Thomas came out, and he was outstanding. He is very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and a very good plumber. My problems turned out to be quite different than I originally had thought and he explained my options. I went with the option that he recommended and am very happy with the results. He also gave me discounts to help make-up for my inconvenience for having to re-schedule the appointment. I definitely recommend Snell (4 Service Pros) to all my friends and family."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Quartz is one of the best countertop materials because it strikes a great balance between durability, aesthetics, and cost. Quartz is more affordable than materials like granite or marble, and it lasts longer and resists damage better than just about any other material, including laminate, concrete, wood, marble, and even granite. Many homeowners prefer the appearance of a more natural granite or marble countertop, though, and while both of these materials tend to be more expensive, their desirable appearance might make them a better option for your home.

Whether or not you can replace an undermount sink without removing the countertop depends on the type of countertop you have. Removing an old sink from granite countertops is relatively easy without removing the countertop, but other materials like laminate, or unusually shaped countertops, may need to be removed or modified.

While Caesarstone countertops are heat-resistant, placing hot pots directly on them is not recommended. Extreme heat can cause thermal shock, potentially leading to cracks or discoloration. Always use trivets or heat pads to protect the surface and maintain its appearance and integrity. This precaution helps ensure the longevity of your Caesarstone countertop.

Engineered stone countertops range in price between $60 and $200 per square foot. The three main types are quartz, recycled glass, and sintered stone. The most affordable is sintered stone, which is ideal for outdoor kitchens and costs $60 to $100 per square foot.

Recycled glass countertops fall in the middle at $65 to $140 per square foot and offer a very distinct look. Meanwhile, quartz counters are on the higher end of the price range at $50 to $200 per square foot. Popular quartz options mimic the look of natural stones like marble and granite.

Painting your countertops is a good idea if you want to spruce up your kitchen or bathroom without having to install brand-new counters. It's also cost-effective, and it's a project that most DIYers can take on. Since there are so many paint colors to choose from, you'll be able to easily customize your countertops to fit your home's aesthetic.
