Remodeler reviews across the US

Dean is a long time customer, so we were familiar with his work. We asked him to modify and update some of our counter space. His crew completed the job perfectly and in short order. Thanks Dean.

5-star operation. Dean and his crew were professional and responsive from the get go. They installed new quartz countertops on our existing cabinets - which is something most contractors scoff at because it's not easy to do. Case in point: they ran into an issue with the cabinets being out of level. Instead of doing what cheap "hit and run" contractors would do (ignore it, throw the backsplash up, collect final payment and start screening my phone calls once I noticed the mistake), Dean did it the right way on his own dime. I can't say enough about these guys and would recommend them to anyone looking for interior remodeling.

Dean recently managed our bathroom remodels. His eye for design and attention to detail opened us to ideas we would have never thought of. Backed by talented and professional craftsmen, our bathrooms are more than we could have ever imagined! Thank you Dean!!

We had DMV do a complete (down to the frame) master bathroom remodel for us in fall 2022. All I can say is WOW! What a difference from our original 25-year-old bathroom. I was thoroughly impressed by every one of the workers’ professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship. They are all top notch in their craft. Dean was extremely responsive and in constant communication with us throughout the entire project. He was also extremely accommodating with modifications to the project along the way. Because of DMV’s flexibility and customer service, we got the bathroom done exactly the way we wanted it and couldn’t be happier. We liked the bathroom work so much; we are also doing a complete kitchen remodel with DMV. I would highly recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath to anyone who wants a high-end remodel of a bathroom or kitchen.

Dean and his team performed a full kitchen tear out remodel for us this summer. We ordered manufactured cabinets for this project to ensure long lasting durability with four small children in the house. The quality of the cabinets are excellent. All trades played large roles in relocating electrical, gas, plumbing, and appliances without issue. Dean's tile and countertop trades both did an exceptional job installing a beautiful finished product.

They also completed a master bathroom remodel before the kitchen. Again, finished product is amazing. The floor to ceiling large format tile, shower, floor tile work and countertops turned out beautiful. We had shop built cabinets installed in the bathroom and they turned out awesome.

As with all large remodel projects, we ran into some challenges and unforeseen items along the way, but Dean and his team were always quick to respond. They came up with creative solutions and fixed any issues we had quickly.

I highly recommend DMV Kitchen & Bath if you're interested in quality, honesty and an exceptional finished product. Just know, you get what you pay for.

Dean was very knowledgeable about remodeling and made some helpful suggestions. My granite is beautiful, and our kitchen had some issues that DMV worked through with ease. They are local and easy to work with.

Dean Fridy did our remodel of the kitchen and baths and is/are holding up well.
Dean was here or called/ texted almost every day of the project, as scheduled.
His crews were Great, on schedule and excellent quality work.
I do recommend getting any other bids before calling Dean.

DMV does high quality work. We appreciated the detail oriented focus. All the workers were fantastic. We especially appreciated Johnny and all his hard work. Dean was always available for questions. The only downside was the cost. Our all in cost was about 30% over the original estimate. Overall, we are very pleased with our new bathroom.

Five years ago we hired Dean and his team to remodel our bathroom. We were so impressed with the results that we asked him to do our kitchen, with one caveat, we need it done by Thanksgiving, this was early October……not only did he pull it of, it looked amazing. 5 years later our bathroom and kitchen still look awesome. The classic look is timeless and the great workmanship says it all.

Dean and his excellent crew at DMV transformed our very small bathroom with a tub into a beautiful ADA compliant bath with an amazing walk-in shower that has a bench and grab bars so people with all degrees of mobility can shower safely.
Dean and his craftsmen were very patient with me as I maneuvered my way in my first ever remodeling project. The workers patiently listened as I questioned the height of the pony wall and whether the pocket door needed to be solid core after the hollow core door was in. Then, they quickly made these changes happen.
There were cost overruns due to the old original plumbing needing to be replaced. But, the changes and cost were after our approval. We are excited and happy that the old pipes have been replaced, something we knew was in our future.
I'd like to thank Dean and all his craftsmen for their professional expertise, their good natured presence, and their respect for other parts of the house as they were working in and out of the bathroom.

I recently had DMV Kitchen & Bath, LLC remodel my primary bathroom, and I am very very happy with the results. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the execution of every detail was handled with great care. The team was professional and meticulous, ensuring that nothing needed to be redone. The photos truly speak for themselves - the results are outstanding!

While there were a few minor hiccups along the way (and there always are!), I appreciate the care, dedication, and effort put into making my home look beautiful. Thank you for a job well done! The trim work is my favorite part. Scott did an amazing job with all of his hard work and experience.

Quality construction, solid craftsmanship, stays on top of the project. Affordable quotes, but doesn't cut corners on the delivery. What more could you ask for! Thank you so much DMV- Dean is the best!

DMV Kitchen & Bath just finished the final punchlist items from remodeling both my primary and hall bathrooms. Both new showers are ADA compliant for accessibility with zero entries. Their craftspeople were superb and efficient, working with a detailed eye as though it was their own home. Each craft laid out protective floor covers and worked clean as they went. The finished product in the primary bath is what you see in these photos, from the new shower to the custom cabinet now filling the space from the old shower.
Dean Fridy, head contractor, offered astute, well thought out design assistance on each phase of the job. His assistant, Jonny, saw to every minute detail of the project from beginning to end. Everyone associated with the work had an attentive, positive attitude, affording confidence in the job they were doing for me.

I would highly recommend DMV Kitchen & Bath to anyone looking to improve their living space. Next, I will be calling them to update my kitchen. Hopefully, they will be busy working your projects, so I will have to get on the schedule soon!

We used DMV for our complete bathroom remodel including beautiful custom tile work, natural stone countertops and flooring. The remodel includes a new room layout, custom-built vanity and upgraded plumbing and electrical features. Dean Fridy, a gifted designer, and Jonny, his skilled assistant, provided daily site visits to ensure the smooth coordination and scheduling of the work crews. The crews were professional, attentive to details and exhibited true craftmanship. Each day they prepared to protect the home with drop cloths, cleaned up after their workday and removed all debris each day. We were comfortable with DMV and their crews in our home and will do more projects together in the future.

We've used DMV on several occasions including a repiping of the entire house with PEX, installing a tankless water heater, tile floors throughout and a complete kitchen remodel. Dean and his team are some of the best people I've worked with and would highly recommend them.

We've got a 1955 Mid-century Ranch Style home in Willow Meadows and keeping it period authentic was key during the remodel. Dean was actively engaged and assembled a crew of craftsmen that delivered on the vision.

No project goes perfectly. A real partner is one that jumps in the ditch with you and gets it back on track. DMV has proven to be that partner again and again.

After having DMV do a complete redo of our master bathroom last fall, we had them come back and do an entire remodel of our 26-year old kitchen. The finished kitchen is everything we could have imagined with significantly more cabinet space and a more efficient layout. Dean was patient with us when we were making our tile and paint selections as it took us numerous iterations of ideas before we finally decided on exactly what we wanted. Although the process may have taken a while, we are extremely pleased by the end result. As before with our master bathroom, all of the workers did an outstanding and thorough job. We were extremely pleased with their attention to detail and customer service. Once again, I would recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath to anyone who is willing to spend what it takes to get a top-of-the-line kitchen or bath remodel done.

I recently had DMV complete a complete “gut out” and make over of my 30 year old kitchen into a complete kitchen paradise. From initial design to signing the contract throughout the entire demolition and rebuild process, I witnessed Dean’s crew of contractors turn my old antiquated kitchen from the 90’s into a modern kitchen that will service my family for years to come.

As a widower, I relied on Dean for help with in picking everything from wall paint, backsplash and floor tile and many other things. He helped me realize my vision of a massive island where my kids and I can gather for breakfast or any other meal and just hang out. From the moment I signed the contract until completion, his attention to detail and organization has been astounding. Everything flowed perfectly for us. In this climate of supply chain issues he managed to get everything delivered on time. We even decided to paint the living room to match the kitchen so it all flows and his crew was able to do that as well even though it wasn’t part of the job. His crew was also good in pointing out things that needed to be repaired that I hadn’t seen but were crucial for a successful kitchen job.

Don’t be fooled, a kitchen renovation is not cheap these days when you want the best and a good job completed in really good time. You’re not just picking Dean, he is picking you as well.

I agree with other reviews that if you are willing to spend the money then DMV is the perfect choice and you will avoid nightmares.

Update: Our new upstairs master bath is complete, and we are in the middle of the kitchen and downstairs master bath remodel. We couldn’t be more thankful or happier with the outcome of our upstairs bathroom. It is even more beautiful than we imagined, and we are in awe of the DMV team.

We expected to feel completely overwhelmed and uncomfortable during this extremely large remodel of our home, but Dean and his team have gone above and beyond to make us feel cared for and comfortable. We have enjoyed every person that has entered our home, and we have no worries or concerns about the final results. We will update again soon!

First post: We hired Dean and his team to complete a large kitchen and multiple bath remodel after careful thought and consideration. He and his team have continued to be friendly, professional and thorough throughout the planning and preparation process. We are so happy to report that our first day of demolition is complete, and they left the workspace clean and tidy.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Upon deciding that it was time for a new kitchen, we quickly found it to be a daunting experience. After quite a bit of shopping around and interviewing many disappointing contractors, we finally found DMV. We became fast friends and teammates. They got us started and got us finished.

Our experience with Dean, Jonny, and the rest of the team was top notch from the very beginning. They are local, passionate about their work, flexible, and committed to their customer's requests.

Dean and the team worked closely and patiently with us, supporting us in transitioning from simply wanting "a new kitchen" to us having a vision for our dream kitchen.

DMV got our creative juices flowing, provided some loose structure to think against, got us excited and engaged, and together we laid down some basics to kick off the project. From there we nailed down design decisions in a carefully curated and systematic (but not overwhelming!) way as we proceeded through the project. This minimized analysis paralysis and decision stress, making the project more bite sized.

The project scope ran from gut job to comprehensive completion. This all ran smoothly. There were a couple normal hiccups along the way related to my 1988 home and supply chain, but at each issue DMV had a clear explanation and a proposed way forward.

Dean helped us explore our creative limits and led a fantastic execution. This is no cookie cutter kitchen.

10/10 kitchen, bathrooms are next!

Wow! DMV Kitchen & Bath has completed a 2nd job (see review below for our bathroom remodel) for us and we could not be happier. Our new kitchen is both highly functional and quite beautiful. Dean at DMV coordinates a cadre of highly skilled tradesmen who take pride in their work and thus deliver a quality product. Dean also has a knack for blending color, texture and pattern to create an artful space. Yes, we spent more on this project than we originally intended, but the results are worth every penny!. We are ready now for the holidays. We will be entertaining family and friends in a wonderful new space. Thanks, Dean!
DMV Kitchen & Bath was the right choice for our project. Dean was very understanding of our wants and needs for special ADA features and was also helpful with color selections & pattern coordination. His team of tradesmen were all skilled professionals. Dean was very interactive in the project; on-site daily & always available by phone. DMV Kitchen & Bath's efforts are very appreciated!

I recently had DMV remodel my main bathroom and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you want quality craftsmanship and excellent service, then you should consider DMV. Dean was easy to work with and was committed to making your job exactly what you want. I normally do all this type of work myself I have high standards as to what would be acceptable for me to hire someone to come into my house and do remodeling for me. Dean delivered on this. Dean only works with tradesmen that he knows well and knows the type of quality work he can expect from them. All the workers that came to our house were polite and respectful, they were careful to protect our floors and cleaned up after themselves every day. If you are looking for quality craftsmanship and a beautiful result, then you should call Dean Fridy at DMV.
