Constraction reviews in Alexandria, Virginia

We wholeheartedly recommend Select Kitchen and Bath. As aging baby boomers, we faced the challenge of renovating our master bathroom to accommodate aging in place while also dreading the inevitable disruptions of a remodel. After reviewing five companies, we overwhelmingly chose Select Kitchen and Bath as the best fit.

Their team was exceptional. Amanda Lovejoy, our project designer, worked closely with us to create a thoughtful design that incorporated our requests for more storage, easy-to-maintain tile, lighted medicine cabinets, and additional lighting. John Marburger, our project manager, kept us informed every step of the way, providing updates on deliveries and the project's progress. He was always accessible, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive whenever we had concerns or questions.

Finally, Joe, the lead installer, and his team brought everything together flawlessly—from installing appliances and tile to painting, carpentry, and electrical work. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a beautifully renovated bathroom that we truly love and enjoy.

Select Kitchen & Bath did a fantastic job remodeling my bathroom. So professional and easy to work with. Very responsive to all questions and concerns. Rick, Amanda and Luis were so helpful from the start of the project to the end. The workmanship was excellent and they were VERY clean and considerate during the demolition and remodel. I can't say enough about the whole process. Thank you all so much. Highly recommended.

The short version of this review is we were very happy with the work Select Kitchen and Bath did for us and would not hesitate to use them again. Our project, which was completed in January 2025, consisted of a complete remodel of two full bathrooms which were vintage 1983. Amanda was our designer, Mark was the lead installer, and John was the project manager. All three of them provided welcome suggestions, good guidance and advice throughout the process… starting with clear and transparent service agreements. Select was very accommodating with scheduling and access to the house / workspaces. Questions were answered promptly by Amanda, Mark and John, and any concerns were addressed to our satisfaction. Our new bathrooms are great!

We could not be happier with the outcome of the master bathroom remodel. The process (from first consultation with Derek whose overall expertise in the business helped guide us to the best decisions concerning products and design); construction phase, final follow-through, and the constant attention to detail that both Luis (the craftsman who did the actual remodel) and Rick (the Project Manager who ensured a very smooth transition through every phase) displayed. While everyone at Select Kitchen & Bath that we had contact with was very professional and knowlegeable, we must highlight Luis as the star of the show. Luis arrived promptly every day, and executed every phase of construction with old world craftsmanship. He ensured that there was never any uncertainty during the project - when there were questions as to what we wanted (such as handle heights, hardware location, etc), he would always check with us before moving forward; we were never surprised. At the end of every day, Luis would leave the work area meticulously clean, and ready for the next day. We would highly recommend Select Kitchen & Bath for your bathroom projects without hesitation. An outstandingly excellent job.

Highly recommend Select: I looked at 10 cos for my small reno, interviewed 5 and they were far and away the best. Very creative initial meeting to discuss options, extraordinary workmanship by our crew of Alvaro and Jorge, and numerous visits to check in by owner, Rick. Reasonable cost for what was done - I typically select the median price - and the work was completed on time. My project was "surgical: we removed portions of walls to open up a colonial home (while we were living here) so likely more difficult than starting from scratch. Wonderful, seamless experience.

Select Kitchen and Bath did a complete kitchen remodeling including replacing 40 year-old wiring, redesigning the location of appliances to provide 50% more counter space, installing a new ceiling with recessed LED lighting, installing new and expanded cabinetry and adding granite countertops. In addition they installed all the new appliances we purchased. They stayed on schedule (6 weeks) and on budget. We are extremely happy with the results.

too long, didn't read: Would use again and recommend to friends and family.

I required a bathroom repair (water leak required toilet to be removed and existing tile was removed) on my main floor bathroom. Rather than trying to match the remaining tile and have a repair job, we ended up deciding on doing a full remodel. I interviewed approximately 5 contractors in the area and went with Select Kitchen and Bath. They were extremely knowledgeable, and guided us through the entire process.

In total we had installed: new toilet, new tub, new vanity, new mirrored cabinet, new light fixture. New floor and wall tile. We also had a new bathroom vent installed as there was not one existing, and a new window as the existing one was most likely original to the house (1958). The construction in total took 2.5 weeks.

It has been approximately 1 month since the project was completed and I am as happy with the results as I am when it was first completed. This is our only tub in the house and with a small child we are exclusively bathing in there.

I worked with Derek to initiate the project, get an estimate and order parts and cabinetry. I worked with Rick who organized and managed the on-site work. Richard was the person who single-handedly turned a broken, dilapidated bathroom into a beautiful new oasis in the house. All were extremely helpful and dedicated to creating the best experience and outcome for me and my family.

This winter Select Kitchen & Bath finished our kitchen. I wanted to wait on our review until the 'new kitchen smell' was over and I could be more objective. I FREAKIN' LOVE OUR NEW KITCHEN!!!!! Derek was patient and helpful as we went over design choices. Rick came by on a regular basis to check on the progress and how we were feeling. The kitchen was over 30 years old and had never been refreshed much less redone. I wanted to make sure we made the right choices since we probably wouldn't be doing this again. It was a total gut job. The old cabinets had suffered water damage, we wanted to get rid of the peninsula, and move the fridge. New hardware, backsplash, sink, ... Joe, who did most of the work, was very detail oriented and worked hard to make our kitchen as perfect as possible.

We LOVE Select Kitchen & Bath! We had our hall bathroom done in 2018 and it was great. So good in fact we just had them redo our master bath this year. They have great designers and their technicians are expert. We couldn't have asked for better.

I highly recommend Select Kitchen and Bath. They recently completed a multi-room remodel for my family that included a full gut and reconfiguration of the kitchen, full remodel of two bathrooms and a den, and the installation of a custom storage closet, new stairs, new flooring, and several heavy-duty doors. This company does it all! From the initial concept to the final punch list, Select was a pleasure to work with. We first met with a designer who thoughtfully walked us through the process, proposed layout and budget options, and discussed all the possibilities for fixtures and appliances. He then took us to several building supply stores to help pick out and coordinate the cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, paint, etc. He did a great job keeping our heads from spinning from all the decisions we had to make. We were then assigned a dedicated project manager who was always available onsite or on the phone to answer questions, provide suggestions, and keep the project on time and on budget. He also worked directly with the construction crew, who were all friendly and amazing workers. The crew were skilled craftsmen who paid attention to detail and made sure we were happy with every installation. Select, Kitchen and Bath did an amazing job sticking to a tight deadline and minimizing the time we spent out of our house. Our neighbors were always impressed with how many trucks showed up in front of our house each and every day to get the job completed on time. If you want honest, quality service that's delivered on time and on budget, go with Select Kitchen and Bath.

Select Kitchen & Bath remodeled the small master bathroom in my DC condo. They removed the tub, sink, vanity, toilet & installed a walk-in, tiled shower and new vanity, fixtures and pocket door. Sergio was masterful and patient in designing every detail, incorporating a couple of my ideas he initially questioned, accompanying me to choose tiles, fixtures, etc. Luis did flawless work throughout, from tiling to plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and was an absolute pleasure, always willing to explain and answer my questions. Their work was completed on schedule. The only problem arose with the initial subcontractor who was unable to install the frameless sliding glass doors in the shower. After five visits, the shower doors leaked a lot. Rick then contracted with Dulles Glass which installed new doors perfectly. This delayed the completion of the bathroom but was handled well by Rick. I'm thrilled with my new bathroom!

Washington, DC, Capitol Hill - We just completed our kitchen and our main bathroom with Select Kitchen & Bath a couple of weeks ago. The overall experience was great. We have had some other work done to our condo and experienced difficulty with communication on behalf of other contractors. Select was extremely accessible from the beginning until the end. Every email was answered within a day, if not within hours. The initial project manager, Derek, was easy to work with and knowledgeable about all materials, options, and costs. He worked within our budget and provided great suggestions for what we were looking to do. We did not have a lot of specific ideas for what we were looking for, so we really relied on him for guidance. We also found our assigned contractors for the Kitchen (Jaime) and the bathroom (Nick) to be professional, friendly, and thoughtful as to how they were working in our home. Rick and Joe, the supervisors, would always answer our texts, emails, or calls and were equally helpful along the way. They also stopped by almost daily to check up on the work, noticing things that would not have stood out to us, but that they fixed to make sure that the project met extremely high standards of workmanship. Importantly, we felt like we were never being taken advantage of and that they wanted the project to be done right. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and bathroom. In short, we would use them again.

We chose Select Kitchen and Bath because they were recommended to us as a local distributor for the custom cabinets (by Lancaster Maid) we wanted for our kitchen remodel. The remodel entailed complete demolition and installation of new plumbing, electrical, flooring, switching from gas to induction range, etc, in a 1920 house with a small kitchen dating from the 50's. From the start, we were pleased with the design work that the Select team put into the project, particularly as we had space constraints. And once the work started, we were impressed with the skill, efficiency, and attention to detail throughout, from the care that went into re-insulating wall/floor spaces opened up to route plumbing and electrical, to the masterful paint work (including almost daily touch-ups as the work proceeded), to the follow-up in fitting a trim piece to a mostly-hidden under-cabinet corner. The work was done well and on schedule, and we are so very happy with the new kitchen!

We hired Select Kitchen & Bath to tackle our massively complex Owner's bathroom project. From beginning to end, we were super happy with Select's professionalism, design, installation, communication and final outcome.

We worked with Derek to design our new bathroom and pick out materials. Derek was so patient with us when we made (a million) changes. Once we loved our design, it was time to execute it. That's where Paul, Teddy & Ricardo came in.

Paul, our project manager, much like Derek was super patient, had great communication and got the job done to our satisfaction. The workers were all polite and skilled.

If I had one complaint, it would be that the project took TWICE as long as we were told and there were a lot of small mistakes made. They did fix all of the mistakes and we got it done - but it took almost 4 months.

But, overall we are so happy with our bathroom!!

We have used Select on four separate projects over the past eight years. We cannot say enough about the quality of their work and the people who do their work. They are incredibly responsive, and they are great to work with from design to the last nail. We trust them, and we always recommend them to friends, all of whom have been thankful we did. These folks are superb.

We used Select for a complete remodel of our master bathroom. All the old fixtures, flooring, and lighting were replaced. The shower was enlarged and a small makeup station was added to an otherwise “dead space” next to the new vanity. We could not be more pleased with the new space! Designer Sergio expertly guided us thru selection of fixtures and finishes. PM Joe S. was at the house daily to inspect, troubleshoot, answer my questions. He answered my text & email questions promptly. He is also now one of my dog’s favorite people 😂. The crew was prompt, polite and did their best to minimize disruption. The stairs and floors were well protected throughout the work and plastic sheeting was hung to minimize dust. They cleaned up the site at the end of every day.

When shopping for a contractor, we met with and got estimates from 4 firms. Select and 1 other firm submitted very similar numbers. We ultimately chose Select based on a strong recommendation of a neighbor and good reviews on line. So glad we did! We have a number of other home reno projects planned for the future and will definitely call Select again.

Select kitchen and Bath remodeled the main bathroom in our home. The workers were efficient, polite and thorough-making certain every detail was perfect. The project was completed on schedule with no follow up needed. We were delighted that our new bathroom was not only beautiful but also increased the value of our home!

We had Select Kitchen and Bath do a master bathroom remodel in early 2021. We were very happy with their job at the time and gave them a fantastic review. I am updating that review this year as we have learned some things about the install that totally negates that previous review.

This year our master bathroom shower developed an incredible smell. Multiple plumbers thought it was due to the toilet installed in the Master Bathroom by Select Kitchen and Bath. When one of these plumbers finally removed the toilet we discovered that it had not been installed correctly. The flange was below floor level, which is not how it should be. The flange pipe was too small for the toilet and the toilet had just been jammed in so it would fit, instead of requesting a change order from us so it could be installed correctly. The two screws that held the back of the toilet to the floor were not actually proper screws. So every time we sat on the toilet the toilet tilted forward and crushed the wax ring on which the toilet is supposed to rest.

Once we replaced the toilet and had it correctly installed the smell in the bathroom went away almost entirely. We still have a residual smell that we are working to diagnose with our plumbers. I am scared now about what we will discover next in our bathroom. What other corners were cut to build our master bathroom?

I’m very pleased with the results for the project in my condo that Select K & B just completed. Did a small reconfiguration of my kitchen which makes a big difference in its use. Also replaced a shower with a tub and new bathroom tile. It was all expertly done. Derek was great at creating the plans and setting reasonable pricing. He worked with me to reuse what we could. I really appreciated the level of supervision and quality control exhibited by Joe. Good job everyone!

Highly recommend this team. Everyone was skilled, professional, and detail-oriented, with excellent communication throughout. Derek was particularly helpful in translating my ideas into a clear, well-thought-out design. He kept the project on budget while guiding me toward practical choices that didn't compromise my vision. The entire process was straightforward and stress-free. If you're planning a kitchen or bathroom project, you can be confident in the results.

GLAD I STOPPED HERE!
