DMV Kitchen and Bath Inc is a family owned and operated Full Service General Contractor specializing in Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling and Design/Build Services. We ensure a high quality finished product with flexible and attentive service at a competitive price. We pride ourselves on having the ability to make our clients visions come to life with great design ideas and execution. Showrooms: Chantilly, (VA) (703) 657-0997 and Gaithersburg, (MD)
"Awful, awful experience. A true nightmare. They charged tens of thousands of dollars and messed up basically every aspect of our bathroom remodel. Given multiple opportunities to fix their problems, they did not. Extremely sloppy, low quality work. The work on the bathroom was clearly done by someone who has never seen a bathroom or used one, much less built one before. The shower leaks, the tile was so crooked and bumpy it had to be ripped out twice, the radiators were badly reinstalled and dripped water down through the floors into to kitchen below, the walls and ceilings they built are not straight or square, the sink handles immediately fell off, they caused a $1000 plumbing clog and our basement to flood with sewage by flushing construction debris down our toilet. Instead of replacing pipes, they kept the old pipe which we had asked them to replace, and then tried to hide and cover it up. They would also show up unannounced and let themselves into our home on days when they had not told us they would be coming or that we were supposed to expect anyone to be in our house. So on multiple occasions I would hear an unexpected noise and I'd look over and see someone in my house who I had never seen before in my life. And every time we raised an issue to them, they either ghosted us or tried to convince us it was fine and that their work had been done correctly. I have pictures to document all of these issues. I will never let anyone from DMV enter my house again and I will tell everyone I can to never do business with this company. Scammers, liars, incompetent, I hope they go out of business."

We take great pride in our top-notch remodeling services in Rockville and ensure that every project we do turns out perfectly.
"Our place had good bones but didn’t work for our daily life. Every room felt cut off from the next. Ben and Teddy from Top Remodeling sat with us and came up with a better layout without changing the size of the home. They moved the hallway, opened the living area, and added a custom touch in almost every room. They rebuilt the inside from the studs and used solid-core doors and clean finishes. We went with soft white walls, bronze handles, and natural maple cabinets. Now, it all feels open and calm. Every room has a purpose."

Building code requirements vary by location. In many earthquake-prone areas, seismic gas shut-off valves are mandatory for new construction and during certain renovations or property transfers. Local building codes may specify which valve models are approved for installation.
Even where not required by law, these valves are strongly recommended as a safety measure in seismic zones to prevent gas-related fires and explosions following earthquakes.
Many insurance providers recognize the safety benefits of earthquake valves and may offer discounts on premiums. The specific savings depend on your insurance company's policies and your property's location. Contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about potential discounts for seismic safety improvements, as offerings vary between companies and regions.
Licensed natural gas plumbers are the most qualified professionals for earthquake valve installation. In most states, plumbers must maintain specific certifications and insurance coverage to work with gas lines. These professionals understand local building codes, proper valve placement, and how to ensure the system functions correctly during an emergency. Always verify that your installer has the appropriate licenses before proceeding with installation.
When an earthquake valve activates during a seismic event, it automatically shuts off the gas supply to your home. After the valve has triggered, you'll need a qualified professional to inspect your gas system for damage before resetting the valve and restoring gas flow. This safety measure prevents gas from flowing through potentially damaged pipes or into your home when appliances might have been compromised during the earthquake.
