"I recently had an outstanding experience with Living Color for some work at my home. Matt is incredibly professional, and immediately made me feel at ease with his knowledge and approachability. What really set him apart is honesty. He explained everything clearly, ensuring I understood what needed to be done without pushing unnecessary services. The work was completed efficiently, with exceptional attention to detail, and at a very fair price. It's refreshing to find someone so reliable and trustworthy in this field. Matt's friendly and professional demeanor, combined with his evident skill and honesty, has made me a loyal customer. I will definitely be calling him again for any future needs. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality service you can trust."

"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!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We needed an office area built in an open floor planned condominium, along with several bookcases. Jeff and his team proposed several ideas and we trusted his guidance. We could not be more happy with the results. The office area, bookcases and hidden storage are beautiful! Their work is top notch and well worth the money."

"My initial plan was to modernize my home but I wasn’t sure where to start and what to do, but after consulting with Alvaro Pardo and KREA Designs, he designed new finishes and proposed a full renovation project tailored to my budget. It took me some time to warm up to the idea of making bigger changes, but he was incredibly patient throughout the process. I renovated my bedroom, bathroom, living room and made small changes in the hall and kitchen. His contractors were kind, professional, and respectful, especially Harold Mendez, his carpenter, who created elegant and customized furnitures. Alvaro kept me updated about the progress of the renovation and took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry, but consulting me any changes or last minute decisions. He was also very open to feedback, including suggestions from my family. I’m very happy with the results, and my place now looks modern and cozy. I would recommend KreA to anyone without hesitation."

"I wish I could give Maarten and his team of contractors 10 stars. He far exceeded our expectations. His contractors/workers were always working, doing things that went beyond the scope of the project. Our house/yard was in better shape than when it started. He is one of the only, if not only, contractor I would have do worker prior to getting an estimate. While he was installing the new roof (with an estimate) we had his team working on eight other projects with just a verbal ballpark estimate and he came in below what was expected. Maarten is extremely knowledgeable and was able to resolve issues we have had that other contractors were unable to fix. I would recommend Reston Restoration for any project in the home. Thank you to the Reston Restoration's team"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Washington DC, DC

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
