About
who we are
We are a kitchen and bath design/remodel contractor operating in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.
- Our company was established over 30 years ago by our owner Rick Kimmel. He started this company and expanded it with his friends over the years to help homeowners in the area with remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. Rick wanted to create a design and remodeling company that not only helped homeowners with creating their visions in their homes but also to educate them on the different aspects of these kinds of projects so that we can work together to make their dreams realities.
- We offer full-service design and remodel for both kitchens and bathrooms, as well as design and cabinetry to selective contractors or homeowners directly. We hold a Class A Contractor license for the state of Virginia and are also licensed to do business in each northern Virginia county and Washington DC.
- We have a design studio and showroom located in Alexandria, Virginia, right at the I-395 exit for Edsall Road West. We carry samples of the following cabinetry lines at our showroom: Riverrun Cabinetry, Bertch, Koch Cabinets Co., Crystal Cabinetry, and Landcaster Maid Cabinetry.
- We have two designers, two Project Managers, twelve field staff, and 3 office supposrt staff. Our size allows us to focus on the level of detail and personal service required for today's remodeling projects.

What We Do
We are not just trying to do kitchen and bath remodeling projects.
- We have created a friendly, professional service that people can trust to help them accomplish what they are looking for.
- Our detail-oriented designers, Derek and Sergio, walk you through our company's process starting with the intial appointment for the estimate. We provide free at home consultations where they will take measurements of the space and delve into what's possible with what you have in mind for your project. They double as our in-house designers and estimators to help you with any and every question regarding your project.
- Not everybody has the background or experience in what is required to properly design and install a kitchen or bathroom, how to best work with their budget, and what might be best for their situation. This is our job. It’s what we do and we do it well. We provide a 5 year warranty on Select Kitchen & Bath’s workmanship following the date of substantial completion (details of warranty included in our terms and service agreement).
- We consider that homeowners are coming to us for honest advice and trusts us to represent and work with them to accomplish their goals – and then expect us to get it done without them having to worry about how it’s going to turn out.
How We Work
What to Expect
Our Design Process
From the moment you contact us about your project our designers will get to work creating the space that you want. We schedule a visit to your home to become familiar with your space and consider overall layout, review with you any needed reconfiguration of the space including usage and storage considerations. We’ll discuss the style and aesthetics you’re looking for with our detail-oriented designers.
We are experienced at all levels to make your space work for you from a straightforward pull and replace, to a full redesign with structural changes. It all starts as a partnership with you to define the look and feel you envision.
We’ll provide you with a detailed proposal: clearly representing the plan, the budget, the scope of work and suggested materials. As we continue to work together this will be refined through your input, more specific material choices, changes we may suggest and budget considerations. As well while this is occurring, we will have follow-up visits to your home by our project managers to fully explore what will be needed on your project prior to the job being finalized.
Our trained designers will assist with all your material selections, or you may want to make purchases of your own.
Our Construction Process
Every Project is assigned to a specific Lead installer, who manages and performs the day-to-day work required for the project from start to finish.
Every project also has an assigned Project Manager, who is responsible for oversight: overall coordination, scheduling of materials, vendor, subcontractors, and job safety.
The Lead Installer and Project Manager are provided with a detailed package from our Designers, and these are reviewed prior to starting the job to ensure smart planning and smooth delivery.
The first step in every job is to set up the workspace and the home we’re working in to provide floors, furnishings and dust protection. Our installers set up what is called a Zip Wall and lay down cardboard and plastic down on the floors to contain the dust from the demolition. Job sites are kept clean. We understand that we’ve been invited into your home and respect that fact, and that we’re working in your personal space.
Your project is worked on daily from start to finish and we do everything we can to meet the job schedule while achieving the high standards of workmanship and overall quality we are known for.
our final product
Whether the project is an in-kind replacement of a hall bath, reconfiguration of a master bath, or custom kitchen involving structural work we expect our homeowner partner to be happy with their design decisions, comfortable with the installation process and delighted with their project results to the point where they would confidently recommend our services to others.
