Globe Bath & Kitchen Remodeling

We worked with GBK (Amanuel) in 2020 to completely remodel our kitchen and full bathroom, but after his initial quote and a couple meetings asked to include another full bathroom based on his reasonable prices and our happiness in working with him. We tacked on a number of small items to that first remodel (recent house purchase, so we were making a bunch of small improvements as well as the major improvements), reached out for a small job to fix our fireplace a few months later, and just finished our next (hopefully last) major remodel for our third full bathroom and master bedroom. Amanuel has always been extremely honest, transparent, and works extremely hard to make sure we were well taken care of. His contracting crew led by Victor has done amazing work each time and have always been extremely punctual, communicative, and fantastic to work with. Even with our additions to the job throughout (and at the height of the pandemic with shortages and supply chain issues everywhere), Victor and Amanuel completed our entire kitchen and two full bath project on time and on budget - and each of our other jobs as well. We can't recommend Amanuel and his team enough to anyone considering major or minor renovations to their home.

Working with Daniel was truly a pleasure. He was the first to respond with suggested layouts via C.A.D. drawings and mock ups. His ideas were creative and fit it nicely with what we had envisioned. He was always responsive to any issue I had as the work continued. The crew came every weekday like clockwork, and were professional and friendly. Gabriel, the crew leader, was great to work with and made changes that we asked for quickly and cost effectively. Osmar was on the job nearly every day and was also a pleasure to work with. I would definitely not hesitate to use Global's services again if/when the need arises! We are very happy with how the bathroom turned out!

First things first- you can stop your search for a contractor and reach out to GBK. We had a great experience and three weeks post-project, I walk into my new kitchen every day and fall more in love with it. We hired GBK for a kitchen remodel and to add a bathroom to our 1920s DC townhouse. I was impressed with GBK from our initial consultation, and was happy with their initial estimate. I really liked that we were able to go and choose materials and finalize the design before we signed a contract. Amanuel was always very responsive and I was impressed with Victor, his foreman. The crew was always respectful and explained what they were doing. The project finished on time and on budget. We did discover about a week after the project ended that there was a plumbing issue that no one could have anticipated, but Amanuel stood by his work and the crew fixed it promptly. We did wish there was a little more transparency with regards to pricing- a line by line budget would've been nice- but we were still happy with the price we paid and that we did not go over the budget we signed on. Overall, highly recommend GBK!

We received 3 estimates from 3 contractors for our Bathroom remodeling job in DC, and finally chose Globe Bath and Kitchen for our project of a 3-bathroom complete remodel job. The designer (Daniel) went over all the details, materials and costs in the beginning. We then meet with Daniel at his office, went over design choices and received his helpful input along the way. The contractors (Gabriel and his crew) were punctual, pleasant and conscience of protecting all areas of the house from dust, bumps and scraps. Daniel then gave us a detailed breakdown of the cost for our project and stayed within our planned budget. All bathrooms were completely gutted out down to the studs. The crew prepared all “construction zone” areas with a plastic wall (it worked very well) and covered all floors to minimize any damages. However, with any renovation, there are always a few issues along the way, but the designer addressed them immediately and made every effort to correct the issue or offered other solutions to make us happy. They finished the job ahead of schedule!! Overall, we must say that we are very pleased with our New Bathrooms. Many Thanks to Daniel and his Team!! We highly recommend Globe Bath and Kitchen for your next project, along with Daniel and his crew. You will not be disappointed. Great Job!!! Thanks! Alonzo and Bonita F

It was a wonderful experience from the first meeting with Amanuel and Daniel to the final touch-ups. We are VERY pleased with the process and results. The cost was reasonable (we had three other estimates from highly rated remodelers). The work began and completed on schedule. Victor and Michael did the work. They were very conscientious in both the work they did and keeping the work environment isolated and clean.

Scope of Project Full kitchen remodel. No major structural changes, but new cabinets, counter tops, sink, island, and backsplash along with a partial change-out of appliances. Installed built-in coat tree by the back door. New flooring in the kitchen was matched and blended with red oak flooring in our existing family room - also stripped and refinished. They were able to include some custom touches such as built-in bookshelves and mounting some tiles that we brought back from our honeymoon in Mexico 20 years ago and managed to rediscover in time to make them an integral part of the design. They were able to move a bathroom drain pipe and repair a small leak in our washing machine outflow without breaking a sweat. Results We interviewed 5 contractors. Amanuel hooked us with both his digital design renderings and expertise. He is an architect as well as the project manager and kept his head in the game from start to finish. He gave us a steady stream of thoughts, question, and suggestions as forks in the road approached - all in a way that made it quite clear that he was personally invested in delivering a genuinely excellent product. We are still a little stunned by how well it went. They estimated 5-6 weeks and all of our friends and family laughed and said "double that." They finished in 4 weeks and one day. The two-man crew, aside from being extremely talented craftsmen, were in at 8:30 every morning and out at 6 pm pretty much like clockwork. They were congenial people and very responsive to any issues that came up for us. I think we made good partners as we were able to render quick decisions and were determined to avoid major mid-stream changes, so that also kept it rolling. It was not a super bargain, but it was a fair price for what we got. Most of all, we are extremely happy with the outcome. Globe was able to translate our vision and make it real. We happily recommend Globe and Amanuel for any similar work and will hire them again should we make additional improvements to this house.

We worked with Globe Bath and Kitchen Remodeling to renovate our kitchen and dining room in August and September 2016, and would recommend them without reservation. The difference in our old rowhouse is amazing. Our project involved taking down an existing wall between a kitchen and dining room, installing a functional island in its place with multiple pass-throughs, and taking the kitchen down to the studs to start over. We worked primarily with Amanuel, who was very responsive and easy to work with. And their crew on site was fantastic -- very clean and fast as can be. We checked in daily to see progress and discuss any issues that had arisen and I think that also helped. However, we were also away for the first 3 weeks of the renovation and did this from afar without incident. In fact, our project finished two weeks earlier than anticipated. Even when we ran into a few minor bumps in the road, Amanuel was willing to work with us to resolve the issues to our satisfaction in a very timely manner, keeping the project moving. He also kept us informed of any additional costs that might arise, so we were able to keep on or close to budget. Overall, we had a great experience.

We used Globe Bath & Kitchen Remodeling to renovate our kitchen in May 2016. We contacted Amanuel and he came to our house to provide an estimate. He took his time and truly listened to everything we wanted and he provided some guidance. He sent us an estimate within a few days. After receiving several estimates, we felt that Globe Bath & Kitchen Remodeling was able to understand the entire scope of the project, provide a competitive price, and a project timeline that worked for us. Jose did the entire kitchen remodel and he was wonderful! He was extremely professional and did beautiful work. Jose knew we were anxious to move into our new house and he was at the job-site by 8:00 am and would leave past 5 pm and even worked on the weekends! I would come to the house often to see how the project was going but I honestly didn’t have to do anything...Jose and Amanuel were running the project so smoothly. In addition, Jose and Amanuel were always available for any questions I had and were extremely responsive. We got our dream kitchen done in about two weeks and we have zero complaints. I whole -heartedly recommend Globe Bath and Kitchen Remodeling and Jose!

Globe Bath and Kitchen Remodeling is the company to contact if you are looking to upgrade your bath or kitchen to make it accessible. My husband is a Vietnam Vet who is Agent Orange. It is presenting itself as a slow deterioration of his body. We recently moved into a condo to be on one floor so when the time comes that he is totally wheelchair bound we will still be able to function. The one issue we had was the master bath. It was a tub shower. We had other contractors come out but all said that they would need to do a shower lip of 2 to 4 inches. We really wanted a roll in shower to prepare for the future. But after talking with others we felt we would have to resign ourselves to a "walk-in" shower and deal with the roll in later if it was needed. While at the Home and Garden show at Dulles we met Globe. They said their specialty was accessibility so we had them out. We are SO glad we did. Globe Bath said they could do the roll in shower. AND - where the others gave us a 1 to 2 month time estimate, Globe said 1 week, except for the glass, which is special ordered and would take 2 weeks to get in. (I should also note here that our master bath size is very, very small so one week was possible. If you have a larger bath it would probably take longer.) The price was higher than we had hoped BUT we got what we wanted - beautifully done AND within a reasonable time frame. So to us it was worth the extra money. The rep was professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. The contractor who came out to actually do our bath was outstanding too. He was a pleasure to have in the home; he cleaned up after himself each day and worked hard to be as inconspicuous as possible. I cannot say enough positive words about this company. They should definitely be one of the companies you call out for an estimate. Remodeling is so hard. Working with pleasant people takes the edge off of it.

Globe Bath and Kitchen Remodeling, LLC carried out a complete renovation of our kitchen. The work was completed to our satisfaction - we love the new kitchen - and on time - in exactly three weeks, as projected. We were impressed with the owner's responsiveness, the project manager's skill and reliability, and the overall experience that we had with this company.

Full master bath remodel. We went to 3 bathroom remodeling companies. This was the only one that helped us pick out materials and put together a design. The other 2 told us how wonderful they were and gave us a ballpark estimate without ever getting specific. Globe worked with us for 2 hours and we got a very specific and detailed estimate which was half of what the other 2 wanted and included everything we wished for. The work was neat, professional and beautiful. How often do you get exactly what you pictured in your mind's eye?

I worked with Adem when my 90 year old dad moved in with me, and we needed to convert a powder room into a handicapped accessible bathroom! They incorporated a wet bar space from the adjacent family room and created a walk-in shower now in the powder room, with a fold-out seat, handicapped bars and both a hand held shower and rain shower. They did a great job, can up with creative, thoughtful and beautiful design and were a pleasure to work with. I had a small problem about 2 years out, they came and fixed it quickly, no charge! We are planning a master bath remodel, and I am going with Adem and Globe again!
