Three stars because of their approach to estimates. Dan seems very competent and we had no issues…read morewith his technical skills. We had already gotten a couple of quotes, but really liked Dan and told them we wanted to move forward. Erika was extremely evasive about a quote. It was getting irritating. After a couple of months I couldn't let her off the hook, I wanted to get this project underway. I had to have an estimate. Her response to me was well "what is your budget." I said "I want what I want. " Again a runaround. She told me how qualified Dan was and any plumbers/craftsman they used and that we need to compare apples to apples. Of course, I understand that. She finally gave me a quote that I thought was quite high. So, in the meantime, I had contacted the manufacturer of the tile to make sure we had a contractor that was qualified to install large format tile. Then, Erika texted me and gave us a 10% discount. "Would that work?" She asked. Mind you, she refused to give us a breakout of any of the costs. I asked about the cost of the shower glass because I knew it was a pass-through. She wouldn't give me that. She also would not give me any itemization. She kept saying whether it comes in lower or higher we absorb the cost/or gain. She said they are different and just give one price. They aren't like other contractors. That's fine, I've never come across that, but they run the risk of losing a client. I got a quote from an equally qualified contractor. Except for Century, he was the highest bidder, but was considerably less expensive. The job is finished and we have a beautiful bathroom - -zero entry (aka walk-in) shower and large format tiles. It's a shame that Erika's evasiveness was very offputting. She seems to handle the business side and Dan does the technical side. As noted above, we were eager to work with them. However, the difficulties with the pricing made it impossible to move forward with them.

Century Bathrooms is a husband and wife team that specializes in remodeling kitchens and bathrooms…read more Daniel and Erikas experience spans over 20 years in the Northern Virginia area.

I would recommend this family owned business to anyone who is ready to take on an important project like a bath or kitchen remodel.

I walked into their Alexandria location mid June 2020 to discuss a kitchen remodel. I handed the…read moredesigner some papers that provided details of what I wanted. I requested that the entire kitchen design for the above cabinets remain the same measurements as I currently had. However, I wanted a lazy Susan in the corner unit below, and that meant changing the measurements of some of the bottom cabinets to fit it. I knew what cabinets I wanted. I knew what color theme I wanted. I picked out the color of the cabinets quickly. However, the whole design process from start to finish took 10 weeks. The designer told me he was very busy. I just needed to select the tiles for the floor and the backsplash. Once I left the designer a message that if I didn't meet him that weekend to nail down the tile selection, then I needed to cancel the entire job, he became available to meet with me to look at tiles together. I wanted the work to be done in November so it would be finished for the holidays. The crew was terrific. They were skilled. They were polite. They were very patient with me. I was working from home daily. So, I was always available to ask questions and oversee their work. A few issues came up that I believe was the fault of lack of detail during the design process. The top corner cabinet didn't come with shelves as I requested, but with a rotating round shelving unit. The cabinet above the sink was 3" shorter than my directions in writing that I handed the designer. So, these items had to be re-ordered and didn't come in until early January. Each time I tried to call and email the designer to ask him about these mistakes, he didn't respond. I worked with Luisa, the project manager. While she was never on site during the renovation, she always took my calls or called me back quickly (the same as emails). Frankly, I think Luisa should have been the designer for me and worked with me throughout the entire process. I don't think it was effective to have one "designer" come to my house twice and be available to meet me in the store to later hand it all over to the project manager. I probably feel this way because I didn't really need real design help. I knew what design I wanted from the start. I just needed advice to help me pick out the tiles.

I don't even know where to begin about my experience with this company. It's been over two years…read moreand my kitchen is still not where it should have been. We had to do jntense follow up to get them to come. We also had to involve the company making the cabinets. Over the two years, we have had three different teams of installers in our home because of issues they have had with Fine Line. The designer who worked for Fine Line and was our contact person also left the company along with the project coordinator. It was an absolute nightmare getting them to finish this job. Ogun (Sarah's husband) refused to come to the job once confronted. He sent Sarah over who took images of our home (including the powder room and the great room fireplaces) that were designed by us and fabricated by another company. She used these images on her social portraying it as her work. When confronted, she blocked us from her social accounts and never showed up at the project again. As an interior designer, I will never recommend this company to anyone in the trade or outside of trade. They lack work ethic, discipline, timely and meaningful communication, accountability, and most importantly respect for their clients.

Kitchen design experience: At first I was excited to have…read moreFineLine Kitchens come take a look at my outdated kitchen. Sarah had designed my friend's kitchen, and I could tell that she has good (but expensive) taste. Working with Sarah just to get an honest quote on my kitchen remodel was a waste of everyone's time. Her arrogance and lack of professionalism was even worse than her price tag. She insisted on blindly charging $2500-$3000 before even sitting down with her to do a design saying many times "my work speaks for itself" and that its a boutique experience. No formal quote or anything on paper. I have gotten a few other companies and designers come in and they have given me step-by-step quotes as well as a peek of what they had been planning for a design. With a big smile, too! She says that sometimes she won't even take a project that's "not worth her time", but she said she was exited to come up with a design for my kitchen after she returned from a month long vacation. 1+ months later, even more unprofessional and disorganized, she canceled my appointment without notice, despite our correspondence over email. She did not take the time to answer what few questions I had when I walked into the studio, which is when she looked at me like I was trespassing. Bottom line: FineLine kitchen designs may "speak for itself" but it does nothing to convey Sarah's arrogance and extreme lack of self awareness. Good luck to all her future clients!

Heather was the subcontractor for kitchen cabinets who the contractor for our kitchen renovation,…read moreMike Kilby of Madison Creek Homes, always uses for cabinets. His whole team of subcontractors were amazing--professional, timely, and completely behind all their work. But Heather was the star! She was a pleasure to work with, and willing to go wherever I wanted with design and materials choices, until I was completely happy. She is a talented designer, and I learned a great deal from working with her. She inspected every aspect of our cabinets, and had anything that wasn't completely as designed redone until all was perfect. I love the end results of our renovation, and will always think of Heather fondly as I enjoy using my kitchen.

Heather and all of her subs (installers and granite…read moresubs) were true professionals: they did what they said they would do, did it on-time, didn't mess up anything else, communicated well with us, worked MANY extra hours to correct problems that were not their fault, and the price was better than the other 3 cabinet/counter companies we got quotes from. Frankly, working with her again is a no-brainer for us and we sing her praises to all of our friends and neighbors now. If you've done any sort of home renovations you've probably had good contractors and bad. On our most recent 1600sf addition we had a lot of mediocre work from our GC and his subs and they required LOTS of oversight. Heather's team, by contrast, gave us white glove service at a price that was a true bargain for the quality of work delivered. She and her team gave us such good value that we're looking around our house for other things to have them build (built-in buffet for dining room, wine cabinets, etc). I wish all home renovation trades-people were this good. - Pete and Krista Coleton

It started off well, we were installing a kitchen through IKEA, Milos came out to the house and…read moreexplained the whole procedure, he was very nice and went through everything with me. He told us he'd have the plans written up by the following Monday. That was 5/6. We finally got the plans on the 5/17. They said they were booked out and the soonest we could schedule the install would be the end of July, that seemed like a really long time and we had to push back our floor install and painting so we wouldn't be too log without a kitchen. The first day of the install they sent out a crew of 4, they did a good job and moved quickly, so quickly in fact that the crew manager who dropped them Off and left half way through was late coming back to pick them up so they had to hang out on our front stoop for about an hour. The second day crew was 2 guys, they lost the door knobs to a cabinet and never replaced the so we have to now go back to Ikea and purchase 2 more knobs. They also told my husband they would put an elbow in vent above the stove to ensure it vented properly to the microwave, he agreed to pay an extra $40 for them to do that when they came back after the counters were installed. The third crew came back after the counters and immediately started arguing what they would and wouldn't reinstall, they called to say we never asked for the reinstall (which we had with Milos and the 2nd crew lead) a gentleman from Zee Dee called and to let me know they wouldn't be setting up our appliances and got annoyed with me when I started asking questions he started snapping at me and pushing me off the phone. I asked for his name and he hung up on me. When I called back or went straight to voicemail. His cell phone is (571) 332-1160. The 3rd install took 2 days after the 2nd day my husband called to say the tore the brand new vinyl flooring when they put in the stove, scratched the brand new sink faucet when installing, did not install the elbow for the joint and used about a roll of tape to attach it, it looks horrible! And we're still missing the door knobs for the cabinet. No one checked in with us after the job, I emailed Milos and still have no response, I emailed the general email account with no response so I am now posting on review sites hoping to get a call back, email whatever to get these things fixed!
