About us
VKB Kitchen & Bath Bethesda is the locally operated Bethesda location of VKB Kitchen & Bath, a design and remodeling brand serving homeowners since 2009. The showroom at 7613 Wisconsin Ave is where your kitchen or bathroom gets designed, priced, and managed, by people you can walk in and meet.
Our story
VKB Kitchen & Bath has been designing and building kitchens and bathrooms for homeowners since 2009. As the company grew across the region, it moved to a model where each showroom is operated locally, and the storefront on Wisconsin Ave is the Bethesda result of that: one team, one address, responsible for every project it takes on.
That structure is deliberate. The remodeling industry tends to split a project across a designer in one place, a contractor in another, and a supplier in a third, with the homeowner as the messenger between them. At VKB Bethesda, design, material selection, pricing, permits, and construction management run through the same showroom you first walked into.
Being part of the wider VKB brand is what keeps a local operation from being a small one. The Bethesda team works with the product lines, supplier relationships, and project processes the brand has built over the years, including six cabinet lines and countertop surfaces from quartz to sintered stone, at pricing an independent shop rarely gets.
The result for a Bethesda homeowner is a specific mix: decisions made in person with a local team, backed by the buying power and experience of an established brand. Projects are coordinated by one VKB project team and its licensed trade professionals, from the first measurement through the final walkthrough.
The showroom
Most remodeling decisions go wrong on a screen and right in person. The Bethesda showroom exists so you can open the drawers, run a hand over the countertop edge, and see tile under real light before anything is ordered.
Working displays of our six cabinet lines, St. Martin and Medallion through KraftMaid and WellKraft, countertop surfaces from Cambria and Silestone quartz to sintered stone, and tile and flooring for floors and wet areas, side by side in one room.
Bring photos and rough measurements, and a designer can start placing your project the same day. Your free 3D design is then built from the measurement visit and the selections that follow.
The team
Brian came to the United States in 2009 for his higher education, with academic studies at Rutgers University, the University of Cincinnati, and American University in Washington, DC. His remodeling career started in the field: acquiring, fully renovating, and selling distressed properties across the DMV region, the kind of work where you learn what actually sits behind every wall.
He has held licensed contractor credentials in both Maryland (MHIC) and Washington, DC since 2019. Building on that construction background, he moved into specialized kitchen and bath design, advancing through assistant designer, designer, and store manager roles at design firms in Bethesda and Washington, DC.
With more than a decade in the industry, Brian now leads the Bethesda showroom, pairing a builder's understanding of structure with a designer's precision, so what gets drawn in your 3D design is something that can actually be built.
