Our Take on Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens

DBK is the review-count leader on this list and keeps Saturday hours, with more than 35 years in the trade by its own account. Its site omits warranty terms, licence and insurance details, so ask before you sign.

    We completly renovated our kitchen.We worked with Anna dykstra for the design. She was really good in guiding us with our selection of items and design. She captured everything we had in mind and more. She listened, did not apply any pressure, she was timely with her deadlines. Michael was the installer. Very polite, extremely meticulous, clean and organized. Overall it was a great experience. We plan to do our ensuite bathroom soon and our daughter's bathroom at her condo and we will definitly be working with Anna for these projects.

    I already had an idea that Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens would make my washroom renovations worthwhile. Sara Akra was extremely helpful. She took time to listen to what I wanted then came to my home and took measurements. She walked me through different styles and materials not only to make my washrooms updated but at a cost that suited my situation. I never felt pressured to do things i didn't want or could not afford. She has a unique sense of taste and class which was helpful again at a cost I could afford. She even called me to see if I would be interested in a vanity that was on clearance that ended up saving me money. So if you want a great sales lady with style see Sara Akra. Then the crew. What can I say Etienne came on time every morning did his job asked me questions when he wasn't sure exactly how I wanted something which was great He never assumed. He would clean up everyday and worked hard every day. Great guy. Manny the plumber was awesome. He too came did his job and calmly worked all day. Mr McMaster the electrician was also a great guy. Did his job well too. Sonny would deliver the items and pick up all the garbage. There were other crew members too who contributed and I appreciated them too . They were done faster than they were supposed to be done and we are so happy about our powder room and main upstairs washroom which is so beautiful and updated. I feel like im in a hotel room. They even took out an old hair dresser sink in the basement and installed a laundry tub i had bought recommended by Sara. I recommend you buy lights at home depot as they do not sell them. If you're going to buy light at multi luminaires beware that they may take 2 weeks to ship your order so get lightning at home depot. The electrician installed a new pot light in the powder room which looks so nice. All in all I am so happy as is my daughter and wife. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING OUR HOME RENOVATION PROJECT A SUCCESS

    We had our bathroom completely renovated in January with Distinctive. Our consultant was Kelly, a very friendly, knowledgeable young woman. Kelly listened to our ideas and needs and provided excellent advice to help us come up with a design. She met with us several times providing worksheets on products and reminding us if we were going over budget. We were extremely satisfied with the workmanship and timeline, resulting in a beautiful bathroom. We would highly recommend Distinctive and Kelly as your consultant.

    I want to thank the DBK Ottawa team for the successful renewal of my Kitchen.<br>Emily (Meechan) using her talent and ability translated my general comments into a comprehensive design which included accessories, couleur scheme and cost. Emily personality made that process extremely easy for me.<br>Them, Kim, and Dennis took Emily’s plans and started the installation process. I was surprised to see my kitchen appearing under my eyes. throw-out the project I could appreciate Kim’s experience and workmanships.<br>I realize that the successful completion of the project also needed people to manage the logistic of the project. Their dedication made sure that materials arrived promptly and the efforts of various trades were well coordinated.<br>It is the second time that I use DBK for kitchen renovations and I am happy with my decision both times.

Company Background

About Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens

Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens is based at 2035 Lanthier Drive in Orléans, the east end of Ottawa. The website describes the company as having more than 35 years in the business, although it does not state a founding year, and it uses the short name DBK in places. It renovates kitchens, bathrooms and basements.

The services come through in the testimonials posted on the site. Clients describe working with designers, a foreman, a project coordinator and a consultant, and they mention demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring and installation all handled by the team, which points to a full-service model. The About page says the work is backed by a two-year warranty but gives no terms or exclusions, and the site does not list a licence number, WSIB clearance or insurance details. It offers a complimentary consultation with one of its designers. Treat the warranty terms and insurance as questions for your first meeting.

Hours are generous. Google and the website both show 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, with Sunday closed. The service area on the website is described as the Ottawa area without a list of neighbourhoods, but the Orléans address makes it a natural choice for homeowners in Orléans, Gloucester and the east end.

Google shows 4.7 from 157 reviews, read October 30, 2026. That is the largest review base on this list, with a rating that is a little lower than the leaders. The Google photos show a bright kitchen with a blue island, a long white kitchen, a freestanding tub beside a glass shower and a tiled walk-in shower.

Distinctive suits homeowners in the east end who want a long-established firm that handles kitchen, bath and basement work and keeps Saturday hours. It suits less well anyone looking for additions or published pricing. Before you book, ask for a written itemized quote, the two-year warranty terms in writing, WSIB and liability insurance certificates, and who applies for any City of Ottawa building permit.
