ABOUT MDBG
Metro Design Build Group is a full-service residential remodeling and custom home firm serving the greater Washington, D.C. metro area.
Metro Design Build Group was intentionally built after years of experience inside large, high-end construction firms. We kept what works – disciplined process, quality standards, and accountability, and removed what does not – excessive overhead and inflated pricing.
Refined functionality,
timeless aesthetics,
and a seamless client experience.
We offer the craftsmanship and process of established high-end firms, without the excessive markup often built into their business models. We do not operate a showroom or maintain layers of sales staff. Instead, we focus resources where they matter most – experienced project leadership, skilled trades, and clear communication.
Clients receive the confidence of a proven process with the personal attention and cost efficiency of a lean, owner-led firm.

Kall
FOUNDER
George Kall is the founder behind Metro Design Build Group, bringing over two decades of hands-on construction experience and operational leadership to every project. A graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in finance and management, George began his career overseeing the construction of more than 150 homes annually for a major builder – seven to eight times the industry standard. That formative experience shaped his belief that efficiency and excellence shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, and laid the groundwork for the client-first, systems-driven approach that defines Metro today.
With roots in Pennsylvania and a deep love for family, George approaches his work with the same values that guide his personal life: integrity, accountability, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether he’s reviewing design plans or playing catch in the driveway with one of his four kids, George brings focus, care, and reliability to every role he plays. His goal has always been to build not just beautiful homes, but long term relationships grounded in trust and quality.

CLIENT STORIES
"Any homeowner considering remodeling … could no do no better than to have the work performed by Metro!
The quality of the work performed along with the building material used gave us a new kitchen that we will both be proud of for years to come. Any homeowner who is considering remodeling their existing kitchen within budget and desiring quality workmanship could no do no better than to have the work performed by Metro!”

"George and his team really went out of their way to make sure we were happy and we definitely are!
From the first contact we had with Matt, our minds were at ease. We understood everything up front; there were no hidden costs. We got a schedule with a timeline for each part of the work and off we went. The communication with our lead carpenter, Chad, and each trade made all the difference. Everyone made sure to get our input and confirmation on things like tile layout, lighting preferences, electrical box placement, just everything. I’m a stickler on things being even and level, as in I’m constantly adjusting picture frames on walls wherever I go–I have to say, everything is darn near perfect in these bathrooms. George and his team really went out of their way to make sure we were happy and we definitely are! I highly recommend this company.”

"I would unequivocally recommend MBRG for your remodeling needs!
Metro finished our basement and we love it. They were awesome! We were always in the loop about each and every step of the process always knew where we stood as far as staying in budget (knew to the dollar if we were above or below budget with each item we chose. No surprises at the end!). They were very professional, always arrived on time and kept to schedule, and had great ideas, plus George and the team are super nice and friendly. I would unequivocally recommend MBRG for your remodeling needs!”
— Trey S.
"The entire team was extremely responsive, thorough, respectful, and performed great work.
We used MBRG to finish our basement and I am very glad we did! The entire team was extremely responsive, thorough, respectful, and performed great work. We always knew what everything cost (to include last minute add-ons) and were never caught off guard, which was extremely important to us with such a big project. Thank you for everything! We absolutely love our basement!”
— Laura J.
"10/10 Would Highly Recommend!
Our first remodel project with MBRG was a major kitchen renovation. We were so pleased with their quality of work, their professionalism, their open communication, and their timeliness that when it was time to renovate all of our upstairs bathrooms- I knew exactly who to call! Once again, MBRG came through beautifully…from the initial consult, to the design itself, to demo and construction, they routinely exceed my expectations. I get SO many compliments on both my kitchen and bathrooms renovations! Their craftsmanship, attention to detail and the overall beauty of the the completed project is unparalleled! 10/10 Would Highly Recommend!”

We absolutely love our new space. Everyone is wowed when they see it and want us to host more parties. What Metro achieved is nothing less than exceptional. I highly recommend Metro. Their professionalism alone is hard to find and likely can’t be beat.”

"We are so pleased with the job that Metro completed for us.
We hired MBRG to build out a full basement bathroom in our 1 year old home. George provided a thorough estimate which he delivered to us in the timeframe promised. The estimate was precise and accurate. George provided recommendations for where to select our materials and was extremely helpful throughout the selection process. During construction, George provided regular updates via phone and email, and was regularly on-site to check progress. His team was polite and very respectful of our home. The work was completed in a timely fashion, the work area was cleaned up very well each day, and the bathroom looks great. We are so pleased with the job that Metro completed for us.”

"This is an absolutely amazing contractor.
This is an absolutely amazing contractor. We were promised that they would be able to totally redo our kitchen in just 4-weeks, in time for us to host Thanksgiving dinner, and they delivered on that promise!!! The workmanship was exceptional and everyone we dealt with was first rate. These people really care about giving you the best possible product and take great pride in what they are doing. They are really pleasant, professional people, very helpful and patient, and very respectful to the homeowner’s needs. We would recommend them most highly!!”

"The crew was timely and very professional and they were a pleasure to work with.
George and his team recently remodeled our basement and added a wet bar and we are so happy with how everything turned out. George was friendly, very easy to work, with and was always in communication with us. He set realistic expectations and was very thorough in the details of the process. He was always thinking a few steps ahead and had everything planned out and this made for a very smooth construction process. The crew was timely and very professional and they were a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with the final product and have enjoyed it daily!”
— Kim H.
"They are the FIRST AND ONLY call we will make when our next project comes along.
Metro remodeled our kitchen, added a four season room and built our deck with a place for the hot tub. They were EXTREMELY efficient and ensured there was minimal impact on our daily living. The team communicated with us throughout the process which other contractors had not done. Years later, I can reach out and ask questions and receive the advice I need within a day or two. Metro is THE BEST you will find. The quality, management team and the pricing for our project was fantastic. They are the FIRST AND ONLY call we will make when our next project comes along. You will not be disappointed with George and his team.”
