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
"The workmanship and final products are all outstanding.
I have owned 4 houses and have engaged contractors for remodeling in each of them. I have never come across a better one, nor had a better experience than I had with Metro, led by George Kall. I had been thinking about getting some work done, and when an acquaintance talked about how happy he was with a major remodelling job by Metro, I contacted them. A detailed, clearly presented contract was drawn up at the start, and it was modified as appropriate as the job went forward. Communication was always clear and prompt. George is pleasant, professional, knowledgable, and straightforward – no BS. The workmanship and final products are all outstanding. I was told the job would take 4 weeks and the job took 4 weeks – that is a first. I plan to call Metro in the fall for new floors. I have also been handing out his business cards to friends, because I know that it doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks to Metro for a job extremely well done.”

"Metro … felt like a partner in bringing what we wanted to fruition.
From the start with our first meeting, it was clear Metro was the most engaged, communicative, and felt like a partner in bringing what we wanted to fruition. And that continued during the heart of the project, and through the very last day.”
— Cassie R.
"The integrity and work ethic of George and his team are unrivaled in the remodeling sector.
My design firm has been working in partnership with George Kall and Metro for a little over two years now. The integrity and work ethic of George and his team are unrivaled in the remodeling sector. We can always be assured that the end result will be exactly as planned and executed with the highest level of customer service. Additionally, they have a track record of delivering on time and on budget, which give me (as the designer) and my valued clients piece of mind. George and his team are also great communicators, setting realistic expectations and exceeding them at every turn. I wholeheartedly recommend George Kall and Metro for any project that requires a keen attention to detail and assure you that you will be impressed!”
— Christina S.
"George handled our project flawlessly.
After meeting with nearly a dozen contractors, we found George and he is the epitome of what a contractor should be. After meeting with George, we read him as being a competent, trustworthy, and considerate individual. I can assure you that what you see is what you get. Our job was finished on time and within budget. To make things a little more complicated, I changed a few things along the way. George handled our project flawlessly and brought our project to life, building a beautiful addition. I guarantee that George will not only meet your expectations, but far exceed them on every level.”
— Leslie A.
"I would strongly recommend engaging with George and the Metro team.
I think we were like most homeowners when looking to invest in an addition to their home, where you have some ideas of what you want, but don’t quite have the “design eye” that will pull it all together. Fortunately, MBRG has designers on staff that helped provide some very impressive examples of what could be possible with our space and budget, and were able to showcase that in a design video that really blew us away. We are getting great use out of our grill station and fire pit (with TV), and have had numerous compliments from guests. I would strongly recommend engaging with George and the Metro team for any indoor/outdoor project needs, be it for decks, patios, basements, etc. They continue to deliver outstanding work in our neighborhood, and around the Metro area.”
— Matt Z.
"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.”
— Erin A.
"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!”

"The work was outstanding.
I had the pleasure of working with MBRG, for a deck, patio and landscaping project on our home. I can echo the sentiments of the other clients who have reviewed MBRG, in saying the work was outstanding, and exactly the enhancements we were looking for to our home. George Kall and his team were first-class professionals, from the design phase, through the completion of the project, with continuous communication throughout, and completion of the project right on schedule, for us to host a 4th of July party! And, he personally has engaged post-project, as customer satisfaction is a real priority for him. “
— Matt Z.
"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.”

"Communication is top notch, and we thank MBRG for making the entire process simple for us!
MBRG recently completed our basement and we are so happy with the results! George and the MBRG team are all very professional, honest, and timely. The design team assisted us with details that we love, and we are impressed by the quality of our finished project. Communication is top notch, and we thank MBRG for making the entire process simple for us!”
