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
"I strongly recommend Metro.
I have worked with George and his team on several occasions. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly competent and a great business partner to work with. The work he performed was of the highest quality. I strongly recommend Metro.”
— Dave A.
"I thank my lucky stars we went with George and his team, who made the entire experience so smooth and easy.
The process of finishing our 1,750 sq ft unfinished basement was a somewhat daunting one. We looked at several contractors ranging in experience, and changed our design many times along the way. I thank my lucky stars we went with George and his team, who made the entire experience so smooth and easy. They managed the project like pros, were as discrete as possible, pulled us in when necessary, and were flexible with changes. From start to finish it took only six weeks to finish and we could not be happier with the finished product! I would highly recommend Metro to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, professional, high quality contractor.”
— Nicole B.
"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.
"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!!”
— Adrienne M.

Working with Metro was an absolute pleasure. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and talented remodeling team, I highly recommend Metro. We couldn’t be happier with the working with them!”

"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!”
— Jodie
"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.
"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.
"George and his team communicated clearly with us the entire way.
Metro completed a major renovation of our basement over the winter and did a great job. From the design phase through final completion, George and his team communicated clearly with us the entire way so there were no surprises on timing, budget or what the finished space would look like. They even finished the renovations ahead of schedule! We would recommend them to anyone and will certainly call them again if we ever decide to take on another project like this in the future.”
— Will H.
"What Metro achieved is nothing less than exceptional.
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.”
