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.

"I would go back to Metro in a heartbeat.
George and his team finished our basement. They were highly organized, communicated very well with my husband and me, and did a beautiful job! Our boys are thrilled. I can’t say enough about George’s clear communication and organization. He stayed on top of every minor change so that we always knew exactly where we stood. And, his crew is great! I would go back to Metro in a heartbeat.”

"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!”

"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!”
— Ted H.
"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.
"They did an amazing job of planning and executing our vision.
We hired Metro for a gut renovation on our 1925 house in DC and were thrilled with the results. They did an amazing job of planning and executing our vision and we have recommended them to several of our friends doing renovations. We were particularly impressed with how quickly they were able to complete the project once the work started. The on-site team was excellent at communicating issues when the arose and very responsive and flexible to our requests. While we hope we don’t have to take on the project of this scope again, we will definitely use Metro again if we do!”
— Jonathan P.
"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.
"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.
"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!”
"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!”
