Formerly Metro Building and Remodeling Group, Metro Design Build Group is a full-service residential remodeling and custom home firm serving Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Montgomery County, Maryland.
High end craftsmanship and disciplined project management without the inflated overhead of large construction firms.
We operate lean by design, so your investment goes into your home, not unnecessary markup.
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.
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.
the mdbg values
Integrity
We lead with transparency and take pride in doing the right thing – even when it’s harder. Every detail, decision, and deadline reflects our commitment to honesty and accountability.
Craftsmanship
We believe that beautiful spaces should also be built to last. From structure to finishes, our work balances refined aesthetics with lasting performance.
Communication
Clear expectations. Frequent updates. Zero guesswork. We believe the best builds start with conversations that make you feel informed, confident, and taken care of.

client STORIES
Real experiences with quality results and clearer pricing expectations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
— Mike
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.
The process was easy, communication was excellent and they were extremely well-organized.
We had a great experience adding a screened porch and deck to our home with George and the Metro team. The process was easy, communication was excellent and they were extremely well-organized…a real pleasure to work with! The quality of work was exceptional and we are very satisfied with the end result.
— Ashley K.
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.
— Tiffany
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.
— Art R.
Working with Metro was an absolute pleasure.
