KITCHEN
REMODELING

overview

We design and build custom kitchens that blend function and elegance—crafted for effortless everyday living and refined entertaining. From high-end cabinetry to integrated smart appliances, every detail is tailored to your lifestyle.

THE PROCESS:

STEP ONE

We Start With a Chat

This first step is all about making sure we’re a good fit for one another.

Much like an interview, you’ll tell us about your goals and ask plenty of questions, and we’ll decide together if we’re the best firm for the job. We want to make certain that we’ll be able to fulfill your goals and that you’re coming into the process feeling absolutely confident in our partnership.

STEP TWO

Meet and Discuss

We'll meet at your home to discuss your project.

We will meet you onsite, review your home's current conditions, and discuss all of your must-haves and wish list items. During this initial phase, we will learn more about your goals for a remodel and ask detailed questions about your priorities and preferences. Your existing home may have some unique opportunities or challenges, which we would like to learn about as well.

We will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have about your project, the process, and our company.

STEP THREE

LET'S TALK NUMBERS

At this point, we'll talk about your budget.

Once we have a deeper understanding of your project, we can provide details on how much it could cost. We'll set a tentative budget and agree on an initial deposit amount.

STEP FOUR

Develop Initial Ideas, Plans, and Estimates

The next step is to begin working on your design.

During this second meeting, we'll continue from our previous conversation about design goals but in much greater detail. We'll record the dimensions of your property so our design team can begin creating your design and layout.

Because our team wants to ensure your initial designs are as close to complete as possible, we've created an information packet for you and a questionnaire to help us learn exactly how you plan to use your space.

As part of the design phase, we create estimates of what the ideas and options will likely cost. These initial cost estimates will use placeholders called “allowances” for products, materials, and finishes you will eventually select. Because we want to keep your project within your budget, we take great care to create realistic allowances based on your design aspirations.

STEP FIVE

Review Design Ideas and Make Selections

We're getting closer to your finished design.

In a few short weeks, we'll reconvene with design ideas for your input and approval so we can move forward with ironing out the details.

Our next step will take place in our vendors' showrooms where you will choose every finish and feature that will go into your remodeled space.

If your remodel includes structural changes, we'll also conduct a trade day onsite with engineers and trades to fine-tune the construction plan.

STEP SIX

Finalize Design

Your cost and design are ready to be finalized.

This is our final meeting before the construction phase where we'll review the scope of your project and cost estimates. We will finalize your paperwork with your selections and bids in place.

Upon your approval, we prepare a construction agreement so we can move on to getting your project started.

STEP SEVEN

CONSTRUCTION

We begin the construction phase of the project.

We start by finalizing and submitting plans for permits. Next, we schedule the project and have pre-construction meetings with our team.

We meet with you and go over the details of how the construction phase will flow and you get to meet with some of the team that will be working on your project. We address any questions or concerns you may have before beginning construction. You'll also receive a detailed construction schedule and access to a client portal to keep a close eye on progress.

As construction wraps up, we will walk through your project together, address any concerns, and then thoroughly clean the site.

STEP EIGHT

Post-Project Survey

We value your insightful feedback.

At the end of every project, we ask the homeowners we partner with to complete an online survey performed by GuildQuality (GQ), an independent third party. GQ is the leading homeowner satisfaction company in our industry. They will ask you to rate us in key areas known to be important to homeowners. They'll provide us with unbiased and unfiltered feedback, so we know more about our your experience.

This critical feedback allows us to improve our services and processes. We value your feedback and use it to continuously learn and grow, allowing us to deliver better and better experiences to homeowners like you.

"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 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.

"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.

"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

"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.

"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 looking forward to using Metro on our future projects!

Metro finished the basement in our new house. We were extremely pleased with the whole experience, including the final product. The design staff assisted us in choosing paint colors and other design decisions- We love the dark trim that was suggested!! Management thoroughly communicated each step of the process including keeping us up to date on where we fell within our budget. There were no surprises at the end! We are looking forward to using Metro on our future projects!”

— Dana W.

"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.”
