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.
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.

Our project finished on time and on budget with zero snags.
George and the team at Metro recently completed a project for us that built out two rooms from unfinished space in our basement. Throughout this project, George maintained great communication, was easy to to work with, and always highly professional. Our project finished on time and on budget with zero snags. The end result was a very high quality fit and finish that matched the existing design, trim, and color scheme of the rest of our home.
— Carlos E.
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!
— Jodie

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.
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.
— Suzi F.
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.

The Heart of the Home, Reimagined: Kitchen Remodeling in Historic and Older DC Metro Homes
The kitchen is the heart of the home, particularly in the older and historic residences of the Washington, DC metropolitan area. These kitchens have provided for generations of families, reflecting years of daily use and embodying the quality and craftsmanship often absent in modern construction. Features such as the butler’s pantry off the back hall, the deep windowsill above the farmhouse sink, and original hardwood floors worn precisely where people have gathered to cook, serve as reminders of these homes’ enduring character.
Honoring the Past, Elevating the Present: Bathroom Remodeling in Historic and Older Homes
There is a reason homeowners in Old Town Alexandria, Capitol Hill, Chevy Chase, and the storied neighborhoods of McLean and Great Falls choose to stay rather than sell. The older homes of the Washington, DC metro area carry something that new construction simply cannot replicate: a sense of permanence and craftsmanship rooted in a different era. Original millwork, plaster walls with their subtle imperfections, transom windows flooding a hallway with morning light. These are not inconveniences to be corrected, they are the identity of the home.
