Testimonials

We were in the midst of planning our wedding, so we needed someone trustworthy to the point that we could leave our new home and wishes in their hands without concern. Integrity and quality were critical. MGC delivered on all counts. All the individuals at MGC were excellent to work with, and they completed the project (which included a complete bathroom & kitchen remodel) on time with amazing attention to detail. In deciding on the aesthetics and layout, Marcos' experience and recommendations were invaluable and made the process that much easier. My wife and I do not hesitate in recommending MGC to all of our friends and family for their professionalism, craftsmanship, and quality work.

In 2005 we had the pipes in our house re-done and the dining room ceiling had to be partially knocked down. The plumber recommended MGC to repair the ceiling. I was so impressed not only with the quality of the work but also how neat they were. For the past 9 years they have done all the work that needed to be done in our house from painting, bathrooms, floors, building stairs and more. Their work is not only beautiful but professional. There is such pride in their work; a rare trait these days. Marcos has had great ideas for our house - even dissuading me from some of my own. And he has been right every time! Everyone at MGC is helpful, trustworthy and pleasant to have around. They recently helped me get my house ready to sell by painting and doing lots of fiddly bits. We are moving in a few weeks and I very much regret not being able to take MGC with me. I will miss them.

Marcos and his team at MGC are fabulous. When renovations first started, I had to unexpectedly move into my home (I had planned to have the renovations completed BEFORE I moved in). The team meticulously taped around the area that I was staying in to ensure that I experienced no inconvenience. I felt very comfortable with them having full access to my home at all times while I was at work, and each and every day, I would arrive home to yet another wonderful surprise of progress. In addition, after each renovation was completed the house was completely cleaned, with no dust or debris left for me to clean up. I have just recently used MGC on a rental unit of mine, and their work was again, beautiful. I even asked them to paint the room a light gray, and allowed them to select the paint - it turned out beautifully. I will use them for any and all upcoming renovations.

We hired MGC for our basement renovation after months of talking to other contractors who did not impress us or were extremely over-priced. Marcos spent a lot of time listening to our requests and providing his own professional ideas. The work that he and his employees did was fast, professional and at a reasonable price. The final product was well finished down to the smallest detail. We will easily ask him again for any future project large or small.

Metro General Contracting (MGC) is a family-run "Home Renovation Specialist", that has successfully completed numerous projects for my family, over the past 20-years. The quality, craftsmanship, fit and finish of their work is outstanding and their costs are quite reasonable. MGC is a "ONE-STOP-SHOP" in that they self-perform & supervise ALL aspects of the renovation, clean-up daily, and coordinate every construction detail with the homeowner. The projects/features MGC has performed for my family, include:
  1. New Sunroom Addition-featuring cedar shake roof, Pella (triple-pane) casement windows, fir-bead wood ceiling, and Australian Cypress wood floors.
  2. Basement-complete fit-out of "unfinished" basement, including frame & drywall new rooms, paint, ceiling, carpet, lighting, electrical, and HVAC. One highlight is the heavy-textured (spray-on) walls, which give a "Southwestern/Rustic" appearance.
  3. Prime, Trim, and Paint-exterior and interior of home. Replaced rotten wood trim on exterior of windows/doors with plastic/synthetic wood for longevity & durability. Repaired, replaced, and upgraded exterior entry/exit doors on front, rear, and side. Also repaired, primed, and painted garage door.
  4. Bathrooms-complete renovation of (2)-Full & (2)-Half Baths featuring new fixtures, tops, cabinets, water closets, tub, shower, lighting, and exhaust fans.
  5. "NEXT" Project-renovating our 1986-era Kitchen. Will replace counter-tops with granite, add a center island with grille, new hood exhaust, appliances, lighting, plumbing, and replace Kitchen floor.
Metro General Contracting's (MGC) approach makes them my "SOLE SOURCE" for home renovations/repairs. Their philosophy is simple, MGC is not happy unless and until the homeowner is COMPLETELY SATISFIED. Based on my personal experiences working alongside MGC on the above projects, I can honestly suggest-bypass the rest-and hire the BEST, METRO GENERAL CONTRACTING!!!
