What you see on Instagram is not what you get from Metro. I learned my $100,000 lesson the hard way by not checking their work with my own eyes. Specifically, I would recommend looking at projects not posted on their social media, if you are considering using this company.
My fairly basic kitchen renovation with a new fireplace facade, TV cabinet, and shelving has taken over 8 months to complete. (We are still waiting for them to address concerns we have had for months). And we are still trying to get Metro to come back and finish things installed incorrectly or installed with damage done. The owner Tony is completely untrustworthy, incommunicative (he will only reach out when a bill is due), and called me passive aggressive when I reached out about my concerns with the lack of quality in their workmanship. We also had numerous details overlooked in the construction process from not having our wood floors covered during painting to the electrical work for our oven not being completed before they drywalled and installed cabinets. So the oven we waited 8 months for couldn't be installed due to their negligence and oversight. Tony said they would come and fix all of this and we are still waiting for that to be done. I spent hours on my hands and knees scraping paint off of our floor and chandelier. We were overcharged on our invoice and luckily we noticed because nobody on Metro's end said anything.
Tony did not follow through on his word and at this point I would rather pay someone else to finish this project. I am sick to my stomach with how much this cost and the lack of integrity this company had while in my home. I would suggest going with a much cheaper and higher quality of work. The only thing I would recommend is using Heather for design.
