We worked with MKDB on a major kitchen renovation project in April 2015. We also had the floor on the second level of our home reinstalled with cork along with some minor renovations to one of the bedrooms. We are not handy people so it was important for us to get a sense of being able to trust the person who would handle the project. Moneca met this need and so much more. Moneca spent time with us to understand the how, why and what we were trying to change in our home. We felt at ease after our first meeting with her, when she dissuaded us from renovating our staircase (which she was prepared to do if we insisted) as she felt that it would not further our vision, particularly in view of how much it would cost. We really appreciated this advice as it demonstrated to us that she cared about the project not only aesthetically but also from a practical and budget perspective. As in any renovation project, there were glitches along the way, such as difficulty acquiring the right type of materials, determining that something could not be installed the way it was envisioned etc. Moneca was always quick to come up with alternative viable suggestions, while keeping the original design in mind. She is creative with solutions to problems, all while making you feel included in the problem solving process. Moneca treats the project like it is a renovation of her own home. She is quality conscious and was not satisfied until we were and more significantly, until she herself was happy with the end result. The team that Moneca works with was also wonderful. They were always pleasant, courteous and worked hard to complete the project within the proposed time frame. We would retain MKDB again in a heartbeat for any future projects.

We hired Moneca to do a major renovation for us, with a main floor addition for a new kitchen and a complete redesign of the main floor of our 1940s home. New windows, roof, siding, climate system and a new, relocated back deck were part of the reno. Moneca and her whole team were trustworthy, reliable, and professional. We were extremely impressed with their skill and meticulous attention to detail. We actually started out with another designer, but pricing concerns late in that process led us to ask Moneca for a second opinion. She reassured us on the price, but suggested a very different layout that made so much sense that we had to switch. Moneca's people were very organized and helped guide us through the whole process, by narrowing down fixture choices and even giving advice on furnishings. They started on schedule and got us back into the house on time. We are thrilled with the result and highly recommend Moneca and her team! read more

Our more than a century old house was looking drab and required a significant redesign to give it more life and curb appeal. We had a great experience working with MKDB in the past for our interior renovations and were excited to work with them again on our new project. We hired MKDB to redesign the front of the house and to build and managed the actual renovations. We found the staff to be very knowledgeable, courteous and great listeners. They sat down with us to hear our ideas and came back with a design that truly elevated the look of our home's exterior facade, roofline and front porch, They made sure that we were fully aware of the cost of the project and any potential costs that could arise, so that we did not have to worry about additional costs after the project started. Like the previous renovation with them, they came in on time and on budget, just like they promised. We very highly recommend working with them. read more

July 2017. Delighted with first contact with MKDB. Although, it is just the beginning of the project, I am excited and looking forward to the creative process and would already recommend this truly visionary and responsible designer. Hands down! I contacted Moneca directly at MKDB and received some creative and sound advice for my kitchen renovation. Moneca is generous with her insight and was very helpful in visualizing our dream kitchen. Without a doubt, her expertise in home renovations and interior design speaks volumes. I would recommend hiring MKDB for any project in the home or office. Very innovative thinkers who respect space, people and the environment! This Ottawa (Kanata) resident is very impressed!! read more

We have used MKDB for a number of projects, and they have always exceeded our expectations (which is rare for renovation projects!!) We love the full service, client-centred approach: we give them a detailed sense of what we want and they do the rest - from creative design to excellent project management. The team is super creative and really care about the clients. Lots of integriity, goes the extra mile. Make sure you get their advice on creating beautiful, functional spaces - and then get them to source the high quality products that really deliver. Consistently awesome. read more

We hired Moneca Kaiser Design Build to build a deck for us in 2001. The style of it is beautiful and matches the style of our home. We still get complements on it. We were so impressed, in 2007, we hired Moneca Kaiser Design Build to finish our basement. We were not disappointed as the style and functionality of the space is exactly what we wanted. Working with Moneca is a pleasure and I would recommend MKDB to anyone needing a renovation. read more
