We worked with Metro for the renovation of our entire first floor, which included the kitchen,…read morebathroom, and living room. The project included things like new flooring, cabinetry, appliances, furniture, painting, lighting, etc. We enjoyed working with our designer Sam and the build team led by Tony. Together they helped create a space that our family will enjoy for years to come. Metro's attention to detail and the ideas they bring to a project really set them apart. We also love the fact that Metro is small, and for us local, business. I highly recommend both their design and build services.

We got our dream kitchen ahead of schedule and on target budget! We couldn't be happier with the…read moreresult. It was incredibly easy to work with the team end-to-end, from building the designs from scratch through project execution. The design process allowed us to put all of our stylistic preferences while ensuring an overall cohesive look. The project management was seamless, with perfect communication between the Metro team, the contractors they found and us. Each week we got an update on the project status with photos. The team was flexible meeting our needs, such as helping us ensure our cabinets could get donated to The Salvation Army. The only caveat I'd give is that while the total cost matched the projected budget, that number was quite high both in absolute terms and in relation to the initial budget we had targeted. That's not a surprise for a kitchen renovation, but just note that there's huge costs not only costs for materials and labor but also appliances and a rental if you choose to move out. If sticking to a certain number is critical to you, make sure to keep reiterating that throughout the design process and maybe even try to get mid-process estimates to avoid sticker shock.

We are on our second property in Chicago and have for one reason or another had to hire more than…read moreour fair share of contractors. We've found that there are plenty of good contractors who do good work and, if you do your due diligence up front, things will generally work out. However, Kucera Construction are the first exceptional contractor we've hired. They were above and beyond anything else we've experienced in the city of Chicago. This was the biggest project we've taken on yet - a kitchen remodel that involved demolition of one wall. We ended up hiring Peter and his crew for a few reasons: 1. It was clear he was a problem solver and detail oriented - taking out one of the walls meant extra support would need to be added. All the other 4 contractors said we'd need to add a post without exploring. He was the only one who looked at the wall in detail during the estimation process (going upstairs and to the basement to check it out). He said we may need a post but he thought we might not...end result: no post! We also wanted to remove the existing tiled floor and replace by running wood floor from elsewhere on the floor to create a consistent look...all other contractors said this could not be done. Peter said it could and made it happen. 2. Detailed quote: Every task was line itemed, which created transparency at the outset. We were able to take out aspects of the job that we felt were not worth it. 3. Pricing: Most of the contractors came in at roughly the same price but Peter's included the flooring and no post mentioned (unlike the other contractors). It took 3 months for Peter to start the job after we hired him (this was mostly due to our schedule). He was also up front that he was fully booked for a while, to me that's a good sign. He told us everything we needed to get ready before he did (it was our first kitchen remodel so this guidance was very helpful). Peter estimated 4-6 weeks for the job. It took just over 5. Every stage of the process was planned to ensure maximum efficiency. Our neighbors who had taken on a smaller kitchen remodel at the same time couldn't believe how much they got done in the time they did. His crew were there every day (except the days we didn't have the resources he needed...our fault not his) to ensure he met this deadline. All his workers were polite, non-obtrusive and respectful. They kept mess to a minimum throughout. He was good at keeping to the budget. We ended up paying more than we were quoted for but this was due to unforeseen issues that were out of his control and items we added during the process. Both were fair. He also gave credits where he'd overestimated original pricing as he went through the job. Peter's communication throughout the process was excellent. He would check we were happy with every little thing (lighting positioning, recessed lighting fixtures, light switch types, even hood height etc.) before proceeding. We are so happy with the end result: our new kitchen is amazing and is surpasses our vision for the space. The quality of the work is outstanding. We are so pleased we hired Kucera Construction. They are an exceptional contractor.

Choosing Peter / Kucera Construction for our project was the best decision we made. We did a full…read moregut renovation + addition and after meeting with several contractors Peter was the obvious choice. His estimate was extremely detailed to where you knew exactly what you were paying for on each line item (which left for minimal surprises throughout the entire project). His pricing is competitive and the work his team does is just incredible. He has a large team (which helps get things done FAST) and all of the guys are super kind, hardworking and skilled. I can't say enough positive things about his team and all of his subcontractors. This was our first time renovating a home and we would have been so lost without Peter. He helped guide us through the entire process, never got irritated by my endless questions or changes, and gave such valuable feedback/guidance on miscellaneous items that I couldn't make my mind up on. He is communicative, reliable, trustworthy and just an all around good person. I was so nervous selecting a GC after hearing so many nightmare stories, and could not be more thankful we found Peter and that he took us on as a client. We are in love with the finished product and would choose Peter again in a heartbeat for any future projects.

Our experience with the team has been very positive. Roland, our project manager, is very knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive. Being a first timer with these projects, we found Roland's expertise to be a big help. He consistently offered valuable guidance and solutions throughout the process. Our communication was quite smooth. He made sure that our questions and concerns were addressed timely and completely. In terms of the work, Andy and Richard did an impeccable job. They both had tons of experience in the trade, and paid great attention to details. Their skills and craftsmanship were clearly shown in the quality of the work. Overall, we are really happy and satisfied working with this team. We are grateful that they made our house so much more beautiful and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The value added by dSPACE is tremendous. Working with them and having them as your advocate…read morethroughout the construction process is priceless. My wife and I appreciate and respect their design aesthetic, and we get along famously with the team. You spend a lot of time with your architects--make sure you like them as people. They will likely be our first dinner guests at our new house! We chose dSPACE over the other architects we interviewed for many reasons. The biggest factor was their project management service. Throughout our entire project they effectively handled every detail. We thought about hiring a GC without a design architect--that would have been a HUGE mistake. If we had to do it all over, we would absolutely choose dSPACE again. We knew we had a challenging project on our hands. The house we chose to renovate had the right footprint, on the right street, in the right neighborhood. But we wanted to change everything inside! My wife and I are not handy people and had no idea how to get to the vision we had. From our very first conversation with dSPACE, they explored our ideas and found realistic solutions within a couple of percentage points of estimated pricing. dSPACE also challenged us to think about our design goals--in the best way possible--to further develop them while being realistic and within budget. Kevin and his team were passionate about keeping a consistent theme throughout the entire house so that everything would flow. Their ability to tie the house together is something we had not thought of and are very grateful for.

We hired George and his team for a full renovation, and the experience was completely different from any contractor we've worked with before. From the start, he approached the project with a clear plan, realistic budgeting, and a structured preconstruction phase that helped us understand exactly what we were getting into before any work began. What stood out most was the level of organization and communication. Every decision was explained, timelines were clear, and we always knew what the next step was. There were no surprises, no guesswork, and no disappearing acts--just steady, professional progress. The craftsmanship was excellent, but more importantly, the process felt controlled and thoughtful from beginning to end. George was on site, involved, and detail-oriented. He treated our home with respect and made sure everything was done the right way, not just the fast way.

Guided us to help make the best decisions for ourselves throughout the renovation of our home in Lakeview. Never once did I feel as if my project and my needs were not prioritized. When I called, George always answered. No matter how many questions I had for him he never allowed us to feel as if we were out of line. His approach on site began with direct oversight which lasted consecutively until the completion of the our renovation. He managed the material/equipment logistics within our building, cooperating with building management, and inspected his team's work daily. He ensured that the overall environment was always clean and organized. They came up with a plan and worked their plan to a successful finish. I came home one day to a completely transformed space of new paint colors, kitchen, bathrooms, ceilings, and flooring. Lastly, I have to mention that George was driven by the vision we all came up with and executed it with our own personalized intentions- top of mind. Thank you George and team! You guys rock!

I beliv they are running a Ponzi scheme of a company, or at least that is what it appears to be with the amount of work they are getting done around here. It seems like they used our money to get their bigger clients' jobs done and not our job. The amount of work they have finish in the past five months could have been done in 4 or 5 weeks. There have not shown up to work for muliple weeks, and when the do show up it is one or two days and they only get one thing done. Don't fall for the "you need to pay us money at differen phases" and then they don't show up. They claim this doesn't usually happen but they are NOT doing anything to get things done any faster. They continue to tell us someone is coming to do such and such work and NOBODY shows up.

Greg was our project manager and an excellent communicator via text, email, and phone calls at all times of the day - I swear the man doesn't sleep! We lived in our home during the 4 month renovation project and Greg was outstanding at explaining which crew would be onsite each day, which was reassuring from a security perspective. Furthermore, Greg was constantly checking in with me to gauge my satisfaction and he worked really well with my kitchen and bath designer. When issues arose, Greg contacted me immediately to provide suggested solutions and his professional recommendations, which I appreciated. I never felt like I was being sold on a larger scope solution. Greg works with the best and tidiest tradesmen in Chicagoland. I would recommend any of the carpenters, tile installers, masons, electricians, flooring installers, painters, and wallpaper installers that Greg used during our project. At the end of each day they spent the last 20-30 minutes cleaning up the worksite - very much appreciated. I would recommend MG Bros Construction for anyone looking to do a home remodel. I had a vision and they implemented it perfectly. I'm looking forward to our upstairs remodel in the next 5 years - I'll definitely be using Greg and his team again!
