What our customers are saying

Working with Metropolitan, the communication that I got from them, at least weekly, and at times daily, with project updates and where we stood, photos of the project was just so impressive to me.  I would recommend Metropolitan to anyone that I know for a particular project, and would absolutely use them for future projects.

 – Brian Chao, Chief Financial Officer, Starkloff Disability Institute, St. Louis, MO

The reason we chose to work with Metropolitan Build was that we needed a builder and a general contractor that could go and take an existing building, find what are the good bones left there, and then take that to the very high level of finish that we were looking for, and they did it in a cost-effective way. They knew were to spend to dollars and cents, vs. hey I can get you that same look, but save you a lot of money and time with that.

– John Bergida, Chief Executive Officer, Micron Pure, Fenton, MO

Having never taken on any challenge of this sort, I found myself wrestling with inner fears. When any group of people trust you to lead them to the right choice or decision, the responsibility of getting it right weighs on you. After receiving proposals from three contractors, we were impressed that Mr. Jay Simon and this team at Metropolitan Build were the “Right Choice”. WE GOT IT RIGHT! For the last ten years, I constantly hear Parents commenting on how beautiful the building is. (I smile every-time!) I am so grateful that Our Ministry was directed to Metro Build.

– Pastor Gary P., Florissant, MO

I am pleased to enthusiastically recommend the design build services of the St. Louis-based firm Metropolitan Build. The completed $2 million dollar expansion has exceeded my expectations in both quality and functionality. I was perhaps most impressed with Metropolitan’s continued service after their last invoice was paid. After construction completion, Metropolitan has been attentive and responsive to ensure that the project continues to meet our needs and expectations.

– Andy H., Executive Director, Campbell House Museum, St. Louis, MO

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the team at Metropolitan Build for the work you have performed for our offices spaces and Business Development Center. You produced a beautiful finished space that we and the State’s staff and the executive team are all proud of.

– DeBorah A., Executive Director, Better Family Life, St. Louis, MO

Metropolitan Build, with owner Jay Simon and his team, have proven to be a highly valued consultant and design build general contractor for us at the historic Castaneda Frisco building in downtown St Louis. Metropolitan has provided inspired design coupled with skilled renovation services for several of our office suites. We’re very pleased that all projects have been completed ahead of schedule and within the constraints of our budget.

— Nicolas C., St. Louis MO

We have worked with many different contractors and consider ourselves pretty well-versed in home renovations at this point. Jay Simon of Metropolitan Build is hands-down the best contractor we have worked with. This was a large project and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Jay was extremely responsive throughout the entire process.
