I approached Metropolitan kitchen and bath regarding my kitchen reno because they are a provider of Caesar Stone and I really wanted a particular black quartz counter that had a crocodile inlay pattern to it. I had already gone to IKEA for the new cupboards so I brought Lisa my kitchen plan that I already had developed. They were very accommodating to allow the work to be split between themselves and the PEG company that does the contracting work for IKEA. Comparing quotes for the electrical, plumbing and appliance hookup, I decided to have metropolitan do all the kitchen work. I felt like I got a friendlier more personal experience working with Metropolitan than the IKEA contractors. Metropolitan even installed my IKEA cupboards as well.
Lisa was a great help in making some of the style choices such as floor tile, paint colour, etc. I felt confident that the options we were going with would work well together.
Mike was great at laying out different options during the construction that I hadn't considered and keeping all the work costs transparent. I was never pressured to make any changes I wasn't comfortable with and I always had all the information and alternatives presented to me for any decision I did need to make. Every worker from the flooring, painting, plumbing or electrical all showed up when they said they would and the work was done when it was expected to be. My only regret was going to IKEA for the cupboards in the first place. Although custom cabinet work costs a bit more, the IKEA set system will never fit exactly as you would like.
The Met team are all great people that I will definitely trust to do more work for me in the future.
