Testimonials

I was introduced to Metropolitan Building Systems Corporation through a client who was completing an extensive addition and renovation of a suburban home. I was immediately impressed with Paul Wilkes’ building knowledge. I have subsequently recommended Paul to clients who were completing renovations in a variety of building types with varying project scopes. Paul approaches each project with careful consideration, presents options, and works collaboratively with the home owner, design professionals and the trades.

...thank you again for the great job you did on our house...It was also nice to have three of the same workers on the job from the start to finish, and the time spent on the little things...that shows a great diversity in the crews skill. To sum it up, we'd never think that we could come in contact with such a professional...company that left us feeling so secure about our home.

...Metro Building Systems Corp. reconstructed my home 5 years ago....I found his work to be of a high quality. (In fact, my architect commented, following her initial walk through that the framing work was excellent).
