Home Remodeling

I have done a number of construction projects in my day and working with Jonathan and his company was the EASIEST and SMOOTHEST process of them all. I love that Metropolis Drafting and Construction is a one stop shop! Jonathan takes care of everything from the design, to the permits, and the construction. His attention to detail and his dedication to every project puts you at ease when working through a stressful project. Jonathan gutted and completely redesigned our master suit and built an ensuite for our daughter. He also completely redesigned and built and new built-in for us in our living room, which we LOVE! We love all the work Jonathan and his team has done and we will use him for all our future construction needs. His work is high quality and thoughtful and is eye for design is super helpful when picking tile, stone, etc. We can’t recommend them enough! If you have a project you want done look no further, Metropolis Drafting and Construction Inc is the company for you!

We bid our recent project, a remodel of a 2 bedroom 1 bath home in Silverlake, to multiple contractors. Jonathan was the last contractor to see the home. Because we simply didn’t need anyone else to see the place after he came in. The second I met him I knew he was the person to take over and manage the project. Before we even stepped into the home, he pointed out a complex and symmetrical and intricate spider web outside on our porch. I just knew he had the kind of attention to detail we needed. He was the only person to reimagine the space in a way we wanted but nobody before could do. His background as both an accomplished and skilled architect and contractor helped tremendously. He had a beautiful and thoughtful idea to transform our 2 bedroom 1 bath home into a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home without even needing to increase square footage. He kept our cost minimal and he was able to bring immense value to our home. Design, planning, and pulling permits promptly with incredible ease to start the project? Check, check, and check!

Now off to the demo and construction! Impeccable and quality workmanship. We love how the home feels. It’s not just an aesthetic feeling, but we can feel the solid foundation and flooring when we walk through. We loved all the design recommendations for paint, cabinets, flooring, etc. I think almost everything Jonathan suggested, we were sold. He has a true eye for modern design and esthetics. He stuck to our timeline and truly delivered with stunning results. One thing about Jonathan is he is a great communicator. We have dealt with many setbacks during prior remodeling/construction projects, and it’s inevitable. But one thing we truly appreciate about Jonathan is he doesn’t just come to you with the problem, but he already has the solution or multiple solutions. This was a very low stress project for us because of Jonathan’s calm, meticulous, and detail-oriented approach to reimagining and transforming our space. We couldn’t be more happy with the results.

We recently completed a major remodeling of our home, involving reconfiguring our kitchen layout, installing all new custom cabinets and appliances, replacing all flooring, opening a wall, upgrading the stair bannisters from wood to wrought iron, installation of french doors, wall paneling and tiling, and painting We selected Jonathan and his company Metropolis Drafting & Construction to be our primary design architect and contractor after interviewing several companies.

We could not be any happier with our choice. Jonathan is a true professional, and a rarity in the world of contracting. He is an architect by training, and has an outstanding design eye. Jonathan made countless recommendations to us on layouts, coloring and choice of materials that really helped us to land on a design and materials that we loved. He gained a quick understanding of our tastes in style and color, and all of his design recommendations were presented in very easy to visualize 3D drawings.

Once we started construction Jonathan was on top of every step and detail in the demolition and construction process. He advised us up front on all of the projected costs, including detailed cost breakouts when requested. Our project was projected to run for 4-5 months, and we finished right on time due to Jonathan’s outstanding focus on scheduling his work crews and ensuring materials were available when needed. Jonathan and his crews did all of the work compliant with local county building codes, and Jonathan personally managed the entire building permit and approval process to successful completion.

Jonathan is also outstanding on any follow up items. As with any construction project, there will always be one or two small issues that surface after a job is completed, like a cracked tile or small paint or stain blemishes. All it takes is a single call to Jonathan and he will have one of his crew arrive promptly to correct the defects. Jonathan warrants all of his work, and he absolutely backs his warranty as evidenced by our experiences with him.

We absolutely love the results of our remodeling project. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Jonathan as our designer and contractor, and will not hesitate to use him again in the future for additional projects. We highly recommend Jonathan and Metropolis Drafting & Construction to anyone looking for outstanding design and construction services!

We worked with Jonathan on a full house remodeling project, inside and outside the house. Although it was quite stressful for me as being my first remodeling project, Jonathan have made this process simple and painless. He is very collaborative, open-minded, patient and thorough contractor. He has a vast experience that allows him to properly plan, recommend, troubleshoot and esthetically execute any project. I could not have been happier with the results. He works with great teams of specialists, that are knowledgeable and receptive. I was picky, indecisive and demanding high standards. Jonathan offered patience, resolutions and superior quality. In addition, he is very friendly, communicative, and most importantly, honest. Jonathan is a gem, look no further!

Jonathan and team are truly exceptional. We did a major remodel of our first floor during covid and not only are the results spectacular, we encountered none of the nightmare scenarios people always warned us about with contractors. Jonathan was always available, always engaged, supervised a great deal of the work himself, and never made us feel like we were a burden when we called with questions or concerns.

One of the things we really appreciated was his sense of design. We struggled at the beginning of our project over whether or not to hire an interior designer. After seeing some of Jonathans previous work and discussing our style with him, we felt confident in his choices and we are 100% happy with the finishes and style he brought to the project.

Can’t say enough good things about the Metropolis team. We’ve recommended them to friends and neighbors, and they’ll be our first call on future remodel projects.
