Metropolitan Custom Homes

Metropolitan Homes completed a quality renovation and addition on our home. In addition to updating existing bedroom closets, two new baths and new master bedroom was added. John Ogle was on site daily and supervised the entire project. The renovation was completed in 6 months and John was fantastic to work it.

As a custom home designer, I thoroughly enjoy working with Metropolitan Custom Homes. Not only are they intent on producing the best product for their customers, the process of creating a dream home with them involved leaves my team to do our best work. They trust our judgement, but are also very involved in the budgeting process, so that there are no surprises to them nor the client. I have referred many customers to Metropolitan Custom Homes, and will continue to do so because of their professional customer service and attention to detail.

We have worked with Metropolitan Custom Homes; going on 10 years. we do the custom cabinets and trim work in these homes; and install the finish hardware. homeowner get what they want ; have not had an unsatisfied customer, these guys are professionals!

Metropolitan Custom Homes handled our renovation project starting in December of 2014. Throughout the process, the company was properly staffed, attentive to the "small" details and addressed any issues that we encountered along the way. While I had heard horror stories from people dealing with contractors, Metropolitan Custom Homes was exactly the opposite. Stuart Beken and his staff are the utmost professionals and did everything they said they would do and more. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation project.

Metropolitan Custom Homes was a delight to work with. They were responsive to our communications, performed high quality work and were always ready to make changes or do what was necessary to get things "right." We also found their experience invaluable since this was our first time to build a custom home and there were many things that we did not know. One of Metropolitan's best qualities is their timeliness. They keep the process moving and we never felt like our house was being neglected or that work was not progressing. We also were impressed with the different trade crews that were used to work on the house, the head painter especially was particular that the job was done right. We would definitely build with Metropolitan again.

Metropolitan Custom Homes makes you want to remodel your home just so you can use their services! I contracted with Metropolitan to do a total remodel of my kitchen and Master suite. Mine was a unique situation in which a comple renovation of a home was being handled by two contractors. Metropolitan exceded my expectations in timeliness, workmanship and professionalism. I have now contracted with them to correct the mistakes made by the other contractor. I recommend Metropolitan Custom Homes without reservations.

We hired Metropolitan Custom Homes/Stuart Beken to build our new, unique home. Our home is built around a 100+ yr old grain silo so it was a bit more complicated than your normal build but Stuart was definitely up to the task. If something popped up that Stuart wasn't familiar with, he would take the time and do the research, make a call or two, to make sure the issue was handled correctly. Stuart was very involved in the project throughout the almost 2 years and was always available when we had a problem or question. The sub-contractors Stuart had on the project were those that he's worked with on many other homes which I think is very important. If something wasn't done quite up to our specifications, there was no problem in getting it corrected quickly. Even though we've been in the house since Nov 2014, Stuart is still involved, tying up some loose ends. It's comforting to know that he'll stay involved with the project until it is completely complete! Stuart and his project manager John Ogle (who came into this project towards the end) are both a joy to work with. They know what it takes to get a house built and how to do it! I would recommend Metropolitan Custom Homes for your next project!!

Metropolitan Custom Homes is a fine company that completed our project on time, with integrity, honesty and excellent communication. This being my first build and very concerned with budgeting, I was very pleased to have the owner and his employees understand and work with me at any point needed. The quality and craftsmanship of the home is excellent, with the ability to pick and choose items within a sufficient budget. Building homes clearly has situations that are inside and outside the control of the builder and his subcontractors. I was very pleased that the subcontractors were for the most part respectful and more importantly detailed in their work. With the one subcontractor that was behind the curve, they were dealt with and we were able to move on quickly. The owner and the employees of Metropolitan Custom Homes were very easy to communicate with and almost always available 7 days a week for questions. There is a bit of blind faith that a homeowner must put into his/her builder and I have to say that I am very pleased that Metropolitan Custom Homes has not cut corners or promise items that did not come to fruition. I give them 5 stars because of the quality, integrity, honesty, and excellent communication.

Metropolitan Custom Homes is one of the best custom homebuilders in Houston. I have never met someone in this industry who is more respected by those he works with and the contractors that work with him. Stuart Beken, the owner, is the nicest guy you'll meet and has a knack for taking your vision of what you want your home to be and making it happen. I can't wait to move and build another house, so we can work with Stuart and Metropolitan Custom Homes again.

Stuart Beken was an excellent person to work with. He promptly responded any phone calls and questions we had. We also didn't have any problems if we wanted to change anything. I would definately recommend him as a solid builder.

S Beken is a professional home builder; he built our farm house with quality and cost in his goals. I would recommend him; we would use him again is the best I can state Diane & Larry McWherter

We purchased our home from Stuart, who only uses the best. In fact, when we have done any remodeling or upgrading, such as intstalling a built in grill, he is the first person we call. We know he is going to get things done, even when there are hiccups and things don't go as planned. For instance, when the granite contractor did not deliver, he got someone else in there seamlessly. Furthermore, whenever we have needed information about a color, brand, or original installer for something in our house, he replies immediately, even though we closed three years ago. Love the personal touch.

I have know and worked with Stuart Beken from Metropolitan Builders for years and find he and his team to have the Highest Integrity and Ethics. They build a superb product with the greatest care and compassion for their clients. I would give them my highest recommendation.

Metropolitan Custom Homes is the best! We are so excited about our new house and so pleased that we hired such a top notch company. Stuart Beken and Metropolitan Custom Homes were on top of everything and my wife and I are extremely happy! I highly recommend this wonderful company!

Stuart Beken with Metropolitan Custom Homes is a shining star among custom luxury builders in the Houston area. It's all about the details.... Each home has many unique styles and unexpected materials inside and out, super clean and open design, and those special upgrades that make them truly one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Even with the most extravagant decor choices, the homes still reflect a comfortable lifestyle for the homeowner. I highly recommend Stuart.

I have worked with Stuart on several projects and have to say his attention to detail, relationships with his clients, and his professional approach to his projects is second to none. I would highly recommend Metropolitan Homes to anyone that is looking to build a new home in the Houston area.

Metropolitan Custom Homes made our home building process more than enjoyable - he made it easy and fun. Stuart utilized every single day with someone working on the structure to complete the house in the time he said. It was clear his sub-contractors highly respected Stuart, his opinion, and wanted his business. They were very professional and were a joy to work with. So much so, that we still wave when we see them at other construction in our neighborhood! He always responded to any questions immediately and makes you feel like your house is his only project. We can't wait to grow out of this house, so we can work with Metropolitan Custom Homes again! Stuart Beken is simply, the best.

Would highly recommend Metropolitan Custom Homes. We were interested in building a custom home in the Houston area but was wary of the process and also builders in general. We set out to interview as many builders in the general vicinity and found a very mixed-bag. Some of them were highly arrogant and others somewhat clueless. In the end, we stumbled upon Stuart Beken at Metropolitan Custom Homes. Stuart seemed honest and reasonable and we felt comfortable with him from the beginning. Stuart worked with us to better understand the process and was very responsive to our needs (and our tons of questions) but also respectful of our budget and time. He is very hands-on and pleasant to work with. We are now enjoying our new home and would strongly recommend Metropolitan. Thanks Stuart!
