MGZ Design & Construction

Perfection. … this is the faultless word that comes into my head after I moved into my new house. How I love the many extra artistic touches that my builder added. There is no compromising in any area, and to think how I nervously came through the first very powerful storm. My house is rock-solid!

Over the past 8 years, we have turned to MGZ Design & Construction for our major remodeling projects, initially due to a stellar recommendation from a friend, but subsequently because of their superb craftsmanship and dependability. The projects included two bathroom renovations and a major kitchen renovation. With each project, Michaels Gelb and Zayac and the extended team at MGZ delivered a refreshingly consistent and positive experience across the board, from design to budget to execution to finished product. These types of projects can go sideways for any number of reasons, not the least of which for us is that we have a 100+ year old house that comes with its share of surprises. Michael Gelb worked closely with us in making sensible choices that matched our creative vision. Once work began, he proactively managed all aspects of the project, and proactively communicated throughout. Everyone who came to do work in our home, whether part of MGZ or subcontracted, was courteous and efficient. Finally, we are extremely pleased with the end results. In the pictures, you can see some of their handiwork, including custom-designed cherry cabinets with ebony pegs. We wanted cabinets which expressed some of the aesthetics found in famous Greene and Greene Arts & Crafts designs, and we worked collaboratively with them to end up with a truly beautiful end product.

MGZ Designer, Michael Gelb, and his partner builder, Michael Zayac, turned our 100 year old house into a luxury living space. MGZ offers design and construction with a high degree of professionalism. Everyone on the team was most talented and friendly. Complete construction documents were provided and on-going consultations to assure our satisfaction. The attention to detail, the consideration of our budget, the prompt response to our inquiries all contributed to a very positive experience during a long renovation. We are very satisfied customers in our extremely functional and beautiful new old house. We recommend this company without reservation.
