We came to Moneca with a design concept but Moneca quickly envisioned a much better plan. Her team went through every detail during the design phase to maximize the use of space while emphasizing multiple uses for each space. Now we are in the construction phase and they are ahead of schedule and on budget even after discovering some surprises an old house can hide. We feel confident that Moneca and her team are going to deliver what they promised and give us our dream home.

We hired MKDB to redesign the front of the house and to build and managed the actual renovations. We found the staff to be very knowledgeable, courteous and great listeners. They sat down with us to hear our ideas and came back with a design that truly elevated the look of our home's exterior facade, roofline and front porch, They made sure that we were fully aware of the cost of the project and any potential costs that could arise, so that we did not have to worry about additional costs after the project started. Like the previous renovation with them, they came in on time and on budget, just like they promised.

We are delighted with our renovation - it truly transformed our livingspace - and we very much appreciated the open design-first approach.

Moneca and her whole team were trustworthy, reliable, and professional. We were extremely impressed with their skill and meticulous attention to detail. We actually started out with another designer, but pricing concerns late in that process led us to ask Moneca for a second opinion. She reassured us on the price, but suggested a very different layout that made so much sense that we had to switch. Moneca’s people were very organized and helped guide us through the whole process, by narrowing down fixture choices and even giving advice on furnishings. They started on schedule and got us back into the house on time. We are thrilled with the result and highly recommend Moneca and her team!

Moneca Kaiser Design Build's philosophy resonated perfectly with our vision for small-home living. Moneca and her team listened carefully to our priorities and were able to quickly turn out a highly functional design, without having to increase our home's original square footage. We especially appreciate that the seamless flow and unity of the whole home was considered.

Moneca is generous with her insight and was very helpful in visualizing our dream kitchen. Without a doubt, her expertise in home renovations and interior design speak volumes.

Moneca often would challenge us to stay true to our needs and not be persuaded by the latest home magazine. As a result, we ended up with a new home design that compliments our lifestyle and values. Our home allows us to enjoy our family as we had dreamed -- thank you Moneca and the MDKB team!

Moneca and her team are true professionals, super creative and great to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help on a home design or renovation.

She listened attentively to my needs and desires to improve the flow and function of my home and offered 3 very clever options that answered beautifully. I particularly appreciated her honesty and advice on where best to spend my dollars for the greatest impact. and where I should leave things as is. I highly recommend this designer.

In a nutshell, MKDB is about trust and respect. Not once did we ever feel that our ideas were being ignored or dismissed; if there was a disagreement it was always handled with an eye to a resolution that we were happy with ... and that MKDB could also be happy with as well. It has felt absolutely like MKDB was as invested in the success of our renovation as we were...rather than us just being another set of clients with another project.

Moneca exudes a humble confidence and truly cares about doing what is best for her client. I appreciated her honesty and realistic approach to design. Even though I have been living in this house for four years dreaming about what changes we could make to improve its function for our family, Moneca managed to come up with innovative design solutions that I had not considered. I strongly recommend Moneca and her team. They are professional, talented and a pleasure to work with.

Unlike similar professionals in town, she will connect deeply with you, your family and the space she will create. Provided with an extraordinary design intuition, many years of experience, and a visionary mind, she will transform your space into something unique, considering the visible and the invisible. She will adress functionality, durability and sustainability, while creating designs that restore your family connections, health and happiness. The final result is a truly beautiful space that will last for a lifetime.

MKDB designed and looked after the complete renovation of our kitchen and living room and are currently designing the makeover of the front exterior of the house. The design work has been exceptional. The staff have been efficient and courteous. The communications regarding our wishes has been very cooperative. Their supervision of the builders has been excellent. Their prices have been competitive with other firms. We continue to use the firm regularly for any design and build jobs that we have.

Moneca spent time with us to understand the how, why and what we were trying to change in our home. We felt at ease after our first meeting with her, when she dissuaded us from renovating our staircase (which she was prepared to do if we insisted) as she felt that it would not further our vision, particularly in view of how much it would cost. We really appreciated this advice as it demonstrated to us that she cared about the project not only aesthetically but also from a practical and budget perspective.

WE also appreciated Moneca's attention to environmental stewardship and to the use of healthy and ecological materials in our home. Moneca had lots of helpful ideas on how to integrate these healthier materials into our projects (while always keeping within our budget). It is wonderful to know we have a healthier and greener home for us and our children now. Moneca's strongest asset is her ability to communicate clearly, always with warmth and kindness, with her clients and with her employees. It is worth noting that the project came in on budget. We are very happy with our new kitchen and dining room, and with the transformation of our backyard into a little sanctuary of calm in the city. We have recommended Moneca's services to a number of our friends.

Moneca confidently and creatively offered a practical, innovative plan that we would never have thought of, making the best use of space and light. The work was completed as promised in efficient time, and minimal hassle.
