Why MSP Homes

You're Never Left in the Dark

A kitchen remodel is a big investment — and a big disruption. MSP Homes is built around one principle: you always know exactly what's happening, what's next, and who to call.

Dedicated PM Who Thrives on Communication
Your project has a dedicated project manager whose job is to keep you informed — not just when problems arise, but proactively. Expect regular updates, quick responses, and zero radio silence.
Everything in Buildertrend
We run every project through Buildertrend, a professional construction management platform. Your schedule, selections, daily logs, photos, invoices, and change orders are all in one place — accessible from your phone 24/7.
Close Collaboration with Our Designers
Maria works hand-in-hand with Scott's crew throughout the project — not just at the start. Every cabinet placement, tile layout, and finish detail is reviewed so nothing gets lost in translation between design and construction.
Workmanship Warranty
All MSP Homes kitchen remodels include a 2-year workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we fix it — no questions asked, no runaround.

The Process

From Concept to Completion

Here's exactly how a kitchen remodel works with MSP Homes — no surprises, no guesswork.

01

Design Consultation

We sit down with you — both Scott and Maria — to understand how you use your kitchen, what frustrates you about the current layout, and what your dream kitchen looks like. Maria's design background means you get real design guidance, not just a contractor's opinion.

02

Space Planning & Layout

Scott evaluates the structural possibilities — load-bearing walls, plumbing locations, electrical capacity. Maria designs the new layout optimized for the kitchen work triangle, traffic flow, and your specific cooking habits.

03

Material Selection

We guide you through cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures. Maria has preferred vendor relationships that give you access to premium materials at better prices than retail.

04

Detailed Proposal

You receive a line-item proposal with no hidden costs. We break down labor, materials, permits, and contingency so you know exactly what you're paying for.

05

Demolition & Rough Work

Scott's crew handles demo, framing, plumbing rough-in, and electrical. We protect the rest of your home and maintain a clean, organized jobsite throughout.

06

Installation & Finishing

Cabinets, countertops, tile, appliances, fixtures, and trim — installed in the right sequence by the right tradespeople. Scott is on-site daily to ensure quality.

07

Final Walkthrough

We walk through every detail together. Any punch-list items are resolved before we consider the project complete. You get a warranty on all workmanship.

Design Studio

Not Sure of Your Style?

Take our quick Style Quiz to discover your design aesthetic — whether it's modern farmhouse, transitional, contemporary, or classic. Maria uses your results to guide every material and finish selection.

The entire MSP Homes team was pleasant to work with, they were skilled with both the design and construction phases of the project and when issues did come up (which is inevitable in any major project) they handled them professionally."

"Scott and the MSP Team built us our dream space. What started as a kitchen remodel turned into a larger vision that allowed us to maximize our space and reimagine our existing footprint. Our home now flows better, looks modern, and is ideal for family movie nights, hosting Vikings watch parties, and entertaining."

"Scott and his team built out an office in an unfinished corner of our basement and also remodeled our bathroom. Using MSP Construction was the best decision I have made since we purchased our house almost 6 years ago. They did a FANTASTIC job on both projects, but also provided expertise on both and were incredibly easy to work with."
