The Home You Love.
Completely Transformed.
Love your neighborhood but need a completely different home? MSP Homes handles the full renovation — design by Maria, built by Scott — so you never have to coordinate multiple contractors.
Design & Build Under One Roof
Most homeowners have to hire a designer, then find a contractor, then manage the relationship between them — and then spend months mediating between the two. With MSP Homes, design and construction are unified from day one. The result: a buildable design, a realistic budget, and a single team that owns the outcome from first sketch to final walkthrough.

What Style Is Your Home?
The Twin Cities metro is home to some of the most architecturally diverse neighborhoods in the Midwest. From 1920s Craftsman bungalows in South Minneapolis to 1970s split-levels in the suburbs, each style has its own renovation opportunities — and its own challenges. Explore the 9 most common MSP house styles and the color palettes that work best for each.
Craftsman / Bungalow
The defining style of Minneapolis neighborhoods — wide front porches, tapered columns, exposed rafter tails, and rich woodwork throughout. Warm earthy tones with natural wood accents.

From Vision to Completion
Whole-home remodels are complex. Here's how MSP Homes manages every phase.
Discovery & Vision
We start with a deep conversation about how you live, what frustrates you about your current home, and what your dream home looks like. Maria documents your style preferences, must-haves, and wishlist.
Design Development
Maria develops a comprehensive design plan — floor plan changes, material palettes, fixture selections, and 3D visualizations. You see exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Scope & Estimating
Scott develops a detailed scope of work and line-item estimate. Whole-home remodels require careful sequencing — we map out every phase so you understand the full picture.
Permits & Pre-Construction
We pull all necessary permits, order long-lead materials, and schedule subcontractors. Proper pre-construction planning is what separates smooth projects from chaotic ones.
Structural & Mechanical
Demo, structural changes (wall removals, beam installations), plumbing rerouting, electrical panel upgrades, and HVAC modifications. The bones of your new home.
Envelope & Insulation
Windows, exterior doors, insulation upgrades, and air sealing — often overlooked but critical for comfort and energy efficiency in Minnesota's climate.
Interior Rough Work
Drywall, subfloor prep, tile backer, and all rough-in work completed and inspected before finish work begins.
Finish Work
Flooring, tile, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, trim, paint, and accessories — installed in sequence by experienced tradespeople. Maria oversees all finish selections.
Final Walkthrough
A thorough walkthrough of every room, punch-list completion, and final cleaning. 2-year workmanship warranty on all work.

What Our Clients Say
"We worked with Maria and Scott on the design and build of our full kitchen and entry remodel in Minneapolis. 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."
"MSP did a fabulous reconstruction of our kitchen! Scott Palmer was very flexible to work with. We especially appreciated working with his designer. We highly recommend him."
"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."
"Scott did a full basement/bathroom renovation for us in SW Minneapolis. He was very easy and fun to work with. He was also cognizant of our budget, allowing us to scale back in certain areas and work with us to determine how to best fit within the amount we wanted to spend."
"MSP re-tiled our fireplace, updated bathroom and installed can lights in family room. Tile work was superb; Craftsmanship and designs for bathroom were spot-on and electricians were speedy!"
