The heart of your home, designed around the way you really live.

Savage grew up fast. The city went from roughly 4,000 people in 1980 to more than 21,000 by 2000, and the median home here was built around 1997. That means a huge share of Savage kitchens are original builder installs from the late-1990s and 2000s two-story boom, or dated layouts in the earlier ramblers near the river. For Savage homeowners, that usually shows up as oak cabinets, laminate counters, a cramped peninsula, and a wall closing the kitchen off from the family room. We design and build the full remodel under one roof, so the people who draw your new layout are the ones who build it.
The most common request we hear across Savage is simply opening things up. Those 1990s and 2000s floor plans in areas like Dufferin Park were built with a distinct kitchen, dining, and living room, and today families want one connected space with a real island. We handle the structural side, load-bearing walls, beam sizing, moving the range or sink, rerouting plumbing and electrical, so the wall comes down cleanly and passes inspection with Scott County. You get honest written pricing before demolition starts and a schedule we hold to, so you are not living around an open kitchen for months.
Because so much of Savage housing is 20 to 30 years old, we also see plenty of good bones that just need a smart refresh rather than a gut. We will tell you honestly which it is. Whether it is new cabinets and quartz in a solid 2005 two-story or a full reconfiguration in an older home off Highway 13, we keep one team and one point of contact from design through the final walkthrough. MDR is based in Farmington and works throughout Savage, and we are MN licensed (BC694036) and EPA Lead-Safe for the older pre-1978 homes closer to the Minnesota River.
