Everything from
layout to light.
One point of contact for the whole kitchen — design help, permits, trades and finish work.
Layout & design
Rework the floor plan, move the sink or range, add an island or pantry. We help you plan a layout that works before anything is ordered.
Cabinetry
Shaker, slab or inset; painted or stained; to the ceiling with crown. Pantry pull-outs, drawers where you need them and panel ends on islands.
Countertops
Quartz and stone tops, templated and installed with sinks and cooktops cut in — including farmhouse and undermount sinks.
Tile & backsplash
Subway, chevron, herringbone or mosaic backsplashes, plus tile floors.
Lighting & electrical
Recessed cans, pendants over the island, under-cabinet lights and new circuits for appliances — by licensed electricians, with permits.
Plumbing & appliances
Sink, dishwasher, fridge water line and gas range hookups, plus vented range hoods.

Four steps,
no surprises.
Every MSA job starts with a written proposal: scope by trade, allowances, exclusions and a payment schedule tied to milestones — not the calendar.
Walkthrough
We measure the kitchen, talk through how you cook and live in it, and give you a straight read on budget before anything is drawn.
Layout & proposal
Cabinet layout, selections and a written proposal — scope by trade, allowances for the finishes you pick, and a milestone payment schedule.
Build
Demo, rough-in, inspections, cabinets, tops, tile and trim — scheduled in order so the kitchen is out of service as briefly as possible.
Final walk
We walk it with you, finish the punch list, and leave it clean and ready to cook in.
From our clients
“Nick guided us through the design process and gave excellent design suggestions that we ended up using. Everything was professional, timely, and very organized throughout the entire project.”
KIMBERLY · ANOKA · PANTRY, OFFICE & BUILT-INS“MSA helped us with two closet remodels and did a great job! They were very communicative, helpful with design layouts and the quality is outstanding.”
BECKY · CLOSET REMODELSKitchen questions
Do you help with the layout and design?
Yes. We walk through how you use the kitchen and help plan the layout, cabinet configuration and finishes before anything is ordered. Clients regularly tell us the design suggestions were their favorite part.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
It depends on the scope and on lead times for cabinets and counters, which are usually the longest items. Your proposal includes a schedule, and we sequence the trades so the kitchen is out of commission as briefly as possible.
Do I need a permit?
Most kitchen remodels that change plumbing, electrical or walls need one. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections for you.
Can I pick my own cabinets, counters and tile?
Yes. Your proposal includes allowances for the finishes you choose, so the price is clear up front and you still get to pick everything.
Do you also do pantries and built-ins?
Yes — walk-in pantries, wine bars, laundry rooms, mudrooms and office built-ins are some of our most-reviewed work.
