Most importantly, MSK listened to all our conditions, likes and dislikes and never really went over budget at all and even finished the work ahead of time which is unheard of in construction industry! Kat, Kelly, Curt and all of them were detail oriented, patient, and we loved working with them. It showed their experience in this industry and all the vendors they work with were also great. Communication was easy with CoConstruct and it was great to not to have to deal with every small thing. MSK took care of all the permits, engineering and inspection paperwork's which I think was the biggest hurdle prior to actual work. I would highly recommend MSK!

I had been wanting to remodel my kitchen and living areas for the last few years. My first phone…read morecall was to Kat, the co-owner at MSK Design Build. She spent close to an hour with me on the phone and provided a rough idea of budget as well as ideas to make the job more cost effective. Following that, I spent several months and considerable time meeting with several other designers/builders in my area. As a result, my decision to work with MSK is based as follows: 1. They spent the most time and effort upfront to provide a realistic estimate and made every effort to include costs that others overlooked (i.e. asbestos abatement). 2. They were very clear about the process and scheduling for the job. The utilize an application that is transparent for both the client and themselves. It was very clear to me that responsibilities were well defined in their company. 3. They took the time to explain the details of the job to me. Prior to signing design contract, they were available to answer any questions or concerns I brought up. 4. Specific personnel would be assigned to my job. It would not vary throughout the duration. 5. The fact that they design AND build (from their own design) was appealing because that would minimize any discrepancies between a separate design company and a separate build company. Linda was my designer. Although she is now retired, she has many years of experience in design. She did an outstanding job in the new layout of my kitchen. In additions, she made other helpful suggestions of things that I was not aware of or had overlooked. To help me select materials, she assisted in every step with flooring, plumbing fixtures, tile, counter tops, etc. She made appointments with their vetted venders and we would go together to make the selections. Linda had a clear understanding of my preferences and guided me towards making sound decisions. I was very pleased with the trades people who performed the work. Joe was the lead carpenter. He was meticulous and took great pride in his work. He did an excellent job of installing the new cabinets, casing work and trim details. Shawn was the painter assigned to my project, and again, his expertise and experience was evident in the finished project. Jorge was the plumber for the job and like the others, his work efforts were appreciated and his abilities added to the job success. These individual's main concern was to do a job I was pleased with and I never felt their extra efforts or time spent were a burden to them. Like their vendors, MSK have several years of working with the subcontractors used for the tile work, electrical, counter tops and sheetrock. They were all professional, timely and courteous. Communication throughout he project was outstanding. Curt was my Project Manager. Any e-mails, text messages, concerns, etc. were addressed and answered promptly. The work areas were always clean at the end of the day and construction debris was removed promptly. The project came in on schedule and on budget. MSK did exactly what they said they would do. I was very pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend MSK Design Build for anyone who is looking for a reputable company.

And Julie, the property manager, was always friendly, kind, and easy to work with. That honestly made a big difference over the years. Anytime we had questions or needed something, she was approachable and helpful. We didn't need maintenance often, but when we did, it was handled quickly and without any hassle, which I definitely appreciated. Staying somewhere for 4+ years probably says the most--we were comfortable there and felt taken care of. We left the area for work, not because of any issues with the condo itself. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place that's well-managed and responsive.

I love this father and son team so much I can't wait to buy another place so I can work with them…read moreagain. My remodeling work included two bathrooms, entire floor, and kitchen update. Firstly, I was super busy flying for work when I remodeled my condo. I talked to several contractors before I came across Larry/Jake, and immediately I knew I found the one. All other contractors asked me what I wanted to do with the condo. Larry/ Jake saw my place and gave me a list of possible improvements. I told them I'm busy so they took the initiative to be more proactive. They asked my design taste, and they came up with everything and all I had to do was "yup I like it" or "nope let's try something else" (99% spot on!). Secondly, they are very professional. Once remodeling started, Jake was very good about communicating progress and giving me detailed updates. This isn't the first time I'm remodeling a place, so I know how things can quickly go wrong- Jake and his team was extremely detailed and particular about how to do certain things so the end product would look great. And it does. AND I get all the credit from my friends who visit my place! Thirdly, they are flexible with budget. I could tell they are all about "quality" not about being the most cheap. When I expressed my concern around budget, they came up with many many ideas to fit my design needs yet wallet too. For example, instead of covering the entire bathroom wall with expensive tile, just cover one wall so it's cost effective yet makes a statement. For kitchen appliances, Jake went far and beyond to find stainless steel appliances that look good, got good reviews, fit the original size, AND super affordable! I can't imagine how many hours it must have take him to do that. Larry and Jake, thank you so much for all your hard work! I love my place!!

We…read morewanted to completely renovate and modernize the space, including reworking the layout, but weren't sure what was possible. Palazzo's team made the entire process seamless and stress-free, from design and material selection to planning and construction. Rebeca, our designer, was professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. What impressed us most was her understanding of both design and construction. Because our project involved moving plumbing and walls, she ensured every design decision was both beautiful and practical. She thoughtfully guided us toward a timeless design, reviewed the estimate thoroughly upfront to set clear expectations, and remained involved throughout the project. Arturo, our project manager, was wonderful to work with. He was experienced, dependable, and easy to talk to. It was obvious he genuinely cared about doing the job right. He kept the project organized and on schedule, stopped by several times a week to check on the progress, and was always available whenever we had questions. His leadership kept the project running smoothly, and we always felt confident that the project was in good hands. The construction team - Rolando, Rodolfo, Cesar, Freddo, and Jorge - was fantastic to work with. They were always punctual, respectful, highly skilled, and a pleasure to have in our home. They kept the workspace clean and organized every day, and the quality of their work was excellent. Rolando and Rodolfo handled the demolition professionally, Cesar kept the project running smoothly and paid close attention to every detail, Freddo did a great job with framing, molding, and painting, and Jorge's beautiful tile work truly elevated the finished bathroom. Remodeling can be stressful, but this project never felt chaotic. Everything stayed organized, and we always knew what was happening. The finished bathroom is beautiful, functional, and turned out even better than we had hoped. The project was completed on time and within budget. Throughout the process, it was clear that Palazzo is a well-run company that takes pride in the quality of its work and cares about its customers. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again and would confidently recommend them to our friends and family.
