The Beginning
MGD Builders was founded during a challenging time in the industry. In January 2010, after the housing crash left founder Matthew Ducharme without work, MGD Builders was born out of necessity. Matt took on a variety of jobs, doing everything he could to provide for his family. From cutting down trees to minor renovations, it was the start of something greater.
The Big Break
In 2014, MGD Builders earned its own license and started to build a reputation in the Scottsdale area. That year, the company took on commercial property management work and began to shift towards larger residential remodeling projects.
Shifting Focus
By 2017, the company found success in higher-end residential remodels in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and North Phoenix. MGD Builders expanded from commercial projects into high-end residential projects, focusing on delivering luxury finishes and comprehensive remodels.
Resilience and Growth
Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, 2020 was a pivotal year. MGD Builders used the opportunity to restructure how business was conducted, leading to the hire of key team members, including Director of Operations Jasmine Robinson and Director of Construction Ben Monje.
A New Era
In 2023, MGD Builders underwent a rebranding, solidifying its image as a leading design-build firm. The company grew its team and tackled its first multi-million dollar remodel, continuing to deliver outstanding craftsmanship and service across all projects.

What Our Clients Think
"We were impressed with your honesty and integrity. You are some of the nicest, most honorable people that we have ever met, much less worked with. You all keep your word and you respond promptly to your customers. I keep trying to find other projects around the house because we enjoy interfacing with all of you!"
What Our Clients Think
"What really sold us on you was your obvious genuineness, timeliness of the quote and listening skills throughout the project. You were very responsive to questions and kept us informed throughout the project. Next project is yours for sure!"
What Our Clients Think
"We were comfortable with your approach, your suggestions, your level of confidence in being able to do what we wanted with minimal impact to our lifestyle. The timeline was good and you came with a trusted recommendation."
What Our Clients Think
"After speaking with you we felt you had the experience and skill to complete the work we wanted. You did not disappoint us. You completed the work in a reasonable period of time. We were happy with the quality of your work and all of the people who you employed or contracted with."
What Our Clients Think
"You were referred to us by your electrician, who offers a different perspective than a homeowner. You were responsive, reasonable and easy to work with. This was the biggest financial decision I have made, and your approach allowed us to feel like we had better control of the job."
What Our Clients Think
"Your demeanor, trustworthy and knowledgeable, not a combination found often in my playbook. Once the project was started and I was able to interact with your team and subs, I was impressed with their willingness and interest to not only make it all come together successfully, but with attention to detail. And if there was an item noted by me, no one EVER exhibited annoyance or an unwillingness to make it right. Just doesn’t get any better than that."
What Our Clients Think
"Chose MGD to remodel our master bathroom. They did an excellent job. Very professional, mindful of property and health concerns. Came in on time and within budget. It was a pleasure working with Matt and the entire crew."
What Our Clients Think
"Cannot say enough good things about MGD Builders! Everything went smoothly, from our first meeting with Matt to the very last day of our project. Everyone at MGD was professional, very responsive, and committed to making sure things were done right. I’m sure MGD works on remodels that are much bigger than ours, but they made us feel like we were their most important clients. Our project was completed on schedule and on budget, and everything looks great!"
What Our Clients Think
"We renovated our entire house. New floors, doors, windows, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. We even removed a wall. We are beyond thrilled with the results. MGD was very professional and they were always easy to reach. We recommend them highly. Their contractor portal was a great way of keeping track of the project with daily updates and pictures. Very honest and honorable people."
What Our Clients Think
"Excellent detail-oriented work, and we're picky! MGD Builders remodeled an outside structure, installed two sets of French doors - one of which was replacing a window, so there was a lot of extra work involved, and helped us with a multitude of small repairs needed in our house. We'll definitely use them again if the need arises."
