How We Turn Your Vision into Reality

At MGD Builders, we believe that successful projects stem from a clear, well-defined home remodeling process that emphasizes communication, collaboration, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Whether you’re embarking on a home renovation in Phoenix, AZ, or a targeted kitchen or bathroom upgrade, we ensure every step is purposeful and every decision aligns with your vision.

We’re not just building homes; we’re building relationships. Our commitment to your satisfaction and transparency ensures a stress-free, rewarding experience from the first call to the final walkthrough.

OUR PROVEN DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

01

Discovery Call

The first step in your home remodeling process begins with a discovery call, where we discuss your project’s potential. During this call, we’ll:

  • Understand your goals, vision, and requirements.
  • Provide an overview of our process.
  • Discuss potential investment ranges.
  • Answer any questions to ensure we’re the right fit for each other.

We encourage you to take the first step by booking your discovery call.

02

Walkthrough Meeting

Once we’ve aligned on your project, we’ll schedule a walkthrough to dig deeper into the details. This is when we:

  • Begin building rapport and trust.
  • Discuss must-haves, should-haves, could-haves, and wishlist items for your space.
  • Take precise measurements and assess your home.
  • Discuss the benefits of hiring a designer, which is highly recommended for complex or large-scale projects.

This step helps lay a strong foundation for the design phase and ensures all aspects of the project are considered.

03

Budgetary Investment Review

Next, we meet in person to present your project’s preliminary drawings and discuss the investment required. Transparency is key here. We’ll:

  • Walk you through a comprehensive breakdown of costs.
  • Discuss the design agreement and the next steps for moving forward.

Our focus is on providing clarity, so you can feel confident in the direction of your project.

04

Design Process

The design phase is where your ideas truly come to life. From conceptual planning to selecting materials, every detail is carefully refined to ensure your home reflects your vision. Here’s what happens during this stage:

  • Permits and Plans: We handle all necessary permits and architectural planning to meet city codes and regulations.
  • Material Selection: You’ll choose materials and finishes with our guidance to ensure cohesion and quality.
  • 3D Renderings: We create detailed renderings so you can visualize your completed space before construction begins.

This phase is integral to the overall renovation process steps, setting the tone for a smooth transition into construction.

05

Pre-Construction Meeting

Before breaking ground, we’ll host a pre-construction meeting to finalize the logistics and ensure all team members are aligned. During this meeting, we’ll:

  • Introduce you to your dedicated Project Lead.
  • Confirm the project schedule and remodeling timeline.
  • Review instructions on where materials and equipment will be stored to keep your space tidy and organized.
06

Construction Begins

The moment you’ve been waiting for is here—it’s time to watch your vision come to life! During this exciting phase, you’ll have full access to our project management software, where you can:

  • Track project progress in real-time.
  • Review updated financials.
  • View daily logs and images.
  • Approve changes and provide feedback.

Regular check-ins keep you informed, while our team works diligently to stay on schedule.

07

Project Wrap-Up

Once construction is complete, we conduct a meticulous walkthrough to ensure every corner of your project meets our high standards. From inspecting paint finishes to testing new fixtures, we leave no detail overlooked.
We’ll also guide you through your completed space and answer any questions to ensure you’re ready to enjoy your beautifully remodeled home.

08

Post-Construction and Warranty

Our relationship doesn’t end when we finish your project. After you’ve had time to enjoy your new space, we’ll schedule an 11-month walkthrough to address any warranty issues and ensure everything is performing as expected. This commitment to post-construction care is what sets us apart from other remodel contractors in Phoenix.

HOME REMODELING FAQS

What are the steps to remodeling a home?expand_more

The renovation process steps typically include a discovery call, walkthrough meeting, budgetary review, design phase, pre-construction meeting, construction, project wrap-up, and post-construction warranty. Each step is designed to ensure your vision is executed with precision.

Starting with open communication and careful planning, we work to align the project with your goals while addressing details like measurements, materials, and timelines. Throughout the process, our team prioritizes collaboration, keeping you informed and involved at every stage to deliver results that exceed your expectations.

How long does the remodeling phase last?expand_more

The remodeling timeline depends on the project’s scope. A smaller bathroom remodeling process might take 4–6 weeks, while a larger full-home renovation could last several months. Factors like the complexity of the design, material availability, and the need for permits can also impact the timeline.

At MGD Builders, we provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase and maintain regular communication to keep the project on track, ensuring you’re always informed about progress and any adjustments along the way.

How do I prepare my home for a remodeling project?expand_more

Preparing your home for a remodel involves a few key steps. Start by clearing the area of personal items and furniture to create a safe and accessible workspace. If construction will affect your daily routine, consider setting up temporary spaces, like a kitchen or bathroom, in another part of your home. Communicate with your contractor about access points and storage for materials.

At MGD Builders, we’ll guide you through these preparations during the pre-construction meeting to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

Covered patio with modern outdoor furniture next to a pool in a custom home by MGD Builders, Phoenix, AZ

"We renovated our entire house. New floors, doors, windows, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. We even removed a wall. We are beyond thrilled with the results.

Russell Rowe

Bright white kitchen with stainless steel appliances in a custom home by MGD Builders, Phoenix, AZ

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."
