Central Iowa's premier design, build, and real estate firm. Whether acquiring a signature luxury residence, commissioning an architectural exterior & interior remodel, or resolving inspection contingencies for an on-time closing, MRP delivers complete mastery from the inside out.
Most homeowners are forced to manage an agent who knows nothing about construction, and separate contractors who don't care about resale value or closing dates. MRP eliminates the friction entirely.
Realtors often miss costly hidden structural, roofing, or moisture issues during showings, leaving you with unforeseen six-figure bills.
Roofers, siding crews, painters, and carpenters blame each other when timelines slip, causing endless finger-pointing.
Inspection contingency deadlines expire while waiting for busy trade contractors, risking broken purchase contracts.
Upgrades chosen without market analysis often fail to yield returns when it's time to sell.
Melissa and our expert team inspect every home with licensed contractor precision and real estate expertise before you ever make an offer.
From initial design to master carpentry, roofing, siding, and painting—MRP manages the entire project in-house.
We solve all buyer and seller inspection findings swiftly under one unified proposal, guaranteeing on-time closing.
Every renovation decision is backed by real-time luxury real estate comps so your investment creates immediate equity.

"We were dreading the inspection report when selling our custom home. The buyer's inspector produced a 40-item punch list. Melissa's team stepped in immediately, itemized the repairs under one reasonable MRP proposal, completed the work in 10 days, and our closing occurred exactly on schedule!"

Understanding the power of partnering with a dual-licensed builder and real estate brokerage.
When buying, traditional agents cannot accurately estimate what repairs or remodels will cost, often resulting in clients overpaying or missing major structural deficiencies. With Melissa and the MRP team, you tour properties with seasoned contractor oversight that evaluates every roof, foundation, and mechanical system on the spot. When selling, we pinpoint precisely which upgrades will maximize your net proceeds—and execute them in-house without inflated subcontractor markups.
MRP Home Solutions is a fully licensed Iowa contractor holding license #C151670 for both commercial and residential construction. We carry comprehensive commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance. In addition, our real estate division is fully licensed for buying and selling representation across the state of Iowa.
Real estate purchase agreements have strict inspection contingency periods (often 10–14 business days). When an inspector finds roof storm damage, electrical updates, or siding issues, finding multiple specialty trades to inspect and quote within days is nearly impossible. MRP provides a single, certified, itemized proposal covering all trades and performs the certified repairs immediately so loan underwriters clear the file and you close on time.
Yes. Iowa frequently experiences hail, high winds, and severe storms. As a preferred contractor, MRP works directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure all legitimate storm damage—including roofing shingles, gutters, siding, and fascia—is properly covered and restored using architectural-grade materials.
