Dan Madden was raised in Western Springs, so When he started M.R Tile & Remodeling, Inc. almost 35 years ago, he decided to base his business in the same community where he grew up. Dan started the business from scratch in 1983. "It was time to leave my father's fastener business to create my own future," he remarks. Since then, the business has grown tremendously, and now employs eight full-time employees in addition to the high number of subcontractors who have worked with M&R throughout the year.
