      “Overall, it was a great experience. We tackled these three projects at a really busy time of year for us personally so sticking to a timeline and avoiding chaos was really important. Matt took good time on the front end to fully comprehend the scope of the project and presented us with a very detailed proposal from a financial, product and timing perspective. He even went so far as to tell us on the front end that there was one unknown and explained to us what that was so there would be no surprises along the way.

  Every day during the project the house was left clean. Sub-contractors were polite, showed up on time and finished on time. One contractor even told us how important timelines were to Matt which showed us how serious he is about his work. In the end, the projects exceeded our expectations, timelines were met and there were no financial surprises. 

  Matt completely redesigned a built-in-bookshelf to be more functional for our family. The final product far exceeded our expectations. He also installed ceiling fans and lights in our bedrooms as there was no overhead lighting at all. Finally, he did a complete master bath remodel that turned out beautifully. It's attractive and functional. Matt thought of many little details that would have never occurred to us in all projects.”

    “This was the best experience we ever had! Matt came in and looked at the space and then got our ideas. He then put together a VERY detailed proposal that laid out each step, timing and cost along with a drawing of the room. He also had allowances for items like lighting and flooring which we could increase/decrease according to our tastes.

    His proposal was the only one to take advantage of the alcoves in the room, which were tricky and other contractors told us it would just be cheaper to close them off. Matt designed built in shelves in one of the alcoves and a dress up changing area in the other. He is the only contractor that sent a thank you note for allowing him to bid the project and state how much he would enjoy the work.

    He felt like a trusted friend from day one! Matt stuck exactly to the schedule and cost proposal exactly - when he said he would be there, he was there. His team, though they are subcontractors, are like his employees. They were very professional, polite and you could barely tell they were in the house. They showed up when they said they would, did their work and then cleaned up each night before they left. Matt was very accessible and we would usually reach him on our first try. When we had to leave a message, he would call us back usually within the hour. Very responsive, very patient and completely concerned with our satisfaction and happiness.

    The bids we received ranged in price from $3,500 - $16,000 with contractors who had very different ideas of what would be entailed. While we could have done it cheaper, it would not have been the same and I am certain it would not have been done on time and on budget as it was with The HomeWright.       

    We are so happy with the way the room turned out and our girls love the space. Everything in the process was so easy and we are still amazed on how each day the assigned task was completed and the whole job was finished within the estimate. We look forward to using Matt again in the future.”

    "I hired Matt Wright to replace windows and rotten siding on the home my wife and I purchased last year.  We were very pleased with Matt's professionalism and quality of work. Matt showed up on site the day he promised. He made sure we were aware of the process and what to expect. He was up front about pricing, options and other things we may encounter in the process. His crew were very polite and took great care not to disturb any landscaping or make a mess inside the home.

    When one of the old windows was removed, we found the there was more rot than what was visible from any inspection. Although it was not what we would have wanted, Matt told us in his bid and conversations that this could be a problem. Knowing this up front we were not shocked or unprepared to tackle this challenge. Matt, upon finding the problem, quickly alerted myself and my wife of the problem. He was able to get the materials over to our home to repair the window and stay on schedule. Since he had to remove the old siding to fix the peak. We decided to hire him to reside the front of our house.

    He again was up front, honest, and made sure he was respectfully of our busy schedules. The work was completed when promised and was as if he was never there after completion. I have more windows and a kitchen remodel I have planned later this year and will be calling Matt back for an estimate.”

  “We had a wonderful experience working with Matt! From the very beginning he was extremely organized and reliable. He was in constant contact with us through the whole remodel process and was always available to answer our questions. He offered great suggestions that we ended up using in our project that added a lot of beauty and design to our bathroom.

    As a stay at home mom with two small children, I especially appreciated that he explained the long working relationships he had with the craftsmen that would be in our home. We felt so comfortable with Matt and his team that we ended up leaving on vacation the last week of the project. It was so nice to come home to a completed and beautiful bathroom.

    Our project was completed on time and the work was exceptional. We will use Matt in the future for our home projects and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

  “Our experience was excellent. Matt made sure we completely understood the project. He explained some of the potential pitfalls that could occur once the wall was opened up. One of those "pitfalls" happened when a framers nail accidentally nicked a pipe in the wall creating a small leak that damaged some dry wall. Matt made sure the repair was made immediately and at no cost to us. You would never know that there had been a leak.

   All of the sub contractors that were in the house were polite, friendly and professional. We felt comfortable having them in the house. They all cleaned up after themselves. They all made the extra effort to make sure that our A/C was turned off during their work so that as little dust as possible was spread throughout the house.”

    “From the start of this remodel to the finish, we were very pleased with the promptness of the contractor and all of the subs working on the project. A few unknown problems were discovered during renovation and fixed as well. These are things that we as homeowners had no idea even existed but were very glad to have fixed.

    The outside contacts we had to make during the selection of fixtures, granite, tile, flooring and lighting could not have be more helpful and not at all pushy for decisions to be made. They were well informed of our project, and our needs, but mostly pleasant to work with.

    Also all of the subs in our home were people that we never felt anything but comfortable and trustworthy in our home. We felt we could carry on about our workdays and know that all was being taken care of. Matt Wright kept us well informed of all activity and schedules by a printed calendar and or a phone call or email. This we liked very much knowing what to expect each day.”

  “I have more than 25 years experience in construction ranging from high-end residential to high rise to schools to Federal facilities. In many respects I can be the worst sort of buyer of home building because I know what I am talking about and I am very opinionated. Matt Wright came through with flying colors. He stood up for what he thought was the correct approach when he thought that I was wrong and changed my mind on how to proceed. His knowledge of construction is exceptional and he knows how to get the best bang for the buck.

   When I wanted to add an inch of board insulation behind the new siding, Matt showed me how it would have a greater payback (and cost less) by adding blown-in insulation in the attic. Other contractors that I interviewed and who provided proposals were nowhere near as knowledgeable and never challenged me when I wasn't using the best approach. I whole-heartedly recommend using The HomeWright. Though I had a bid that was about $1,000 lower (~2%), the additional cost was well worth it. Correctly reworking and salvaging existing windows alone made the cost worth it.  A tremendous value and a job well done.

   Matt always called with progress updates and to see if we had concerns. When a hidden condition, like areas of rot, was discovered, the proposed solution was good and the price was right. Gouging on extras is some contractor's lifeblood -- NOT Matt's. He was fair in all cases, even telling me on some of my requests that he had included it all along because it was the right approach. When work was completed this spring we were ecstatic. Our neighbors are quite pleased too as the house was pretty beaten up looking.

   During the winter we added some indoor work which also went very well. Aside from the updates and fair pricing, perhaps the best thing was that the workers arrived when Matt said they would and they stayed until the job was done.

    This guy knows what he is doing!”

   “Matt's passion for the work came through during his time at our house. He is very knowledgeable and taught me a great deal about the products. When I had question he was available and helped me understand what steps needed to be taken. One concern I had was living in our house during all the work. Matt provided me with a great schedule and the work was done and completed on time. I was very comfortable working with Matt!

   Matt came over to the house and from the initial appointment came up with some great design ideas. For example, we moved our shower head from one side to the other to put in a glass block insert to allow for more natural light. He really thinks of everything all the way down to where light switches are to be located.

   His selection process was not only easy, but fun. Every time you went to pick something whether it was tile, vanity cabinets, or plumbing fixtures, the sales associates were prepared. All the details prior to starting the project were all laid out.”

   “Matt Wright made the entire process very easy. We were working on a tight time frame because the kitchen needed to be functioning order in time to host Thanksgiving. From the beginning Matt laid out a detailed schedule so we knew when certain selections needed to made by in order for everything to proceed smoothly.  And it definitely did.  Matt was great at communicating with us throughout the whole process and was always quick to answer any questions or concerns we might have. The project was completed, including the punch list, by the date Matt originally stated and we are very satisfied with the finished product.”
