Testimonials

He was a breath of fresh air after what had been a long and frustrating process with others in the industry. Matt is highly organized, very detail oriented and sharp. He and his team were fabulous to work with. I absolutely LOVE how our kitchen remodel turned out! We highly recommend The Home Wright and will be using Matt for all future projects.

Resolution of issues was excellent-with a renovation there are always surprise problems, and ours was no different. The difference was how Matt handled them. He immediately took ownership of any issue, and implemented solutions. An example was an error made by a plumbing sub-contractor. Once the error was discovered, he evaluated all options to resolve and ultimately recommended a more expensive option because it would provide us with the best product. This was resolved at his cost. For us, working with a contractor who owns an error, and takes care of the problem with the right solution is one of the primary reasons we would recommend Matt to others. So many contractors sell customers a vision, but when something inevitably goes wrong, they do not follow through on delivering a quality product at the agreed upon price.

A couple of years ago my wife and I decided to remodel two of our bathrooms and the kitchenette area in our finished basement. As I typically do, I started a rather lengthy process to identify a reputably excellent contractor (not an easy task these days!). I eventually identified one, Matt Wright of The HomeWright, LLC in Carmel, Indiana, as that contractor. In contacting Matt, I learned he was so in demand that he could not even discuss our project until January 2023, 9 months later. I recognized his heavily-booked schedule was actually a good sign about the quality of his work, and because we were in the middle of the pandemic, we were not in a hurry, so we asked him to call us when his schedule allowed. True to his word, Matt called us in January, and we just completed the three projects a week ago.

We are very, very pleased with the work Matt completed for us. The house is a very nice home and, as previously noted, we were looking to upgrade two of its restrooms and the lower level kitchenette area. The results are simply excellent.

Briefly, Matt is a professional and has a great attention to detail. He also holds himself and his subcontractors to a high standard. He has developed, over many years of doing this work, a well thought through, professional process for completing a project. He brings excellent consultants and subcontractors to your project, many, if not most, of whom he has worked with for many years. You are never surprised about anything in the project. Rather, Matt works hard to make sure you are well-informed and satisfied at each step. His contractors arrive on-time and work hard. It is clear from talking with his subcontractors that they hold Matt in high esteem and appreciate their long relationship with him. During the process and following, the two or three minor concerns I identified were each corrected and resolved to my full satisfaction, each within 24 hours of notification. Suffice it to say, the entire process, from beginning to end, and from demo to final product, was just great. As evidence of that, we are now in the process of starting another remodeling project with Matt, the Master Bath.

Matt is not the cheapest remodeler on the block, but I learned long ago, you get what you pay for. And with Matt, you get a smooth process, good people, expertise, and a wonderful result. Indeed, his prices are very reasonable considering the quality of work he produces, the excellence of his consultants and subcontractors, his responsiveness to your concerns, his attention to detail, and his professionalism. We look forward to our future opportunities to work with him.

We give him 5 stars and plus!

Amanda, his designer, was a great help in selecting our fixtures, tile, and colors. We will definitely use HomeWright again on our next project!

And, it really was a pleasure working with Matt. He’s very customer-centric and an excellent communicator. Throughout the project, we knew what to expect and when. We spoke frequently either in person or by text , email or phone. From the beginning, Matt worked hard to get a sense of what we liked. And, he was always open to our ideas even when I labored over decisions on the vanity mirror and specific styles of glass for the cabinet doors. Matt knew these details were really important to me and he wanted me to be happy with the end product. In fact, he and Amanda, his design expert, met me at the house one afternoon so the three of us could collaborate and align on the style and dimensions of the mirror. Amanda was great, too. I can’t imagine how overwhelming it would have been to pick everything out on my own. My first picks for tile and flooring came in much higher than budgeted so she helped me achieve a similar look within budget that’s just as beautiful. We were so happy with Matt that we’re having him back after the first of the year to remodel the full guest bath and staircase.

His team was able to tie in the HVAC to existing supply and return run into the room when we built the house 20 years ago. New circuits were needed and his electrician did a great job in running new lines and getting the numerous cable connectors sorted. Amanda was, again, amazing in providing decorating guidance with wall color and carpeting. Overall, we have added some valuable square footage that is really nice now and will be valuable to any prospective buyer down the road. I’d highly recommend Matt Wright for any remodeling project. You can be sure that it will be done with high quality, on time and within budget.

The workers are very easy to interact with and are polite and very good about cleaning up each day.Were very comfortable leaving the house each day while at work and allowed access for week while we were out of town with no issues. The project was completed on-time and on-budget. This was also the case with bath room projects completed last year. Matt’s work is of highest quality and the finished job exceeded our expectations. We would not work with anyone else after such a positive experience last year and this year.

I had a lot of things I wanted in my new laundry room and it was a challenge for Matt to work it all into the space – but he did it! Once we agreed upon the design he brought his entire team in to review what needed to be done. He put together a schedule and the job started. We met with his designer to choose tile, countertop, backsplash and paint colors. She was a huge help! Matt came to the job site at least once every day to make sure things were on track and answer any questions that we had.

They demo’d the area, framed, installed drywall, put in electrical, plumbing and HVAC, installed a new window, installed the herringbone patterned floor and stainless steel backsplash and painted. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product! It is very functional and turned out beautifully! Matt’s team finished on schedule and was very pleasant to work with. If you are looking for a trustworthy company that does exactly what they say they are going to do, I would highly recommend The Home Wright!

Matt provided a schedule at the beginning of the project which detailed the timing of each and every step of the project, beginning on time and finishing on time. Communicated well throughout the project and made frequent visits to our home to check progress and to communicate details and expectations to the guys performing the work. All of his employees/sub-contractors were very courteous and performed quality work with meticulous attention to detail. Matt also has an eye for the details and has high expectations to be sure all work is performed exactly as we desired. Very happy with the work, the process, the communication, etc. The majority of the work took place while we were not home throughout the day and including the week when we were on vacation. We were comfortable with Matt and all of his employees being in the house. In comparison to a previous kitchen remodel with a different contractor, Matt’s process is night and day of a difference for the better, and we would recommend using his services.

We met several times during the planning stages and Matt was very helpful and gave us some wonderful ideas.  Matt provided us with a schedule which he followed to a “T”.  We either saw Matt or talked to him on a daily basis.  From the very beginning to the very end, it went very smoothly.  His sub-contractors were friendly and hard working.  Our laundry room turned out beautiful and we have had many compliments on it.  We would highly recommend Matt and will definitely use him in the future.

1-Matt had to stay involved in the project.

2-Scope had to be clear and easy to understand.

3-Budget set needed to include our needs with limited to no overages.

4-Timeline agreed upon had to be met.

5-We needed help from someone to ensure selections were narrowed when presented to us since we did not have time to visit all the vendors or review all product choices

Matt followed up with a proposal and plans.  We made some edits and agreed to hire Matt for the project.  We met with all of the vendors with efficiency and in accordance with the dates set.  Scope was clearly understood and the vendors were prepared.  Once selections were complete, a construction calendar was presented.  Construction started on time and was completed on time.  As parts of our project involved limiting access to the home (floors), Matt was able to work the calendar so that work could be done while we were out of town.  Great care was taken to protect the home and the furnishings.  His subs went in and out of our home with no issues.  We have three dogs that were in the home during construction and we had no issues with the dogs or his subs.

In summary, we would recommend Matt Wright without any reservation.

The team is professional and very nice to work with. I would highly recommend The HomeWright for any projects you have.

Matt was very up front in that he wouldn’t even be able to walk down our project for several weeks. While this was a bit discouraging, as we were anxious to move forward with the project, I respected the fact that Matt refused to spread himself too thin and that we would receive the same level of commitment if we chose to use his company for our project.

The process was very straightforward. Matt came by our house and walked us through the steps he’s implemented to ensure a successful project…from general design concept and selection of materials to payment milestones and project completion. This was comforting given our experience with previous contractors who either grossly underbid our work and continued raising the overall spend of our project or asked for a significant amount of money up front before having a quote in-hand.

We had a slight delay in the start of our project given that our first meeting with Matt was in December, just before the holidays, but come January we were up and running. Matt worked directly with us on the overall concept and renderings of the remodel and brought in his designer, Amanda, to help finalize the overall concept and lead the charge on material selections. Our house was built in the late 80’s and we have golden oak stained baseboards, casings, crown and door jambs running throughout the house. We were really concerned with remodeling the living room and having our color selections clash with the look and overall flow of the rest of the house. Amanda was great to work with and she helped us to make some hard decisions on selecting materials which would keep with the flow of the house while still providing a very fresh and updated look to our new living room.

The project took about 3-months from start to finish. That includes design, material selection, demo, and final construction. Actual “construction” took about 4-weeks. The project included complete demo of our existing built-in’s, wall covering and mantel surrounding our brick fireplace, removal of wood ceiling beams and ceiling fan, baseboards, crown and door casings. New construction involved new built-in cabinets and mantel, canned lighting, ceiling fan, re-stoning our fireplace and new hearthstone, A/V installation for placing our TV over the new fireplace, wood floors, baseboards, crown and door casings, refurbishing the nosepiece and associated steps into the living room and final paint.

Every contractor Matt brought in to work on our project was friendly, worked efficiently and showed great craftsmanship. There were no instances of down time where I felt that something could have been accomplished. When the project was complete, I noted a handful of minor details which I felt needed to be addressed and Matt was certain to follow up on each concern and ensure that we were fully pleased with the end result, and we definitely were!

Matt was hands-on throughout the entire process and paid our project a level of attention which we had never experienced with previous contractors. We’re thrilled with the transformation of our living room and will definitely use Matt and The HomeWright for our next project!

From the moment that we met Matt, he was professional, punctual, and communicative. One of the things that we really liked about him right off the bat was that he came to the table with ideas and helped us with several design issues.

Throughout the process, Matt was very well organized and kept us informed every step of the way. If anything did come up where additional work was necessary, Matt always called to have us approve the work before he started on it. He was always careful to explain the situation and give us his best recommendation. We trusted Matt entirely and were always grateful for his advice. Something that meant a lot to us was that Matt said that he treats each project as if it is a project in his own home. He exemplified that throughout the project. Also, at the beginning of our project, we were struggling to find a particular product that we really liked from Matt’s list of preferred vendors. As a result, Matt took the time to find and start a partnership with a new vendor where we could purchase exactly what we wanted. We know that Matt has strong relationships with his preferred vendors, so it meant a lot to us that he went out of his way, not using one of his preferred vendors, so that we could be completely satisfied with our kitchen.

As the work progressed, we found Matt’s subcontractors/partners to be good, honest people who respected our home. They executed the remodel plans that we had developed with Matt, and they all did an excellent job of cleaning up their messes throughout the process.

Overall, the quality of work that we received from Matt and his crew was outstanding, and we are completely satisfied with the outcome. In fact, we have already recommended Matt and The HomeWright, LLC to several people that we know.

We had been tossing around the idea of remodeling our kitchen for about a year, but when we had water damage to our hardwood floor from ice damming, we decided that there would never be a better time for the remodel. We didn’t hesitate on whom we would have complete the job. Matt Wright helped us with our basement remodel and because it went so smoothly, he was our natural choice for this job as well.

At our initial consultation, we told Matt that our overall goal was to make our kitchen seem larger. He gave us great ideas and suggestions. After finalizing our plans, we received Matt’s detailed proposal for the project. Because we had received a quote from our insurance adjustor for the repair work, we were able to confirm that Matt’s pricing was fair.

Matt gave us a detailed schedule of what was to occur each day and it was amazing how closely he stuck to that schedule. And if there was a tweak here or there in the schedule, Matt always let us know ahead of time. Communication with his clients seems to be very important to Matt. We once had an experience with a builder where after we signed the contract, we never heard from him again. After signing we only met with his supervisors and workers. This was definitely not the case with The HomeWright.

Matt was at our house checking on things at least once each day, and often, several times a day. And if we weren’t at home when Matt was there, he would follow up with a phone call, text message, or email that same day. During the kitchen remodel, Matt discovered some insulation problems with our external walls. He recommended the proper solution to the problem and had the unforeseen repairs made efficiently and economically. We were even able to stay on schedule. We are impressed with Matt’s problem-solving skills and do not feel like we were taken advantage of.

We became very comfortable with Matt and his contractors working in our home while we weren’t there. Everyone was professional, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day, which was important to us since were were living in the home during the remodel. When it was time for our summer vacation, we gave Matt our security alarm code and he was kind enough to turn our alarm on and off each day during our absence. We enjoyed our vacation much more knowing that things were secure at home and that we could trust Matt to take care of things for us. In our opinion, Matt is a very organized, reliable, and trustworthy person who pays close attention to details. We are very pleased with our kitchen remodel and home repairs. We are already thinking about a master bath remodel and we will definitely call The HomeWright LLC again.

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.

Our home had T-1-11 siding, which isn’t much more than pretty plywood. It was delaminating, bubbling, and rotting. We had leaks I knew of, and some Matt found, documented, proposed a fair price for, and fixed. All stable T-1-11 remained, and the bad areas were replaced with plywood. Then a housewrap was added and the Hardie planks were installed over the housewrap. All trim was done in cedar. All areas were reflashed. The rakes were extended to match the soffits. The existing shingles were removed from the roof and all soffits and gutterboards were replaced. Areas that didn’t drain well were reworked and a few rotten boards were replaced. Flashing at the chimney was done correctly for the first time in the life of the house. Everything received new paint including priming that occurred on any Hardie plank cuts, etc.

A tremendous value and a job well done. I received proposals from two firms that came recommended from friends. Each came highly recommended, but basically just priced up my ideas. I was ready to go with the lower of the two prices. Due to Chase Bank messing up the home equity loan (and Fifth-Third getting it done in 1 week), the delay resulted in my fortunately running across a lawn sign for The HomeWright while out walking the dog. I spoke with the home owner who (incorrectly) described the work performed. Not a construction guy.

Figuring that I had nothing to lose, I looked up The HomeWright’s web page and discovered that this other house had work similar to what I needed. I invited Matt over the next day and we spent several hours discussing the work required and the ideas that I had. Matt sometimes agreed and sometimes didn’t, but he always had good reasons when he didn’t. He talked me out of the insulation board, which was a bad idea. When the price came in between the other two bids, and barely above the low bid, I knew I had my contractor. Work started late last year, but we knew in advance that the painting would likely have to await the spring. 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 — no 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.

This is the third major project we’ve completed using Matt Wright and The Homewright LLC.  Matt is our “go to” for any remodeling project and we’ve referred him to friends and they’ve also been very pleased with his work.

When we decided to go forward with for our kitchen remodel, we met with Matt and discussed options.  We basically gutted the kitchen and started over.  Given some space considerations, we used our original footprint but totally modernized the space.  We love it!

Since we’ve worked with Matt previously, we’re very comfortable with his vendors and subs.  Matt knew our budget and schedule requirements.  Matt is a truly a professional and we feel an anomaly in the construction industry because he is realistic about the schedule and his people keep to the schedule – we’ve never had an issue. I would not hesitate to work with Matt again (we’re already thinking about the 4th project) or recommend him to our friends and colleagues.

Matt consults with you to create a design, establish a budget and expectations on timing (literally by providing a calendar of what will take place from start to finish and everything in between…and sticks to it). He stays in constant communication with you through the project to touch base to make sure things going as we planned. He is at the house to be sure contractors and employees are on the same page as to what is expected before work begins each day and then double checks to make sure the work was to our satisfaction (usually catching anything that may need to be touched up before we mentioned it). We felt comfortable having Matt and his crew in the house while we were not home and, in fact, after school ended and summer break began, our teenage girls were home and we were comfortable with them being home while work continued. The project went smoothly and was completed to our satisfaction. Everything looks great and we are very happy with the project.

He was extremely detailed,organized, and made the design and selection process very easy. Both his vendors & subcontractors were professional, trustworthy, and easy to work with. He was upfront and accurate on his estimate. Matt will definitely be doing our next remodel and I would highly recommend him to friends, neighbors, and family.

In fact, Matt came recommended to me by one of my friends as he had done two of their bathrooms and is now working on their kitchen. This was our first remodel and we needed some design help, which Matt and his vendors offered within the scope of the project cost. Our home work paid off as Matt came in “on time, on budget” on our master bath remodel and we absolutely LOVE our new bathroom!  Matt and his guys/gals were so easy to work with, knew our project inside and out and provided excellent customer service. For example, our vanity/cabinet wasn’t quite right upon installation, but Matt and his vendor replaced it immediately. Matt is friendly, courteous, respectful and we highly recommend him for any home improvement project!

This was our second project with TheHomeWright. We chose Matt again because of our extreme satisfaction with our first remodel (master bath). We began with a personal meeting with Matt Wright. We found Matt honest and responsible, willing to do whatever he could to give us the updated master bathroom we wanted. After listening to us and showing us pictures of other bathroom remodels that he has done, Matt provided us with a complete summary of costs for goods and services and explained everything to us, patiently answering all of our questions. He wasn’t the cheapest bid we got, but we found his bid the most believable. There were no hidden costs, or last minute increases. The work began on schedule and Matt showed up everyday on time and with a crew of workmen that were responsible, punctual and professional. From the beginning, prepping our stairway to the final painting, Matt was in charge, kept us informed, and knew exactly what needed to be done. He was pickier than we were!

We are totally pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!

All of his crews were very professional and respectful of our home. Matt provided a detailed schedule at the beginning of the project so we would know which crews would be on-site each day. During the project, some supplies were delayed, but Matt worked diligently to keep the overall project on schedule and was very considerate of the inconvenience a master bath remodel can be for homeowners.

Our bathroom project was rather extensive. The end-result exceeded our expectations. While we did our homework and were well-prepared for the remodeling, Matt gave us a lot of great ideas that we were able to incorporate.

I would definitely recommend Matt for similar projects and would work with him again on future home improvement projects.

We contacted Matt concerning exterior paint, siding, windows, doors, and gutters. He was clear on when he could fit us into his schedule. I had assumed it would be best to reside the entire house, but Matt recommended replacing siding on only two sides of the house, which saved considerable cost. He also recommended that only two windows needed to be replaced, and we agreed to replace the main front door and all gutters. Matt provided a very detailed proposal and spent the time with us to understand our needs and wants and to make sure we understood what was included in the proposal and how cost was determined.

During the project, we also had Matt coordinate the installation of a new island countertop, cook top and built-in double oven on a time and material basis. We also had an unknown amount of termite / rot damage on one corner of the house prior to the start of the project. Matt was very clear on how this would be handled and assured us he would be fair in time and material charges once the extent of the issue was identified. The Porter Paint consultant then walked us through the color selection process, Matt worked with us on door, counter top and appliance selections, and we were on our way.

Matt is an excellent, pro-active communicator and kept us abreast of slight adjustments to schedule and status of all work. When we did have questions, he quickly returned text, e-mail and calls if he was not immediately available. He gave us clear timelines for decisions on paint, window and appliance choices and also made sure we met our timelines to keep the project on track.

We were pleased that he met the original estimate of when our project would start and finish. The extent of the termite / rot damage was identified once siding was removed, and Matt was indeed very fair on time and material charges.
