Lea P. says, "This is the 4th house I have remodeled, and I have to say, Mat Nielsen is the best builder I have ever had the luck to find and work with. I plan to use him for a complete kitchen remodel in 2 years, as well as a bathroom remodel.
This first project involved ripping out and replacing my enclosed back porch floor and the underlying beams, installing new, double exterior French doors and new flooring. This was all necessary because the previous sliding glass doors were improperly installed, and the lack of flashing and enough caulk around the door meant that there was seepage and the floor rotted out. On top of that, the porch was improperly installed without any ventilation, so the underlying beams were also rotting and required replacing. Mat's original estimate, very fair, did not include the beams, because there was no way to know before ripping out the floor. Mat's final price was exceptionally fair given the extra work.
What I appreciate the most about Mat is that he is very careful and he did not just throw out numbers. He immediately diagnosed what was wrong, and pointed out other issues. He measured everything carefully and gave me a sound price, taking a couple of days to get back to me with a printed estimate that included cost of materials.
I am disabled and getting around is difficult. Mat did all the shopping after I identified the doors and flooring I wanted online.
In addition to the new back porch, Mat also constructed a ramp yo replace my side door steps, as well as steps leading down into my enclosed back porch. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with in constructing a ramp and steps that work with my disability. My life is easier and safer because of the good work he did for me. I feel very fortunate to have found him.
Also, if Mat told me he would arrive at a specific time, he was there. Any changes, he texted me. And once the job started, tgere were no delays other than a day delayed for rain.
Mat also left the site absolutely immaculate and gave my aging basset hound (almost) as much love as she wanted.
Thanks, Mat! I look forward to our next project."See more
