We bought a foreclosure in Beacon Hill that was a disaster. It was totally unlivable and everyone…read morethought we were crazy for thinking we could renovate it except Matt. He was confident he could pull it off and his assurance was a relief. It seemed like every corner we turned there was a problem with asbestos, old pipes, structural floor damage or wiring in the way. Matt was extremely adaptive and creative on the fly. His communication through everything was our saving grace. From steam pipes in the way or the floors caving in, it was extremely impressive to watch the solutions come into play. He had pipes rerouted or removed altogether and completely re-framed portions of our floors. One part of the floor was a brick floor over a basement that had started to cave in. Matt knocked out all the loose brick and poured a slab that tied into the solid brick. I had no idea how a giant hole in our brick floor was going to be fixed but he adapted seemingly without a hitch in the entire project. I would highly recommend Matt and his company Exedra!

Matt is amazing; I could not recommend his services more! My husband and I knew Matt through a…read morefriend and hired him to renovate our NYC apartment (kitchen and 2 bathrooms) after seeing the incredible work he's done on other projects, including his own homes. Matt is a true partner throughout the process, and gave me great advice every step of the way. This was my first remodeling experience, and his guidance was both invaluable and comforting - I felt like I was in really good hands. He worked closely with me in designing our space, and then handled every single aspect of our renovation - from sourcing materials, to demolition, to coordinating with the plumber and electrician, to installing our kitchen cabinets and appliances, and re-tiling and re-grouting both of our bathrooms with new fixtures and lighting. My apartment is pre-war and therefore a little tricky when it comes to making things look level and even, however, Matt figured out how to make everything look flawless and brand new. He always remained within my budget, and continually offered solutions for how to trim costs or source materials for less. Matt is also incredibly responsive; he and I communicated frequently throughout the day when he was working in my apartment, which I really appreciated. He was a pleasure to work with, and I definitely plan on hiring Matt again if I move (although he's made my current space so wonderful, I'm not sure that will happen any time soon!). Matt is a total professional - his work turns out beautifully, and he's a pleasure to work with.
