What Homeowners Say

“Matt tiled two showers and a tub, tiled two fireplaces and added wood mantles, framed some of my basement, and did various other projects for me.

He listens to what you want and creates it with the care of a true craftsman. I’d recommend Matt to anyone!”

– LJ, Scandia

“I hired Matt to replace my decrepit tub and shower insert with a new tub and shower, a tiled surround, insert a bathroom fan, and fix an issue with a window frame. As a newbie homeowner, trying to navigate all the ins and outs of renovating my only full bathroom was a little overwhelming. Matt made the process less daunting and also got me excited for the transformation.

Matt was quick, yet thorough, finishing the shower portion a day sooner than expected. I was very pleased with the finished result- my shower is now a place of beauty and function. I highly recommend Bright Hearth Builders!”

– Amanda, St. Paul

“We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Matt at Bright Hearth Builders and couldn’t be happier with the result! We have a galley-style kitchen that originally only had cabinetry on one side, and Matt designed a layout that added cabinetry that transformed the space into something both beautiful and much more functional.

Matt handled every detail with care and craftsmanship and exceeded our expectations in every way.

He was communicative throughout the entire process, cleaned up the workspace each day, and came in on time and on budget. We fully trust Matt in our home and with our project, which made the experience stress-free.”

– Brenna, Maplewood
