Deck, Fence, Gates, Stairs, Enclosures, Sheds, Awnings

I have used the services of Matt at M.C. Wood, spanning over the past 10 plus years.
Matt has worked on various projects for me, including designing and building the stairway to the main entrance. This project combined with another one of building a deck / landing at the front of the house. In these projects, Matt used his creativity and knowledge to also incorporate flush mounted lighting in each step and in the deck floor - the evenings feel like being at a cottage! I can't put in words how relaxing it feels!
Matt has worked on other projects such as building a fence, gate, awnings, some work on the shed and roof, large and medium enclosures for tools / equipment storage.

Matt listens to your needs, ideas and feelings, combines it with his lived experiences and industry knowledge, developing a plan with you that works best and creates a masterpiece, giving attention to detail.

Matt is an exceptional person, grounded, honest, easy going yet disciplined and focused with a solid work ethic (first time you meet him - you'll know what I mean). I believe that for him, it is not just his career, it is his calling - this is indicative in his pride, professionalism and dedication to mastery of the art.
Truly outstanding!
I would not hesitate to recommend Matt for any of your projects as well -Thank you Matt!

Front Porch

I met Matt while he was working on my neighbour's porch, I had been looking for someone to do mine, so I approached him. I had a very specific and well-formed idea of what I wanted. It was a small project, but I wanted to get the most out of it; every corner of the project would have a purpose and be functional.

From the first meeting, he fully understood what I wanted, he asked the right questions, clearly articulated any challenges, and proposed very clever complementary ideas and solution. That interview alone was enough for me to discard the competition; it was clear he was passionate about his work and will carry any project with integrity. Matt took the time to meet in more than one occasion to make sure he understood well the project scope, constraints, and objectives.

The work happened while my family and I were travelling, and I never felt nervous about coming back to bad surprise. Matt worked diligently, pausing at the right moments to ask the right questions, which in some occasions involved Zoom calls. I personally like being involved in these type of projects and at all times it felt as if we were working together for a common goal.

The end product is a beautifully built porch with 4 hidden access doors for year round storage. Matt carefully chose the placing of each piece of wood, looking for the best looking face and ensuring the continuation of the grain across door brakes and corners of the structure. With a thin shape and glass handrails, the porch looks as if it is floating.

Matt's craftsmanship is like no other, his understanding of wood, creativify and precision at executing his projects is really outstanding.

You will be proud to own a Matt Woodroof original.

This is possibly my favorite front porch.
A modern design with a simple appearance at first glance. upon closer inspection it becomes apparent it has as much complexity as possible in order to use every bit of space within the structure. In the mind of a skilled architect anything is possible!
The layout of the design also held is own complications with two different door heights and a lower level entrance wich created some extreme tolerances. All in all it came out amazingly and serves as an example of what can be possible with creative use of space.
An excellent design!
Thank you for an amazing review.

Backyard Upgrade Project

I am happy to commend Matts exceptional craftsmanship. The arbour, storage shed, fence, and deck exceeded expectations. Attention to detail, quality materials, and a keen eye for design resulted in a backyard transformation. Matt and team worked through the fall and winter months(weather permitting )to ensure the project was completed on time. Highly recommend their skilled work!

This was an amazing project!
The recreation of the existing classic fence style was enough to set the frame... The addition of the deck played a role in making amazing use of the space... The shed with its own classic style provides function and beauty... The arbor adding a touch of the old world. All together these elements have brought the yard to an exceptional level of modern function while maintaining the appeal of classic beauty!
It was a pleasure working with you to create your dream yard!
Thank you for an excellent review!

EPE Deck

Matt and his team built an epe deck for me, with staircase and rain management and beautiful glass railing. I have had many decks built for me over the years, Matt's workmanship is by far the best I had ever seen, period. The deck looks like a piece of expensive Italian furniture. Every bolt is in line, every square is straight, a pleasure to look at everyday. True professional, a maestro in deck building! Highly recommended!!!

this was an excellent design wich I'm glad to hear is providing two levels of outdoor comfort. The upper level for fun in the sun and that area below the deck for shade and rain cover. the use of the rain escape system is a dream way to create dry space below the deck and a perfect aplication of it in this design.
happy that everything is working well.
thank you for the recommendation and an awesome review!

Cedar and composite fence

Mathew built one of a kind backyard fence for us. It was a mix of cedar and composite material. It took a bit longer to get it finished but the final result was great. Im pretty sure that fence will last way longer than the actual house. Thank you Mathew. Hope to work with you again in the future

This is a walk down memory lane to my very first contract when I started some 13 years ago!
Indeed it was a challenge. Creating a permanent fence from wood is no easy task. as such we turned to a composite material for the framing and for the posts wich were hollow and in turn filled with concrete to create permanent pillars. this fence may even outlast my career!
I look forward to working with you again.
thanks for an excellent review!

Cedar deck

In August of 2020 the crew from M. C. WOOD INC. added a 10' by 24' cedar deck to my home. They worked every week day, with no absences, until the project was complete. Upon completion they left no mess or garbage.The workmanship is flawless. The deck is quite solid. The job was completed for the agreed upon price with no additional charges. I look forward to dealing with M.C. WOOD INC. in the near future.

decks and fences

Matt from M.C. Wood has built fences and rebuilt decks for us over the past several years. He is an artist more than a builder. The deck rebuild is timeless with numerous subtle details included in the railings and stairs. The fences were re done to correct previous poor jobs and have stood the test of time.Our favourite MC Wood project is "Kid Island.A large wood platform designed and built by MC Wood complete with a large built in sand box.Our grandkids play there almost every day in the spring summer and fall. Matt is not the least expensive contractor but he is the best!
