On doing the work.
On doing the work.
“I understand very well that in this line of work, the finished product quality is often the top priority. To me, home improvement work should likewise value the process by which the work is done. That means I am selling you both a finished product and a service that smoothly and efficiently delivers what you want.”Matt Cooper, Owner
What that looks like.
Five guiding principles,
in Matt's own words.
Punctuality
Accommodating your work schedule, pets, and children’s needs, and respecting your time.
Trust
Earning the opportunity to work in your most sacred place.
Value
Aiming to provide exceptional results with reasonable prices - not be the cheapest or quickest.
Quality

Expertise
Sharing construction knowledge and experience with you in order to exceed your original project expectations.

Total bathroom remodel turned out exactly as I envisioned. The attention to detail, coordination and installation for drywall, tile, fixtures, both lighting and plumbing, including a new walk-in shower were amazing. I’m still a bit in awe of the results and would recommend Matt to anyone.

Matt did a fantastic job restoring our bathroom after some mold remediation. I appreciated how he explained the different options we have throughout the process and even let us know about city programs we could get a bill credit on. He was easy to communicate with, super responsive, and all around fantastic contractor. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Highly recommend Matt Cooper for your home improvement and remodeling projects. My wife and I moved to Madison a year ago and began remodeling the house soon after. So far Matt has installed LVP flooring in basement, recessed ceiling lighting in several rooms, remodeled a bathroom and laundry room and installed supplemental heating in basement and garage. We are very pleased with the quality and professionalism of Matt's work. He is dependable, knowledgeable, meticulous, conscientious and easy to work with. Also, he returns phone calls, emails and texts promptly, unlike many trades people. We are not finished yet so will be calling Matt again soon.

I hired Matt for a project to replace two pocket doors and do some sealing work. He was great to work with - he provided a simple quote upfront, sourced all the materials (custom doors, hardware, trim), and kept me involved throughout the project. He completed the project on time, with quality workmanship, and took care of everything from framing to finishing work. I would definitely hire Matt again for future projects
