“I’ve worked with Matt on several projects around my property, and I can recommend him without hesitation. Matt is an outstanding carpenter with a rare combination of craftsmanship, creativity, and practical problem solving.  I would trust him w any project, large and small.

He built two custom structures on my property that are not only attractive but also incredibly solid and thoughtfully engineered. He has an eye for design and consistently finds ways to make a project both more functional and more visually interesting. He painted my porch with exceptional attention to detail, and the finished result completely transformed the space. Beyond painting / carpentry, he also helped retrofit my trailer, bringing smart ideas and skilled execution to every step of the process.

What stands out most is how much pride Matt takes in his work. He’s punctual, works efficiently, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about getting every detail right. He’s also a pleasure to work with. Conversations with him are fun, and he always seems to have thoughtful, creative ideas that improve the final result.

If you’re looking for someone you can trust with carpentry, painting, renovations, or general handyman work, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt. He’s the kind of craftsman who consistently exceeds expectations”

“I’ve been a devoted admirer of Matt Bua’s work for years. Entering his creative world is always a fascinating experience, allowing me to see things through his unique artistic perspective.

When I moved from my old house, I brought along several stones from the property. Matt used those stones to rebuild a wall in my new home, preserving a piece of my past in a beautiful and meaningful way.

Whenever I have items I can’t part with or feel deserve a second life, I turn to Matt. He has a remarkable ability to transform what others might discard into stunning works of art. For instance, he created a centerpiece for my garden—a sculpture made from driftwood and metal scraps—that has become a true focal point of the space.

Matt is a genius at fixing the unfixable. I’ve entrusted him with items that seemed beyond repair, like my son’s childhood stool and plastic chairs that were destined for the trash. In his hands, these pieces became invaluable works of art.

What I appreciate most about Matt’s artistry is his ability to reinvent ordinary objects while retaining their practicality and functionality. His talent lies not only in creating beauty but also in breathing new life into everyday items in a way that is both inspiring and useful.”

Janie Greenwald: “Over the past 4 years I have had the pleasure of working with Matt Bua on several projects around my house.

1)The first was when he removed ugly cabinets and installed all new shelves in my kitchen. I had seen many of Matt's buildings and installations before so I asked him for Matt Bua style shelves. I love how they look, they are sturdy and just what I was looking for. The bonus is the wood is all re-purposed.

2)The next time Matt came over my yard was flooded. After the water subsided I was having trouble locating my septic tank. He did that and  moved a pile of rocks from one side of the yard and added them to the stone wall on the other side. He strengthened the wall and made it more attractive by the placement of the rocks. Some really big rocks too !

3) I share the mailbox stand with my neighbors across the street. There are 2 mailboxes on 1 stand. My house is situated on the road so that you cannot see the address from both directions . I asked Matt to build a Matt Bua style frame around my mailbox with the address numbers attached to that. People can now see my address coming from both directions.

4) The latest was when a tree came down on some rocks in a stone retaining wall in front of my house. I called Matt. He came and restacked the part of the wall that needed repair and made it nicer than before. Any interesting rocks he found he put facing out for our appreciation

Matt has always shown up when he said he would , on time and ready to work. He listened to what I needed and offered ideas. He was clear about what I wanted and how to accomplish the goals. I will be calling on him in the future.”
