We got Matt’s name from friends of ours who have used him twice. They were very pleased with his work, so we didn’t talk to anyone else about our project. Matt was very professional from the beginning to the end.

He listened to what we wanted and gave us options, as well as using some of our ideas. His workers were always polite and punctual. I have teenagers who were in and out and I never worried about them being alone with the workers. Matt checked in on the progress every day and kept me informed about any schedule changes. The work area was always cleaned up at the end of the day. All of the work done was of high quality. We love our new bathroom and would definitely use The Homewright LLC again!

We hired Matt to remodel our master bath after a glowing recommendation from a friend. Matt was a pleasure to work with and delivered exactly what we were looking for in our remodel.

He was extremely detailed,organized, and made the design and selection process very easy. Both his vendors & subcontractors were professional, trustworthy, and easy to work with. He was upfront and accurate on his estimate. Matt will definitely be doing our next remodel and I would highly recommend him to friends, neighbors, and family.

This is the second time we’ve used The HomeWright for renovation work. Both experiences have been wonderful. The owner, Matt Wright, is always true to his word, calls you back immediately when there are items to discuss, and has quality sub contractors performing their trades.

Matt is not only very knowledgeable with the construction phase, he also has a good eye for what works and what does not. Several times he made design recommendations which we ultimately ended up using, saving us money and time without sacrificing on the overall look of the room. We’d highly recommend Matt and his company for any renovation project.
Lori & Dan Adler – Carmel, IN
After interviewing several contractors to help us remodel our master bathroom, my husband and I selected Matt Wright of The HomeWright because his price was fair and we felt he was the most transparent with his numbers and setting expectations for the overall remodeling process.

In fact, Matt came recommended to me by one of my friends as he had done two of their bathrooms and is now working on their kitchen. This was our first remodel and we needed some design help, which Matt and his vendors offered within the scope of the project cost. Our home work paid off as Matt came in “on time, on budget” on our master bath remodel and we absolutely LOVE our new bathroom! Matt and his guys/gals were so easy to work with, knew our project inside and out and provided excellent customer service. For example, our vanity/cabinet wasn’t quite right upon installation, but Matt and his vendor replaced it immediately. Matt is friendly, courteous, respectful and we highly recommend him for any home improvement project!
Christy & Greg Cannon – Carmel, IN
Our kitchen remodel exceeded all of our expectations! We were actually quite pessimistic (this has been our first remodel experience) about working with ANY contractor as all of my friends and family continuously told me “it will always take longer then estimated, you will spend a ton more money, you will have many contractor no show days, etc. , however all those “warnings” were far from the truth in working with Matt Wright and his great team.
Read More
We had an initial meet and greet and decided to be very upfront with Matt on our budget constraints and concerns on timeline. We have 3 boys and 2 big dogs so no kitchen was going to be hard! He spend a lot of time listening to what was important to us vs. what we would like, vs. what we could live without. After we met, he completed extensive measurements and then asked if he could have a few of his team come to my home and evaluate prior to presenting the estimate.
That was different for us as the other bids I had received no one else asked to do that. Matt explained that especially when remodeling older homes (ours was built in the 70’s) he wanted to make sure he captured everything so that we had no surprises in the end. After that process was completed, he presented everything to us. Not only was his estimate very fair, he presented us with a project calendar that indicated what would happen in my kitchen everyday!
We knew what days were demolition, electrical, plumbing, dry wall etc. AND this is the best part: it was EXACTLY as it happened. We finished on time! His team of dry wallers, plumbers, painters etc. were so professional and personable. I trusted them in my house with no one home without any hesitation. They were flawless.
Throughout the process, Matt would send “selection updates” so we knew exactly where we were according to our allowances for counter tops etc. We also decided to enhance our original plan by adding in additional painting, plumbing etc. This addition was very easy for him to mange and again, this did not even cause us a delay in completion. Working with Matt Wright was easy, his communication was excellent and I have a beautiful kitchen that I am proud to show off! he listened to what we wanted and never tried to “up-sell” our needs. We are very very glad we chose Matt Wright and will for sure use him again!
Mark & Lisa Krieger – Carmel, IN
Overall our remodeling project with The HomeWright went extremely well. The owner, Matt Wright, was great to work with from the initial consultation through to the final punch list. We are so happy with our remodeling experience with Matt at The HomeWright that we’ve already recommended him to our neighbor.

- Stayed on time and within budget.
- Kept construction mess to a minimum and left things tidy each day.
- Planned work to be the least disruptive to family life as possible.

Carl & Carolyn Dalstrom – Carmel, IN
Matt and his team are professional, efficient, skilled,honest and trustworthy. From start to finish Matt kept us informed of all aspects of the project. His calendar and estimates were right on!… It was an amazingly easy remodel, even finishing before estimated! And the end result is perfect!
Read More
This was our second project with TheHomeWright. We chose Matt again because of our extreme satisfaction with our first remodel (master bath). We began with a personal meeting with Matt Wright. We found Matt honest and responsible, willing to do whatever he could to give us the updated master bathroom we wanted. After listening to us and showing us pictures of other bathroom remodels that he has done, Matt provided us with a complete summary of costs for goods and services and explained everything to us, patiently answering all of our questions. He wasn’t the cheapest bid we got, but we found his bid the most believable. There were no hidden costs, or last minute increases. The work began on schedule and Matt showed up everyday on time and with a crew of workmen that were responsible, punctual and professional. From the beginning, prepping our stairway to the final painting, Matt was in charge, kept us informed, and knew exactly what needed to be done. He was pickier than we were!
We are totally pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!
Dave & Cathy Denton – Indianapolis IN
I was told it would take four weeks and that was exactly how long it took. The workers were here on time and when they said they would be here, they were. They took great strides to keep our house clean as they walked through to the bathroom area. They even took off there shoes everytime they came in from outside which in some cases was numerous times.
Read More
The workers were polite and went out of there way to please us even doing small things other than what they were hired to do. Matt Wright was here everyday making sure the work was being done to perfection and keeping us informed. He explained everything and when it was not working, he would correct or give us alternatives on how to correct it without increasing cost.
Overall it was a great experience and our new bathroom is just beautiful, and we owe all our happiness to Matt Wright of The HomeWright LLC. They also replaced 80% of all our windows in our home and again total satisfaction.Botton line, The HomeWright is a very well managed company that prides itself in total client happiness. His associates are in the top caliber of their occupation and are skilled in client happiness also. It is amazing how Matt has brought this team of professionals together. If you are looking at remodeling, I highly recommend The HomeWright.
Jon and Gigi Griffin – Carmel, IN
We hired Matt Wright to completely remodel our master bath. We selected Matt as we felt that he took time to understand what we were looking for, offered his ideas and suggestions and provided us with a very detailed estimate. As we anticipated selecting some upgrades throughout the process (tile, stone, fixtures, etc.), knowing the details of the bid allowed us to make informed decisions in selecting upgrades while staying within our overall budget. Our overall experience was outstanding.
Read More
All of his crews were very professional and respectful of our home. Matt provided a detailed schedule at the beginning of the project so we would know which crews would be on-site each day. During the project, some supplies were delayed, but Matt worked diligently to keep the overall project on schedule and was very considerate of the inconvenience a master bath remodel can be for homeowners.
Our bathroom project was rather extensive. The end-result exceeded our expectations. While we did our homework and were well-prepared for the remodeling, Matt gave us a lot of great ideas that we were able to incorporate.
I would definitely recommend Matt for similar projects and would work with him again on future home improvement projects.
Jon & Kelly Sarn – Zionsville, IN
This was the best experience we ever had! Matt came in and looked at the space and then got our ideas. He then put together a VERY detailed proposal that laid out each step, timing and cost along with a picture of the room… He is the only contractor that sent a thank you note for allowing him to bid the project and state how much he would enjoy the work. He felt like a trusted friend from day one!
Read More
He also had allowances for items like lighting and flooring which we could increase/decrease according to our tastes. His proposal was the only one to take advantage of the alcoves in the room, which were tricky and other contractors told us it would just be cheaper to close them off. Matt designed built in shelves in one of the alcoves and a dress up changing area in the other.
Matt bid on the job to finish out a bonus room next to our daughter’s room. The room is 10×15 and we received several bids from contractors. We wanted to drywall the room to get maximum usage while also making it a comfortable space for the kids to play and hang-out in. The bids we received ranged in price from $3,500 – $16,000 with contractors who had very different ideas of what would be entailed. We learned a lot from the different proposals and while we could have done it cheaper, it would not have been the same and I am certain it would not have been done on time and on budget as it was with HomeWright.
Matt stuck exactly to the schedule and cost proposal exactly – when he said he would be there, he was there. His team, though they are subcontractors, are like his employees. They were very professional, polite and you could barely tell they were in the house. They showed up when they said they would, did their work and then cleaned up each night before they left. Matt was very accessible and we would usually reach him on our first try. When we had to leave a message, he would call us back usually within the hour. Very responsive, very patient and completely concerned with our satisfaction and happiness.
We are so happy with the way the room turned out and our girls love the space. Everything in the process was so easy and we are still amazed on how each day the assigned task was completed and the whole job was finished within the estimate. We look forward to using Matt again in the future.
Ray & Gachia Hoefer – Carmel, IN
We are very pleased with the quality of the work, including gutters, siding, windows and paint. We have received numerous positive comments on the work from neighbors and walkers. We’re a dual-income household and Matt made sure we were aware of when workers would be in the house. We had complete trust in Matt, his staff, and subcontractors.
Read More
We contacted Matt concerning exterior paint, siding, windows, doors, and gutters. He was clear on when he could fit us into his schedule. I had assumed it would be best to reside the entire house, but Matt recommended replacing siding on only two sides of the house, which saved considerable cost. He also recommended that only two windows needed to be replaced, and we agreed to replace the main front door and all gutters. Matt provided a very detailed proposal and spent the time with us to understand our needs and wants and to make sure we understood what was included in the proposal and how cost was determined.
During the project, we also had Matt coordinate the installation of a new island countertop, cook top and built-in double oven on a time and material basis. We also had an unknown amount of termite / rot damage on one corner of the house prior to the start of the project. Matt was very clear on how this would be handled and assured us he would be fair in time and material charges once the extent of the issue was identified. The Porter Paint consultant then walked us through the color selection process, Matt worked with us on door, counter top and appliance selections, and we were on our way.
Matt is an excellent, pro-active communicator and kept us abreast of slight adjustments to schedule and status of all work. When we did have questions, he quickly returned text, e-mail and calls if he was not immediately available. He gave us clear timelines for decisions on paint, window and appliance choices and also made sure we met our timelines to keep the project on track.
We were pleased that he met the original estimate of when our project would start and finish. The extent of the termite / rot damage was identified once siding was removed, and Matt was indeed very fair on time and material charges.

This our third project with Matt. He never rushes you. He carefully worked with us to develop design plans (actual blue print drawings) for our screened porch and stamped concrete patio/sidewalk.
He arranged for us to see an example screened porch similar to the one we were planning to confirm what we were doing. He arranged wood samples so we knew for sure what the porch interior would look like. Once plans were finalized, Matt arranged the necessary permit. Matt communicates often and clearly so we know what should be done when.
Read More
Our project went very smooth. The porch was built using normal home construction methods including inserting the ridge beam INTO the house wall rather than using cheap brackets to attach it TO the house. All work is high quality with lots of attention to detail. For example, the ceiling is tongue and groove redwood; there are a couple of darker boards that became a stripe that carries up into the sky light opening and back out across the other side of the ceiling. Matt’s crew does a great job picking up any mess.
For the stamped concrete work, samples were made to show us the color and pattern to make sure it was what we want. After the initial set of samples were made, we had a second set made to confirm the colors were right. We were given a couple chances to make revisions to the layout of the concrete to make absolutely sure it was what we wanted. Be patient with stamped concrete….it looks horrible the first night after it is poured, but looks great after they get to work with it the second day which is the normal process.
Overall we have a gorgeous screened porch made with quality materials and finishes. We are extremely happen with our project!
Fall 2011
Matt Wright is great to work with. He is knowledgeable and communicates well. Matt provides a detailed written proposal of what is going to be done including the materials to be used. He explains all of the details and clearly answered all my questions so that I fully understood all the work being done (I am detail oriented).
Matt even tried to have the materials placed to be the least inconvenient to us as possible. The work crew is always prompt and picks up after themselves. The crew has great pride in the work they do and want to make sure the customer is happy. The painters even came on Saturday once to make sure all the trim was painted before the gutters and down spouts were installed and again to touch up a couple spots (including an edge he had to disassemble part of the door to get to). The work performed was all high quality. Throughout the construction Matt communicated with me so I knew what had been done and the plan going forward. I am very satisfied
Fall 2010
I quoted three contractors for this job. Matt was the only one to spend any time on the initial phone call to understand what the job really was and to develop a common understanding between us. Matt was on time for his appointment to discuss the job.
We talked through options for windows (I had already selected the brand I wanted, but he offered an alternative he felt would be less expensive and equally good.) and for a funny roof segment above both sets of casement windows. Matt came out to discuss the quote he developed. He provides a formal written quote detailing the work to be done and significant detail on the materials to be used (for example, caulk brand and model and flashing materials). Matt had the window sales representative come out confirm the measurements to make sure there will be no issues later.
A couple of days after we agreed to do the casement windows and siding I decided to also have the three large windows done. He promptly came out and brought his window sales representative because these windows originally were the fixed half of a sliding door and were installed non-traditionally. The three of us discussed options (window types, sizes, and how to properly trim out the inside) and they prepared revised quotes. Because these additional windows are so unusual, Matt asked if he could remove some interior trim to make sure the correct windows were ordered. The sales rep and his boss came for this inspection also. They confirmed how the old windows were constructed and formulated a plan for the interior trim.
The installation was very smooth. The temperature ranged between 5 and 25 the days they were working on the windows. The crew was careful to close doors where possible to keep the cold out and worked quite quickly to close the house back up. They cleaned up every night and never made a big mess. Everyone was very polite and friendly. The work performed seems to be very high quality.
Through the whole process Matt kept me informed of progress and the plan going forward. Any time I had a question Matt was happy to answer and to make sure I was happy with the work performed. We very much enjoyed working with Matt and his crew.
Dave & Dana Green – Carmel, IN
Our experience was excellent. Matt made sure we completely understood the project. He explained some of the potential pitfalls that could occur once the wall was opened up… The workers that were in our house treated it with care. Each day they cleaned up after themselves and respected our home. Overall the experience was great. We will use The HomeWright again for our projects.
Read More
One of those “pitfalls” happened when a framers nail accidentally nicked a pipe in the wall creating a small leak that damaged some dry wall. Matt made sure the repair was made immediately and at no cost to us. You would never know that there had been a leak. All of the sub contractors that were in the house were polite, friendly and professional. We felt comfortable having them in the house. They all cleaned up after themselves. They all made the extra effort to make sure that our A/C was turned off during their work so that as little dust as possible was spread throughout the house.
We really appreciated his honesty. He came up with some great ideas to help us save money and still accomplish our goals (pantry). All the vendors he suggested were easy to work with and we found what we were looking for with them. We did use 1 vendor outside of his list (granite). We had a previous business relationship with them and wanted to use their product if possible. Matt accommodated this–no problem.
Todd (electrician) even let our dog in and out during the day. He was great!! Matt was also very patient with us when we were having trouble deciding on a paint color. Each day we had more and more colors on the wall, we were sure we were driving him nuts. He hung in there and kept putting more samples up until we found the one we wanted.
Brandt & Suzie Hakanson – Carmel, IN
My wife and I had been toying with remodeling our master bath for years. We’ll we finally did it using “The HomeWright”. From start to finish it was all in plain view. Matt first started with a creative meeting to see what we were looking for and to get ideas of his own. He had a methodical approach that was very succinct.
Once he had taken our feedback, Matt came back to us with a concise plan and execution model. We had to leave a portion out (our closet) as it exceeded our budget. No problem, Matt re-quoted just the bathroom and it was right in line with were we needed to be. Matt laid out steps to follow…which vendors to meet with and in what order.
With two kids, dogs and life in general… this was reassuring. We never had any concern of the HomeWight people being in our home while we were gone at work and school. His contractors were all courteous and worked on the timeline Matt promised. We even had a family emergency that forced his crew to start a week late. He took that in stride.
Lastly, we are next going to complete a kitchen remodel. We already have “our guy”. His low pressure sales technique and willingness to come in at a budget that we can work with has made this decision easy. Being in the service business I know how important it is.
Thank you Matt!
