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.
