He is the founder and owner of Matty Renos, a residential renovation company renowned for its comprehensive design-build process, meticulous attention to detail, and premium quality products. In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, he is accredited as a Chief Financial Planner (CFP).
At 22, having completed his studies at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), he embarked on his construction career. Initially working with a local builder, he quickly grasped various building systems and construction methodologies pertinent to both residential and commercial settings.
He leveraged this early experience to advance his career with a coastal roofing quoting agent, quickly earning a managerial position. Over five years, he estimated costs for both commercial and residential roofing projects ranging from $20,000 to $250,000.
In 2007, he chose to deepen his educational foundations by returning to NSCC to pursue investment management certifications, including the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) and Life License Qualification Program (LLQP). Afterward, he transitioned to the financial sector, working as a financial planner and later as a mobile mortgage specialist at Scotiabank, focusing on the residential mortgage market until 2017. He then returned to construction, serving as a foreman for the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA), where he managed teams of 10 to 15 employees.
In 2018, armed with robust financial acumen and construction expertise, he founded Matty Renos. His initial project involved converting a residential property into a profitable Airbnb. This venture was swiftly followed by the conversion of a single-family home into a duplex, further establishing his foothold in the property development industry.
He continued to enhance his reputation through significant projects, including a duplex conversion in downtown Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. His proficiency in navigating building codes and city permits enabled him to expand his property portfolio extensively, undertaking multimillion-dollar renovation projects.
Under his leadership, Matty Renos offers extensive residential renovation services, including complete home remodels, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and more. His approach is deeply client-focused, ensuring that each project aligns with the homeowner's vision and functional needs from inception to completion. His team's professionalism, expertise, and dedication to quality artistry have distinguished them in the competitive market.
Outside of his professional endeavors, he enjoys spending quality time with his family, reading, playing golf, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and yoga. His commitment to fitness is integral to managing the physical demands of his work.
Moreover, he is actively involved in giving back to the community through his volunteer work with Feed Nova Scotia, a pivotal organization distributing food to various food banks, meal programs, and shelters across the province.
