Straight seams, straight answers.

Hi, I'm Matt Williamson, founder of Matts Island Construction. Since establishing the business in 2013, I have maintained a hands-on approach to every project. When you hire us, you work directly with me from the initial consultation to the final cleanup. I pride myself on clear communication: explaining the technical requirements of your project, showing up on schedule, and providing regular updates throughout the process. I hold my work to the highest standards, ensuring precise finishes, straight seams, flat edges, and a thoroughly tidy job site when the project is complete.

No-obligation consultations

We sit down with you to completely understand your vision, then provide an accurate estimate. We discuss:

Matt Williamson, owner

Matt resurfaced our deck, removing the old cracked fibreglass surface and the old plywood that had been installed incorrectly. ... We were impressed with Matt's attention to detail: the seams and edges are all straight and flat.

Andrew JarrettGoogle review

He was so easy to work with and helped us remodel our deck to what we had imagined it could be. Matt was extremely communicative and always responded to our messages within a few hours.

Are your quotes free?

Yes. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation. We'll come out, look at the project, talk through what you want and give you a clear price.

How do you put a quote together?

We talk through the project with you, look at the site and the materials involved, and work out the labour and time it will take. Then you get a clear, no-obligation quote before any work starts, and if anything unexpected comes up later, we tell you right away.

How long will my project take?

It depends on the size of the job, the materials and the time of year. You'll get an expected timeline with your quote, and we'll keep you updated on scheduling and progress along the way.

Are you insured?

Yes. Matts Island Construction is insured, with WorkSafeBC coverage. We're also BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. We stand behind every job: our work is guaranteed, and so is your satisfaction.

Do you do the work yourselves?

We handle the work ourselves and coordinate trusted subtrades for painting, drywall and other parts of larger jobs when needed. Either way, you deal with one contractor from start to finish.

Does my project need a permit?

It depends on the project and where you live, since the Cowichan Valley Regional District and municipalities like Duncan and Ladysmith each have their own rules. We'll walk you through what your project needs before any work gets underway.
