M2 started in 1998 in Mill Valley with a straightforward idea: do excellent work, be honest about scope and schedule, and treat homeowners the way you'd want to be treated.

The Business

The same hands-on structure since day one

The business grew from those early Marin County clients. One kitchen led to another. A backyard project led to a full remodel.

What has not changed is the structure. Matt is still the person who shows up, prepares the estimate, and answers the text. The work stays personal, accountable, and close to the details.

The Scope

Fewer handoffs when the scope gets complicated

Holding licenses in general building (B), landscaping (C-27), and painting (C-33) means M2 can take a project from the first conversation through final walkthrough without handing off core work to unknown contractors.

That matters more on a complex job than homeowners realize until they have been through one.

What to expectwhen you hire M2

  1. 01

    Direct communication

    Text, call, or email and you reach the person making decisions, not a scheduler or coordinator. If something comes up on your job, you hear about it the same day.

  2. 02

    M2 pulls permits

    M2 handles the building department, the inspections, and the paperwork on your behalf. They have been through Marin's permitting process hundreds of times.

  3. 03

    Design-build capability

    M2 can work as your GC under an architect, as a design-build firm handling everything in-house, or as a contractor picking up where your designer left off.

  4. 04

    Consistent accountability throughout

    Matt stays involved from the first walkthrough through the final pass, so responsibility does not get handed off once the work begins.

Licensed fora wide scope of work

Holding all three means interior construction, landscaping, and painting can stay under one standard — with fewer handoffs and clearer accountability.

B

General Building

The core contractor license covering structural work, additions, full remodels, ADUs, and everything that touches the bones of the home.

C-27

Landscaping

Licensed for landscape construction — grading, irrigation, hardscape, planting, and water features. The license behind M2's award-winning outdoor work.

C-33

Painting & Decorating

Interior and exterior painting, specialty finishes, and surface preparation. Keeping paint work in-house means the finish matches the craftsmanship.
