I’m Matt Kinnee. I’ve spent 30+ years building and renovating on Vancouver Island. Now I review quotes, plans and problems for homeowners.
Independent advice: no commission, and I don’t bid on a job I’m reviewing for you. Site visits are for renovations I’d build myself.

Read the article →I've built, renovated and run sites across Southern Vancouver Island, from 1912 heritage homes in Oak Bay to additions and commercial work. I've seen how projects go wrong, and it's usually the quote, the paperwork or a missed step. That's what I help you catch.
