(Matt) A bit about myself: I started my working career graduating from Conestoga College as an Electrical Engineering Technician. I worked construction through my late teens until I was offered an apprenticeship by a licensed electrical contractor in my early 20s.  After 7 years of starting from scratch, and learning my way up, I wrote my C of Q, and became a licensed electrician.

 

My life changed when I met Maya. I decided, since my experience had expanded to learning construction and other trades through various employers, that the time had come to set my skills on my own multi-trade company. I was encouraged by my love, her family, and my own father, all entrepreneurs and self-driven people to aspire to. Now here we are 7 strong years later, working in companies we are both proud of, together.

    We are so very pleased with the work Matt did installing a new door in the basement. Maya did a beautiful and very professional paint job in the stairwell and family room. We are so pleased with her work we have engaged her to come back next week and paint 2 more rooms!. We highly recommend both Inner Bay Painting and Inner Bay Renos.

    No job too difficult for sure!

    We just moved in and found Maya - who painted our front garage and door - fantastic! Came when she said she would be there and did a great job! Pleasure to have her work at your home. Matt came and I gave a very varied list! Steps, railings, light fixtures, screen door and caulking. He was prompt and did them all with precision and focus!!! Pleasure to have him work at your home.

    Cottage Rebuild

    We contracted Matt from Inner Bay Renos to rebuild our old cottage based on recommendations from other satisfied clients in the area. From the outset Matt provided several options regarding design and materials as well as a clear budget and time line to complete the work. He finished the project on time and on budget and we are very happy with our "new" cottage. Matt was responsive to our needs and his workmanship is of a very high quality. There were no issues passing all of the various inspections. Highly recommended!

    Inner Bay Painting - House Interior

    Maya did a fantastic job painting the interior of our home. Maya is very polite and personable and a pleasure to talk to. She is very experienced and professional and even did several wall repairs before painting. Maya has a precise hand at painting, no taping and perfect ceiling lines. She and her assistant Erin worked in unison ensuring everything was done in the most efficient way. They left us with no mess when they were finished. My husband and I would highly recommend Maya from Inner Bay Renos for all of your painting needs. Thank you Maya!

    Paint

    We have used Inner Bay for two different paint jobs and would not hesitate to use them again. They painted the exterior of our cottage a few years ago, it still looks fantastic and we have had so many compliments! Last winter they did some interior painting for us which was again very well done. Their prices are fair, the work is excellent quality, professional, and the premises always left neat and clean. We highly recommend them!

    Maya top coated every room in my house and did repairs where needed. She came in under budget, did an outstanding job and finished when she said she would. I was very, very pleased and have booked her to paint the outside of my home next year.

    Painting our cottage and kitchen cupboards

    We have a very old, rustic cottage that needed a fresh look, without spending too much on updating. Maya suggested a great colour for the kitchen cupboards, and it looks like a new kitchen now. They did a great job painting the walls and the ceiling in the cottage, it looks and smells like a new place.

    Trailer Renovations

    We hired Matt to do a large trailer Reno at the lake. He tore down the old roof and deck, levelled the trailer then proceeded with the Reno. A brand new deck as built with skirting and a add a room. He also worked with another local contractor to have a new hardtop roof put up to my wife exact specifications. He arranged it all and would often consult and make recommendations highlighting things we would not have thought about. We are extremely pleased with work done. Matt was very professional always taking the time to answer our questions. I will hire a Innerbay Reno again for my next job, big or small.

    Installation of a new electrical service

    Matt has helped me out with a lot of different projects and I’ve always been overwhelmed with his efficiency and expertise. This last project was a nail biter for me but HIS part of the adventure was smooth sailing and I can’t thank him enough! Matt knows a lot about a lot but is very humble and always double and triple checks even when he’s sure. You will never regret hiring Inner Bay Renos.

    We hired Matt to do floor joist and structural repair work in our entire crawlspace. During his work it became evident that Matt is a professional in every sense of the word. His knowledge, pricing, dedication to the job, and work quality exceed all expectations. We will not hesitate to hire Matt for any future work that needs to be done. If you are looking to have any work done around your house Matt is the guy to call, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for all your hard work, we look forward to hiring you again in the future.

    You and your family have been exceptionally kind during these trying times The amount of issues found in your newly acquired home was upsetting I am sure to say the least. I am glad I was able to help you and your family keep this beautiful home alive and standing for future generations to come. Your generosity and concern for all of our safety while we worked in your crawl space was heart warming. I have not met a kinder and more generous family, ever. Thank you again for your kind words, for the work you gave us, and for taking good care of us while we worked.

    Painting & Renovations

    Maya took on the difficult job of painting over knotty pine wood. We had knotty pine on every window frame (21 in total), every door frame and all baseboards. We did not want to see any knots showing through after the paint job and she explained that this would involve several layers of different types of coatings formulated to cover knotty pine. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Also, Maya painted all the walls and ceilings with amazing precision. We have never seen such perfect cutting in. She fixed imperfections so well, we couldn't find them when she was done. We are thrilled with her level of perfection and will use her services again. Matt built a bedroom closet and completed a number of electrical jobs, including the installation of over the range microwave, 3 ceiling fans, various light fixtures and kitchen pot lights. He also replaced all light switches and plugs with more modern brushed nickle ones. The quality of his work was excellent and we will continue to use his services in the future.

    Entire basement renovated in our home, generator installed, cottage bathroom

    Excellent workmanship on multitude of projects along with an ability to suggest strategies regarding the use of quality products that made the finished product look the best. Matt is always on time and puts in a full day's work. In addition to all the projects previously listed he reinforced the roof at our cottage prior to a new metal roof being applied. This was a really difficult job but as usual he did a fantastic job.

    Deck Staining

    Maya just finished staining my deck. I am very pleased with her work. It was done on time and at a reasonable price which did not increase from her original quote. Maya did a great job painting my boat house 2 years ago which is why I wanted her back to do my deck. No regrets here.

    Kitchen and Dining Room Renovation

    Matt and Maya made our dreams come true! We are farmers and the house always seems to be last on our list of things to ever spend money on. We really needed to update our old, tired dated ranch. Matt of Inner Bay Renos took care of all the demo, opened up the space beautifully, added amazing windows to the west, put two french doors to the south out to our deck, put in a brilliant bead board ceiling, did flooring, electrical, lighting and helped with the cabinet installation! His awesome wife Maya did the painting of the space. These two are pros all the way. We got the views we've been waiting over a decade for and the industrial farmhouse look within our budget. His quote was honest, fair and worth every cent. He worked very hard, always showing up when he said he would and got the project done within the two month deadline. You can tell he has passion for what he does as every day he cleaned up the work space! We booked him a year in advance for our project. Excellent contractor! And you can't beat Maya's painting either! Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    Flooring & Drywall

    Matt put in new flooring at my cottage, replaced the sub-floor and drywall in our utility closet, replaced a drop-ceiling with drywall. He was so great to work with, he communicated openly and frequently throughout the process. He was able to fit us in earlier than expected and did truly excellent work. He referred us to other local contractors to take on other elements like counterop installation. Maya now handles our lawn and garden care. I am so pleased to have found such great, trusted contractors in my area.

    living room and dining room flooring as well as upstairs painting

    We were fortunate enough to have Matthew and Maya come do some work on our condo. Matthew did a timely, cost effective and excellent job doing the flooring on the main floor of our house. We found him very professional and were extremely impressed with his work and kind personality. My wife and I highly recommend Inner Bay renovations and will definitely recommend him to family and friends. Maya did the painting on the top floor of our house and my wife and I were exceptionally pleased with her work as well. I have nothing negative to say about this company as their work was top notch. Thanks again guys and we are looking forward to future work we will have for you!

    I had Maya from Inner Bay Renos repair some touch ups, paint my house, refinish and paint the trim and in general restore the life into my dull house! I was very happy with the service Maya provided me, the price was more than reasonable, and she was always on time but most importantly on schedule!
