**★★★★★ — HU-540246418, June 2021**

> Matt and Kiah did a fantastic job in repairing and renovating the ceiling in our den. The job was an insurance claim, due to an ice dam caused by heat loss. They managed the whole process with our insurance company, from beginning to end, putting our minds at ease. And the final result was amazing. Matt and Kiah exposed the beams in our ceiling, giving our den a beautiful new look. We would recommend Matt and Kiah to anyone looking to upgrade or renovate their home. And if you have an insurance claim, they can handle that too! I have already been in contact with them to renovate the ceiling on our wraparound porch. I wouldn't do that if their work product wasn't excellent. Highly recommend Matt and Kiah.

> Honest people.

**★ — HU-135160977, Jan. 2021**

> Cutting Edge Contracting was subcontracted to replace our roof with standing seam (as posted on this website).  What was supposed to be a "two week job" turned into over two months in which our new roof was left dented and scratched throughout and our chimneys were improperly flashed.  Cutting Edge was terrible with communication, as initially the panels were incorrectly cut and then left in our lawn in several piles surrounding our house - damaging our grass.  Additionally, our screens were damaged and other items on our property (lawn furniture, etc.).  The owners of Cutting Edge worked with a partner, who primarily worked on this project with one assistant and frequently complained he had no assistance.  Towards the end of the project, we had to file a no trespass order against this partner, as we were notified by the owner of Cutting Edge Contracting that their partner had threatened them and our property after a monetary dispute between them that did not involve us, as we had paid in full.  I have texts from the owner of Cutting Edge confirming their shoddy work and acknowledging our roof would need repair and, most likely, replacement.  We gave Cutting Edge and the general contractor who hired them more than a year to remedy our roof, but they have broken many promises to fix our roof and have not done so.

**Comment from Cutting Edge Contracting:**

> We agree with you completely and will not have this subcontracting issue again.

**★★★★★ — rob\_rlr, Sept. 2018**

> Cutting Edge Contracting (Matt) and his team did an amazing bathroom remodel of our first floor bath. The pricing was competitive, the professionalism was excellent, and the installation and finished product is beautiful! The sub-contract plumbing company that Cutting Edge Contracting partnered with (Affinity Plumbing and Heating) was an amazing choice; Ernie’s work is excellent and priced fairly. I will definitely use this team again for future projects.

**★★★★★ — User, April 2018**

> Matt and his crew did an amazing job removing our 80s bathroom and helping us select items for our new beautiful bathroom. On time , on budget, great attention to detail, courteous, clean and done in a timely manner. This is the 2nd time I have used Cutting Edge and would not hesitate in recommending there wide range of building and renovation services.

**★★★★★ — mariapickrell, Jan. 2018**

> Matt and his crew were kind, professional and very efficient. They did a wonderful job installing a gas fireplace with tile surround and a beautiful wood mantel in a timely manner--Matt even handled some last minute design changes without complaint! I highly recommend Cutting Edge.

**★★★★★ — Kiah Duncan, Dec. 2017**

> Matthew Morel with Cutting Edge Contracting is a wealth of knowledge for any Projects. His Skill and Network allows timely completion.

**★★★★★ — Thomas Medve, Nov. 2017**

> Matt and his crew did a great job painting the exterior of my house.  He worked with us on color selection, came when he said he would, left everything around the house clean, and did a very good job on the painting.  I recommend him for anyone wanting their house painted but I think the exterior painting is done for this 2017 season.  Line him up for 2018.

**Comment from Cutting Edge Contracting:**

> It makes my job easy working with awesome clients like you! Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Cutting Edge Contracting LLC.

**★★★★★ — Scot Shumski, Oct. 2017**

> Matt was great to work with.  He was never looking to pad the budget with unnecessary add ons, was eager to get started, and didn't leave any loose ends.  A contractor who follows a schedule!  The work was of the highest quality.

**★★★★★ — Bernie Duncan, Oct. 2017**

> Matt Morel
>  is punctual, enthusiastic and very professional in all that he does. He specializes on remodeling homes but can do from the ground up as well. He is quite fast on the job and hard to keep up with! All his work is top notch and I highly recommend him for any type of carpentry needs.

**Comment from Cutting Edge Contracting:**

> It's always great working with you Bernie. Appreciate the review, thank you!

**★ — Donna Palermo, Sept. 2017**

> It is unfortunate that I am rating this company so low, my first impression of them was great and I was excited about the current bathroom project and future projects working with this man and his wife.  Unfortunately on the day they were supposed to start on a two day project they cancelled!
> We hired them to do a very short notice tile job on our bathroom and they knew it had to be done by Friday the 29th Sept.  We would have been fine if they said they could not do the job, but they promised they could make it work, then the last minute cancel on the day of!

**Comment from Cutting Edge Contracting:**

> Donna,
> Agreed. It’s unfortunate that it did not workout. The time frame was just not enough with our out of State Wedding on Oct 1st.

**★★★★★ — Barb Bedard, Sept. 2017**

> Matt removed wallpaper from a room and did some interior painting.  He also screend in our front porch.  He was extremely efficient and very affordable, very clean.  And everything looks absolutely amazing!!  I will not hesitate to use him again - in fact he's going to install some built-in drawers in the winter!

**Comment from Cutting Edge Contracting:**

> Thank You for the Review Barb! Looking Forward to Working with you Again.
