Matt as a general contractor assembled and managed a team of professionals who turned out a really beautiful and well functioning home. From the outset this was a home that was technically difficult, had very high goals and standards and came to completion with very little dysfunction and, to my knowledge, no raised voices. All in all a fine experience. **★★★★★ — Sue Boothman, Feb. 2018** > Matt is the Best! I hired Matthew G. Strickfaden and Assocciates, Inc. to rescue my custom home building project that was going poorly with another builder. Matt was able to improve the design, reduce overall costs and complete my project on-time and under budget. Matt's craftsman were meticulous and professional and his attention to detail was second to none. His honesty and integrity really set him apart from any other custom home builder. I highly recommend him and have done so many times over the past four years. **★★★★★ — Center Line Heating & Cooling, Jan. 2018** > We worked with Matt and his team for over a year on one particular project. Matt & his team are a pleasure to work with. Quick responses when questions arise and a mentality of doing it right the first time. Very quick turn around for payment whenever an invoice was sent to him. **★★★★★ — Young & Young Architects, Jan. 2018** > Matthew Strickfaden is an incredible highly involved General Contractor. > > Matthew's skills are wide ranging - from managing the day to day construction, excellent budgeting & forecasting, to scheduling intricate and detailed custom installations. He is an excellent communicator and liaison with the Client, Architect, Designers, Landscape and the multitude of skilled craftsmen on his project and the supply side. Each team member is kept apprised of their partner's current and scheduled activity. In the end, the entire process of planning, building and accomplishing the Owner's goals are a joy! > > Matt is a passionate, truly involved professional dedicated to the process of creating Architecture! > > It is a pleasure to provide this professional & personal recommendation on Houzz. **★★★★★ — steve scott, Dec. 2017** > From the beginning of the project until the very end, Matthew was very professional. He was very helpful in making sure we had the information we needed so that we could perform the job to his client's liking. Looking forward to working with Matthew again in the future. **★★★★★ — Albaugh Masonry Stone and Tile Inc., Dec. 2017** > I would like to say that Matt Strickfaden is as the top of his field. I have worked with many people over the last twenty-three years that I have been in business and Matt is right there with the very best. It is sometimes hard to get an answer or get a hold of some general contractors but not Matt. He is a great communicator and gets decisions resolved very quickly. It is also a very evident sign that a builder is good when he maintains a great relationship with the client all the way to the end. Matt has the customer's best interest in mind while keeping the contractor's focused and productive. Matt also collects great trades to build effectively and timely. A great contribution to the Southeast Michigan building trade. **★★★★★ — John Mayer, Dec. 2017** > Matt is very responsive to all emails and messages. He addresses all questions, requests and concerns in a timely and professional way. > He administered the client funds and paid all contractors promptly once their work was complete. His good nature and sense of humor made the experience a positive one. **★★★★★ — Kathryn McKay, Dec. 2017** > Working with Matthew was a pleasure. He kept on top of everything and communicated professionally and efficiently through out the entire project. **★★★★★ — Tim Weldon, Dec. 2017** > Working with Matt was easy. Very organized and highly communicative. There was never a time when I was not 100% aware of the jobs progress, and when my company would need to be there to perform our duties. Organization and transparency are the most important qualities any builder can have and Matt delivers with precision. Thanks Matt. **★★★★★ — Gabriel Vasile, Dec. 2017** > I have been in the construction business for over 25 years and i can honestly say that Matthew G. Strickfaden and Associates are one of my favorite builders to work with. Their professionalism and work quality have played the most important role in meeting the project's deadline and keeping the customer happy and fully satisfied with the results. **★★★★★ — Christine Anderson, Dec. 2017** > Working with Matt and his selected Team, could not have been any better. They have a standard of Quality that most other Builders can only hope for. **★★★★★ — Bolyard Lumber, Dec. 2017** > Matt was a great guy to work for. We are a supplier of building materials. Matt is well organized, communicates very well, and is very respectful to all trades and people involved. A real joy to be a part of his team.
