When you’re building your dream home, there’s a lot at stake: money, time, pride, and even your sanity. And your contractor is the player in the project who can make your life heaven—or a living hell.
We get it. And our small, but mighty firm is 100% committed to delivering an experience that blows away any other contractor—even the big guys.
That’s because in his 30 years experience in construction, our founder, Matt Myers, has done it all and seen it all. And today he is crazy passionate about doing things not just differently, but right—every time, all the time.
When you work with Root, you don’t just get a contractor. You get a partner who is as invested in the outcome of your project as you are.
•You’ll work directly with Matt as your project’s leader from start to finish. You’ll get weekly status updates and you can ask for in person meetings whenever you like. That said, with Root, you don’t have to keep your eye on every little detail. That’s our job. And we take it seriously.
•You’ll see the same small team of Root professionals on your site every day, and they’ll actually kind of feel like family (in a good way!). In fact, every single one of our clients loves and trusts our team members so much, they ask for our guys by name for subsequent projects and even wait for months to get them.
•You’ll also love our subcontractors. We’ve handpicked the absolute best and have been working with the same teams for more than 15 years. We know their families. They come to our Christmas parties. Heck, they may even end up coming to yours next year.
•When there’s a problem, there won’t be any pointing fingers or shoulder shrugs. In fact, there’s nothing we love better than to solve challenges—calmly, analytically—and save the day.
•We bid our projects honestly, accurately and obsessively, down to every tube of calk, every bolt, every nail. That’s because we believe you deserve to know up front what the job is really going to cost (not get slammed with a million change orders down the road that jack up the price to double).
Because we do construction differently, Root isn’t for everyone. If you always pick the lowest bid, we’re not your team. If you’d rather someone B.S. you than give you the straight, sometimes hard, truth about your project, we’re not your team. If you want just a “worker” not a “partner,” we’re not your team.
But if we sound like your kind of company, we’d love to talk with you about how we can make your project amazing.

### All 11 reviews

**★★★★★ — Johnnie Ray Millan Construction, Inc., Aug. 2014**

> Working with Root Construction for over 5 years has proven to be one of the best decisions JRM Construction, Inc. has ever made. Matt Myers holds a high regard for his clients and subcontractors from beginning to end. The proactive approach that Matt awards to existing and future projects is commendable and ultimately rewarding for all parties involved, especially his clients.

**★★★★★ — bleifer, Feb. 2014**

> We feel so lucky to have had Matt Meyers and Root Construction recommended to us by a trusted friend in construction.  We had a totally trashed property returned to us by a departing tenant.  Not only did Matt help us find well-qualified people (including his own staff) to repair the damage, he helped us identify and quantify the condition so we could pursue our own legal remedies.  When we were pressed to complete renovations in time to close escrow, Root Construction and their subs worked through the Xmas holidays and over the weekends to meet our critical deadlines.  The care, attention and quality of work were beyond any of our prior experiences.

**★★★★★ — martel1, Dec. 2013**

> I have known Root Construction for many years, and had the pleasure of having them re-build a staircase for me that was originally built about 8 years before, and had been put together so awfully, that didn't last at all.
> They were extremely professional, the design was fabulous, the attention to details and making sure that the staircase is built to last, and structurally sound was terrific.  The project was done in a very timely manner, and definitely within the budget that was set for it.
> I highly recommend the Root Construction Co. to any body who likes, professional, clean and hassle free service from their contractor and design group.

**★★★★★ — franciscodavila, Dec. 2013**

> We work for Root Construction as Sub-Contractors, and it is always a good experience to take care of a project with them. They are professionals and reliable.
> Matt and his team are the best.!

**★★★★★ — nicolebroz, Nov. 2013**

> Root Construction did a phenomenal job on our home. I was pregnant with twins when we hired them to completely renovate our home, and as I had two newborns to look after while the project was being done I needed someone who I could absolutely trust and depend on. Matt was amazing. He handled many hurdles that our city threw at us during construction and got everything done in an efficient and cost conscious manner. Additionally everything was done with energy efficiency and environmental safety in mind. We now have a beautiful home and are so thankful.

**★★★★★ — scottoshry, Aug. 2013**

> Matt Myers and Root Construction is by far the best contractor I have ever used. They are honest, professional and have an amazing skillset. I personally cannot recommend them enough. If you want to do it right the first time hire Root…

> Satisfied customer,

**★★★★★ — Arnold Platzker, Aug. 2013**

> I am pleased to recommend Root Construction. We have used Root on several occasions over the past 4-5 years to remodel the interior of our home (install an interior gas grill, remodel our garage \[including a new garage door\], convert a room in our home into a gym). Each of these projects were planned, designed and constructed flawlessly. Matt was available and on site very frequently. We were very impressed with the construction crew who were courteous, efficient and completed each project our projects on time. The clean-up was most impressive.
> We are able recommend Root Construction without any hesitation. We plan to use Root again for any further projects.

**★★★★★ — ncordoves, Aug. 2013**

> Matt and team at Root are true professionals with a discerning eye for detail.  I have trusted Root on multiple projects and have always received an upfront, realistic perspective on the true scope of work and costs, and a phenomenal finished product.  Root will continue to be my first call for renovation and remodel projects.

**★★★★★ — prairie99, Aug. 2013**

> I'm an architect whose had the pleasure of working with Root Construction for nearly 10 years.  They have provided both General Contracting and Project Management services for several of our Residential and Commercial projects.  ROOT consistently delivers a high quality product in a professional and organized manner.  Their standout quality is their unquestionable commitment to being a team player and fostering positive and productive relationships with everyone involved in the project.
>
> I recommend ROOT to all my clients and can whole heartedly recommend them to any homeowner or design professional.

**★★★★★ — sandrotuzzo, July 2013**

> Matt and his team are great. I had Root consult with me on a bathroom remodel and was very impressed with the design, level of detail, and execution. Now our bathroom looks fantastic and everybody that comes over asks who did it. I can't recommend Root highly enough.

## Community Q&A

**Q: where are the plug sockets in the kitchen** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the clean lines on the counter with the cooktop and the quartz following all the way up the wall. I would like the same thing, however, I am trying to do this without visible plug sockets. How did you do this?

A: I beleive they were up under the upper cabinetry in a strip. Also, there were multiple outlets at the end of hte counter in teh appliance stations as well. 

Hope this helps.

**Q: Chest of Drawers** *(in Photo Questions)*

As always, beautiful work. Can you share the source for this great chest of drawers?

A: Sorry, I dont believe that photo is from one of our projects. I think you have the wrong contractor.

**Q: Can you please let me know the type/color of the flooring? Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Richie,

The flooring is Marmoleum. However, it was so long ago I do not recall the name of the color. I just searched my emails with the client and I cannot find it there either. I would say take that photo to linoleum City in LA and they may be able to locate the color. Hope that helps.

**Q: Room Dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, Can you tell me the room dimensions? THanks.

A: Hi Cindy,

It was a long time ago when we built that house. I would guess that room is approx. 24 x 24.

**Q: California patio** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the chest! Can you tell me where it's from/who makes it?

A: Hi Ellen,
I wish I could tell you where that came from. But is belonged to the client prior to the project. Sorry.

**Q: have a photo of the closed barn door from the room without hardware?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: No, Im sorry I don't
