Why homeowners choose us

Built carefully. Built once. Built to last.

We're a small Minnesota crew that takes residential decks seriously. No subcontracted labor, no rushed schedules — just clean, professional work that holds up.

  • Built for Minnesota winters

    Frost-depth footings, code-correct framing, and materials chosen to handle freeze-thaw season after season.

  • Craftsmanship on every board

    Hidden fasteners, tight reveals, square corners. The little details that separate a good deck from a great one.

  • Honest, written estimates

    Clear scope, clear pricing, no surprises. What we quote is what you pay.

  • Reliable timelines

    Small crew, focused schedule. We start when we say we'll start and finish when we say we'll finish.

A skilled craftsman with a meticulous and creative eye, Matt brings both precision and practicality to every project. He is known for being extremely hardworking, honest, and “salt of the earth” — the kind of person who shows up, follows through, and stands behind his work.

In addition to owning Monty Construction, Matt serves as a Minneapolis firefighter. On his four days off each week, he continues to do what he has always loved: building, creating, and helping homeowners bring their ideas to life.
