Matthew R. Janssen

Design & Build General Contractor


NC General Contractor License #76784


Commercial and Residential

MRJ Building was established in 2002. Since then my focus has been on remodeling, additions and custom built-in furnishings. I believe in careful design and high quality craftsmanship. I employ a hands-on approach to general contracting. I do most of the work myself, bringing in the appropriate subs at the appropriate times–one project at a time. With respect to my clients and their homes, I strive to make the construction process as clean and convenient as possible.

“… I was so fortunate when a friend recommended Matt several years ago to build our maple wood stairs…Matt did a perfect job at a reasonable price. When the time was right for us to remodel our kitchen Matt Janssen was the first person I called. Matt was fantastic during the entire project because he is so dependable, trustworthy, well organized and has such a positive attitude.” -Margaret Whiting, Artist

“Matt Janssen is the most honest, reliable, thoughtful, and skillful builder we have ever employed. He has completed every project, large or small, on time and on budget. We’ve recommended him to many friends and acquaintances, and I feel confident in saying that his work has pleased and impressed all of them”–William Witt, former Iowa state representative and photographer

“My biggest regret is that Matt has relocated to North Carolina. I doubt I’ll ever be able to find another contractor as dependable and talented as he. He is not only a builder, he’s an artist. I recommend him most highly as a very satisfied customer”- Tim M. Lindquist, Ph.D., PricewaterhouseCoopers Professor of Accounting, UNI
