Matisse Homes Inc.

Great job , so happy with a full house reno! Kelvin is great always organized , finished on time. workers were great and cleaned up after they were done. Alwas on time! would use again! and have!

We were lucky enough to see Matisse's work before we selected them as our builder because good friends had built their beautiful home with Matisse, which made our decision to choose them as our builder easy, but our new home(s) far exceed even our expectations! We knocked down our century+-year-old bungalow in the midst of supply chain issues during Calgary's notorious winter and built a new duplex on the lot. The floor plans were the same but we chose different finishings on both sides, essentially building 2 individual homes. Both have turned out exceptional - the workmanship is flawless and well-thought out, and there are all these additional little custom touches that we didn't expect but make our lives much easier - and easier on the eyes! On top of the wonderful quality of the build, Kelvin and all the contractors and tradespeople that worked on our houses were quintessential professionals. They dealt with a LOT of challenges from unreasonable neighbours, various supply chain challenges, and some major last-minute changes that we threw at them. Through it all, Kelvin was positive, supportive, always responsive and a true pleasure to deal with. It was extremely apparent throughout our build that he had built up strong trust relationships with excellent trades, and we can truly see and feel the rewards of that in our home. We couldn't recommend Matisse Homes enough and believe anyone would be in great hands with Kelvin and his team.

We have almost completed our build with Matisse homes but are all moved in and enjoying our wonderful home. We have never been involved in anything of this magnitude but have done many minor renovations. We began with the inevitable choosing of builders and after choosing Matisse, it became very clear that we had chosen the right contractor the day our windows were installed. We stood in the middle of our street with some other neighbors and Kelvin, who was as excited as we were, to watch the installation. He was always engaged, communicated continually with updates, listened and even implemented some of our ideas. He even made room for us to do some sweat equity. He met with neighbors at the beginning to open communication and wanted a clean work site and always kept the neighbors in mind. The amount of trades that were involved were mind boggling and Kelvin had a great relationship with each and everyone of them. We were impressed and could not say enough good about each of them. Kelvin was on site daily and his passion for his job was apparent during all phases of this build. We would highly recommend Matisse homes (we have already been asked for our builders name). We have a truly unique and wonderful new home and have built a lifelong relationship with Kelvin, we will miss seeing him so often, and he has a new finishing crew! (albeit a very slow one ;)

My husband and I just completed our first ever home build, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the end result. Kelvin came to us by way of a reference from a family friend, and what a fateful day that was! Our experience of building a house was made enjoyable and memorable because of Kelvin’s amazing capabilities as a builder. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process (which only took months when others quoted over a year!). With daily photos and updates it was so easy to track progress and provide input into our custom home. This went such a long way to ensure that there were no surprises or lost opportunities in capturing our vision. The relationship that formed between builder and client felt more like a partnership, and both my husband and I feel that through completing this project we not only got the beautiful home we set out to build, but also gained a friend. Kelvin is kind, honest, and has great integrity. For anyone looking to build a home, whether it be their first or fifth, I would recommend Matisse and Kelvin for the job!

This was our first time building a house and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and end result. Kelvins attention to detail showed numerous times throughout the build process, making sure the finish quality is up to his standards and always keeping us in the loop on what was going on. When you have Kelvin, the owner, on site every day making sure the project stays on track is a massive benefit to a client. Kelvin is also fantastic as sending updated photos during the day to give you a sneak peek on what is going on at the house that day. Kelvins trades are incredible. It wasn't very often we would swing by the house after work and somebody wouldn't be still working late to get the job done. Its the extra mile that have seen go in from Kelvin and all of his trades that really shows when you see the final product. Lauren and I couldn't be happier with the final product, and we couldn't imagine having a better build experience with anybody else. We would recommend anybody building a new home to build with Kelvin and Matisse Homes. One day I am sure we will build another home and when that day comes we will be building with Kelvin again.

Kelvin Choy at Matisse Homes was an absolute pleasure to work with thoughout our custom home build project. The other reviews here speak to Kelvin's attention to detail, focus on client needs, daily onsite visits to the site, and ability to keep the project on budget, clearly communicating any chosen extras along the way. Beyond these things, what stood out to us was Kelvin's focus on developing and maintaining relationships with his industry partners. This has resulted in trades that want to work with Matisse Homes - something that is often not seen in this industry. Kelvin is honest and straightforward with the trades, maintaining accountability with clear expectations but also providing support to them where needed. For Kelvin, mutual respect is an integral part of how he does business. We also brought our own architect and interior designer to the project, and Kelvin was excellent at maintaining clear and positive communication as the design unfolded. The Matisse approach lead to our neighbours commenting on how positive our home building process was for them! They had never seen such positive and respectful onsite crews. The crews kept the work site clean and respected the property around them. Often it was Kelvin himself onsite at the end of the day, cleaning up walkways and ensuring site cleanliness. We wouldn't hesitate to build another home with Kelvin and Matisse Homes, other than the fact we're not planning on ever moving! We would whole-heartedly recommend Matisse Homes to others considering a custom home build project.

Matisse Homes has built homes for several of my friends and clients over the years and they have all been very pleased, so when it came time for us to build a new home, Kelvin was our first phone call. His professionalism shines through daily, he takes pride in what he does, he is creative and resourceful when needed, and was patient with the client (us) that needed some guidance along the way. We are so happy with our home! Building with Matisse Homes has been a positive experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future to friends, family and clients.

As a trade partner, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kelvin (owner of Matisse Homes) for over 18 years! His experience in the housing industry is highlighted in the beautiful boutique homes he crafts. His customer service and attention to detail is unmatched in the Calgary area. The completed homes by Matisse, are stunning works of art.

I am extremely pleased with the new windows Mattisse Homes put in my 50’s bungalow. I had my heart set on black framed interior windows so we went with wood and had them painted black and they look spectacular! Kelvin was on site every morning to make sure everything was on track, he also worked within my budget and was very well priced. I would definitely recommend Mattisse Homes to anyone, they did a wonderful job and I couldn’t be happier.

We supply Matisse Homes with theirs bins and potties for their projects. Very professional and easy to do business with. Would highly recommend them for you next project

A year ago I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Kelvin Choy, the owner of Mattise Custom Homes. My wife and I had already purchased a property years prior in Renfrew, Calgary, and felt it was the right time to develop this property into our principal residence. Fortunately, our designer, Brian Pogany, of Design House of Calgary, highly recommended Kelvin Choy, a builder that he had known and worked with for over 25 years. Brian was confident that Kelvin and his company Matisse Custom Homes could fulfill our needs so we agreed to meet with him. Needless to say our initial meeting with Kelvin was more than a comfortable experience. My wife and I are both retired and we were uneasy about making such a large investment at this point in our lives. However, Kelvin's personality and obvious knowledge of the construction business overrode our fears, and upon viewing our home plans he assured us that he could bring our project in on budget. Kelvin took the time to educate us as to what the City of Calgary needed to approve our build and what changes we needed to facilitate that approval. He provided us with additional materials beyond what was agreed upon in our contract, which gave us a breakdown of his suppliers and their products. The options available to us were not limited to his suppliers and he allowed us to bring in other sources that he worked with on our behalf. Kelvin never failed to inform us of savings opportunities and we truly felt that he was looking out for our best interests. He was easily accessible throughout our build and he always made time to address our concerns. I can also attest to the fact that Kelvin has surrounded himself with trades people that he works exceptionally well with, so much so that our project was completed months ahead of schedule. Kelvin did everything he said he would do while remaining on budget. All of the minor issues normally associated with a larger build like ours were dealt with and resolved by Kelvin in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to working with Kelvin and his company Matisse Custom Homes in the future. My wife and I are very confident in recommending him to anyone thinking of doing a build, I believe that anyone who works with Kelvin will find they will not only gain a beautiful home, but a new friend as well. Sincerely, Frank & Olivia Edwards

Matisse Homes did an amazing job in building as well as assisting with the design & planning of our new 3200+ sq ft home. Kelvin was extremely knowledgeable and very professional when dealing with us throughout the entire building process. His personalized, hands-on approach made us feel comfortable and secure every step of the way. Kelvin made sure he was always available to answer any questions that we had, and was extremely accommodating when it came to anything we asked. He made sure to use only the highest quality trades available, and to negotiate the best possible prices, especially seeing as we were on a tight budget. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Matisse Homes, and are are extremely happy with our finished product. We would highly recommend Matisse Homes to anyone looking to build/renovate their home.
