Matthew Gurney, President of Coastal Maine General Contracting, Inc., grew up in Central Maine. At an early age he developed a love for carpentry and did many small jobs for friends and family. During his high school years, Matthew worked on remodeling a number of properties which ultimately led to a desire to seek higher education in construction and business management.
In conjunction with finishing a degree in business management, Matthew worked for 5 years in the civil engineering field. In 2006, Matthew incorporated Coastal Maine General Contracting, Inc. and took his company from a small remodeling business to a mid-sized general contracting company that has completed millions of dollars’ worth of projects for all types of customers, residential, commercial and industrial.
“Problem solving is what makes this industry exciting and keeps me coming back for more.” Matthew has a love for the complex and intricate details that go into a project. The details and finite pieces of a project are what separates Matthew’s building style from others. His motto is “Built once – Built Right – Built for Life.”
