Born in 1980 in Canada, Matthew Oldford is an accomplished entrepreneur, real estate investor, developer, and the founder of Matty Renos, a residential renovation company renowned for its precise design-build process and commitment to quality. Additionally, he holds credentials as a Chief Financial Planner (CFP).

His venture into construction began at 22, following his graduation from Nova Scotia Community College. Starting with no prior experience, he quickly adapted, learning the ropes of building systems and construction methodologies under the tutelage of a local builder. His aptitude for the field soon led him to a coastal roofing company, where he ascended to a managerial role, quoting on projects ranging from $20,000 to $250,000.

In 2007, he returned to NSCC to deepen his knowledge in investment management, completing courses including the Canadian Securities Course and Life License Qualification Program. This educational pursuit steered him toward a career in finance, where he served as a Financial Planner and later as a Mobile Mortgage Specialist at Scotiabank. In 2017, he revisited the construction industry, taking a leadership role with the Laborer's International Union of North America, overseeing a team of 10 to 15.

Leveraging his combined expertise in finance and construction, he founded Matty Renos in 2018. His initial project, converting a residential property into a lucrative Airbnb, marked the beginning of many successful renovations. He expanded his venture by transforming a single-family home into a duplex and later a triplex, enhancing his reputation for quality transformations.

Matty Renos offers comprehensive residential services, including remodeling, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and custom carpentry. His strategy involves closely understanding each homeowner's needs and vision, ensuring that every project is a testament to his team's skill and professionalism.

Outside his professional life, he is a devoted family man who cherishes time with his loved ones and maintains a healthy lifestyle through golf, yoga, and regular exercise. He is also an active volunteer with Feed Nova Scotia, dedicating his time to distributing food to those in need, reflecting his commitment to his community.

His career is a testament to his ability to blend entrepreneurial vision with practical expertise, making him a respected figure in both the business and local community.
