Meet Matt Self
The owner answers the phone.
I started Legasea to build homes the way I would want my own family's built. Every client has my cell. I'm on your job site most days, sometimes with a tool belt on, and if a question comes up at four o'clock on a Friday, you'll get me. That doesn't change as we grow.
