Company History

Matthew Gurney, President of Coastal Maine General Contracting, Inc. grew up in Central
Maine.  By age fourteen, he had developed a love for carpentry, and did many small jobs for
family and friends.  During high school, Matt had a job remodeling rental properties, which lead
to his desire to seek higher education in residential construction and business.  While in college,
Matt spent three years working with S.W. Cole Engineering, a firm from Augusta, Maine, where
he gained experience in site work engineering for commercial buildings.  After receiving his
degree in business, Matt moved to Machias, Maine where he worked for two years learning how
to utilize the design and drafting software that he uses for his projects while being employed by
Bayshore Steel Detailing.  Matt also gained invaluable experience working on both small and large
commercial projects. Before starting this general contracting business, Matt obtained much
experience designing projects as well as helping to construct the commercial building that houses
Downeast Baptist Church. In April of 2006, Matthew Gurney incorporated Coastal Maine
General Contracting, Inc., and it is his desire to provide the Downeast region of Maine with
unmatched construction service.  He believes in creating work for local individuals and local
businesses in order to promote healthy growth and expansion in the area.  Quality work
completed in a timely manner, is what Coastal Maine General Contracting, Inc. strives for in
every aspect of its business.
