Matthew Oldford

Born in 1980 in Canada, Matthew Oldford is a successful entrepreneur, real estate investor, developer, and the founder of Matty Renos, a residential renovation company celebrated for its seamless design-build process, meticulous attention to detail, and high-quality materials. Additionally, he holds accreditation as a Chief Financial Planner (CFP). His construction career began at the age of 22 after completing his studies at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC). He initially worked with a local builder, where he quickly absorbed knowledge of building systems and construction methodologies for both residential and commercial buildings. His journey in construction led him to a coastal roofing company, where he ascended to a managerial position, estimating projects ranging from $20,000 to $250,000. In 2007, he returned to NSCC to enhance his expertise in investment management, acquiring several financial certifications. This educational pursuit led him to Scotiabank, where he served as a financial planner and later as a mobile mortgage specialist. In 2017, he shifted back to construction, managing multiple teams as a foreman for the Laborer's International Union of North America (LIUNA). In 2018, leveraging his robust knowledge in finance and construction, he founded Matty Renos. He initially transformed a residential property into a successful Airbnb, which spurred further ventures in property renovations and conversions, such as turning a single-family home into a duplex. His experience with complex renovations and dealings with engineering, planning, and architecture firms bolstered his local reputation. He has managed multiple high-value projects, including a notable duplex conversion in downtown Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, which he transformed into a triplex with an additional secondary unit. His portfolio includes significant properties such as 37 Prince Albert Road, 29 Prince Albert Road, and several others across Nova Scotia, underscoring his foresight and developmental prowess.
