Real Reviews from Real Homeowners
“My wife and I are both disabled, and being able to shower again was an emotional experience. I actually cried during my first shower.”

For a few years, my family and I struggled to find someone who could install our shower so we could finally have a complete home. We called Urban Edge with hope, and they delivered.
They offered a free estimate, and instead of talking about past jobs or telling stories, they got straight to work. The entire job took just two days. The first day was preparation, and by the second day, everything was finished.
The quality of the work is outstanding. There were a few challenges along the way, but each time, they came up with a solution almost instantly and handled it without hesitation.
I’m not sure they fully understand what this means to us. My wife and I are both disabled, and being able to shower again was an emotional experience. I actually cried during my first shower.
If you want someone who respects your time, tells you the truth, and has an incredible work ethic, this is the company to go with.
From our family to you: THANK YOU 😊
“We asked Matt if he could get one of our kitchen wall’s updated. He said he could and he did a super job! We were very impressed from beginning to end of the project. He and his work mate did a great job with the wall. He started the job when he said they would and kept in constant contact throughout. Always kept us informed of every step and asked what we wanted at each step. We will definitely contact Urban Edge for our next project.”
“Matt did some trim work for us, and did an awesome job. We are still recovering from the Derecho of 2020. We had a door that was falling off the jam, so we had that fixed as well. Keep up the great work Matt. We look forward to working with you on future projects.”
“Matt is professional and very personable. Most impressive is the efficiency with which multiple jobs have been completed. Strong work ethic. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic small company. The owner takes pride in his work. He also cleans up when finished.”

Why Homeowners Choose Urban Edge
What sets Urban Edge apart is simple: you work directly with me, Matt, from the first call to the final walkthrough. There's no crew of strangers cycling through your home — just one person who takes your project seriously and treats your space with respect.
I built this business to stay small on purpose, because staying small means I can stay consistent. Every estimate is clear, every timeline is realistic, and every job gets the attention it deserves. If you want a contractor who actually cares about the details, that's what Urban Edge is built for.
Trade-Skilled & Specialized
Every trade I offer — flooring, remodels, cabinetry, roofing, decks — is work I do myself with hands-on expertise. You're hiring a specialist, not someone figuring it out as they go.
Itemized Estimates, No Hidden Costs
Every estimate is itemized, accurate, and discussed in detail before work begins. No vague ranges, no change orders sprung on you mid-project. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Cedar Rapids Based, Community Invested
Urban Edge is based in Cedar Rapids and serves homeowners across Linn County and Eastern Iowa. Every project is treated like a neighbor's home — because it is. Local reputation matters here, and I take that seriously.
Realistic Timelines, Clean Jobsites
Project timelines are set honestly and communicated throughout. Every job ends with a full walkthrough and complete cleanup. I don't consider a project done until you've seen every detail and signed off.
Service Area
Serving Cedar Rapids & Linn County
I serve homeowners across the Cedar Rapids metro and surrounding communities — from Center Point in the north down toward the Iowa City area, and east to Mount Vernon. Not sure if you're in the zone? Just call or send a message and I'll let you know right away.
