After 3 years of working in the residential construction industry, we went out on our own in 2016 with a simple standard: do work we’re proud to put our name on.
It's the art of shaping one piece of wood to fit precisely against another, creating a perfect gap-free joint. A sure-fire mark of high-quality, custom craftsmanship.
But in the military, scribes are trusted for their vital responsibility to accuracy and communication. And historically, scribes were the keepers of knowledge: interpreting, preserving, & protecting information with the utmost care.
At Scribe General Contracting & Consulting, Kirk Mattson brings a military discipline to his love of building. Steph brings organization to the chaos of construction.
As a husband & wife duo, together with our small team & trusted tradesmen, we take on custom homes & renovations throughout the Monadnock Region of NH – and we do it with professionalism, genuine care, and a bit of working man’s grit.
It took 3 years to convince Steph to quit her job in education to join me in 2019, and within weeks, things were noticeably more organized (which I’ll admit was necessary).
If you hear a client raving about our communication or our processes, just know I learned from the best and Steph was the brains behind it all.
She’s a woman with a vision and plan to make it happen, so that’s good news for you and me both, don’t you think?
When Kirk left the Marine Corps and started working in construction, I had a feeling that he’d have trouble leaving his rank behind. He naturally wants to lead and can’t stand seeing corners be cut. So it wasn’t an if he’d start his own business but a when.
He’d rather be knee-deep in a build than sitting in the office (truly, getting him in front of a computer is a negotiation), but that’s because it’s where he’s at his best: fussing over details, solving problems, creating from scratch.
If there’s a better way to do something, he’ll find it. If there isn’t, he’ll build one.
“Both Kirk and Steph Mattson have an incredible attention to detail and go the extra 10 steps when bringing your vision to life.”
“Kirk is not just a contractor, he is a skilled craftsman who does not cut corners.”
"Kirk and Stephanie are very professional, responsive, trustworthy, and reliable. Will certainly hire them again! In fact, we’ve already got something booked!"
“It’s great to have an honest trustworthy craftsman that is local.”
The deck that sees a little wear because it’s in use all summer long. The kitchen with far too many cooks in it around the holidays. Birthday parties that got a little wild.
Your home should feel good to live in — day after day, year after year. Spaces you’re proud to open up to family and friends. Details that make daily routines easier and your lifestyle more enjoyable. C’mon, what’s more luxurious than that?
Veterans who take keeping their word seriously
Craftsmen who still believe that there’s no shortcut to high-quality
A family-owned business that is willing to stake its reputation on every nail.
Neighbors you can comfortably bring into your home and everyday routine (at least for a little while)

"Stephanie was so responsive, worked with me on scheduling and promptly answered any questions, communicating with me every step of the way.
On job days, Kirk arrived when he said he would, worked the ENTIRE time he was on site, and cleaned any debris as he worked. He completed the job on schedule, and left NO mess behind, inside or out. He was very kind and professional, and the work is SO MUCH better than I'd hoped!”

“I recently had my bathroom completely redone and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Kirk and his team were professional, kept me informed as the project progressed, very attentive to details, and met or exceeded all expectations. I would definitely recommend them for any of your remodeling needs!”
