1 Clean Cut was founded on a simple belief: homeowners deserve better communication, better workmanship, and a contractor who truly listens.

The journey began when Cody and Matt joined forces. Matt built a reputation for exceptional painting and finishing work after seeing too many contractors cut corners. Cody brought expert building skills as a licensed residential contractor known for integrity and precision.

Together, they created 1 Clean Cut, a name that stands for a clean saw cut in construction, a clean paint line, and two craftsmen working as one team with one standard: doing it right the first time.

Today, we proudly serve Frankenmuth, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, Flint, and all of Mid-Michigan with kitchen & bath remodels, painting & staining, custom carpentry, flooring, doors & windows, stamped concrete, and more.
