Our History

Nearly three decades ago, Matt Workman started tinkering around in the field of construction. He was trained in the ways of quality craftsmanship by a third-generation carpenter. It was then that this job became a passion. In 2000, after receiving a degree in construction management and a general contractor’s license, Matt started The Workman Company, Inc. with his wife Angie. Since The Workman Company’s humble beginnings as a one-man crew, our values have remained the same. We strive to build a quality product at a fair value while providing personalized customer service.

Our team members continue to improve their skills through education classes and seminars. This helps us provide innovative, cost-effective solutions to our clients.

Combined with top-notch management practices, we offer the best-built product available in Utah Valley. Our team members bring decades of combined experience in the building industry to every job, providing our clients with top quality.

Matt was raised in Utah, the eighth of nine children. He grew up in a household of sisters, with his only brother leaving home when Matt was just five. The Workman family had the unique opportunity to spend three years living in Europe during his early teenage years, providing him with enriching cultural experiences. He enjoyed tinkering on vehicles as he worked at a service station through high school. The pride he felt when he drove around in a 1978 Ford pick-up—a truck he had worked so painstakingly to restore—led him to believe his future would be in the auto industry.

When Matt returned from serving a church mission, he jumped right into training as an auto mechanic at Utah Valley State College. At the same time, he was offered a carpentry position by a third-generation building contractor. It was there that Matt discovered a passion for craftsmanship in the art of construction. He loved working with his hands. Each new project provided unique learning experiences as he perfected his carpentry skills. Over the course of his employment, he worked up to a management position within the company. He loved the unique challenges each project presented and the satisfaction of seeing a quality job done to completion. He abandoned his nearly finished automotive degree to pursue a bachelor’s degree in construction management. His new aspiration was owning and operating a quality, custom construction company.

Angie was raised on an Indiana farm, which was homesteaded by her ancestors in 1817. She participated in numerous sports, baked with her grandmother, and enjoyed summers out playing with her three younger siblings. She especially loved riding around the fields with her dad during harvest time. She learned a strong work ethic as she helped around the farm and in the family’s construction and development businesses.

While Angie often dreamed of following in her grandparents’ footsteps as a doctor, she also enjoyed helping her aunt grade school papers and doing accounting work for the family farm. Angie earned a Trustees’ scholarship to BYU, where she received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. After working her way through college in the BYU Math Lab, she enjoyed five years as a classroom teacher.

Upon Matt’s graduation from UVSC with a bachelor’s degree in construction management, years of training, passion, and perseverance came together in the creation of The Workman Company, Inc. It is a family business built from the ground up. It started as a two-man crew with Matt building decks and Angie managing the office. From there, we have built an experienced team of skilled carpenters, knowledgeable subcontractors, and quality suppliers. Our clients become friends for life, as most of our business is repeat customers and referrals. Angie enjoys the opportunity to custom-design projects to perfectly match your lifestyle. From there she is able to help you scope out the work to fit your expectations and your budget. Matt loves meeting clients on-site as he personally manages each job to ensure our company meets your every expectation. He loves collaborating with his experienced team members to execute your project to perfection. We love what we do and together have built a business on integrity, experience, craftsmanship, and friendship.

We have built our forever home in the foothills of Maple Mountain. We are active in our community, volunteering as athletic coaches, scout leaders, classroom helpers, and seeking service opportunities. We enjoy working together on home improvement projects, providing opportunities for our children to learn the family legacy of hard work. We look forward to trips back to the family farm several times each year. We love time outdoors together traveling, camping, biking, and hiking.
