HELLO! We are Matt + Lisa Dubé, partners in several businesses.

Matt, born + raised in Sault Ste Marie, was thrown into work life early, taught to work hard + reap the rewards. With a family of strong hard-working men behind him, + none of them shy to get dirty + pitch in, his work ethic was embedded at a young age. 

Knowing that working with his hands, designing + building was his calling, Matt completed the Fanshawe College carpentry course in 2002 + successfully earned his Ontario College Certificate. Upon graduation, Matt joined Local 1946 Carpentry Union in London, Ontario + was quickly on his way to starting his career. In 2003 Matt was asked to join a large contracting firm out of Blenheim as a carpenter. Matt accepted the offer + quickly climbed the ladder to the top as the Project Coordinator + Chief Estimator.  Travelling throughout Ontario to run a crew + oversee projects in the realms of 100k to 7-million-dollar supermarket base builds taught Matt the importance of working with his team.

The job proved rewarding, yet the demands of home life + 4 kids at home had him thinking it was time to come back + start his own contracting company. In 2011 Matt + Lisa, opened Dwell Construction Inc; a full-service design, build + renovate construction company in their hometown of Ingersoll, Ontario. Lisa, born + raised in Ingersoll; having sent their last child off to school full time in 2010, opened Dwell Urban Boutique a clothing + lifestyle boutique in the downtown core. Quickly the company named “Dwell” grew to become a respected + familiar household name.  

Matt with his eye for detail, kind nature + creative mind and Lisa with a love of creating spaces, home décor + pulling mood into a room through thoughtfully sourced pieces + colors; have become a power team for those looking to renovate their current home + create a space they want to come home to. Now both 13 years deep in their co partnered companies, the future looks bright + full of promise. If you are looking to create a welcoming space in your home, with fresh + simple design ideas, look no further, this is your team. 

We look forward to meeting you.

Peace, Love + Local
