Our Story

From the Ground Up — Built With Purpose.

From the Ground Up — Built With Purpose.

Picasso Design & Remodeling wasn’t born in a boardroom.
It was born from sweat, concrete, and a deep refusal to accept mediocrity in the construction industry.

Our founder, Leo Matteo, didn’t come from privilege. He came from the ground — building from nothing, grinding through chaos, and learning firsthand how broken the remodeling world truly was.

Unqualified crews. Empty promises. Overpriced fluff.
Leo saw it all — and he chose to build something different.

Picasso was created to be a brand of integrity, precision, and emotional design — where every nail, every line, and every detail means something, it is in our DNA.

Our Promise

This isn’t just remodeling. This is legacy-building.

This is your story, told in stone, steel, and wood.

Leo's Purpose For Picasso

“I don’t build houses. I build masterpieces with precision” – Leo Matteo

Leo’s mission is clear:
To raise the standard of construction by blending elite systems, powerful design, and a client experience that feels like concierge service — not construction chaos.

For him, every project is personal.
Because behind every home is a family. Behind every blueprint is a vision. And behind every finish is a legacy.

Our Team

Built Different. Relentless training. Driven by Pride.

We don’t hire bodies — we build a team of high-performers who care.
