We’re a small, owner-operated construction company in Cottage Grove, MN. Two founders. A tight team. One standard: do it right or don’t do it.
Mantic Construction was founded by Matt Catlin and Craig Polson — two craftsmen who had worked enough jobs at enough companies to know exactly what a residential contractor should look like, and exactly what most of them got wrong.
The story of how Mantic started is worth telling, and it’s yours to fill in here. Where did you meet? What was the moment you decided to start your own operation? What did you want to build differently? A few honest sentences here go a long way toward earning trust with a prospective client.
Add that story here — keep it real, keep it short, keep it human.
Quality of work is our main goal. We focus on quality rather than quantity. That usually doesn’t make us the cheapest bid — but at the end of the day, our product is going to look and stand better than the cheapest one. That’s the trade-off we’re proud to make, and it’s why our clients come back.
Matt Catlin & Craig Polson — Co-FoundersWhen you hire Mantic, you work directly with the founders — not a project manager who’s never picked up a tool.

Six things that every Mantic client experiences, from the first estimate to the final walk-through.
You work directly with Matt and Craig — the people who care most about getting it right. No layers, no handoffs to someone who wasn’t at the estimate.
We take on fewer projects so we can do each one properly. We’d rather lose a bid than cut a corner.
You hear from us consistently. We tell you where the project stands, what’s coming, and when to expect us — without you having to chase us down.
Every project comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. If something isn’t right, we make it right — no argument, no runaround.
We work within 40 miles of Cottage Grove — across the southeast metro and into western Wisconsin. We’re your local crew, not a contractor commuting from the other side of the Cities.
Fully licensed in Minnesota and fully insured. You’re protected, your property is protected, and the work is done to code — every time.
