Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

Matthew’s excitement for building started at a young age while regularly tagging along with grandfather to various job sites. Excitement grew into a career after graduating Illinois State University with a Construction Management degree and landing his first job with the nation’s largest home builder. He quickly made a mark for himself as an effective project manager with uncompromising quality standards and attention to detail.

Matthew left his project management job in 2011 to join as the 3rd generation of Hemenover Construction. Since joining the team Matthew has been recognized as one of Kankakee County’s 40 under 40 business leaders. He serves on the Kankakee Community College Construction Management Advisory Council, and also teaches an introductory project management class at the college. Matthew is an active member of the local Home Builder Association.  He still carries the same passion for building that his grandfather and father have taught him over many years

Sarah and their three kids, Mason, Ryan, Ava round out Matthew’s family. They spend time at swim meets, little league games, and the dance studio. When they get away the family enjoys boating, skiing and anything to do with water. Sarah operates a boutique-style photography business Sarah Jane Photography,which focuses on high school senior portraiture and families.
