As owner/builder, Matt oversees all company operations. He is integral throughout the building process from pre-construction to completion. During the pre-construction phase of the project Matt works with the customer to plan, specify products, budget and order their new modular home. After delivery of the homes, Matt also manages directly many of the projects on-site.
Today we hear a lot of talk on TV, magazines, and the internet about green construction. It's easy to feel "green-washed", or the feeling that everyone is claiming to be green, but what does that mean? At Carina, we have been building affordable green homes since 2003. We call our homes Planet Friendly for many reasons, but most of all because our homes seek to reduce our personal impact on the planet.
As you consider your design and floor plan for your new modular home, keep in mind that one of Carina's best-used services includes free customization of your home. We've built over 180 homes and only 2 were built exactly to the floor plan from the factory. Because of the modular construction, the interior walls can be moved to your space requirements.
Professional Building Systems, Inc. was founded in April of 2000 and has grown to become one of the largest modular manufacturers on the east coast. PBS produces over 1,000 living units per year, including ranch, cape, and two-story homes as well as apartments, dormitories, schools, and other light commercial structures.
We have many people contact us at various stages of the building process. As you consider the benefits of building a new green modular home, consider setting up a no-obligation meeting with us to go over pricing and our build process. You can get started by reviewing all the information we provide on this website, check out some of the floor plans as a guide and also visit our modular factory partners websites and floor plans.

We feel so blessed to have found this gem. This beautifully constructed cape was designed with windows to optimize 180 degree views with beautiful sunsets and natural light. Carina Construction delivered a module home that is energy efficient has sturdy construction and well drained foundation with comfortable in floor heat. The open floor plan maximizes the living space and allows for entertaining with a large granite island. Matt has been a responsive and helpful resource even though we are the second owner of this home.

We worked with Carina to have our dream home built in Ithaca. Matt, Elise and their team were excellent all the way through the process. They were understanding of our design goals, helped us develop a vision for the house, and got it done on time even in the middle of a pandemic (the house was finished June 15th 2020). They were also accommodating to our changes and updates to the design during the build. We didn't encounter any issues that were not easily fixed in a professional way throughout the whole process. We could not have been happier. We highly recommend Carina Construction.

Matt and Elise Haney, along with their staff, were warm and welcoming from the initial contact I made to Carina, throughout the entire process. They always made time to work with me and answer my many questions. I was pleased with the professional knowledge they all had. When dealing with the numbers and structural aspect of the build, Matt was exceptional. He also made smart recommendations and suggestions that turned out to be key to the success of the project. For example, the placement of the house on my lot to avoid dealing with water issues later; flipping the living end of the house to reverse

When we first met Matt, Phil told him outright that he would need to earn our trust since we had had such terrible experiences with several builders in the past. We had decided to check out Carina Construction since it was near to the land that we had bought.
From the first meeting, we could tell Matt was different from all the other builders with which we had worked before. After being honest about timeline – we would have to wait until the following year to start, Matt and Elise offered suggestions to optimize the configuration of the house and save us money after visiting our site.

I have been providing engineering services for Matt Haney and his company, Carina Construction, for about 3 years now.
I work with many contractors, and Matt and his crew provide great homes at a great price, and their customer service is excellent. Matt goes out of his way to exceed customer expectations and provide not only a great product, but a great home-building experience. Building a new home can be a very challenging experience, but Matt's extensive knowledge of the industry and his excellent interpersonal skills make the process as easy as possible.
His support team also does a great

I have worked with Carina Construction and several of their clients in recent years. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Matt's team and great feedback from his clients. The houses that Matt and his team deliver are constructed to the highest standards. These homes exceed building efficiency standards and are constructed with quality materials. Carina allows a wide range of customization options while keeping their clients costs down. I work with many builders in our area and Carina Construction is the clear leader of the pack in the modular home industry.

It is rare that I am moved to post reviews on line. However, my experience with Carina Construction over the past 8 months has been an experience worthy of comment. The planning stage for my new home was a truly custom design process. Both Matt (builder) and Elise (interior designer) Haney spent many hours with me, getting to know who I am, how I live, what I want in my home, etc. From that, together we designed a home that accommodates and expresses my life and style, stays within my budget, and is perfect in the natural setting I had chosen.

Carina Construction Services has built several houses for my customers over the past few years, so I have had the opportunity to work with Matt and his team multiple times. I have appreciated this thoroughness and excellent communication with me during the entire planning and construction process. Each project has been successfully completed on time and on budget. As a mortgage originator I have a high comfort-level with Matt and his company and recommend Carina to my other clients whenever possible.
