M. Havas

Conscientious and responsive professionals. The project manager was a pleasure to work with. Chose Significant Homes to finish a basement and refresh a large 25+ year house, largely because they were the general contractors when the house was built. It was a good decision that must have avoided many of the surprises common when dealing with older houses. They still had some of the original structural, electrical and plumbing plans and were able to bring in some of the original subcontractors. Would call them again.

Significant Homes has done an outstanding job for us. Matt and Whit are a pleasure to work with. They are conscientious, budget focused and super efficient. We gave them a tight deadline to work with. They have stayed within our original budget and kept us on track for a move in date. Those qualities are hard to find these days. The foreman on our job is top notch.

Matt, Whit and Signifcant Homes have been exceptional throughout a major renovation of a big house. And one everyone thinks weve done in record time, and I'd agree with that. From day 1, they've been totally on top of the many subcontractors, have kept the project totally on time (and as said, we had an aggressive time schedule). They've also been within budget and every item has been separated as its own budget item, so we could easily assess the situation. In some cases, when prices seemed high, Matt and Whit got as many as 7 other bids. The house was beautifully built about 15 years ago, and all improvements we made are also of the highest caliber. They've also gone beyond what's necessary in several somewhat unrelated issues. I would only say all this is I totally felt it and I do. I can sing their praises very high.

I can say this with all sincerity that there is not a more qualified and honest contractor. Having delt with a horrible prior situation, my husband and I were very wary of this building process. It has been almost 4 years and Matt and Whit still continue to touch base and help with little projects. Not only is the quality impeccable, but the character of this father son duo is what sets them apart from all others!! If we had to build a house in Alaska we would somehow find a way to make significant homes do the project.

Comment from Significant Homes LLC:

Thank you Leason! It has been such a pleasure working with you! It's a real bonus to come away from a project having made new friends. We'll figure out a way to get the Alaska house done!

Gaston & Wyatt has been delighted to work with Significant Homes as a supplier of millwork and cabinetry. Their approach is professional and organized, which makes the work of subcontractors easier and translates into reduced costs and tighter schedules for their clients. We highly recommend Whit and Matt and their great team at Significant.

As a real estate professional in Greenwich I have had the pleasure to tour some of the homes built by Matt & Whit Matthews. I can say, without a doubt, that Significant Homes is one of the premier builders in our area. As a friend and colleague I can say that they are a pleasure to work with, always honest, diligent and ready to go the extra mile for their clients. "

Significant Homes worked on the renovation of our stone house and guest cottage, both built in 1941. The project took approximately 18 months. They did an excellent job: transparent, straightforward, prompt, thorough, wonderful to deal with.
