TESTIMONIALS

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "This company engineered and built a 10,000+ sq ft home for me in Greenwich, Ct. and a 4500 sq ft home for me in Nantucket, Ma. Both homes were crafted with meticulous detail, elaborate and exquisite materials and bespoke design. In the case of the nantucket house they came in under budget and in the case of the Greenwich house there were never any discrepancies and the need for very few changes or variations from the original plan, which kept the project running smoothly from beginning to end. All employees affiliated with Significant Homes LLC were not only professional, but also a pleasure to work with. I've had other experience with builders/developers and this company remains high on my scale."
