## The honest read

Significant Homes LLC is a general contractor and home builder that says it has been in business for 45 years. On the Better Business Bureau it describes itself as offering general contracting, new home construction, home improvements and remodeling.

A 2017 customer said the company finished a basement and refreshed a house of more than 25 years that it had built as the general contractor, and that it still had some of the original structural, electrical and plumbing plans. A 2017 customer described a major renovation of a big house and said Matt and Whit kept the project on time and within budget, getting as many as 7 other bids when prices seemed high. A 2017 customer said the company worked to a tight deadline, stayed within the original budget and kept them on track for a move-in date. A 2016 customer said the company renovated a stone house and guest cottage built in 1941, a project of about 18 months.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0583372, as active, held by Significant Homes LLC.

**Strengths:**
- Budget tracking — a 2017 customer said every item had its own budget line
- Older home renovation — a 2016 customer described a 1941 stone house renovation
