  Buyer Beware! I wish we had known. We went under contract unknowing!!! I looked for a review and couldn't find one so I am writing this to help any more unsuspecting buyers. He claims not to build custom homes yet advertises that he does After we went under contract on a home he had already started building, he immediately spent our escrow money, so not finishing the process would have meant a long legal battle to get our money back. He advertised level 5 granite as standard and then only allowed level 1!!! He was with me when I picked a granite at his cabinet distributor and it was level 2 but assured me there would be no up charge. there was! then he said I could pick the tile I wanted up to a certain amount. I did. I stayed within budget but he doesn't have tile installers and acts like its the first time he had to find someone to install tile. The guys he hired on the side had no idea what they were doing. They used twice the amount of tile I ordered. Then he tried after settlement to charge me for tile. Not one room in the house that had tile was finished. All the edges were unfinished, floors had missing tile, grout was never installed on the kitchen backsplash....you get the vision. I had to hire my own tile repair man to install and finish all the edges of the tile and install and fix what was missing. This guy is a walking disaster! He will try and tell you all the neighbors where you are buying the house are crazy, and that he is the victim. He befriends you so you don't knock on doors and ask questions Do yourself a favor and ask. Its one excuse after another. You would have thought it was the first time anyone ever asked for a hood vent in a kitchen. Of course all the pictures he shows you of his previous work are beautiful custom kitchens. I've spent thousands in time and money professionally finishing and fixing everything he left undone. He didn't even give us a new oven in our appliance package. he took a used one from a previous buyer who he owed a new oven to. sounds like a theme of his. Since he always owes someone , no one writes a review because they just want him to finish. He signed a list of items he owed us after settlement that included the oven but then disappeared for two weeks. wouldn't answer a single call and then when he finally did call back said we owed him money so he wouldn't finish or supply the oven. Please save yourselves!!! I wish I had found any type of review before we went under contract and this sham spent our escrow. It would have saved me thousands. BTW he wont hire a cleaning company to do a post construction clean so you are left with a mess. He didn't even install builder grade toilet paper holders or towel racks in the bathrooms. We had to buy everything after settlement. If your asking yourself why did we go to the settlement table with all this unfinished its because we had to. It took Matthew White and his partner Steve Gross so long to complete the house the mortgage rate I locked into was expiring. it will cost a lot to extend the rate and there is no way you will get it from this builder no matter what the settlement date is on the contract. He said he would be ready with the house Nov 19 so we scurried to sell our previous home. Buy the time we went to settlement on the mess he had left us, we had to move since the buyers of our previous home were moving in.
