"As builders, we believe in uncompromising quality. Creating fine homes at a reasonable cost is our primary goal."

Matthew Lufburrow

Matthew Lufburrow was born in Middletown, N.J. in 1787. He came to Savannah as a Master Mason and a Master Builder circa 1815. He did much work in Savannah. Two of his homes, rated exceptional by Historic Savannah, are still standing. He superintended the U.S. Custom House for John Norris, the architect.

Today, Lufburrow, Inc. continues that fine tradition. The present day company. was founded in 1959, by Albert B. Lufburrow, who is currently the Vice-President and main stockholder. The company was an outgrowth of Lufburrow Realty Co., which was founded by Thomas W. Lufburrow in 1923. At the time of incorporation, Savannah had a need for a company who had the knowledge and desire to build quality homes and develop distinctive neighborhoods. Lufburrow, Inc. was created to fulfill these needs. Since it’s inception, we have built many homes in the Savannah, Bluffton and Hilton Head communities. Such developments as South Harbor on Skidaway, Habersham Woods, 6401 Habersham and Stephenson Court have been built and developed by our company.

As builders, we believe, as Grandfather Matthew did, in uncompromising quality. In order to accomplish this goal, we enjoy the privilege of working on a daily basis with the owner, architect and the designers. Creating fine homes at a reasonable cost, is our primary goal. The supervision of the construction is the responsibility of Jerry Miller, A.I.A. In order to build a fine home, it must be created and built like a piece of handcrafted furniture. It requires special attention and devotion to detail. This level of attention allows us to only undertake two or three projects at a time.

Entering The University of Georgia, he joined Sigma Chi Fraternity, where he held several offices, including secretary and vice-president. After graduating with degrees in accounting, business management and real estate, he returned to Savannah to carry on the family real estate and construction businesses.

In 1978, he married Sara Dearing and has been blessed by the gift of two children, Matthew and Mary Elizabeth.

Stephen gained invaluable, "hands on" experience in the building business, by working for several construction subcontractors during the summers, while in high school and college. The application of technical knowledge and management skills learned in the field, as well as in college, have enabled the company to maintain quality standards in a world where production is all to often overemphasized at the expense of quality.
