"We had an addition built by Hooper that included a 28x30 foot two bay garage, and a bonus room over the garage. The craftsmanship was exemplary, and timely. I oversaw many construction jobs at a mojor university, and have never experienced any that exceeds the integrity of this add-on. The blending of the addition to the main structure was as good as it gets.
Jimmy Hooper of his own accord framed with 2x6's as opposed to 2x4 construction which was what was contracted for. This was completed with no up charge. That decision in turn allowed for additional insulation, which in turn created less operating cost for heating and cooling. The temperature in both the garage and bonus room is noticeably more stable. Any of the change orders, we asked for were completed at the builders cost of the subcontractors.
We experienced only one defect in the 11/2 since completion, and that was a failed exterior lamp which was changed timely, and at no cost to us. I had also called Jimmy about a roof repair on the main structure, which had blown a few shingles loose, had nothing to do with his work, but he kindly repaired at no cost. We had also purchased furnishings for the bonus room from a colleague of Jimmy's that required removal of a window, and a lift as the furniture was too big for the staircase. Hooper also did this work for no additional cost.
In essence the joy of timely completion, quality construction, friendliness, within the cost agreed to is rare in today's world, to which we're both appreciative and feel very blessed."
