Meet Tom & Zack Hopkins

Tom Hopkins - Founder

Tom has been involved with many different facets of the construction industry, with the opportunity to work with HUD on the property preservation side in the early 2000s. This is where Tom found a passion for finding ways to not only fix issues, but to prevent future ones through doing it right the first time. Tom was fortunate enough to have a son that wanted to learn and be a part of the vision in helping the community become better through repairing distressed homes. It is this vision that continues to fuel the fire.

Zack Hopkins - Builder & Operator

Starting in contracting at 16 years old—maintaining and preserving properties in 23 different states for the federal government with my father—has helped me more than I can explain. I was constantly learning pieces of the industry that now push me to look at every property as if it were my own. At this point in my career, I have experience in all areas of residential construction and have learned from my father: "It's not done until it's done right."

What Our Clients Say

"We interviewed four contractors. Hoppy was the only one who asked about drainage, showed us material samples, and explained exactly how the deck would be anchored. The difference in professionalism was immediate."

— McLean Homeowner

"The Houzz Pro updates were a game-changer. I could see progress every single day, even when I was traveling for work. No other contractor we talked to offered anything close to that level of transparency."

— Vienna Homeowner

"Our deck was falling apart. They didn't just replace it—they re-engineered the whole structure, fixed the drainage issues the original builder ignored, and gave us a 25-year warranty. Worth every dollar."

— Great Falls Homeowner
