what advertisers say I in every issue photographed by NDC Photography Louie Hopkins of Hopkins Builders Hopkins Builders opened in 2001, but I have experience that formed even earlier, as I am a second generation builder. I grew up working for my father and have always aspired to own my own business. My father had a huge impact on my career. He was a residential contractor and naturally introduced me into the building business. At an early age, Dad established a strong work ethic that I still continue now. Growing up working in the family business, I started as a general laborer and was able to learn many valuable lessons along the way. This knowledge laid down the foundation for me to start Hopkins Builders. At Hopkins Builders, we offer all styles and designs of homes ranging from the modest starter home to the most elite custom homes. Our company also does highend renovations and remodeling projects for the homeowner who wants to upgrade their existing homes. I have advertised in She Magazine for the last four years. On a regular basis, I have potential customers mentioning that they saw our ad in She. Each month, we have the option of changing and editing the ad, which is a great feature to help us showcase our latest homes. Often, customers will even inquire about certain homes featured in our advertisements. My business would not have seen the growth that we have experienced without She Magazine. Thanks, She! 90 June 2014 shemagazine.com
