Hopkins Homes LLC is Owned and Operated by Matthew Hopkins.
With 16 years of home inspection experience, 25+ years of residential building and construction experience and 14 years of building science and energy efficiency focus, Matt Hopkins is no stranger to houses, new and old, with all of their problems and potential glory. Since studying Architecture at Hampshire College, he 9 years working in architecture, salvaging materials at The Rebuilding Center, and remodeling homes.
While working in architecture, he gained experience with residential and commercial construction. He's worked on projects from a Montessori School in North Carolina to the new buildings in the South Waterfront, to homes in the west hills. He gained a thorough knowledge of how a building comes into reality both structurally and politically, learning how positive communication between architects, contractors, inspectors, and clients can help a project achieve its full potential.
At The Rebuilding Center he had the opportunity to see houses deconstructed for a unique look at the inner workings of a building. Through this experience he learned what neglect can bring to a home and how problems can spread out of control. He brought this combined experience to the table when he began remodeling homes to effectively evaluate the priority of his own projects.
Having bought two houses in as many years, Matt became well acquainted with the process of buying a home. He became a resource for friends and acquaintances who wanted help while looking for homes of their own. In doing this, he realized how much he enjoys helping others understand the complex web of issues involved in a prospective home and is excited to now be able to share his experience and passion with the wider community.
So, whether it's the purchase of a new home, or the remodel of an existing home, Matt will be right there with you to help put the pieces together for a clearer picture of the opportunities ahead!
