2014 has been a good year for our company, and we expect it to get better and better with time. The residential building market appears to be coming back, albeit slowly, from The Great Recession. As more homebuilders pick up new projects, they are choosing to use our company for their basement foundations.
Three of those homebuilders are featured here. We are happy to welcome them to our great group of builder clients, and we thank them for their business. It is a pleasure to work with each of them.

Marvin Spears has been a homebuilder for 30 years. Twelve years ago, he partnered with Tim Parker of TCP Investments, LLC. Together they survived the real estate and construction downturn, and today are building beautiful semi-custom and custom homes. We had the pleasure of constructing the basement of a gorgeous home they are building in the Eagles Crest subdivision in Paulding County.
“I had worked with another poured wall contactor for quite some time,” said Marvin, “and I just wasn’t getting good response from them. Tim was referred to your company and I made a phone call.”
“Herbert Construction was extremely efficient in everything we did together. When David Summey, your Project Superintendent, came out to meet me at the job, we just clicked! It was as if we each knew what the other was going to say.”
“Herbert Construction was very fairly priced, and I had an immediate trust in them. I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry that they were going to try and take advantage of me. And, the best part of it is that the quality of the work was far more than I expected,” said Marvin. “Dealing with Herbert Construction was a pleasure, and I am very satisfied with the overall experience.”

John Cooper (pictured right) has been an Atlanta area home builder for more than thirty years. He is active with the Greater Atlanta Homebuilders Association, and was the proud recipient of the 2012 OBIE Builder of the Year Award. This prestigious award is given to builders who are not only active in the housing industry, but who make significant contributions to their communities through charitable service.
While John was familiar with Herbert Construction, he hadn’t used us before. As a subscriber to this newsletter, he was familiar with our company. However, when he read a particular article in the newsletter, he learned that he and Doug Herbert shared a similar love for the book Atlas Shrugged. That prompted him to call our company.
We constructed a basement for a custom home that John’s company built in North Georgia earlier this year. And so, a beautiful relationship was born!
“Herbert Construction is top notch” said John. “We were particularly impressed with your layout team. Their precision insured that the next step of the project went off without a hitch.” John’s son Thomas Cooper (pictured left) is the Vice President of Cooper Homes. He agreed with his father. “Working with Herbert Construction was a good experience. We are definitely looking forward to working with you on future projects.”
Brad Quin, the owner of BeQuin Homes has many years of experience building custom homes in North Georgia. He was one of several select builders involved in the Governors Town Club Project, in Acworth.
Brad was referred to Herbert Construction, and this year we worked together on two different projects. The first was a very complicated job in Blue Ridge, and the second is a beautiful custom home that Brad is building in Cobb County.
“My experience with Herbert Construction was very positive,” said Brad. “The first time I worked with them, I needed to build a very unique wall that was up against a crawlspace. They were very knowledgeable, Doug Herbert came out and personally surveyed the project with me. The crews who did the work were good, and I thought they did an awesome job.”
“The project I’m working on now was definitely not an easy foundation. There are lots of variations in wall heights and the project was very technical. I would be surprised if Herbert Construction did not win an award with this basement due to the complexity of the project.” “In short, said Brad, working with Herbert Construction has been a very positive experience.”
