Testimonials
To Whom It May Concern:
It is a pleasure and a privilege to write this letter of commendation
for Harry Hollub and Hollub Homes. The Hollub name has stood for
excellence in building throughout South Florida for more than 50 years.
Harry, and his sister, Helene, have continued that tradition of
excellence and have taken it to a superior level of service, not only to
their homebuyers but to their charitable work as well.
Their unwavering dedication to quality and customer service is second to
none. Their sensitivity to the needs in our community is exemplified in
the formation of their foundation, Hollub House, and their commitment to
helping others in the community through the foundation.
When Harry and Helene reached out to put a new roof over the heads of an
elderly and indigent mother and daughter team who were barely protected
from the elements with the old leaky roof that was in place, they found
that the whole house needed massive repairs.
Although they could have just replaced the roof and walked away, that
would not have been consistent with the work ethic and philosophy of
life instilled in them by their Dad, Marvin Hollub, the founder of
Hollub Homes. With the help of family, friends and sub-contractors,
Hollub Homes created a totally updated, renovated, clean and safe house
for these two women.
We work with many wonderful builders in the South Florida community.
However, when Hollub Homes was selected as the 2006 Builders Association
of South Florida's BEST Awards "BEST of Show" winner, it was a fitting
tribute to the company and to its legacy that Harry and Helene have
nourished with their dedication to excellence.
They are winners by any construction standards you might use to judge
them, and they are winners where it really counts in the great
relationships they "build" with their customers and within the
community they love and care for. These builders care! They are the
BEST!
Sincerely,
Toni Pacelli-Hinkley

Dear Harry:
This letter is hard for me to write, because there are enough words to

Dear Harry:
It is hard to believe that it is almost two years since we decided to
have Hollub Homes build our house. Little did we know that a quick
recommendation would turn into an unforgettable experience. From
beginning to end, it was nothing but a seamless almost trouble-free
process. However, when few issues did arise, you and your subs were all
over-it and did whatever it took to make it right.
This is still amazing considering we were close to buying a house
already on the market. Only after speaking with your team did we decide
to build our own. You kept your promises, met your deadlines, stayed
within budget and delivered one of the most beautiful homes I have ever
seen!
It's tough when your reputation precedes you. But, you delivered and
delivered big. We're glad we're now part of the Hollub family! In fact,
crazy as it sounds, we had such an awesome experience, we were almost
sad when the house was finished.

Annette and Fred Baddour
Hi Harry and Amy,
Thank you so much for the absolutely delicious dinner from Joanna's! How
great it was to not have to worry about our first meal in the house. And
the smiley face cookies are the boy's favorites! I have no doubt that
you are the only builder who sends dinner to their clients. This whole
process has been such a pleasure - You and Amy and your entire family
have been amazing. What should we build next?
Dr. and Mrs. Billy Trattler
Good morning,
Just read the beautiful article in the Herald of your success to help a
family in need.
It's so nice to know you were able to do this and contribute not just
money which is the norm but to provide the actual service of your
professional work and livelihood.
This mitvah-deed is huge!!
Congratulations! Here's to another Hollub success.
Love,
Allison
Dear Harry,
After the fiascos most of us experienced in rebuilding after Hurricane
Andrew, it was with trepidation that I approached my major addition and
remodeling project. I interviewed and researched no less than five
contractors before deciding that Hollub Homes demonstrated
professionalism, integrity, and quality. My choice was clear; Hollub. I
particularly liked that Hollub is family-owned, and enjoys a
long-standing relationship with excellent sub-contractors as well.
As the building process began, it was reassuring to hear my architect
mention how impressed he was with the foundations, footings and overall
quality of work (Kudos to Red Dot Construction, your hard working
sub-contractor for the CBS shell). All of the work was well orchestrated
by Hollub, and your availability for any question I may have had was
gratifying. I never felt that I had any barriers to "talk with Boss". I
always knew I had your complete attention whenever I talked with you,
Harry, thank you for that courtesy.
I must mention a main reason that my master suite addition turned out so
beautifully, was the invaluable guidance of your sister Helene (the
interior design star of the family!)
Robbie Bishop was also instrumental in my project, as a resource, and
for his experience in dealing with building trades. He has the patience
of Job and the stamina of the energizer bunny! His easy going manner
helped ease some of the necessary logistical problems that arise. His
respect (as your foreman for my project) grew from the other
contractors, and the collegial relationship was obvious. Robbie
accomplished miracles in many instances.
I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone interested in
having a solid, quality home. Thank you Harry, and Helene for a
successful completion of my project, and for restoring my faith in a
company which lives up to its commitments and reputation.
Every concept and idea that I envisioned was brought to reality by
Hollub Homes. Thanks to you, I now own the home of my dreams.
Sincerely,
Catherine M. Hayes
Dear Harry:
The idea of buying a spec home was interesting. As you know, I'm a guy
who has a great appreciation for details. And for someone buying a
"custom home" rather than building it from scratch, I missed the chance
to "kick the tires " during construction. However, after walking through
our new home, I had little doubt that there wasn't a detail missed and
we were buying a home of such amazing quality and workmanship.
Obviously, it must have come as no surprise when we wanted only Hollub
Homes to design and build our addition. So besides getting the best
construction in South Florida, I now get to kick the tires!
regards,
Loyda & Guy Lewis
Dear Harry and Helene:
We have built over 15 new homes over the years. After speaking with
friends, the Hollub reputation led us right to your office...and
subsequently to one of the most amazing spec homes I've ever seen built.
I never knew it was possible to capture one's personality in a home, but
you did. The home has become the gathering site for my entire family.
And for that I thank you and your team. We invite anyone who is
considering a Hollub Home to call your very satisfied customers. As you
know, I had the opportunity to work with your staff on a daily basis.
You should be very proud of the team you have put together (still can't
believe that some of your subcontractors have been working with Hollub
for close to 30 years). You didn't miss a detail, even going as far as
building our home next to some amazing neighbors!
Best Wishes,
Helaine & Ed Lucente
Dear Harry and Helene:
For the past ten years, my wife and I have had the distinct pleasure of
working with Hollub Homes and their exceptional collection of
subcontractors on several renovation projects on our homes in the Falls,
Pinecrest and, most recently, Pine Bay Estates South - a Hollub Homes
development. Each time, Harry Hollub and his staff have provided us with
a level of service and a caliber of workmanship that, we think, is
unequaled in the South Florida construction industry. When quality,
responsiveness, and customer satisfaction are critical to a home
construction or renovation project, there simply is no better place to
turn than Hollub Homes.
Sincerely,
Cyndy & Don Blackwell
Dear Harry:
I don't know how you could have done anything else to make a renovation
any easier. During the process, it was as if your team were
invisible...well almost. My wife was as impressed with your team of
subcontractors as she was the work. Their outgoing personalities and
passion for excellence is something that you rarely see in business, let
alone building! I have nothing but great things to say about Hollub
Homes, especially the pleasure of working with Harry himself. He watched
the "bottom line" in regards to where and where not to spend money. We
were provided the almost perfect estimate. And we're still somewhat
dumbfounded how you could do so much work and have it still look like
the original house. If you need publicists for the company, just let us
know...though your reputation seems to be doing a good job on its own!
Best Wishes,
Barbara & Gary Davis
Harry and Helene:
We just want you to know how thrilled we are with our "new home."
Obviously, we knew a renovation would make a huge difference, but seeing
it complete - well that's another story. However, you understood what we
wanted and just "took off" with some amazing designs. It was truly
uncanny how your team could select materials which made our upgrade look
as if it were part of the original home. The entire process was seamless
and if you ask our neighbors, they will tell you they barely knew you
were there! Since the renovation process was so easy the first time,
we're doing it with you again!
Thanks!
Ellen & Robert Gutlohn
Harry and Helene:
We have always heard renovations are a stressful process. Whomever said
that, obviously never worked with Hollub Homes. We were extremely
impressed by all aspects of the project. We are telling all our friends
and family about the wonderful experience we have had with you. With
renovations being so exciting, others may just forget about buying a new
home and upgrade what they have. (I'm sure you didn't want to hear
that!) Thanks again for giving our home a second life.
Sincerely,
Daniela Zanzuri-Beiner and Ed Beiner
Harry:
Since we have been happily living in a Hollub Home for 25 years, moving
to another house was never an issue. So our decision to renovate became
paramount; and our decision to again work with you was easy. Thanks for
making us part of your team during the entire process. We loved the
first home you built for us and by working in partnership with you, we
felt a closeness during the entire upgrade. From start to finish, we
could be involved in the process. Any questions that we had were quickly
answered. Because of this, our decision was the right one for years to
come!
Thanks again,
Dr. Brian and Carole Weiss
We used Hollub Homes for a major renovation of our home. We were
extremely satisfied. Our project was far reaching. Harry Hollub was a
pleasure to work with. He was always professional, offering many
alternate ways to tackle a problem. His crew was reliable, courteous,
and extremely professional. We had a designer, who worked closely with
Harry, and between them they resolved the details required to deliver a
great product. Our designer who works locally, nationally and
internationally, was very impressed with the superior quality of work.
We cannot say enough about how satisfied we were in working with Harry
and Hollub Homes. Throughout the entire project they were professional,
reliable, helpful, honest, and a pleasure to work with. When our project
was done, we were so satisfied that we even briefly considered, selling
our renovated house and building a new house, because the whole
experience was so pleasant.
We would highly recommend Harry Hollub, and would work with him again.

Hollub Homes, Inc.
In deciding to remodel our Pinecrest home we considered many things. Of
course, cost was a factor, but more importantly we were looking for a
contractor who we knew would provide us with the quality and the full
service project supervision we were looking for. We’d done a smaller
remodel job before with a lesser contractor and had major issues with
quality and supervision and we didn’t want to go through that again.
Purely based on community reputation and our ability to see completed
projects we knew Hollub Homes could be the quality, full service company
we wanted.
Our project which lasted about 18 months had many issues that arose,
some project delays and the unavoidable frustrations that come with any
construction project. Throughout all of this, even at the times we
thought we could take no more, Hollub responded to our calls, dealt with
our issues and made things right. Harry Hollub was easily accessible,
and very easy going which helped in all of our interactions with
him…he’s a pleasure to work with.
Now that we are finally finished, we are glad we made the choice that we
did. We are now living in a beautifully renovated home that we love.
Yours truly,
The Zahn Family
Happy Holidays to all.
I will never forget al that Harry and the wonderful people at Hollub home
did for my mother and myself almost 2 years ago. Every time I see my
beautiful kitchen, the washer and dryer, and every thing else I was given
thought the wish book and your co-contracters I think how I blessed I am.
My Mother was able to enjoy her home and stay in a healthier environment
till she went home to heaven.
May God richly Bless you and your families.
Much Love and Thanks
Kathy Bergerson
