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
Executive Vice President
Builders Association of South Florida

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.
