John Hopkins and his company Signature Roofing LLC are bogus.
John comes across as a nice guy. Even as a relatively sincere guy. But, it's false.
He cares only about himself and what he can get from you.
If he's putting a roof on your home, he's going to subcontract the work out to the lowest bidder... Which will likely be some undocumented workers. When there is a problem with their work... Good luck on getting satisfaction. Check with the Better Business Bureau in McKinney, Dallas, or even in Fort Worth if you wonder about this.
In my instance, he retained me to help him take his business public and raise additional working capital. Despite telling me initially that he had been in business since 1990... It seems that the company was only formed in 2007. He lied to me about this. Then, when I asked for due diligence information... including financial materials, biographical information of officers etc... They refused. It seems that they have submitted their reports to the U.S.internal Revenue Service without ever having prepared a general ledger. They even filed their paperwork with the Texas Comptroller's office like that. What this means is that the paperwork they filled was likely very inaccurate.
My agreement with the Hopkins and his company was pretty straight forward. They were to pay me a signing bonus and then they were to pay off my fee over a period of months. From day one, Hopkins and his crew did everything they could to mine my brain of information. They were trying to get the information and my help without paying me in full. And sure enough, after a couple months of payments... They stopped paying me. Heck, they just stopped returning calls etc... When I told them they still owed me for the entire contract regardless of whether they wanted to go forward or not, they had their lawyer send me a letter. As if that was going to intimidate me.
Hopkins has done business under different names. There's a reason for that.
My suggestion is not to deal with these guys. The risk is just too high.
Find a different roofing company.
