About Us

Cooper's success derives from experience, craftsmanship and attention to customer service. That success has been earned one project at a time. Sales were at all time highs in 2006 and 2007, with a large portion of the work resulting from invited bidders and negotiated contracts. The company still occasionally pursues selected public projects. However, Cooper has enjoyed long relationships with many of their customers, resulting in a great deal of repeat business. For example, the company has completed 7 multi-million dollar projects for one of its industrial customers. In addition, as one of WNC's senior, largest and most reputable general contractors, Cooper tends to sell itself. Many new clients are a direct result of strong recommendation from previous clients or associates.

Although not necessarily revenue driven, sales have increased substantially over recent years, the company has never desired growth for the sake of growth. Cooper remains founded in the philosophy of managing their projects in a progressive and professional, yet personal, manner. What sets Cooper apart is a firm belief in properly managing projects with a sense of urgency and proper communications rather than letting projects manage the company.

History

A Family Business-

James W. "Tommy" Cooper founded Cooper Construction Company Inc. (Cooper) in 1967. Mr. Cooper brought to the company a wealth of experience, having been one of the founders of Industrial Maintenance Overflow Corporation (IMOCO) in 1964, a Fletcher, NC company specializing in industrial general construction and mechanical contracting.

After graduating from East Carolina University with a management degree in 1974, Thomas L. (Tom) Cooper joined the company, and upon the retirement of his father in 1985, succeeded to the presidency of the company. In 1976, after attending Brevard College, J. Michael (Mike) Cooper, Executive Vice President/Secretary, joined the company. Tom and Mike Cooper became the sole stockholders of Cooper in 1997, which moved in 1996 to a new operations center just off Interstate 26 in Hendersonville.

Cooper became a third generation family business when Mike's oldest daughter Kelly Ford, an Elon University graduate, joined the company in 2003 followed by her husband Trey, a NC State University graduate, in 2004. The third generation's involvement continued to grow as Tom's youngest son Zach joined the company upon his graduation from Clemson University in the Spring of 2008. In its first four decades, this third generation firm has built a reputation, organization and staff second to none in Western North Carolina.

Cooper is more than just a business for its owners. As a company established by a family with strong moral & ethical values, and continually owned and operated by their family, the owners are passionate about Cooper Construction. Each of the more than 1,600 projects completed since 1967 has been managed in a style that is progressive, professional and personal. That's the way it has always been, and that's the way it will always be.
