MEET THE TEAM


ROBERT HAWKS

Throughout his career, Robert Hawks has designed and constructed homes and completed countless projects in the northeast area. Beginning as a realtor and later moving into mortgage banking, he used his industry exposure to help fill a glaring gap in the construction and remodeling industry. “A lot of my friends, family and colleagues starting home projects would complain about their experiences, and I realized that the contractor/homeowner relationship was dated, convoluted and sometimes, abrasive.” As a result, Liamar was structured from inception to be the firm that keeps it simple and fun, listens to client needs and executes impeccable precision work.

Outside of Liamar, Robert enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, exercising, reading and relaxing at the coast.

Beginning his education at the demanding International Masonry Institute, Frank quickly mastered his skill and sought out to expand his knowledge of all trades such as carpentry, tile and flooring, structural, electrical and plumbing. From finalizing installations to managing crews, Frank is an all-around perfectionist who is caring, personable and detail-oriented.

Frank enjoys traveling, spending time with family and helping friends and relatives wherever the need. You can find Frank reading about the latest construction trends when he is not helping someone out.
