Our Story
Linked Living Homes is a locally owned and operated business in the Fox Valley, built on three generations of experience and the same values of hard work, honest service, and genuine care for the families we serve.
Where It All Began
1970
In 1970's , Cops Services was founded in Kimberly WI by brothers Henry & Jerry Cops. Cops began with janitorial services and later expanded into different services including restoration work for homes. They later moved to Kaukauna WI and operated out of the old municipal building alongside the river.
The 2nd Generation
1990
In the 1990's the family business was turned over to Henry's sons, Tom and Jim Cops. The business now operated under the name Cops Construction. Cops Construction was most involved in residential & light commercial construction and also offered a variety of construction related services including their own painting division.
Linked Living
2018
In 2018 Tom felt called to take on the mission of helping families to take care of their loved ones in a more specific way. Linked Living was created as a new company brand although the tools, building, and generational business experience flowed from the previous business. Tom's sons Michael & Greg Cops work with Tom running the business. In 2022 Linked Living moved from Kaukauna to their current location on Perkins St. in Appleton.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enable families to take care of their loved ones and live connected.

A Linked Living Story
We believe in putting people first and are committed to doing our work well in a way that improves the lives of the families we serve.
Our Process
We’re here to take away the worries, stress, and surprise costs from your project.
Our process is simple – and we’ll work with you through each step.
Custom Design
The design is a collaboration. We like to get to know you and your needs in order to best design the space. We’ll sit down together and create a design using our experience to create a design that serves your needs.
Plan & Permit
We’ll take care of all permitting. It begins with a permitting check early in the process to ensure we’re designing something that allowed. Once a contract is reached we’ll acquire all necessary permits.
Construction
Once permits and preconstruction planning is complete we’ll begin construction. We’ll manage the entire project including the construction of the addition, utilities, and associated remodeling of the existing home.
Turn Key Finish
When we’re done, all you need to do is furnish the addition, move in, and enjoy the new space.
