Thompson Communities follows a thoughtful, step‑by‑step design‑build process that takes you from your first idea to a finished space you love. This approach keeps communication open, expectations clear, and quality high from start to finish.

Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:

• Initial Consultation:
  We begin by listening. During your first meeting, we talk through your goals, budget, and vision so we’re aligned on what you want to achieve.

• Design & Planning:
  Our team collaborates with architects, designers, and engineers to craft detailed plans tailored to your preferences. This phase includes material selections, drawings, and a preliminary cost estimate so you can see your project taking shape.

• Permits & Approvals:
  We handle all the paperwork, including permits and zoning requirements. Because we’ve navigated these steps many times, we know how to keep things moving without unnecessary delays.

• Construction:
  Once plans are finalized and permits are in place, our skilled team brings the design to life with craftsmanship and clear communication along the way.

• Finishing Touches & Walk‑Through:
  As construction wraps up, we focus on the fine details and walk through the space with you to make sure everything feels right before you move in.

• Move‑In & Beyond:
  Your project includes ongoing support and a comprehensive warranty, so you can enjoy your newly remodeled home with confidence long after completion.

Thompson Communities makes the remodeling process straightforward, collaborative, and tailored to your lifestyle—so you always know what’s next and feel supported at every step.

Every home and remodel is unique, so these figures are meant to give you a starting point. But it helps to start with established local benchmarks from across the Tri‑State Area.

At Thompson Communities, every estimate includes design, permit pulling, labor, and materials, so there are no surprises.

Building or remodeling your home is a major investment, and choosing the right partner makes all the difference. Asking the right questions upfront helps you find a builder who’s transparent, detail‑oriented, and aligned with your goals.

Key Questions to Ask:

• What’s your process for site planning and design?

• How do you select and manage subcontractors?

• Do you provide detailed specs and estimates before signing?

• Can I see a portfolio or tour a recent build?

• How do you communicate throughout the project?

At Thompson Communities, we believe you deserve straight answers, upfront pricing, and a process that makes sense. We welcome your questions and are happy to walk you through exactly how we work because building trust is just as important as building your home.
