What Our Clients Think
"From beginning to end, my experience with Thompson Communities was fabulous! We hired their home improvement division, headed by Matt Thompson, to do a build out of our 1800 sq ft basement. Complete with sliding barn doors, fitness room, media room and kitchenette, it turned out even better than imagined! I would highly recommend Matt and his crew for any and all home improvement projects."

Interior doors, stone countertops, and hardwood combine to create a feeling of luxury and comfort. Thompson works with their customers to create the options and design changes that make each of the homes in our community unique. We would recommend Thompson to anyone looking for a quality home, built with care, to their specifications."

What Our Clients Think
"We hired Thompson Communities to redo our kitchen. They were insightful on the layout and coloring and provided excellent ideas on how to make the most of our space and budget.
From start to finish, the project took 18 days. 18 days. I have had other contractors do jobs and they usually drag on for months. We were concerned about this one because it was our kitchen. But the team from Thompson knocked this out in an amazing timeline with jaw dropping results.I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to complete a project. I have used them for another project and am getting ready to start my 3rd. My opinion is that Thompson Communities are consummate professionals and are the level that other contractors should strive to meet."

What Our Clients Think
"Thompson installed two built in units in our home - one in the family room and one in an office. They were installed professionally - all employees were professional and courteous while in our home. We couldn't been happier with how they turned out... we did have one very small issue with one of the built ins - however when the issue was discovered - it was quickly remedied by Thompson. We would certainly use Thompson again."
