Thomas Construction

I write this review not as a contractor, but as a very competent "do it your-selfer." Even so, there are some tasks a homeowner just can't do. When we first purchased an old home, we made the mistake of assuming we could hire professionals to do the renovation and restoration work we wanted done but were unable to do ourselves, to our specifications. We were wrong. Our experiences with hiring contractors ran the gamut from no-shows for estimates to outright incompetentence- until we found Calvin. Over the past 4 years we have hired Calvin to complete a number of jobs on our historic home including (but not limited to): porch restoration (complete with new stairs, columns, and railings), cedar shake siding repairs, storm window glazing and painting, and a full repainting of the house. Most recently we had Calvin replace a porch roof and repair areas of water damage to the soffits and moldings that the porch suffered as a result of the failure of the previous roofing job done by a "professional roofer with over 30 years in the business" which leaked extensively within two weeks of installation. All of the jobs we have had done by Calvin and his team have been well planned and carried out thoughtfully and competently using the correct materials and in keeping with the historic details of the home. He not only does great work himself, but also holds those he works with to the same high standards. He is straightforward, honest, reliable, and willing to take the time to discuss the projects in great detail to ensure the work is done to your liking. Learn from our mistakes. If you value your home and want the work done properly, don't make the mistake of contracting with the cheapest bid on a job. You will end up paying for it in the long run. Instead, hire a true professional from the start. We have nothing but the highest praise for Calvin and his team and can very confidently recommend him for any work you need done.

We bought a historic one of a kind schoolhouse with good bones but no finish. The previous owner left an ambitious project half done-coffered ceilings in two classrooms. Calvin, Kevin, and crew were willing to use the materials we had on site and source the rest, which saved us some money. They didn’t just match the ceiling we already had, they vastly improved the design and durability. They also repaired badly done plaster and drywall, repaired busted up wainscoting, put in insulation when possible, and came up with an elegant solution for damage from an old radiator installation gone wrong. His painter, Broc, works hard, is flexible, and listens to suggestions. Because of the unique lighting situation I could only see spots that were missed in the late afternoon sun, but Broc and Calvin didn’t hesitate to come back and take care of it until I was satisfied. All his employees are gracious, highly skilled, and have a commendable work ethic. Sometimes it’s awkward to have strangers in your space day after day, but it was a pleasure to have them in our home. Now the room is absolutely breathtaking. Anyone who enters or sees the photos cannot stop talking about how amazing it is. They tell me I did a great job and I always correct them. It’s our contractor. We hired Calvin again to work on the (enormous) exterior this summer. Calvin Thomas has a good feel for historical buildings, the eye of an artist and the knowledge of a master craftsman. His goal is to be the best contractor you’ll ever hire. So when you receive your estimate from Thomas Construction, remember you get what you pay for. We paid for the best, I can’t imagine a better result, and this beautiful room will outlive us all.

I recently completed a whole home remodel with Thomas Construction. I cannot say enough good things about the experience that I had. We worked primarily with Kevin Voss and Bryant Post and both were great guys. (I did meet several of their other workers as well who were equally great). We were remodeling our house from out of town and we all know how challenging long distance removals can be, From the first day when Kevin showed up 5 minutes early with 7 or 8 contractors in tow on a Saturday morning, we pretty knew we had to go with him. He did not disappoint… every email or text was answered in a timely fashion, every detail attended to. We even came in just slightly under budget as Kevin helped us shop around looking for the best options for our ideas (even with adding a few things).I really cannot put into words the peace of mind we had knowing the Kevin and Briant were there to over see the details when we couldn’t be. I tell everyone how great Thomas Construction is and highly recommend them.

A friend at work recommended Thomas Construction to me to update a house I just bought since I’m new to the area. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hardworking and professional contractor who is skilled in installing hardwood floors, tile, windows, cabinetry, and crown molding as well as general construction such as framing and painting. The owner, Calvin Thomas, gave me a free itemized estimate so I knew exactly how much each part of the kitchen/living room remodel was going to cost, and he was very honest with how long it was going to take to complete. The Thomas Construction team put in long hours to complete as much as possible each day to remain on the timeline. In addition, they cleaned up as much as they could each night so my family and I could still live in the house during the project. Call Thomas Construction for your next project you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I spent almost 3 years back and forth on building our new house due to the uncertainty of the housing market and went through multiple contractors for quotes during this time. It wasn’t until we discovered Thomas Construction that we finally felt confident enough to jump into such a big decision. Michael made the process so easy for us, from start to finish. He went in depth to get us an accurate budget and goal and make the most out of our land and home design. The Thomas family and all of their crews were extremely professional, friendly, responsive just all around excellent to work with and be around! We received our dream home and will be calling Michael for any future projects. We couldn’t recommend Thomas Construction more for any project big or small!
