Eric and his staff were creative and extremely helpful in suggesting how to resolve our problems with this project. **★★★★★ — Alison, Dec. 2024** > We partnered with Eric (Sensitive Information Hidden) and Thorson Restoration to build our new home in Plymouth and we couldn’t be happier. What could have been an overwhelming process was made so much easier by Eric and his team’s professionalism, knowledge and willingness to help us work through the details of our build to create a home that we love living in. The entire build was extremely organized and completed on time We’ve been in our house for a year now and we’re constantly commenting on how well it was made, the attention to detail is outstanding. Our interactions with the Thorson crew and office staff were always very positive and their willingness to help us problem solve when aspects of the house weren’t working as we had thought they would was so helpful. We especially loved working with Jill Muldoon, Blue Harbor Kitchens, who had fabulous ideas and suggestions whenever we were overwhelmed with decision fatigue. We would definitely recommend Eric and Thorson Restoration and truly appreciate all of the work that Eric, Stacy and the whole crew put into creating our home. **★★★★★ — laurarichards2559, Nov. 2024** > We are delighted with our new home… > ” We had a great experience with Thorson Restoration & Construction, and we recommend them highly. Eric and his team were extremely helpful in the design and reconstruction of our family lakefront home, providing many helpful suggestions and completing high quality work efficiently and on time. His crew is very skilled, highly professional, and easy to work with. Our experience with the house construction was in fact so favorable, we opted to do another major renovation to our garage the following year. Eric demonstrated great knowledge as a craftsman, understood our needs very well and communicated effectively throughout the process. We worked with Eric and his team for over two years and were thoroughly impressed with their ability to solve problems, offer creative solutions, and execute all tasks effectively as promised. His subcontractors, back office staff and billing (aka wife Stacy) were a pleasure to work with throughout. We are delighted with our new house and garage and forever thankful to Eric and team for making that all possible! > > Scott & Laura **★★★★★ — Jim DiGiorgio, Aug. 2024** > We selected Thorson Restoration & Construction to build our custom home in Plymouth, MA after considering five other firms in the area. Our architect spoke highly of and recommended Thorson. The scope of our project included everything from demolishing the existing dwelling, clearing and excavating the lot to installing kitchen cabinets and light fixtures. Throughout the year-long construction process, Eric provided invaluable guidance and suggestions on building materials, trim selection and the optimum materials for minimal maintenance and long-term quality. The oversight by Thorson’s team during the entire build process combined with the skill and experience of their employees and sub-contractors resulted in first-class results. Overseeing the building process long-distance via the Buildertrend app was convenient and the photographs have provided great reference for future projects. The office staff was professional - yet personable in all dealings and masters at managing the scheduling of building materials and trades people. Our decision to select Blue Harbor for our kitchen and pantry cabinets was effortless as the cabinets were of high quality and Jill was always helpful and responsive. We highly recommend considering Thorson Restoration & Construction for your project! **★★★★★ — HU-775635385, Sept. 2021** > We contracted to put an addition (master Bed and Bath) and farmers porch on our home. We were recommended to Thorson Restoration by a friend. To say the least, we owe this friend dearly. We could not be MORE PLEASED with Eric Thorson and his entire team for creating a show piece for us. We could not be more happy by not only the FINAL product but the entire process. Eric's professionalism and diligence from day 1 made this project go to PLAN, perfectly. The attention to detail and quality, was second to NONE. We know, we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thorson Restoration and know, anyone hiring them will have a great experience and end up with a HIGH QUALITY end product. Eric, Thank you and your team for a first class experience and result. We appreciate it. **★★★★★ — Lauren L., June 2021** > Eric and his crew did an amazing job helping us renovate the exterior of our 1978 colonial. From the initial meeting to installation of last details, his team exceeded our expectations. We were impressed by not only the quality of their work but also how professional, thorough and respectful the crew was of our home and schedules. It was evident that they take pride in their work, as no detail was too small. They took our vision and helped us to create a beautiful home for our family! We recommend the Thorson team without hesitation for any projects and look forward to using them in the future. **★★★★★ — Rachel, Jan. 2021** > We couldn't be happier with the new addition to and renovation of our 1835 home. Eric and his team are expert craftsmen, and we truly enjoyed working with them throughout every stage of our major project. Beyond the house, they also restored and repaired our antique outbuildings. We absolutely love all the work Eric and his team did, and our whole property is now perfect for our family. **★★★★★ — A Joyce, June 2020** > Eric Thorson and team built our dream home. When we purchased our Hingham home, we fell in love with the location of our house, but we knew the footprint of our home – a 1960s split level – needed a major overhaul. Eric and his team immediately stood out in interview process. Eric spent a lot of time in our first meeting reviewing our existing footprint to troubleshoot any unknown, potential issues in advance of breaking ground. Thorson gave us the most thorough project proposal we had ever seen. Because our proposal was so thorough, there were no surprises from a budget perspective. We doubled the size of our footprint from 1,650 SQFT to 2,950 SQFT. Our project included the addition with a two-car garage, master suite with master bath, new kitchen, powder room, dining room, living room area and new deck. Every member of Thorson's team is a true professional and takes pride in their work. The communication, transparency and client service we received from Thorson was extraordinary. **★★★★★ — Nicole Bellows, March 2020** > The Thorson team did an A+ renovation/remodel on our home 4 years ago, so we did not hesitate to contact them when a recent leak (NOT related in any way to their previous work) impacted multiple areas in our home, including our master bath and bedroom. This was challenging because we were in a hurry to make repairs, and needed nearly every trade involved. We needed honest and reliable advice in a pinch, and knew that Eric would know exactly what to do, and that he would make sure every step would be done properly. He kindly accommodated us despite a busy workload, and moved the project along as quickly as he could. His team is excellent, and they handled every aspect of our project with care and attention to detail. This was another A+ experience with Thorson. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! **★★★★★ — George & Joyce Pelletier, Sept. 2019** > We were very pleased working with Eric Thorson and his entire professional group. His team of carpenters and painters were experts in their fields caring to keep our home in tact and protected while they worked. We are quite satisfied with the outcome of this project. Thorson advised the schedule and met all deadlines as discussed. **★★★★★ — K&V Sibley, Sept. 2019** > We contracted with Thorson for a whole house project that included resupporting and residing a historic 1816 2-story Greek Revival main house, gutting and rearranging the interior of an 1876 old addition, adding a new 2-story extension to the house for family room and master bedroom suite, and building covered porches/patios to knit the exterior together. Our vision was to preserve the character of the old house throughout the changes, maintaining the extensive wood detailing and built-ins and exterior Greek corners and gables, while bringing the house systems, bathrooms, and finishes up to the latest efficiency standards and technology. Thorson embraced this goal completely and executed a high quality restoration/renovation with exact matches of all of the new woodwork to the old and custom building cabinetry and porch columns to suit. Materials recommended and subcontractors selected all maintained the qualify standard set by Thorson. It was a pleasure working with Eric and his talented crews. We are enjoying the final product immensely and expect it to last for the next century. **★★★★★ — Frank Tenore, Aug. 2019** > We contracted with Thorson to replace 21 casement windows and all doors. The quality of workmanship and on-time performance exceeded our expectations. Every person we interfaced with was pleasant and knowledgeable. ## Selected projects - [Beach Ave New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-ave-new-home-pj-vj~7811058) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 73 - [Beachfield New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beachfield-new-home-pj-vj~7800789) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [Gunning Point New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gunning-point-new-home-pj-vj~7543693) - Location: Plymouth, MA - Photos: 40 - [Haven Road Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/haven-road-addition-pj-vj~7535597) - Location: Plymouth, MA - Photos: 16 - [Manomet New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manomet-new-home-pj-vj~7045882) - Location: Plymouth, MA - Photos: 57 - Description: Manomet New Home has come to a completion and the final details are worth every view.

Looks great. A: SBC Shingles pre-dipped with Monterey Grey weathering stain **Q: Will these shingles fade?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the look of this exterior. We will be building a house soon and we are considering the Shaker shingles for part of the exterior of the house. Will these shingles change color? or fade? Is there such a thing as non-fading shingle? A: They do change color but the above photo is a couple of years after installation -original color is lighter and more of a reddish yellow -this is red cedar, white cedar weathers differently and other shingles can be pre-dipped or stained to maintain a specific color -these are natural, reference a similar question with an earlier photo of the shingles: \[https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-type-and-color-is-the-shingle-on-the-house-and-does-it-weather-or-remain-that-same-color-thanks-dsvw-vd~518648\[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-type-and-color-is-the-shingle-on-the-house-and-does-it-weather-or-remain-that-same-color-thanks-dsvw-vd~518648) Below is a more recent photo from our website of this house from last year (10 years after original installation): https://thorsonrestoration.com/portfolio/plymouth-summer-retreat/\#&gid=1&pid=1 **Q: can you share color of cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you share cabinet color?
