We have done several large scale projects with Thompson Construction and can't recommend them enough. The attention to detail is unmatched. Making sure the client gets exactly what they want is a top priority. We cannot wait to do more work with Dorian in the future. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you so much for your feedback Ashley! It is always a pleasure working with you and your sharp eye for detail and beautiful design. Looking forward to many more projects together! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Alexis Walsko, March 2023** > I cannot recommend Dorian and his team at Thompson Construction more highly. Dorian was always available to answer any questions before, during and after the remodel. The final product was completed on time, on budget and exceeded my expectations! **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you Alexis for the feedback on your project! Glad you love it! **★★★★★ — HU-219137164, Nov. 2022** > Dorian Thompson was amazing to work with on our window replacement project. > Would absolutely recommend Thompson Construction to anyone looking to build or remodel their home. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you! Your kind words mean a lot! I hope you enjoy your new windows for many years to come! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Maggie Stewart, July 2020** > Dorian and his team completed a main floor renovation for us, which included a new open concept kitchen, living and dining space, and a new master suite complete with an office. We originally thought we needed an addition to achieve what we were looking for, but Dorian's suggestion to move our stairs to the lower level allowed us to open up our main floor without needing additional square footage. The result has been incredible. This new layout brought our family an immediate enhancement on our quality of life. > > Dorian knew it was important for our budget to be able to live through the renovation (in the lower level), and was here each night making sure the space was cleaned up as much as could be for the safety of ourselves and our young children. We really appreciated his attentiveness to those types of details and his commitment to making this project something that really worked for our family. > > We look forward to working with his team when we are ready to do our lower level! **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you Maggie! When I first met with you and Jeremy I could feel your frustration with the cramped galley kitchen and all the other not-so-functional spaces in your home. Despite how much you loved your neighborhood you even mentioned thinking about selling! Yikes! I am so happy to hear how the new spaces are meeting your needs. Our goal for all the remodels & new builds we do is to have you truly love your home. We hope for that to ring true for you for many years to come. Enjoy!! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Sandra Vanderwall, April 2020** > Thompson Construction did a remodel on our basement, rebuilt the deck, and replaced windows on the main floor. We were very pleased with the results and with the quality workmanship. In each case Dorian was extremely patient and helpful in choosing materials and designs. He was considerate in working within our budget. I would definitely recommend them. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thanks Sandy! As always, it's been great working with you on all the projects over the years!! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Jocey Mathern, April 2020** > We worked with Thompson Construction on a major remodel of our main level, which included a kitchen and bathroom. During the planning process, we found Dorian’s guidance and attention to detail very helpful. Before construction started, we knew exactly what to expect and what the budget and timeline would be. > Living in your home during a remodel is a challenge but we felt taken care of. During construction, Dorian was great about communicating what time people would arrive to start work on the house. The team was considerate of our space even if that meant staying late to clean up dust and keep as much order as possible. > They finished on-time, on budget and we are thrilled with the quality of our new kitchen and bathroom! We’re so grateful to have found such a great contractor and would definitely work with Dorian and his team again. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you so much for your feedback Jocey! Tearing apart and putting back together all the most important parts of your home is really a challenging process! You guys were so great to work with and made it a really fun project for us! Enjoy your new spaces!! -Dorian **★★★★★ — HU-891189675, April 2020** > Thompson Construction finished our basement. They were professional and kept a clean workspace. They were respectful of our space and time. The project was even done early, truly exceeding our expectations. We love our new space!

We loved the appreciation that you showed of our work as the project progressed. Enjoy the new breezeway, bathroom, and covered porch addition!!! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Renee Pellinger, Dec. 2018** > Thompson Construction just finished a kitchen, mudroom and laundry room remodel for our family and have absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the first day we met to talk about ideas, Thompson Construction and team proved to be extremely knowledgeable and through. They worked very closely with us to give us the remodel we were looking for in exactly the budget we wanted to spend. Once construction started, the team communicated with us daily and we always knew what was coming and when. They were at the house every day, including weekends, to ensure they adhered to the schedule they had put together. They not only finished our project on budget (not one change request) but also a week early. They honestly thought through every single detail of the remodel, which in the end created an amazing finished product. .I have never had a better experience working with a construction company and will never work with anyone but Thompson Construction going forward. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > You are the best Renee! It was a true pleasure working with you and your family! -Dorian **★★★★★ — Shannon Bruce, March 2018** > We’ve had Thompson Construction do countless projects from remodels to water damage restoration and everything in between. They are skilled, meticulous, trustworthy professionals that will do it right, on time, and for the cost they told you. They are always the first ones we call because we know we’ll get quality work at competitive rates. We recommend them highly and without reservation. **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thank you so much for your kind words Shannon! It is customers like you who keep us loving what we do!! **★★★★★ — Karla Edin, Jan. 2018** > Thompson Construction recently completed a remodel of two bathrooms in our home. They provided an accurate cost estimate and timeline for the project, provided great suggestions and advice, communicated clearly and often throughout the process, answered questions quickly and thoroughly, and made sure every last detail was absolutely perfect. We had a great experience and are thrilled with our new spaces! **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > Thanks Karla & Rick for the feedback!! Oh, and did I mention that you guys were totally amazing to work for?!! :-) > -Dorian **★★★★★ — Nan Sloan, Aug. 2017** > Thompson Construction recently completed a front portico, added new windows and resided our entire home. I could not be happier with the quality of the workmanship, the daily communication and clean up and the detail oriented follow through until the end of the project. I would highly recommend Dorian and his team! **Comment from Thompson Construction:** > We had nothing but smiles after finishing up your project!! You are A++ to work for Nan!! -Dorian ## Selected projects - [Shorewood Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shorewood-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7779273) - Location: Shorewood, MN - Photos: 9 - [Lake Minnetonka Custom Home Holiday](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-minnetonka-custom-home-holiday-pj-vj~7625241) - Location: Mound, MN - Photos: 64 - [Lake Minnetonka Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-minnetonka-custom-home-pj-vj~7477670) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 92 - [Hadley Hills Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hadley-hills-residence-pj-vj~6621952) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 49 - Description: Thompson Construction, Builder \| Martha O'Hara Interiors, Interior Design & Photo Styling \| Spacecrafting, Photography Kitchen cabinet paint color is Sherwin-Williams - SW 7008 Alabaster Kitchen wall color is Benjamin Moore - Blue Veil 875 Kitchen countertop & backsplash color is MSI Quartz - Calacatta Valentin Mudroom cabinet color is Sherwin-Williams - SW 7672 Knitting Needles - [Wayzata Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wayzata-ranch-pj-vj~7563899) - Location: Wayzata, MN - Photos: 48 - [Wayzata Mid-Century Modern Whole Home Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wayzata-mid-century-modern-whole-home-restoration-pj-vj~6854901) - Location: Wayzata, MN - Photos: 72 - Description: Interior Design by Novella Design House. novelladesignhouse.com.
