Thorson Restoration & Construction

We enthusiastically recommend the Thorson Restoration team to anyone contemplating home construction, reconstruction or renovation. We contracted them to modernize and renovate a circa 1900 lakeside farmhouse campus – house, barn, carriage house and more – all in need of a lot of TLC. We began with the main house, cutting off some old, uninspiring rooms and adding back a new wing, with garage and several bedrooms & bathrooms, all while executing a full renovation of all the core living areas of the house. Finished in 2018, the results are spectacular, even though the challenges were not always straightforward. As walls were opened up, we encountered curious building practices from decades of previous alterations. Nevertheless, Eric and his crews took everything in stride, proceeding with care and confidence from one challenge to the next. Every single person who set foot on our property, whether from Eric’s own team or from contractor’s teams, was professional, competent, courteous, and extremely respectful of the property and us, its owners. Overseeing it all, Eric brought craftsmanship and attention to detail that always met or exceeded our expectations, as well as an uncanny ability to realize our visions while honoring the original charm and character of the house. All this was combined with transparency, adaptability and real-time responsiveness to our every inquiry. We are now looking forward to proceeding with Eric on the rest of the campus.

Excellent quality and thoughtful advice. I also recommend their custom builds whenever trying to do something a little different with a room

We have hired Thorson Restoration a few times over the last fifteen years to do everything from a bathroom remodel to a whole house remodel. They are consistently professional and thorough, and the quality of their work is outstanding. They are easy to work with and get the job done to your specifications. We have recommended them to others, and would hire them again.

We selected Thorson Restoration to renovate our summer cottage of 10 years into our eventual year round home based on strong recommendations and their beautiful portfolio of previously renovated projects. Just as we were signing the contract in February 2018, we purchased a small guest house across the street and asked if they could do some cosmetic work there before the summer. Even with a full schedule of renovations underway, they agreed to the work which increased from cosmetic to a kitchen and bath re-do. Thorson handled the change in project scope with grace and gave our less than 1,000 sf project the same thoroughness and detail they give their million dollar homes. Eric and his staff are always willing to take the time to explain the pros and cons of a particular material or construction technique. The project was in fact completed in time for plenty of summer fun. We are just as thrilled with Thorson’s work on our main house renovation which is currently underway. We recommend them highly and will continue to use them for any future projects.

We renovated an entire mid-century modern home which is not a typical job for Thorson Restoration. Throughout the process there was excellent customer service and amazing work! The crew was on site when they said they would be and professional. Eric was available throughout the process and kept us informed along the way.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our work with Eric and his team. We've engaged Thorson for several projects on our 1840s farmhouse. We could not be happier with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the entire team. The Thorson team are always courteous and unlike other contractors we've worked with they actually answer the phone and come back to solve issues -- even months after the job was done. I look forward to bigger projects with Thorson.

We hired Thorson Restoration to redo 2 bathrooms in our house. The project was all high end materials. Since we moved out of our home for three months to complete the job, we also asked them to do some other work around the house. We are now in month 14 of a 3 month project. The Thorson team did very sloppy work and they did not know how to install high end materials. Their tile installer ruined very expensive tile that we selected. Many of the tiles in a steam shower cracked and we have been trying to get them to fix the shower for over 2 months. All we get are excuses and attempts to blame the problems on other people including the tile vendor and the project architect. There have been many other problems with the project including a failure to properly drain the shower which took them over four months to resolve. I would never hire them again to do a project. I have no idea when this project will get completed because they no longer answer my e-mails.

We hired Eric and his team to relocate our master bedroom over our garage, reframe our main roof line and reconfigure our second floor. Our project had many moving pieces and involved all the systems as well as significant structural work. Eric and his team orchestrated the project on time and on budget. We couldn't have been happier with the work that was completed as well as the through communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend the Thorson team for any project as their integrity and hard work separates them from others.

We hired Thorson to redo our recently purchased water front home in Duxbury. We demolished half of the house, rebuilt, and completely redid the existing portion. Eric and his team were involved from pre purchase, to design meetings with the architect, to final completion. Their attention to detail and communication through this entire project truly exceeded our expectations. We had a vision for what we wanted the finished project to look like, and Eric and his team made it happen! Eric's team and sub contractors were all extremely professional and our family enjoyed our frequent visits to the project. The overall project stayed on track and finished ahead of schedule!. We have used Thorson in the past (finished basement in other home) and worked with them to create our dream home. The professionalism, craftmanship, attention to detail, and consistent communication is remarkable. I would highly recommend hiring Team Thorson for your next project, we trusted them with our new home and enjoyed a smooth process and are extremely pleased with the outcome.

We did a whole house remodel with Thorson and both the results and the experience of working with this company was beyond exceptional. Between the outstanding quality craftsmanship and the time-saving and responsive project management, we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend.

Eric and his crew are exceptional. We recommend them without hesitation. We recently did a whole house remodel, and the project stayed on time, and on budget. We were able to keep apprised of progress through an online portal, which was a wonderful, and unexpected, feature. Eric is attentive, and quick to respond. The workmanship was beautiful. It was evident from the start that his ultimate goal was to have a satisfied customer.

Thorson renovated our kitchen, and we could not be happier.. They are highly professional, have great ideas, and 100 percent on time/ on budget. They provide a calendar of all the work that is planned, and keep on track to the calendar. We were very happy that we chose Thorson, and highly recommend them. We will also only ask them to work on other house projects that we have planned..
