Thompson Builders has been building and renovating homes on Massachusetts's South Shore since 1972, working out of Hingham on additions, kitchens, bathrooms, historic restorations, and new construction, plus fire, flood and storm damage repair. Its written history is a decade old at this point, but the older reviews are specific and consistently positive. In a 2014 Thumbtack review, a homeowner said Mr. Thompson quoted an accurate price to replace a bulkhead door and install railroad-tie landscaping, finishing in days and leaving the site clean. In a 2016 review, another described the crew — a 'Jeff' running the job — dropping off materials for a custom platform bed and finishing it the next day, even sending an electrician out afterward to relocate a switch. A third, from 2015, recalled getting a callback within 30 minutes of requesting an estimate and a follow-up call after the job to confirm a roof leak had actually stopped. Across 36 Thumbtack ratings the company holds a 4.5-star average (86% five-star) and has been named a Thumbtack Top Pro in both 2017 and 2018. One thing worth asking about directly: its BBB and Houzz profiles say the company has been operating for 54 years, while its Thumbtack page states 45 — worth a quick clarifying question before booking, since it isn't clear which reflects how the company is run today. For a historic renovation, addition, or general remodeling job on the South Shore, this is a company with a long paper trail and an A+ BBB rating, though it isn't BBB-accredited; just confirm current pricing and scheduling, since the written reviews on file predate 2017.

Jeff was awesome. We had a platform bed made to fit a tiny room and he did it perfectly. He dropped off the materials and finished it the next day. He even sent his electrician over a few days later to move the electrical to a more convenient location. Super friendly, good to work with.
Jeff and his crew are extremely professional and talented! They can do anything! Excellent carpentry! When they say they will be there they come you here from him everyday about the progress. I highly recommend them if you want your job done right and timely. Was reasonably priced as well. Came in lower than other bidders. Would use again and have recommended them to all my family and friends!
Jeff called me within 30 minutes of posting my request to give me an estimate and set up an appointment. Despite being overwhelmed with work (clearing ice dams) he kept me informed along the way so that I knew when he would arrive. After completing the work he actually contacted me to make sure the leaking had stopped.
Mr. Thompson provided an accurate and reasonable quote for the requested work, which was to replace a bulkhead door and install some landscaping railroad ties. The work was done in a matter of days and the site was left clean and free of debris. I am very satisfied with Mr. Thompson's work and have recommended him to friends and family.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Thompson and his crew who completed finished carpentry work in my historic home in Charlestown, MA. He began and completed the work as promised. Jeff has demonstrated his experience and skill level in his field. He set the bar high for all carpenters. I would definitely consider him for future projects. Thank you, Jeff.
