Thompson Builders has worked on the South Shore since 1972, and its specialty shows up in nearly everything it's known for: matching new work seamlessly into old houses. Based in Hingham and run under company president Robert Thompson, the company describes itself as a residential builder handling new construction, additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and full renovations, with a particular focus on historic restoration for homes on the South Shore and Martha's Vineyard. On Thumbtack, the company holds a 4.5-star average across 36 ratings, and the five written reviews on file (2014-2016) describe fast callbacks and tidy work: one homeowner said a request for an estimate got a callback within 30 minutes even while the crew was busy clearing ice dams, and a bulkhead-door replacement was praised for leaving the site clean and free of debris. Houzz lists 14 project photos of renovation and historic-restoration work across the South Shore and Martha's Vineyard. Worth knowing before calling: the Thumbtack reviews and that platform's background-check credential all name Jeff Thompson, not Robert Thompson, the president BBB lists for the company — it's unclear from what's public whether this is a family member handling smaller carpentry jobs under the same company name or a separate operation, so it's worth confirming directly who would be assigned to your project. For a straightforward renovation or an addition in a period home, the long track record and specific praise for communication and cleanup make this a reasonable call — just confirm who's doing the work and get that in writing.

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.
