Thor Construction

Thor Construction is a custom design-build general contractor based at 1532 US-6 in Wellfleet, MA, serving the Lower Cape towns of Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. The company is owner-operated by Thor Baum, who founded it and has spent over 18 years building it into a full-service outfit handling new custom homes, additions, decks and renovations; Lance LaLone joined as Vice President in 2020. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#170653) is verified active with the state registry, held by Thor Baum. Permit records show 22 completed projects on file, and the firm is listed in the Wellfleet Chamber of Commerce business directory. Recent Google reviewers describe a responsive process during the sales stage - quick to return calls, clear about estimates, and communicative about scheduling once a project manager is assigned. The written record is thin and mixed. Three recent five-star Google reviews are largely brief, while one older, more detailed review is sharply negative: in 2018, a homeowner described hiring the company, also referred to in the same review as "Thor Contracting," to replace a roof in Eastham, said the roof subsequently failed and caused over $40,000 in water damage, and said the company was unresponsive to repeated requests for satisfaction. Anyone considering Thor Construction for a project should ask directly about that 2018 roof complaint and how the company now handles post-installation issues, and should ask for current references given how few written reviews exist overall. The registry-verified license and 18-year local track record are real positives to weigh against that one serious, dated complaint.
