**★★★★★ Outstanding remodel experience — beautiful work, honest process, and great people**
We hired Thompson Homes **Joe and Paige Van Elzen** for a complete home remodel shortly after purchasing our house, and then brought them back a few years later to finish the final two bathrooms. After two major projects with them, I can say without hesitation that they have my highest recommendation.
**Project #1 (started October 2021, after we purchased in April 2021):** This was a full-scale interior transformation. The scope included painting the entire interior, painting all trim, replacing flooring throughout, a full kitchen remodel, adding an island and a dry bar, installing a gas fireplace in the living room, removing walls in the basement, a complete master bathroom remodel with a much larger walk-in shower, updates that included the walk-in closet, and even adding a closet to my downstairs office. Beyond the “big ticket” items, Paige helped us make thoughtful design choices that made the finished home feel cohesive and original—like it was always meant to look this way. Details like a faux beam and other touches tied the original character to the new updates seamlessly.
**Project #2 (summer 2025):** They returned to remodel our final two bathrooms—the basement bathroom and the upstairs spare bathroom—so the entire home would feel complete and consistent with the rest of the design.
Throughout both projects, Paige was especially wonderful on the design side—helping us make choices that look timeless, consistent, and intentional. **Joe and Paige are incredibly easy to work with: responsive, transparent, honest, and straightforward.** Communication was clear, expectations were realistic, and we always felt informed. Both projects came in **right around the estimated price**, which says a lot about how they plan and manage work.
One of the best “proof points” for us: after the first remodel, our home was featured in the **Brown County Showcase of Homes (March 2022)** and we received excellent feedback from visitors touring the house.
We would absolutely use Joe and Paige again. They do excellent work—and just as important, they’re **down-to-earth, genuinely good people** who operate with integrity. If you want high-quality craftsmanship and a process you can trust, I strongly recommend them.

I cannot say enough about Thompson Homes and the experience of working with both Paige and Joe on our home remodel and addition. They were truly amazing!
Coming into this, I had no idea what to expect with a project of this scale, but we are absolutely ecstatic with the outcome. You went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I am so impressed by your professionalism, your caring and honest approach, and your incredible attention to fine details and perfection.
Thank you for everything you have done for our home.

How fortunate we were to work with Joe and Paige on the building of your new home. This was our first ever build of a new home and prior to the start of the process, it was very intimidating to us. The challenges were compounded in that our entire building project was done while we lived in another state. However, the trust and communication that we had and have together in them was there from day one and we always knew that our build would be done with our best interests in mind. We don't just refer to them as our builders but also as our friends. The entire crew including Scott and Hunter and the subcontractors showed to be quite the craftsmen and experts in the field and the finished product reflects that. It may be hard to believe, but we had very few surprises along the way which was a testament to their foresight and professionalism. We love our new home and love living in Algoma, all made possible by Thompson Homes!

We have had Thompson Homes renovate many areas of our home (starting with the kitchen and master bath) and were very pleased with all renovations, but what truly impressed us the most was how they helped us rebuild after a flood. With the help of Joe, Paige and the entire team, our basement is now the basement of our dreams. They listened carefully to everything we wanted and built it better than we could have asked. The team was always open and honest when they came across issues from the original build (25+ years ago), explained what needed to be done/our options, and made sure everything was right before moving on. Thompson Homes has truly helped us make this house our home and I look forward to working with them on future projects!

My wife and I recently built our new home with Thompson Homes and the entire process from design through construction went extremely smooth and was stress free. From day one, we felt like Joe and Paige were working with us, always with our best interests in mind. Paige listened to what we wanted in our home and made suggestions for things we had not considered. Once construction started Joe was on site daily working with his subcontractors ensuring everything was done correctly and above our expectations. If we had any questions, they were answered thoroughly and timely. We could talk to Joe or Paige at any time as they are very approachable. Throughout the process Joe and Paige stressed quality construction and we believe we received great value for the work by everyone involved in the construction. We highly recommend building or remodeling with Thompson Homes. They did an awesome job on our new house, and we couldn’t be happier.
