because we're all about you.

The History, the Values, the Effect

Creating a home is all about understanding a client’s vision and delivering the exceptional customer service that’s so vital to fulfilling every inch of it.” ~Les Thorpe, owner

The foundation (a prelude)

It’s hard to rein in an energetic kid with a fascination for architecture, problem-solving and every precise detail of producing a building. Steer him toward the professional trades and unleash him among masons, framers, carpenters and others in a world of skilled and respected mentors and masters, and everyone wins. The wisdom and experience to be gained can hardly be measured, except in the artistry, quality and custom-wow livability of the homes, additions and remodels to result over decades to come.

There’s no acceptable substitute for depth of knowledge, skill, precision and integrity. But why stop there? Les Thorpe didn’t.

The pillars

While mastering skills and ingenuity on the job for construction companies of all sizes, Les heeded an innate penchant for big-picture leadership, acquiring invaluable training and expertise in project budgeting, scheduling and management. He recognized quality workmanship when he saw it, and he firmed up solid relationships with some of the best, most reliable tradespeople and subcontractors in the region.

With his inherent love of building and drive for perfection thus refined, directed and in demand, Les had reached the top of a most formative ladder. The next step affirmed logic.

The structure

1983 ushered a natural — and highly anticipated -- progression with the formation of Thorpe Construction and Management Company. Les’ solid reputation for excellence grew by word of mouth, the form of advertising his discerning clients took most to heart, and has sustained for decades as Thorpe integrated design expertise, lead-safe certification and other specialties for a well-rounded, full-service custom design,  build and remodel firm, now known simply as Thorpe Construction Company.

The beauty

No doubt, Les Thorpe is all about finesse in quality custom home design, building and renovation. The evidence lives within the homes, hearts and referrals of happy clients throughout Hampton Roads. Just request to contact some.
But even the definitions of beauty, comfort and functionality can differ from one person to another and change with life’s many stages. Fulfilling the potential of these attributes for all who enter or reside within a home, regardless of their size, age, mobility and ability, takes the kind of forethought and knowledge that Les brings to the table as a National Association of the Remodeling Industry Universal Design Certified Professional. Simply put: Quality design, beauty and livability are respectfully and discreetly enhanced for all, without sacrifice to any.
"Creating a home is all about understanding a client's vision and delivering the exceptional customer service that's so vital to fulfilling every inch of it," Les Thorpe explains. Perhaps this mindset is why so many of his clients are repeat customers.
