Sometimes, people judge a house by its cover, often never knowing what’s actually behind the walls. When you enter a Thompson built home, certainly you will notice the elegant interiors and unsurpassed finishing, but the quality doesn’t end there. The very same attention goes into ALL of the details: the architectural design, the site plan, the foundation, the materials selection, the construction techniques, etc., throughout the entire process. This ensures not only that your home is beautiful, but that the quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. With three generations of home building experience, Thompson Homes knows that cutting corners never pays in the long run. Thompson Homes is proud to be known as a high quality Home Builder in Atlanta, and plans to be in business for generations to come. Here are a few of the reasons Thompson Homes has acquired a reputation for Quality & Craftsmanship ü Team of Experts: A collaborative effort with Architects and Home Designers ensures the final home will have the curb appeal our customers love and the function and quality that we insist upon. ü Interesting Architecture: In addition to making sure each home is structurally sound, Thompson Homes goes the extra step to provide exterior and interior architectural details that make the home interesting and pleasing to the eye, without going over the top. We call it…Refined Elegance. ü Engineering Accuracy: Every home is sited for placement and elevation by certified Engineers. In addition to the required code inspections by local authorities, Thompson Homes employs Engineers to inspect each home at critical points during the construction process to ensure all phases are carried out correctly. ü Exact Foundation Placements: Surveyors mark footings with pins according to the Engineer’s site plan. After footings are poured, Surveyors return to mark/pin every corner and offset so that the poured foundation will be precise. ü Strong Foundations: Mechanical Pumping of all foundation pours using a high PSI mix assures maximum strength in the homes foundation and minimizes cold joints. Iron Rebar in the concrete provides added support. ü Waterproofing: Many builders “damp-proof” foundations with black tar. Thompson Homes uses a non-toxic rubberized compound to “water-proof” rather than damp proof. In addition, Thompson Homes uses a unique and durable drainage system that leads potential moisture away from the home’s foundation. This system is stronger and less likely to collapse underground compared to the typical 4” round plastic drainage pipes used by many builders. ü Strong Silent Floor Systems: Ever walk through a home and hear the floor squeak or feel it creak? Not in a Thompson Home! Silent Floor® TrusJoist systems and ¾ inch tongue and groove Advantech® subfloor decking (secured using screws <not nails!> then glued) guarantees a long lasting no-squeak floor. Interior real-hardwood floors with at least three-inch wide planks receive a minimum of THREE coats of finish. ü Solid and Plum Exterior Walls: All exterior walls are sheathed with OSB board, rather than blackboard or Styrofoam sheathing. Thompson Homes uses only quality grade lumber. ü Quality & Attractive Roof Systems: Thompson Homes uses a variety of roofing materials dependant upon the Customer’s wishes and the style of the home. We strive to use the highest quality material regardless of the style. Thompson Homes generally use at least a 25-year Shingle. ü Superior Plumbing and Fixtures: All hot and cold water lines are copper. Name brand high-quality Faucets and Fixtures are chosen for Sinks, Tubs and Showers. Only high quality Tubs and Toilets are installed. Hot Water Circulating Systems are not uncommon. Most homes have two water heaters. ü Energy Efficiency: High efficiency energy saving HVAC systems specifically designed and placed for each home’s individual floor plan and sun/shade exposure ü Cellulose Insulation: Compared to the commonly used paper-batted fiberglass insulation, cellulose is 26-38% more efficient at insulating your home. In addition to cellulose’s known noise reducing qualities, many studies have shown cellulose insulation to be healthier and more fire retardant than fiberglass insulation.

No two cabinet designs are alike. ü Granite, Stone, Tile & Ceramics: Our Designers select only the highest quality stone, tile and ceramics for our floors and counters, then determine the most appealing pattern for installation. Granite is the most commonly used kitchen counter surface, and marble or travertine in bathrooms. ü Quality Appliances: Name brands such as Wolf, Subzero, Viking, Bosch and Vent-a- Hood are typical installations in Thompson Homes. ü Beautiful & Functional Lighting Fixtures: Each Home has its own unique Lighting Plan. Certified Lighting Consultants choose Chandeliers and other Lighting Fixtures that compliment the style and scale of each home while providing functional and comfortable lighting for the family who will live there. ü Professional Landscaping: Professional Landscape Designers Determine the best location and the most appropriate plant species based on soil, light and moisture conditions to assure each home a beautiful and long-lasting landscape. In Ground Sprinkler & Irrigation Systems, Decorative Walks, Drives and Patios are the norm in a Thompson Home. ü Extra Touches: Depending on the style of the home, you may see Bull-Nosed Edges, Extra Thick Walls, Italian Stone Fireplaces, Faux Painting, Copper Gas Lanterns, Copper Cupolas and Spires, Porch Swings, Water Fountains, Stone and Brick Patios, Iron Turnbuckles
