“Undertaking a home renovation project is incredibly daunting. But, knowing you have the perfect blueprint to begin with, which puts your abstract ideas and even dreams on paper, is the first of many huge steps. Jeanette Thomson is the exact person to choose to to take that first, huge step.
My husband and I first met Jeanette when we moved to Hopkinton 2020. As first-time home owners of an early 1900s colonial that had a rather quirky layout, Jeanette provided the perfect counsel for us. She ensured we didn’t steer too far from the integrity and existing charm, all while taking the house in a practical and fresh-feeling direction. After initial meetings our designs grew into something we felt really excited by- but our family was also about to grow. That’s where we had to pause. Jeannette provided us with patience and space as our priorities changed.
Skip forward to 2024 with 1.75 children and the quirky layout previously mentioned growing increasingly impractical, we reconnected and picked up right where we had left off. The counsel Jeanette had provided previously was even more welcomed. As a parent herself, Jeanette was able to advise on what would be beneficial to our growing family all while in-keeping with the character of the home.
Jeanette listened, processed, had clear conversations about what was realistic for our budget. Never applying pressure; professional yet relaxed. Simply put, our experience with Jeanette could not have been better. Trust her advice and experience, there is a reason she is the best in the business. Our family will now have the perfect place to mature; welcome friends and extended family members and host parties for the entire lifetime of our household. None of which would have been possible without the visionary genius of Jeanette Thomson.”
“When you start out a project, you usually have an idea of what you want to accomplish – enlarge a kitchen, add an addition, create new purposeful space. Very often, you’re not sure how to arrange the space, change spaces, and add spaces that work together for what you want to accomplish. Also, you want to see how it looks in two and three dimensions, before you begin. That’s where Thomson Architects really helped us. Without them, we would not have gotten the best outcome.
Very often, new home construction or additions provide space but not much character or appeal. Whatever you’re doing, you want it to look good, inside and out – questions about style changes, functional changes, distinctiveness, and balance and proportion of all spaces. Thomson Architects provided answers to us for all those things, while being prompt with all appointments and commitments.”
“I want to pass a long a quick thanks for helping us remodel our house. We are THRILLED with the design – it makes me really appreciate what you do as an architect. We have gotten numerous compliments on how nice it looks, and how well proportioned and nicely it fits in with the original house. While we are not quite done, the space and sizing on the inside feel wonderful and we love the way it looks on the exterior.”
