Every Monday we feature one of our Chamber Members and shine a little spotlight on them. This week’s Member Feature is Thomas Construction. Read the following Q&A to learn a little more about this local business!
Please provide a short description of your business and what you do.
Thomas Construction is a general contractor specializing in site excavation, highway bridges, commercial construction, water and waste water treatment plants.
What is the story behind your business or how it got started?
Doug Thomas started the business in 1974 doing home remodeling and it has grown from there. Today we employ between 50 and 90 people depending on the time of the year.
What is the service that you provide that customers use the most?
Our customers benefit from the experience we acquired from a vast variety of projects over the past 45 years.
When is your busiest time / season?
March through December. A lot of our work is weather dependent which makes work more sporadic in the winter months.
What is something people would be surprised to know about your business?
Although we started out remodeling and then building homes, we no longer do residential home construction or remodeling.
Can you tell us about a memorable or favorite customer experience?
Several years ago we completed an outpatient surgical center in Hermitage. The doctor was so pleased with the outcome, we were invited to be part of a family celebration to commemorate the opening.
How has COVID-19 affected your business?
The mandated construction shutdown earlier this year was difficult. We now have job specific COVID-19 safety plans to insure the safety of our employees to the best of our ability.
How can the community support you now and going forward?
Keep growing! Our work is based on renovating existing community infrastructure and buildings as well as constructing new facilities. Growth makes this all possible so we can provide secure employment for our employees and bring on new employees.
