A Wellspring of Creativity
John Thorpe is a craftsman with an artist's soul. He has dedicated himself to quality work, and refuses to be satisfied with a job until it has met his high standards. Unusually, he is also a wellspring of creativity, with the rare skill not only to come up with graceful solutions to problems, but to add polish and beauty to his clients' homes.

Great Sense of Aesthetic
“I have depended on John Thorpe and his skilled and talented hands since I moved to my Arts and Crafts-style home in Croton-on-Hudson seven years ago. Since certain aspects of our house are specialized, such as the cedar-shake roof and mahogany porch floor, I would trust no one other than John to maintain, refinish and reconstruct when needed. John is reliable, trustworthy and has an innate intuition for quality work in traditional practices of construction and creating. Yet, he is not simply traditional. He is innovative, avant garde and has a great sense of aesthetic, but he will also follow his client’s lead if preferred. While other contractors might be satisfied with short-cuts and delivering questionable quality, John is thorough, knowledgeable and committed to the highest quality product. He is both an imaginative artist and a practical carpenter. John Thorpe is a rare find.”
