We specialize in maintenance, capital projects, outages, turnarounds, and new construction. With a labor pool of over 10,000 highly skilled craftsmen, we stand ready to dispatch our full-service teams nationwide.
J.T. Thorpe & Son, Inc. was founded in 1906 in San Francisco, CA, to help repair the devastation brought forth by the Great San Francisco Earthquake. In 1908, we built our first industrial furnace at Standard Oil (Richmond, CA). Today, JT THORPE is one of the largest specialty contractors in the United States.
Our hard-earned reputation fuels our success: we strive to create solid and lasting relationships with every client. We’re proud that our work consistently exceeds customer expectations, and we’re honored that over 75% of our business stems from referrals and repeat clients.
With over 100 years of experience, clients entrust us with their projects because we operate with a singular mission: no matter the magnitude, deadline, or complexity of a job, we’ll get it done. We’ll get it done correctly, efficiently, and safely.
