Thornton Construction Co

Thornton Construction Co. recognizes that, as the center of family life, a new home is more than just a building – it is a place where experiences, traditions, and dreams are born. The professionals at Thornton Construction Co. are not home builders, they build communities, lifestyles, and dreams. The company’s primary objective is to build a future for its clients by building a home to live for.

After nearly three decades in commercial construction, this family-owned and operated firm changed direction in 1988 to bring its construction expertise to the residential home building market. Since then the company has built more than 3,000 custom homes. In the last decade alone, Thornton Construction Co has been recognized with many awards from the Parade of Homes, the National Association of Home Builders Institute of Residential Marketing, and Builder Magazine. In 2004 Thornton Construction Co. was the featured business in Forbes Magazine’s Outlook Alabama: Business Profile segment.

Today, the 3rd and 4th generation of the Thornton family of construction experts, the father and son team of Jim and Christopher Thornton, oversee every aspect of this successful family construction business with the same honest, hands-on approach that has sustained the company for more than 60 years. From the layout of home sites to the selection of the latest finishes and products, each decision the Thornton Construction Co. team makes is made to preserve the environment and create the most natural and authentic custom homes available in the region.
