We chose Lathrop and their top-notch contractors to work with us to transform out tired, outdated 2200 square foot condo into a beautiful, functional, timelessly designed home where we can spend many years enjoying our family and friends. From our first meeting with Tom and Lynn the designer to the completion of our final punch list items we could not be more impressed and pleased with the outcome of our new home!

As an out-of-area, first-time owner in the Coachella Valley, finding a team that could handle the A to Z of my construction project was of paramount importance. I was lucky enough to find the team at Lathrop who expertly handled the project with the highest level of craftsmanship Design selections, architecture, furnishings, and after-completion support were all taken care of. The contracting business is cast with all sorts of characters and making the right selection will determine the success or failure of a project. I’m so lucky to have found a team that was the “right selection.”

Your construction services and your personal involvement have always surpassed my expectations. It’s rare when you find a builder that you can really trust with the most difficult projects. Your service on the Morningside Design Review Board was invaluable. Your ability to convey construction details and solutions to the board was excellent. Your construction projects were always completed within our strict time lines and done very professionally. It is always a pleasure working with you and your team.

When we decided to remodel our home in Thunderbird Heights, we had no idea what to expect, as this was our first experience of this nature. Tom’s intense involvement led to the project exceeding our greatest expectations in both beauty and function. As a result of our experience with Tom and his staff, we would, without any reservation whatsoever, recommend LathropDevelopment to anyone considering a remodel or construction of a new custom home.

- Jeff & Christel King


We would highly recommend using Lathrop Development & Construction to all homeowners desiring a quality remodeling experience. Tom, Lynn and his entire staff not only completed an unusually high quality job in our kitchen, family room and home office; but they finished the job on time an were a pleasure to work with. Our job took a total of only three months from start to finish. In addition, the job was completed within budget.

Lathrop Development & Construction came into the project after we fired another contractor and you had to pick up the pieces, figure out what had and had not been done and finish the job. The Lathrop team brought professionalism, cost control and common sense to the job and we are grateful.

In this day of companies trying to get ahead by doing less, yours is a rare exception. The newly constructed pool pavilion is a finished product much beyond my original expectations. From the very beginning design stages, through the actual build-out, to the finished details, your follow through and daily supervision created what is now an integral part of the residence, pool area and gardens.

The house is simply stunning. Much, if not all of the credit for how well the house finished out, belongs to Tom and the Lathrop Development team. Everyone who stepped onto that jobsite was there to do their best work and it shows in every respect. I’m still amazed by the quality of the finished work and attention to detail that went into the project. I think that’s the main reason the house turned out so well is because Lathrop Development & Construction consistently brought their skills, confidence and ability as a builder to the project and made easy work of what could have been an extremely challenging project. As an architect, I really appreciate that effort.

I have dealt with many contractors/developers for over 30 years and have never worked with a more ethical, dependable, conscientious or professional company such as Lathrop Development & Construction. I have no hesitation in recommending Lathrop Development & Construction for any project for which you may wish to hire them.
