David Thorne - General Contractor - Los Angeles, California
David Thorne
I grew up in a house where we did things for ourselves. That’s how I learned. When I
was an infant the room I slept in had a panelled type ceiling. My father painted each
panel a different color to show me to the wonderment of the spectrum. I was introduced
at the age of 5 to the muscular benefits of hand rubbing a finish on an antique table.
Fascinated with mechanical systems, when I was 7 I proceeded to dismantle most of
the doorknobs throughout my grandparents house. They were so proud!. By 10 years
old I had the dubious distinction of being the only kid in my neighborhood to use a
circular saw. Home repairs led to side jobs with family, friends, and neighbors. From
graduating high school in 1983 I went into rental unit remodeling taking on side jobs
doing framing and carpentry while working as a server/bartender at night. Licensed in
1996 as a General Contractor, I initially performed, with a small crew, all foundation,
framing, finish carpentry, electrical, plumbing, roofing, drywall, and stucco/siding work.
I have since grown my business utilizing the tenents of quality, dependability, and
accountability. Throughout the years I have established relationships with professional,
licensed sub-contractors who respect and hold our clientele in the highest regard. As a
father I teach my children the benefits of an honest, hard days work. As a contractor I
insist on an honest, hard day’s work with uncompromising standards of fit and finish.
