About Kelly-Thomas
Experienced people, working toward the best practical solution.
Four decades of family-owned general contracting experience, with the personal touch that started it all.
Our story
Built on craftsmanship. Sustained by relationships.
Kelly-Thomas Inc. was founded in 1986 by two carpenters with a dream: to build a family-owned company that provided the Greater Seattle area with quality general contracting services while never losing the personal touch.
What began with two craftsmen and a shared vision has grown into a company with four decades of experience. Since 1986, Kelly-Thomas has successfully completed thousands of projects, both big and small, building lasting relationships with clients along the way.
Through the years, the company has grown and evolved, but the values it was founded on have remained the same. We believe in quality workmanship, honest communication, dependable service, and treating every project as if it were our own.
Today, Kelly-Thomas Inc. is proud to continue its tradition as a family-owned commercial general contractor serving the Greater Seattle area. From small improvements to large commercial projects, our goal is simple: understand our client's vision and make it a reality.
Big or small, we do them all.
How the work is protected
Quality and safety are operating disciplines.
Safety
Safety comes first in the work, protecting clients, subcontractors, employees, and the environments where construction takes place.
Communication
Clear coordination helps surface constraints, connect decisions to the schedule, and keep owners and project partners informed.
Sustainable construction
Use resources thoughtfully when it makes sense for the client.
Kelly-Thomas believes in the sustainability of the world’s resources and looks for practical opportunities to recycle or repurpose building materials. Demolition waste is recycled where possible to reduce the burden on landfills.
Common questions

Commercial and industrial tenant improvements ranging from small remodels to large, multi-floor interior projects, as well as mezzanines and industrial renovations.

How does Kelly-Thomas approach occupied or operational spaces?
