Architectural Craftsmen is an award-winning team of designers and builders, dedicated to delivering craftsmanship that lasts and honoring your home’s architecture with livable style and modern functionality.
We understand the style language of your house, and our remodels highlight what’s special about it without taking away the history.
Joe Thompson grew up on a farm, building functional structures. After attending carpentry school, he attended architecture school at K-State, where he met his wife Mary, who was studying design. The first home they rehabbed together was built in 1910 in Baldwin City, KS, while Joe finished his college degree. Together, they continued remodeling family homes and found they were motivated to maintain the integrity of these older buildings.
Today, they remodel distinctive homes in established neighborhoods, giving them modern functionality, while remaining true to the soul of the house. Their passion for classic design styles is a compelling part of their business, as they choose historic homes with intention and attention to detail.
We are proud to have NARI Certified Professionals on our team. These certifications demonstrate we meet or exceed the highest industry standards and invest in continuing education.
Joe has been in the construction industry his whole life. He is an expert in architectural designs of all eras, including Tudor-style homes, Craftsman houses, and other architecture styles prior to the 1940s. Joe visits every Kansas City home remodeling jobsite in his iconic 1946 Chevy panel truck and upholds our philosophy of craftsmanship that lasts.
Co-founder of Architectural Craftsmen, Mary has satisfied all the requirements for designation as a Certified Remodeler (CR), Certified Remodeling Project Manager (CRPM), and a Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP). Mary provides architectural design services, creates as-built drawings, new design drawings, 3-D renderings, and more, so it’s easy to imagine what the finished space will look like.
Robert manages jobsite operations and is excellent at keeping the project on schedule and managing priorities. When challenges arise, trust Robert to find a solution. He’s also a highly skilled craftsman with trim carpentry, including stair, cabinet work, and other trim details.
Andrew grew up around home remodeling, shadowing Joe in the field starting in childhood, so he knows his way around a jobsite. After studying computer-aided design (CAD) in school, he joined Architectural Craftsmen to work on designs and drawings for client projects.
Mari brings a wealth of expertise to our team with nearly 10 years’ experience managing remodeling projects in the area. As our degreed architect, she stays on top of the latest materials, fixtures, and other design elements. She is working on her Project Management Professional (PMP) certification so you can be assured Mari will make your home renovation goes smoothly and on time.
Jordan has always liked working with his hands. As a member of a local band he began tinkering with the restoration of musical instruments. From there, he began restoring and then creating furniture pieces. Jordan’s attention to the details, that mean so much to our work, is an asset to our team.
Penny, a goldendoodle, is a certified good girl in charge of bringing smiles to our team’s faces. Although she doesn’t have thumbs, Penny would totally pick up a hammer to help out if she could.
