Why Thompson Price?
Peace of Mind Starts Here
Thompson Price is not your typical kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling company—and that’s exactly the point. While many local companies in St. Louis got their start as cabinet shops, appliance dealers, or general contractors, we began with a single focus: helping homeowners navigate the kitchen and bath remodeling process with clarity and confidence. From day one, our mission has been to design, manage, and deliver beautiful spaces while making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Why So Many Remodeling Projects Go Wrong
Most remodeling problems aren’t caused by bad intentions.
They’re caused by poor planning.
Homeowners are often forced to make major decisions after construction begins. Products arrive late. Budgets change. Communication breaks down. Before long, what should have been an exciting experience becomes stressful.
That’s exactly why Thompson Price developed a different approach.
Instead of hoping everything works out, we believe successful remodeling starts long before the first cabinet arrives or the first wall comes down.
Our entire process is built around creating clarity before construction begins.
Remodeling Should Feel Exciting, Not Stressful
When you hire Thompson Price, you’re not just hiring a contractor.
You’re hiring a team of designers, planners, project coordinators, product specialists, and trusted trade professionals who work together to eliminate uncertainty from your project.
Our goal isn’t simply to create beautiful kitchens and bathrooms.
Our goal is to create peace of mind.
That philosophy has guided our company for decades and eventually became the foundation of our proprietary 4P Remodeling Process.
Perfect Plan. Perfect Products. Perfect Price. Perfect Project.
The Difference Is In The Planning
Many remodeling companies provide a rough estimate and start construction.
We take a different approach.
Before your project begins, we create:
- Detailed measurements
- 3D renderings
- Product specifications
- Construction plans
- Electrical plans
- Plumbing plans
- Permit-ready drawings
- Itemized pricing
This planning allows you to see exactly what you’re getting before construction starts.
The result is fewer surprises, better communication, and a smoother remodeling experience.
There’s an easy way to remember our process and why it works — the four Ps.
True Comparisons. No Games.
We may be the only kitchen and bath company in St. Louis that gives you multiple price options for the same design. That means you’re actually comparing apples to apples—not trying to decode confusing bids or guess what’s included. With our exclusive 4P Remodeling Process, the price we give you is the price you pay. No surprise fees. No vague allowances that change after the fact. Just honest, transparent pricing.
More Than Four Decades Of Continuous Evolution
While many remodeling companies simply follow industry trends, we’ve spent decades refining our process.
The 4P Remodeling Process wasn’t created overnight.
It evolved from thousands of customer interactions, lessons learned, completed projects, and a commitment to improving the remodeling experience.
Today, those decades of experience allow us to anticipate challenges before they become problems.
Leadership That Helped Shape The Kitchen & Bath Industry
The Thompson Price story began in 1978 when Thompson Price founded Thompson’s House of Kitchens and Baths.
Over the decades, Thompson became a respected leader not only within the St. Louis remodeling community but throughout the kitchen and bath industry.
His accomplishments include:
- President of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (1988-1989)
- Service on the NKBA National Board
- Co-founder of the Bath & Kitchen Buying Group (BKBG)
- Decades of advocacy for professional remodeling standards
- Helping shape industry best practices still used today
These experiences helped establish the principles that continue to guide Thompson Price Kitchens, Baths & Home today.
Licensed. Professional. Accountable.
When Thompson Price installs your project, you’re getting licensed, insured, and county-registered professionals—not a random subcontractor. Since we pull permits on the projects we build, every installer must meet St. Louis County standards. That’s how you know the job is being done right—and why we confidently stand behind our work long after it’s complete.
We Respect Your Time (And Ours)
Time is your most valuable non-renewable resource. That’s why we work by appointment—so we can give you our full, undivided attention. It’s also why we’ve built time-saving tools and resources into our website, from budgeting calculators to self-guided quote options, so you can explore your project on your own terms before ever picking up the phone.
A Remodeling Design Center Unlike Anything Else In St. Louis
One of the biggest challenges homeowners face is trying to visualize hundreds of selections from multiple stores.
At Thompson Price, nearly everything is under one roof.
Inside our Chesterfield Design Center, you’ll find:
- Kitchen cabinetry
- Bathroom vanities
- Kitchen countertops
- Tile
- Flooring
- Cabinet Hardware
- Plumbing fixtures
- Lighting
- Outdoor kitchen cabinets
Instead of driving all over town, you can compare products side-by-side and make confident decisions with the guidance of our design team.
This saves time, reduces frustration, and helps ensure all selections work together beautifully.
Our Design Center
Tools That Empower, Not Confuse
We’ve invested in creating one of St. Louis’ most advanced and easy-to-navigate kitchen and bath showrooms, along with a growing library of real project case studies to show you what’s possible. Every project we take on includes full-color 3D renderings and permit-ready construction drawings. Why? Because it’s easier—and far more affordable—to make changes on paper than after the work begins.
We Believe Pricing Should Be Transparent
One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about remodeling is unexpected costs.
That’s why we’ve spent years refining a pricing system designed to give clients clarity.
Our Good-Better-Best pricing options allow you to compare different investment levels while maintaining the same overall design concept.
Instead of forcing you into one solution, we help you understand your options and make informed decisions.
No pressure.
No guesswork.
Just transparency.
Relationships Matter
Our success has never been built on high-pressure sales tactics.
It’s been built on relationships.
Many of our clients return years later for additional projects.
Others refer friends, neighbors, family members, and coworkers.
We consider that trust one of our greatest accomplishments.
The kitchen or bathroom may be the final product, but the relationship is what truly matters.
Built Like It’s Our Own Home
We approach each project as if it were taking place in our own home. That means we partner with high-quality product suppliers, use trusted materials, and focus on both form and function. We don’t believe in cutting corners—only in raising standards.
Leaders in the Industry
As a past president of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), our founder has led on both local and national levels. That experience informs everything we do, from design to delivery. It’s just one more reason why we’re among the most qualified kitchen and bathroom remodeling experts in the St Louis region.
