About Thomas

As a family-run and local business, our team has always taken pride in a job well done. Since 1974, we’ve served our community with experience and friendly expertise which has made us a well-known name in the area.

We want your next project to come out exactly how you envision. Your home should feel like just that – your home; a place in which to relax, refresh, and reflect your personal style. Whether through a remodel, a bit of advice, or simply a gallon of paint, our mission is to help you bring your idea from concept to completion.

We strive to continue a tradition of quality and attention to detail that began with our original team of trade artisans, many of whom are still on our team to this day.

Since 1974

Thomas originally began in 1974 as MT Builders, a custom home remodeling business. 

Over the years, it grew to add a custom cabinet shop and truss manufacturing plant, located on Giuntoli Lane in Arcata. Then, in 1984, with the purchase of Whipple’s BMC (Building Materials Center), these departments merged together in McKinleyville. 

Now known as Thomas Home Center, you’ll find everything you need in one location at 1685 Sutter Road in McKinleyville.
