Joe Thomas has lived in the Atlanta area most of his life. His father, a carpenter and general contractor, taught him the trade and also instilled in him a strong work ethic and appreciation for quality work and service to clients. Joe and his wife, Donna, have renovated two vintage homes in Atlanta (Candler Park, 1910, and Morningside, 1925) and are currently planning to do a third. Joe does some of the work himself and subcontracts the rest.
A strong advocate for sound environmental practices, Joe is encouraged by the growing trends in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. He values resources like Southface for the information and training they offer. He has completed courses in EarthCraft renovations and been certified as a building analyst by the Building Performance Institute. He has also had training in solar system design and installation.
