Owner-led, locally rooted, and built to last — meet the crew behind the homes going up across northeast Missouri.
JB Thompson Builders is an owner-led general contractor based in New London, MO, building custom homes, additions, and full-home remodels across the Hannibal area and the surrounding river communities.
Start Your Project
We're not the biggest builder in northeast Missouri, and we don't try to be. We're a small, hands-on crew that runs the whole job in-house — from the footings to the finish trim — so quality never gets handed off to whoever bid lowest that week.
Most of what we build is for our neighbors. We'll be driving past it for the next thirty years, so it had better hold up. That's the standard every project gets held to.
A lot of contractors can frame a wall. What keeps clients referring us is how we run the job — owner-led, communicative, and accountable long after the final walkthrough.
JB is on the job — not just the contract. The person you shake hands with is the person running your build.
Square, plumb, and fastened to code — then a hundred small details past that. We build it the way we'd build our own.
Real estimates, real timelines, and a phone that gets answered when something comes up mid-project.
We live in the same river towns we build in. Our reputation here is the only one we'll ever have.
Every project runs the same straightforward way — no surprises, no disappearing acts, no guessing where things stand.
Tell us about the project — new build, addition, or remodel. We come out, walk the site, and listen before we quote.
You get a clear scope, a realistic schedule, and pricing with no mystery line items buried at the bottom.
The same crew that pours the footings stays through final trim. The owner walks the work the whole way.
We finish the punch list together — and we're still a phone call away years after the last nail goes in.
Ground-up new homes built on your lot or ours, from foundation to final walkthrough.
A home designed around your life — your lot, your layout, your finishes.
Open up walls, add square footage, or transform the home you already love.
Marble countertops, custom cabinetry, walk-in showers — built to live in.
Footings, slabs, basements, and flatwork — the start of every solid build.
Shingles, metal, stone, lap siding, and decks — exteriors that hold up to a Missouri winter.
Tell us about your project — new build, addition, or remodel — and we'll come out, walk it, and put together an honest estimate.
