Nate Fugitt
President
Nate didn't start Thornapple to build things he started it to protect people. After 14 years in the construction industry, he'd seen too many homeowners get burned by contractors who overpromised and underdelivered. That's what drives him every day: making sure no family has to endure the stress, the budget surprises, or the broken timelines that give this industry a bad name.
Austin Galloway
Principal
Austin learned the craft from his father a carpenter and entrepreneur who taught him that quality work and honest dealing aren't optional. With over 10 years of hands-on remodeling experience, Austin brings a builder's eye and a protector's heart to every project. He moved to Grand Rapids in 2018 to partner with Nate because he believed homeowners deserved a different kind of contractor one who treats your home like it matters, because it does.

I started my project with Austin at Thornapple with the intention of new countertops for my kitchen. I asked Austin for suggestions and options to get the best look for my room. Austin had ideas I wouldnt have even conceived. We came up with a great plan to redo the kitchen, family room and my sunroom. Austin listened to my thoughts and made them happen. He always found ways to keep me within my budget while getting the wow factor I was after. His workers were professional and courteous, always working around my tool stealing dog. The end result was fantastic! Im thrilled with the results with the quality and perfection of all the work. I could not speak any more highly of this company and would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks Guys!
Thanks Guys!

We are an electrical contracting company and have worked with Thornapple Construction for a few years now. This is a great company with a great group of guys running the company. The trust they have with customers is unmatched from other companies we have worked for. From start to finish , this is a great company to work with/for. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Nate Fugitt Construction. As you can tell from the pictures, our kitchen turned out INCREDIBLE. We love spending time in the kitchen. Their team helped us with the layout, key features, and made the material and design choices easy. Their crew works with first class specialists in plumbing (literally looks like tubular perfection), HVAC (who I called later to install a new furnace and dial in humidity, he's like a HVAC wizard), and electrical. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend Nate Fugitt Construction to anyone. In fact, I already have and each friend and neighbor has LOVED the outcome.

We are extremely pleased with the design of our modern porches/entrances remodel. Nate and Austin are great to work with, can pivot throughout the project and address obstacles that sometimes arise. Austin's craftsmanship and artistry are amazing.
Thank you for your professionalism and I look forward to other projects with this firm.
