Everend Thorne

Everend Thorne

If you’ve ever worried that a contractor won’t listen, won’t care about the details, or won’t treat your home like it’s their own, you’ll appreciate how Everend approaches every project.

Back in 2005, Everend bought a fourplex in Austin and started renovating it himself not just painting walls, but tackling everything from replacing roofs to building retaining walls. He loved the problem-solving, the craftsmanship, and most of all, the transformation. By 2008, after leaving an eight-year career as a Project Manager at IBM, he launched ET’s Home Repair (now ET’s Home Renovation) to bring that same level of care to other homeowners.

Over the years, Everend has done it all from small handyman fixes to full home renovations. He’s learned the industry inside and out: hiring crews, building systems, training apprentices, and managing specialized subcontractors. And he’s never stopped improving how projects get done. His guiding philosophy? Everything is fixable  and it should be done right the first time, even if it means re-cutting a door that “looked fine” to make sure it’s perfect.

Homeowners appreciate Everend’s mix of hands-on expertise and big-picture thinking. He’s as comfortable swinging a hammer as he is designing a complex remodel plan. And when he says he’s on your team, he means it from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

Outside of work, Everend is a husband, father, and active part of the San Marcos community. Saturdays often mean family time whether it’s selling handmade crafts at the farmers market, cheering on his kids’ soccer games, or exploring local spots like the Snake Farm and San Antonio Aquarium. He’s also an avid audiobook listener, with a yearly count most people can’t match (179 in his best year).
