Experience You Can Trust, Craftsmanship You Can See
About Thomas Archer
From the beginning, Thomas Archer set out to be different, combining those business principles with a deep passion for construction. Every aspect of the company is centered around the client. A methodical requirements-gathering process ensures clarity from the start, while careful management of staff, subcontractors, vendors, and schedules supports a seamless experience and superior craftsmanship.
While the firm maintains an office downtown, the priority is always the job site. Thomas Archer strives to be the easiest construction company to work with by staying actively involved, coordinating the team, and overseeing every detail—from permits and demolition to cleanup and move-in. And when challenges arise, they are addressed quickly, effectively, and with the project’s momentum firmly intact.

Meet The Owner
In 2003, Thomas Archer, LLC was founded by John Moody III, to fill a gap commonly found in the construction industry. Named after his third great-grandfather, Thomas Archer Moody, the company was built on the belief that successful construction requires more than technical skill—it requires strong leadership, accountability, and sound business practices. While many construction firms excel at building, fewer excel at running a company with the professionalism and structure learned in corporate America.
John was elected to NARI (National Assoc of the Remodeling Industry) Board of Directors in 2013 and served at its Treasurer for 2 terms and in 2018 he was elected as Vice President. In 2020 he was instrumental in spinning off the local chapter to PRO Mid Atlantic and served as it’s President in 2020.
