SUMMIT SERVICES
Summit Services was founded on a simple but powerful idea: to be a different kind of home services company—one that operates at the highest level without ever compromising on customer care. For owner and founder Kevin Thompson, that vision has been the driving force from day one. “It’s easy to say you put customers first,” he shares, “but we challenge ourselves every day to actually live that out and treat people the way we would want to be treated.”
Kevin’s journey began in the Lowcountry where he grew up, later attending the University of Georgia before starting his career in the homebuilding industry. In 2007, he transitioned into the HVAC field, where he spent years learning the business. Over time, he began to notice a pattern, missed appointments, inconsistent service, and a lack of attention to the homes people had worked so hard for. “I wanted more for homeowners,” Kevin explains. “I was tired of the excuses and knew there had to be a better way to serve people.”
With that conviction, he set out to build Summit Services from the ground up. Starting with no customers, no employees, and no roadmap, Kevin relied on hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to doing things differently. “I’ll be the first to admit I made some costly mistakes early on,” he says, “but I knew if we stayed committed to our values, we could build something special.”

Kevin Thompson grew up in the Lowcountry and graduated from Hilton Head High School, later attending the University of Georgia where he met his wife Valerie — and now they’re raising their two boys in the same beautiful area he’s called home his whole life.
