“Reliably High-Quality, At Scale,
in everything we do"
Starting as a wide eyed fire sprinkler designer with Thorpe Design in 2007, Corey has since held Assistant Manager, Department Manager and Vice President positions with the company making him an infinitely capable President that understands every step of every process. He acknowledges the hard working team and family environment make it easy for him to lend his expertise wherever it may be needed. In addition to his years of experience, he is also NICET II certified in water based system layouts and is nearly complete with NICET III certification. When Corey is not overseeing day to day operations, reviewing bids and negotiating contracts, he will most likely be enjoying the company of his wife and children planning their next trip under the stars in Maui or playing poker with a few close friends over some cold brews.

What Our Clients Say...
I am the Onsight manager for a 16-story high rise Condominium in Downtown Sacramento, CA. I worked with Ryan and his team to complete our 5-Year Standpipe and 5-Year Fire Sprinkler Inspections. He and his team were AMAZING! They were very professional, efficient, and detailed when it came to getting both inspections completed and follow ups for our corrections. I appreciate their efforts to getting everything completed in a timely manner as we were under a lot of pressure with the City of Sacramento to having these test completed. A special thanks to Christian and Jose for their attention to details and knowledge when it came to repairs and review over each unit when completing the walk throughs and repair work. Thank you to Ryan and for all his help and knowledge when working with our company and building and answering any and all of our questions with his extensive knowledge about our Standpipes and Fire Sprinklers. I highly recommend this company for Fire Protection and hope to work with them in the future.
Thank you from Bridgeway Towers!

I maintenance a senior facility in pittsburg this is the secong time I have used Thorpe and they will now be the company I always use I have been doing this for a long time and I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of their employees. They did an outstanding job on our 5 year inspection cleaned up all the old labels and put the new labels on they easily could have left them like other companies in the past but instead they made it look professional and when I hire an outside vendor these are the qualities I look for I want you to care about our building as much as we do and thats the kind of service I received.

This is the second time we have worked with Thorpe in the last 4 years. I must say that their professionalism, knowledge, and support has been AMAZING. Jose is not only punctual and reliable, he is also very responsive with our communications. Mario is also a delight to work with, his honesty, expertise, and dependability are exactly what we needed during the project's completion. Thorpe Design is an honorable company. I would use their services again and will definitely highly recommend!!!

We had a slight emergency with the home fire sprinklers, and Thorpe Design responded to our call quickly by sending someone over the very next morning to fix it. They were professional and fixed the problem fast!
We hope to never have a fire sprinkler problem again, but if we do we will be sure to call Thorpe Design.

They act as if they don't value it anyway. I had to work with them on two of my homes in Brentwood, and each time, they were consistently unresponsive. You can hear the attitude in their tone, as if you're wasting their time just by calling. This place is a joke! Malcolm MarchJuly 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in an apartment complex in Cotati and was asked by property management that this company would come to work on fire sprinklers. Property manager offered to stay but I do not allow people who I don’t know to enter my apartment. First day that I cancelled my work day, this company sent only one person. My understanding is that the company informed our property manager that it would take 30 minutes but was never briefed about the architecture of our apartments and could not get the job done, having to re-schedule and bring more people. That’s one day of work I lost. Second visit, our property manager now says that it would take 45 minutes per unit and the company sent more people to work on it. So of course, I cancel a second morning of work and now it’s taking over and hour per unit with even though the company sends more staff and still cannot make it to my apartment. It frustrates that, in order to be proactive, I take the necessary requirements but because of poor planning now I have to think about making accommodations for a third day.

It's been almost 3 weeks and I cannot reach this company. My husband and I have collectively called over 15x due to an electrical issue we need to have checked. We were told a case was opened and someone would be here to fix the issue but nobody has shown up and nobody will pick up or return our calls since that attempt. Our fire alarm has gone off twice and we couldn't turn it off so the fire dept has come out and assessed and informed us to go to this company as it was the company who installed the system. Given that the alarm won't turn off we have to turn off the electrical panel on this side of the house which impacts other things we need to do in the home. It's unprofessional and beyond frustrating to not respond to us. If you can avoid it, I would take your business elsewhere.
