What They're Saying
“We are beyond thrilled with our experience building our custom forever home with John and Jack at J Angelo Design Build. From the outset, they demonstrated a level of commitment and expertise that exceeded our expectations in every way. One of the most impressive aspects of working with JADB was their proactive approach to any unexpected issues or hurdles that arose during the construction process. Rather than presenting problems, they consistently came to the table with well-thought-out solutions, along with clear explanations of any potential cost implications. This level of transparency and problem-solving gave us immense confidence in their abilities and allowed us to navigate the project smoothly. If you're looking for a custom home builder who is trustworthy, honest, creative, and dedicated to your project's success, we cannot recommend them highly enough. Our beautiful new home is a testament to their skill and commitment."
- The Swedbergs
“JADB has been incredible from start to finish as builders of our home and the renovations we needed. We could not be more satisfied with the fine work they did for us as well as their responsiveness to our questions and needs. They not only do good work, they are good people! I cannot recommend them more highly."
- Jean
“John and Jack were absolutely first-rate at all stages of the process, truly taking care of customer concerns as if they were their own — the mark of great partners!"
– John
“Acquiring an existing business is a leap into the darkness and can be stressful, but, in the months that I worked with John Meyer while acquiring Modern Contractors—the construction company he founded—I was very impressed with his openness and transparent business style. The systems and infrastructure he created to operate the business made the due diligence process and transfer of power go very smoothly. Modern Contractor’s reputation among owners and a comprehensive network of quality subcontractors guaranteed my success. Today, we are still enjoying that success and continue to build on the foundation John laid for this company.”
- Anil Jacob
President: Modern Contractors, Inc.
“... the demands of tradespeople and contractors are parallel to what John commands of himself: if it isn’t being done right, there is no excuse. John can oversee a project from start to finish in unwavering pursuit of goals and quality work. If it has John’s name or reputation on it, it’s certain to be done right. His integrity and ability to solve problems on the spot keeps the team on task and projects on track with the best of resolve ... and financial analysis of each project has been dead-on every time... he doesn’t simply ask what we can sell in a given scenario, John will already know what product, size and level he needs to complete for the targeted return.”
- Lloyd Fox
Designated Broker & Owner: Long Realty the FOXGroup
“As a new National Construction Coordinator with one of the largest property management companies in the US, I first met John and was struck by his professionalism and energy in his role as Regional Vice-President. As we were about to embark on the largest renovation project the regional office had ever attempted, I realized that my laid-back approach to getting things done was not going to match his fast-paced, organized method of completing projects. Over the next 20 years I would eventually call this man “college” for the education I received from him ... later “business partner” as we founded Modern Contractors in 1993. During seven years, the knowledge I acquired directly from John on starting, running and growing a successful business became invaluable to our partnership. If every business leader had a John to motivate and push him to the next level, there would be a lot more great companies out there. When you apply knowledge learned from each experience, as I did from John, then you know that you have reached success.
