What Our Clients Say

Over three decades of experience doing what we love, and our clients love it too! 

Jeff L.

Past Client

J Angelo designed and built my house that I've been living in for the past 3 years now and I will absolutely use them again in the future. John and Jack are trustworthy, intelligent, and good people with good values, they've always assisted me in various maintenance tasks when I've needed them and have been a pleasure to work with. Jack always responds to my questions in a timely fashion and always extends his hands to help. They are excellent in their craft and very knowledgeable. I'm very happy in my house and have had only minor issues. They did an awesome job setting me up with warranty as a first time homeowner. Thank you guys, I really appreciate you and couldn't be happier! Would highly recommend!

The Swedbergs

Past Client

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.

Anil Jacob

President: Modern Contractors, Inc.

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.

Lloyd Fox

Designated Broker & Owner: Long Realty the FOXGroup

... 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 keep 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.

Greg McCown

Managing Partner: KeyStone Inspection LLC

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 and later “business partner” as we founded Modern Contractors in 1993. During the next 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. 

Jean

Past Client

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.

John

Past Client

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!

Our Design-Build Process 

1. The Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a complimentary consultation, where we’ll discuss key details, such as whether you have a lot secured, architectural plans in place,  financing arranged, and your goals for the project.

If you’re still in the early stages, we can assist with lot selection through our real estate agent on staff and introduce you to trusted lenders.

 

2. Design and Pricing

Our design process begins with a feasibility study to ensure your vision aligns with your budget. From there, we move into schematic design and preliminary pricing,  After that, we'll move into design development and focus on interior and exterior design elements and selections, developed either in-house or in collaboration with trusted architects and designers to deliver a complete, cohesive plan.

If you already have plans, we move directly into pricing and construction prep, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition from design to build.

3. Construction

Once construction begins, you’ll have 24/7 access to your project timeline and progress through our client portal. We maintain clear communication with regular site visits and direct access to our team, ensuring every detail is built to the highest standard.

4. Finishing Touches

As your home nears completion, we focus on the custom details and luxury finishes that set it apart. Our team conducts thorough quality checks to ensure every element meets the highest standards and reflects your vision.

5. Final Walkthrough and Move-In

Before move-in, we complete a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our standards and yours. After any final touches, you’ll settle into your new home, and we’ll follow up during the first year to ensure everything continues to meet expectations.

The J. Angelo Design Build Warranty

To provide peace of mind, every home we build is backed by our 1-2-6 warranty, which includes 1 year of full coverage on artistry and materials, 2 years for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and 6 years for structural integrity. Third-party warranty options are also available if you're looking for additional protection.

This is our way of giving you the best client experience and guaranteeing that your home will be what you want it to be once we're finished with it. Your home is one of your greatest investments, and we want to help you protect it for years to come.
