What are Clients Say

We love to hear from our clients after working so closely with them on their dream homes. Putting vision to their words through each step of the building process is always a joy for our team. Read what our clients say about us and why you should work with Homes by JJ on your next home build in Lake Chelan.

“When my husband and I began the process of building our forever home in Manson, we interviewed a handful of builders to ensure we selected the team that would help us bring our vision to life.  From the start, we were impressed with the creativity that JJ and Austin brought to the process.  They are forward thinking problem solvers and many times managed to read our minds!  We trusted the process and knew that they had our best interest in mind at all times.  I also appreciate that they kept to budget and if/when there was a project pushing budget limit, there was clear communication each and every time.

Between JJ’s experience as a contractor and Austin’s experience in design, I really felt like I had the dream team on my side.  They work well together, communicate clearly and were always available when we needed them.

I would 100% recommend Homes by JJ to anyone building a custom home in the Chelan Valley (in fact, I already have!!!)”

“JJ built us a home that takes my breath away. We visited no more than 3-4 times throughout the building process because I trusted him to nail the vision. From doing land feasibility from day 1 to recommending us the architects we also loved it was smooth sailing. We pushed his team on ambitious details from two massive skylights, to a sliding door that recesses, to crisp painted arches, and flawless tiling work. His team’s creative direction was essential for custom details like a wrought iron fireplace that make the house feel like it is out of a magazine. It’s surreal I get to live in it. I hugely enjoyed building our dream home with JJ…I just wish I could keep building more homes!”

“Working with Homes by JJ has been so easy and great! From the beginning, we've had fantastic access to the team and constant communication. JJ is resourceful and can find ways to meet any unique request you might have. Austin has the best creative eye and can suggest a range of products to fit your needs. Austin and JJ work so well as a team at solving problems and thinking about the completed outcome holistically. Both of them have amazing attention to detail and think of the things you can only know after doing this process many times. We have had a great experience and definitely recommend Homes by JJ!”

— Lee & Dawn

“We were pleased with JJ’s willingness to work with us on some custom details, including a custom floating staircase, a modern slab fireplace wall, beamed ceilings, and floating shelves.  And we appreciated the attention to detail with our beautiful flooring and tile installation.”

— Chuck & Linda

“When I was looking for a builder for my home, I talked to dozens of companies in the area and none of them compared to JJ. It was obvious from our first conversation until the very end that he was a true partner in the process and not just another builder. He was communicative, punctual and a friend in an otherwise very stressful process. I highly recommend JJ and genuinely believe he's the best builder in the area (and likely beyond).”
