We are so happy we could serve you and bring your home to life. **★★★★★ — Cassiana Domingues, March 2023** > I’m very satisfied with my brand new house built by J&J Building. Great service, great outcome! My house turned out exactly as I dreamed of. I highly recommend J&J Building. **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you Cassiana! We are so happy for you and wish you many beautiful memories in your new home. **★★★★★ — HAYDEN REED, Feb. 2022** > We are absolutely ecstatic about the process, the people, and the resulting home that J&J Building delivered. We continue to just smile as we think about our decision to work with J&J Building. They have always been professional, helpful, engaged, and constructive in providing additional ideas throughout the entire custom home building process. > > Perhaps the best advice we could give to a future homeowner considering J&J Building is that "there are always things you rethink -- BUT working with J&J Building will never be something we would rethink." The best decision we made in the whole process started with signing with J&J Building. > > A sincere Thank You to all the employees of J&J and all their partners across the design, build, and delivery. You made a vision and a plan, become a Home that we simply can't stop smiling about. **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you so much Hayden and Kelly for the kind words, you guys are fantastic! Your home turned out so beautifully. Thank you again for choosing J&J as your custom home builder. We don't just consider you clients...you are family. **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Brown, March 2021** > We love our new home by J&J Building. From start to finish, the J&J staff of professionals were remarkable. They were competent, friendly, honest, thorough, responsive and hardworking. Jim Costello, President of J&J, was excellent to work with during the contract and design stages. He has years of experience, lots of great design ideas and was genuinely friendly and wonderfully helpful. > J&J Project Manager, Chris Wade, exemplifies the term "cool under fire" especially during a pandemic that caused material shortages and a few job delays. He has an amazing ability to listen to the owners' concerns, juggle hundreds of construction issues and then faithfully execute a two dimentional design into a beautiful new home. And, the entire time, he stayed calm and cooperative. > Shaun Dennis, our J&J "change-order-wizard and vendor-trouble-shooter" was great to work with and kept us informed on project costs and billing clarifications. > We highly recommend J&J Builders to any new custom home buyer. > Jacqueline and William Brown **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you Jacqueline and William for the kind review. We really enjoyed working with you. Your home is beautiful and has been made into an amazing home. We're so glad it turned out so well, and what a fabulous view. We hope you enjoy the community of Oakland Park. They are lucky to have you. ~ The J&J Building Team **★★★★★ — damaddox, Nov. 2020** > J&J Building provides the integrity, quality, and knowledge that homeowners look for in a home builder. > It was a real pleasure to work with the entire J&J Building team from conception to completion. > In fact, this has been the most enjoyable and seamless home building process we have experienced. > Thank you J&J Building! > > Randy & Debbie Maddox **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you so much! We love great projects and great clients. We hope you have many many great memories made at your beautiful home. Thank you for your business and your trust. ~ The J&J Building Team **★★★★★ — HU-707578208, Aug. 2020** > Jim, Jerry, Al, and the rest of their team were a pleasure to work with. The house was completed within nine months of breaking ground. We are very happy we chose J & J Building! **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you, it was a great pleasure working with you as well. We wish you much happiness in your new home. Thank you for your business and your trust in choosing J&J. **★★★★★ — HU-571479856, July 2020** > My wife and I had built 4 houses in the last 25 years before building with J&J Building, so we are not new to the home building process. We recently built a beautiful custom home with J&J and by far, our experience with J&J was the best of all! From the very start, the J&J team helped us create a floor plan that was perfect for us and our life style. Their attention to detail exceeded our expectations in every way. During construction, our project manager kept us abreast of each phase of the building process and he was always there to answer any questions we may have had. We have lived in our new home for about 6 weeks now and couldn't be happier! Thank you J&J Building! **★★★★★ — DUANE BERNLOEHR, Dec. 2019** > J & J was a delight to deal with. Building a custom home from the ground up can be a daunting experience but the folks at J & J were knowledgeable and easy to work with. We explained what we wanted in our home - what we used rooms for, views that we wanted, style of house - and J & J helped us put together a home we are thrilled with. A tip for those of you thinking about building a custom home: Building a home is a partnership. Find a builder that you trust. Talk to others who have built with them. Stay big picture and let the builder deal with the details. They are most likely better at it than you are and you'll save yourself a lot of anxiety. J & J is just such a builder. **★★★★★ — Damion Ferrari, Dec. 2019** > Our current home is the third that my wife and I have built in the last fifteen years. Our two previous experiences left us a bit skeptical about the new construction process. From our first meeting with Jim and his staff at J&J Building we knew it would be a different experience. The entire process was seamless and the finished product is nothing short of amazing! The quality of work is second to none. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. If you're looking for a custom build, J&J is your builder! **★★★★★ — Robert Moel, Nov. 2019** > My wife and I have built / renovated over five homes during the course of your 30-years together and J & J Building is one of the best contracting firms we've worked with. We love our home. The quality of the construction, the attention to detail, and the attentiveness to our needs was second to none. I want to especially give a shout-out to Ramon Castro, our building supervisor, for his professionalism, courtesy, and detailed knowledge of our job and its requirements and to Shawn Dennis, Jim Costello, Jerry Miller, Mike Morrisey, Jenn Vanasdale, and the other team-members at J & J Building for making our house a home. **★★★★★ — Robyn McMullen, Oct. 2019** > We never planned to build a house and quite honestly, the idea terrified me. Yet, with a large family and limited housing options in our desired community, we found ourselves exploring the notion. I'm happy to say that we'd do it all over again with J & J. Jim Costello and Mike Morrissey worked patiently with us to design the home of our dreams. They listened and cared about our wishes while never making us feel we needed to spend more money. Mike is quite talented and Jim's extensive background in the field is what led us to choose J & J. He is intelligent and full of integrity. Our project manager, Allen Simmens, has become our friend and he is the reason we enjoyed the actual building process. Al communicated with us every step of the way, always reassuring and willing to accommodate changes. He is organized and diligent and went the extra mile to ensure we'd be happy homeowners. The subcontractors were priced fairly and easy to work with as well. I'm passionate about reviewing this company because it was one of the best decisions we've made, and I hope others get to experience working with these wonderful individuals. **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you Robyn for the positive review. It was a pleasure assisting you and your beautiful family with your home building project! We wish you all the best! **★★★★ — Don & Rebecca Frank, Oct. 2019** > This is our third custom home that we have built and our first done by J & J. The design team worked with us to help us create the style of home we dreamed of and then assisted us in choosing the different elements to fit our design. Our site supervisor did a great job of communicating with us throughout the building process. Whenever there was a problem (there are always problems with building a new house!) the entire J & J team worked with us to get the issue resolved quickly and did everything possible to make sure we were satisfied. The contractors they used were professional and knowledgeable in their perspective fields. If we ever decide to build another custom home J & J will definitely be at the top of the list! **★★★★★ — Gina DeGirolmo, Aug. 2019** > My husband and I had never had a home built for us, and we weren't totally comfortable when we started our search for a home builder. From the minute we walked into J&J's sales model we were put at ease. This is a builder who wants to deliver your dream home. Each person we encountered along the way was enthusiastic about building our home, very professional, responsive to all of our questions and "out of the blue" phone calls. Jim (one of the owners), Shawn, and Ramon (our construction coordinator) navigated us through the home building process and delivered to us a beautiful home. We don't have the biggest or most expensive home in the neighborhood, but it's the home that fits us perfectly, and is it not like any other home in the neighborhood. J&J listened to all of our wants and needs and designed the perfect house for us. Their attention to detail during construction is obvious when you walk through our home: quality materials, no cut corners, tidy finishes. We could only visit the property periodically while the house was being built as we were living several hours away. The Construction Coordinator sent me pictures along the way to keep me updated. When we had a question, concern or changed our mind about something he always answered my calls and texts promptly. Everyone was very accommodating. From the hand shake at our first meeting in the sales center to the hug at the final walk thru our experience with J&J was stellar. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — j moffitt, July 2019** > J & J was a pleasure to work with. This was our first home build & we found the entire process very pleasant, easy & fun. Jim, Shawn, Mike (our architect) & Chris (our Super) were all amazing to work with. We are so happy with how our home turned out & would happily do the entire process again with them. We highly recommend this company! **★★★★★ — Daren Swenson, April 2018** > J&J did a phenomenal job on our home on lot 173 in Oakland Park. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a fully custom home. **★★★★★ — cherylsunberg, Dec. 2017** > J&J built our new home in 2017. It was a great experience. Custom design and custom built. Our superintendent Al was fantastic to work with and did a great job. We couldn’t be happier with our home. Thanks to all the J&J crew! **★★★★★ — Suzanne Baxter, Dec. 2017** > We had a great experience with this builder. Entire team was very professional. They do excellent quality work. We are very pleased with finished product. **Comment from J&J Building:** > Thank you Suzanne. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — mblbmd, Feb. 2017** > J&J helped turn our ideas for our dream home into a true reality. We love our new lakeside dream home! We found them easy to work with despite our challenging schedules and responsive to our concerns. Building a home with a basement in Florida is rare, finding a builder competent to master the task is even harder. We chose well and would recommend J&J to our friends and family. **★★★★★ — Lauren, March 2016** > J&J continues to be a great builder standing behind their product and services. I would recommend them to anyone considering building a custom home. It was and is a pleasure working with them. **★★★★★ — isabella48, July 2015** > J&J worked with us from beginning to end, finishing the project on time and within budget. We got a far better home for a better price than we would have with any of the large builders. We were able to pick all of the designer materials from any source, from lighting, to flooring, wall paint and appliances. > > The J&J team is great to work with! **★★★★★ — tammiewelsh, Feb. 2015** > J&J did a fantastic job on our custom home! we would not hesitate to use them again and highly reccomend them! After interviewing multiple builders, the quality and detail J&J was able to provide was far superior to the competition. They were on site multiple times a day, every day and always available to us! We couldn't be happier with this first time building experience! **★★★★★ — jrozzi20, Jan. 2015** > Working with J&J Building has been a fantastic experience. After interviewing many general contractors, my husband and I decided to hire J&J to build our new home. We are very pleased we did. They have more than exceeded our expectations. Jim, Jerry and Al have an eye for detail and design that comes from decades of experience as custom home builders. > > I would highly recommend J&J to anyone looking to build a custom home of their dreams because J&J can make that happen. **★★★★★ — eleibert, July 2014** > J & J built our dream home. They were respectful and very professional during the entire process! They made it easy to communicate and complete our dream home. I would highly recommend them for any of your building needs! **★★★★ — Cynthia Stafford, July 2014** > We are currently living in our second J&J built home. I couldn't be happier. Very well designed. Everyone in the company is friendly and treats you like family. They do beautiful work! **★★★★★ — Nicci Meyer, June 2014** > J&J Building is a first class custom building company. They have been together for years, which I feel speaks volumes about the sustainability, quality and personalities of the owners and their staff. They are personable, up front, well versed, sharp, flexible, genuine and fair above all else. I have worked with them as a real estate professional on a number of projects and lived in a home designed and built by J&J and would recommend them to anyone. If you want to work with a hands on builder that will take the time to listen and plan a design that fits your budget and lifestyle J&J definitely fits the bill. **★★★★★ — kimber101, July 2013** > An amazing person, very helpful and friendly. When you want the job done right call him. So far they have done a bathroom remodel & a new roof. I plan on remodeling the rest of the house & this is the company I will be happy to have for the job!!!!! ## Selected projects - [Oakland Park 528](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-528-pj-vj~7750072) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [Oakland Park 135](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-135-pj-vj~7750073) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - [Celadon Street 115](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/celadon-street-115-pj-vj~7573959) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Gipson Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gipson-green-pj-vj~7750105) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Oakland Park 7](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-7-pj-vj~7750106) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 40 - [Oakland Park 8](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-8-pj-vj~7750109) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Oakland Park 523](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-523-pj-vj~7750111) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 49 - [Oakland Park 530](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-530-pj-vj~7750112) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Lakeside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-pj-vj~7573968) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 40 - [Riverview 174](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverview-174-pj-vj~7830504) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 45 - [Oakland Park 137](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-park-137-pj-vj~7750120) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Tilden Oaks 522](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tilden-oaks-522-pj-vj~7830488) - Location: Oakland, FL - Photos: 57 - Description: This Folk Victorian modern farmhouse is a graceful fusion of historic character and contemporary comfort.
