We could not have asked for a more professional team that the group that we had. Ken, Adam and Jimmy were all always accessible to us. We felt like they were part of the family and always had our interests in mind. The project more than met our expectations and provides a living opportunity that we have been wanting for over 20 years. Thank you JRC. **★★★★★ — Angela Elliott Interiors, Feb. 2017** > I have been working on projects with James River for ten years and they are always outstanding when comparing with other contractors and builders. They have the process down and manage their projects with ease making it seamless for the client. Incredible > Vision and they know to value engineer the right parts to stay on budget with impressive results ! Hire them you will be happy you did so! **★★★★★ — nathanwbrch, April 2016** > I have gotten to know Ken Felts and his business through a builder group that meets on a regular basis and thus have some fairly thorough knowledge of his business and its practices. I can with confidence state that this is a high quality operation that focuses on customer satisfaction and is managed professionally and competently. I am very comfortable recommending this company and I feel that this is a contractor that anyone should feel confidant and comfortable with entrusting them with the responsibility of building of their dream home. Definitely worth the time to meet with them and see what they do if you are looking for an addition or remodeling project and want to work with the best. **Comment from James River Construction, LLC.:** > Thank you for the kind words. All the best to you and your family. **★★★★★ — Kim Isringhausen, Feb. 2016** > James River Construction transformed our indoor and outdoor living space! We contracted with JRC to renovate our existing master bedroom, add a sun room and create an outdoor oasis complete with travertine hardscape, kitchen, fire pit/propane tiki torches and water feature. They were great to work with and accommodated numerous add - ons for us along the way. Ken Felts and everyone who works for / with him is a class act. We definitely recommend them and hope to have them return to us for more work in the future! **Comment from James River Construction, LLC.:** > Thanks, Kim! We loved working on your project and hope you are getting to enjoy your new outdoor living space as Spring begins.

Where are they from? A: So do we! We asked the client and will let you know. Unfortunately, she sold the home soon after we finished and moved to FLA. Sorry in advance if we can't locate the supplier. - JRC --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
