What started as a one-man crew with a few hand tools has become a multimillion-dollar operation handling multiple ongoing projects with dozens of trusted vendors and subcontractors working daily. High-quality workmanship, hard work, and scheduling efficiency have always been at the forefront of John's vision. It was always John’s dream to build a team of professionals that could enable JT Build to tackle the most in-depth projects. John's sister, Katie Tebbe, joined him in 2017 as the operation expanded and became a co-owner in 2020. In the early days, Katie focused on marketing and filled in the operational gaps of a growing business. From the start, Katie realized her passion and eye for design could go a long way in assisting customers in their projects' design and selections. John and Katie's combined expertise has yielded a multi-faceted general contracting company. JT Build fields an in-house operations team that includes a project management team and a crew of skilled carpenters and concrete finishers. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Deck Building - Basement Remodeling - Porch Design & Construction - Project Management - House Framing - Concrete Construction - Siding Installation - Barn Design & Construction - Workshop Design & Construction - Shed Design & Construction - Roof Repair - Concrete Flooring - Metal Roofing - Drywall Texturing ### Areas Served - Belleville - O'Fallon - Edwardsville - Collinsville - Shiloh - Highland - Bethalto - Lebanon - Breese - New Baden - Carlyle - Trenton - Aviston - Albers - Germantown - Beckemeyer - Bartelso - Damiansville ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | JT Build | | Address | Breese, Illinois, United States | | Phone | (618) 830-6171 | | Website | https://www.jtbuild.co | | Followers on Houzz | 76 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/JTebbe.Build/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [JT Build](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/jt-build-pfvwus-pf~402749767) - **Website:** https://www.jtbuild.co - **Phone:** (618) 830-6171 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2018–2020), for Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [HBA of Greater Southwest Illinois](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/hba-of-greater-southwest-illinois-pfvwus-pf~2081182577) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 8 reviews** ### All 8 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-55273223, Oct. 2019** > JT Build construction built my 24 x 40 garage. They were very professional, courteous and punctual. If I had questions they were always very informative. **★★★★★ — HU-678231369, Feb. 2019** > Remodel of kitchen and baths. They were compassionate about doing a great job. Returned phone call in a very timely manner. Kept to the schedule the best they could, as no remodel happens without surprises. **★★★★ — Danny Deiters, Feb. 2019** > John and crew are very professional in all they do. They did everything we asked in a timely manner and the quality of their work is very good. They came in on budget and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied My only criticism is some days, their crew could have done a better job of cleaning up the area they worked in that day. **★★★★★ — Ryan Taylor, Sept. 2017** > JT Build did an excellent job on the barn. He suggested construction details that increased the quality and longevity of a standard pole barn. Excellent quality and communication throughout all aspects. John always did extra work above the base scope for me when requested and was very fair with pricing. Based upon his performance I have also given him the siding and roofing on my house. **★★★★★ — mmaue, June 2017** > We have an unleveled piece of concrete and replaced it with a great design that was inspired by the contractor. We built it for a future fire pit and a prefab tiki bar with electric and gas run to it. **★★★★★ — Lynne Carrico, March 2017** > So far we love John Tebbe. We have just gotten started with the build process so I don't know much more, but so far, so good. **★★★★★ — michael langhauser, March 2017** > JT Build a very professional company that meets all the customer needs .

What type of wood floor is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this a special floor for a basement in case of moisture. What is is called? Thanks! A: Hi! This is an EVT laminate hardwood which is waterproof. Looks just like hardwood though. Hope this helps! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-08.*
