The Jimmy Bryan Construction team is a family company made up of Jimmy Bryan, his wife Lu, their son Sam.  They have been building in North Alabama since 1992.   Our company is a licensed General Contractor and licensed with Alabama Homebuilders Licensure Board.    
Having both a construction company and our experience with landscapes, you can be sure of the placement of your new home, drives and walks.  We can also help you with obtaining house plans or revising any plans you might have to suit both your use and taste.  Green building practices are a large part of what we focus when building our homes in order to make them easy on the environment and your wallet!
From initial design to the finished project, a home is the reflection of each customer's personal taste and style, yet is built upon a timeless foundation of craftsmanship and pride.
At Jimmy Bryan Construction we take great pride in maximizing the use of functional space in each of our homes by utilizing bonus rooms, flex spaces, and finished basements we provide the extra room needed for today’s growing families. These are the rooms you’ll entertain in, these are the spaces where your children will grow, and this is where memories will be made. We believe that in each Jimmy Bryan Home, you’ll receive an unmatched level of amenities, architectural detail, craftsmanship, and square footage for the price. 
Quality is both the cornerstone of our homes and our business. We take great pride in our high quality craftsmanship, well-designed floor plans, cost-conscious construction, and solid structural integrity. Because of our commitment to excellence, we use industry-leading brands throughout our homes that are reliable and quality products.

**★★★★★ — kristenama, Aug. 2016**

> Great work and close to budget. The whole team worked with our family on a pretty large remodel and made it relatively painless. My wife still says, "Thanks" a year later. We love it.

**★★★★★ — joemckay7, Feb. 2016**

> Jimmy Bryan Construction built us a fabulous home in the Waterford subdivision three years ago.  Based on a Frank Betts design, they modified the plans to suit our desires/needs and gave us a home that we have thoroughly enjoyed ever since.
> They came in under cost (we added a lot of extras and had no surprises on the change in cost) and on schedule.
> It was a wonderful experience.

**★ — Mom&Dad Remodel, Feb. 2016**

> We signed a contract to have Jimmy Bryan Homes (specifically his son Sam Bryan) build a custom home for us back in 2014.  We had plans drawn up and went through an extremely detailed budget analysis with him on how much we could expect to build our home for.  We were very involved in this process and even went back through the initial analysis to adjust where the builder had under bid so we could get the most accurate reflection of what we could expect to spend.  We had a budget and wanted to stick to it.  A few months into the building process we started seeing invoices come in approximately 40 percent over the budgeted amount.  When we had a meeting with the builder it came to light that when he bid the job almost every area was under bid.  These were areas where we relied on him to be accurate, such as lumber, concrete, brick, stone, and electrical.  Ultimately, the gross error in his budget estimate put us in excess of $50,000 over budget to build our home.

**★★★★★ — kmckay33, Feb. 2016**

> We hired Jimmy Bryan Construction to build our dream home.  Working with Sam and Jimmy Bryan was a great experience.  Sam offered great ideas and suggestions.  One of our light fixtures, in a room that had a vaulted ceiling, had a base that would not work and he designed a ceiling box that looks amazing.  I also wanted a glass cabinet and columns added between the kitchen and family room and they look great.  We are constantly getting compliments on our home, and from the twilight porch to the sunroom, we have a lovely place to share with family and friends.

**★★★★★ — barrybyrd, Feb. 2016**

> My wife and I built with Sam back in 2011-2012. We first were introduced to Sam and Jimmy's workmanship before we met them. My wife and I came across one of their home projects in Canebrake by happenstance while I was playing golf one Saturday (I somehow ended up carrying my clubs for a few holes while my wife took the golf cart and walked through one of his home projects). Needless to say, she was quite impressed by what she saw.
>
> Unknowingly, we came across another one of Sam's houses a year or so later and both loved it. We knew at that point, we wanted our first custom home to be built by Sam.
>
> The building process was great. Sam and Jimmy both were very responsive, gave great tips on saving where we could and spending on what we would enjoy. They've also been very responsive after we moved in. We would definitely build with them again.

**★★★★★ — jobyrd, Feb. 2016**

> The first time I walked into a home built by Jimmy Bryan Construction in Canebrake (Athens, AL) I knew I wanted to have my future home built by them...the home was designed beautiful, the detailed work was impeccable, and as you walked through the home you knew Sam had a passion for building dream homes.  Jimmy Bryan Construction works closely with clients to build homes that clearly reflect their passions and priorities. Jimmy Bryan Construction has talented subcontractors and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure all the details of your home plan are as you dreamed they would be. I am honored to have a home that was built by Jimmy Bryan Construction.

**★★★★★ — Darrin Hasley/Capstone Realty, June 2015**

> Jimmy Bryan Construction is a professional, customer-focused, and detail-oriented home builder with a knack for exceeding expectations and delivering a home that will absolutely blow you away. Highly recommend for your next home or remodel.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Screened & dining porch dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)*

What are the dimensions of this beautiful porch including the screened area? This home is amazing. The garage design with the street facing entry is very aesthetically appealing

A: Sarah,
Thank you for the kind comments!  The overall size of that porch is 14'x 52'

**Q: Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)*

What type of wood and stain are the floors?  They are beautiful.

A: This is 5" wide \#2 grade white oak flooring.  It has a 50/50 stain of early american and special walnut on it by Minwax.  We mixed the 2 stains on site and applied it with a buffer in order to get an even stain.  The light and dark color you see is from the would being a \#2 grade and not a select grade which would be very even in color.

**Q: Sq feet and plan?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful! Is a floor plan available? How many sq feet is this home? Thank you!

A: This was a custom home for a customer and there is not a floor plan available.  The square footage is approximately 7700 sqft heated and cooled

**Q: Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)*

What kind of stone/slate is this?

A: I am not sure what the name of it is.  I know it is not indian autumn.  The sealer that is on the slate gives it a darker shine
