EXCELLENT Based on 28 reviews Posted on Ryan Bechard2026-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with Jack Built on a several projects now and they’re always great to deal with. Very organized, clean sites, and communication is easy which makes our job go smoothly. Would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a solid builder.Posted on Chris Campeau2025-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiring Johnny to redo our 1967 bathroom was one of the best decisions we’ve made. As first-time remodellers, we had a lot of questions, and Johnny was informative and easy to work with every step of the way. The quality of his work is excellent, and his pricing is competitive. Can guarantee we’ll hire him again in the future. (Also, he put in some long days to get it done in time for Christmas. Very grateful!)Posted on Jennifer2025-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Johnny to replace the steep stairs off our back deck and build a ramp for our aging dog who has lower back issues. From start to finish, Johnny went above and beyond. He was professional, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process—keeping us informed every step of the way. The quality of his work is outstanding, and the ramp has made a world of difference for our pup. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate craftsmanship.Posted on Duncan Gibbons2025-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When our old deck needing replacing, we quoted several contractors to get a feel for what the costs could be. Johnny's quote was the most complete and cost effective, and the quality of workmanship is much better than what we could have done by ourselves. Highly recommended.Posted on Rick Morris2025-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Impeccable work. Turned our old dilapidated gate into a work of art! The craftsmanship is incredible.Posted on Darlene Bergeron2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What was built surpassed our expectations.
