About Us

Where Our Story Began

Our founder spent his childhood tagging along with his father on job sites. His father taught him to think like a craftsman, always pausing before decisions were made. If you were there, you would have heard, “Measure twice, cut once,” and “Use the right tool for the right job.” The question that shaped our philosophy was: “If this was your home, how would you fix it?” 

 

The lessons hit even closer to home during their own family renovations. His mother wanted a healthy home for the family. She helped to keep their space clean and safe during the work. He learned that great work meant more than a good result; it meant caring for the client’s journey. Today, those foundational questions and family values became the pillars of our business:

Values That Guide Us

Dust Control

My fiancé and I recently bought a condo and were struggling to find a reliable contractor to update our kitchen, stain our hardwood floors and paint the entire place. A friend recommended JRE Developments to us and we are so glad that we went with Sam and his team! Sam is a great communicator, super knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I also really appreciated the late nights and weekends they worked to meet our timeline. We are so happy with how our kitchen turned out. Sam is truly the best!

Working was Sam was great. He and his team updated our kitchen, floors and painted the entire property. Everything turned out great, even though the deadline was tight. We’ll definitely work with Sam again and refer him to everyone we know.

JRE did a beautiful full bath redo in our 80 year old home. We were so pleased with all aspects of the project, from good project management, communication and budget to exceptional quality work done by all of the craftsmen. Sam ensured that the dust/dirt was kept to a minimum and that craftsman cleaned up each day. Highly recommend and would hire again for another project.

Working with JRE bros was fantastic!! Sam was exemplary during my remodel. He was so efficient and hard working. He saw our vision and completed the job perfectly. Not only did he beautifully complete the job in a very timely fashion, but he also understand our design and offered up expert advice. I will definitely hire JRE bros again and soon!

Professional, quality work and a pleasure to work with. We had a leak that damaged our ceiling badly. I contacted JRE and in two days they repaired and painted everything as if it was brand new. While working they put up a dust barrier which was much appreciated for our family, especially our little one. Highly recommend them!
