They perform beautiful work. We had a major issue with our townhome and Joel was there with in 30 minutes to help us start getting a solution. He is very professional and does the right thing for his customers. I'm glad to know Joel as a person, and I hope to purchase a house he has constructed in the future. Thank you for your great work!

JITA Contracting was in charge of building the 9 unit townhome project where I purchased one of the units. I came to Durango looking for a place to escape California and I looked at 5 places in Durango, all being new. As soon as I walked into the place that JITA developed, I knew that unit was most likely going to surpass all other options. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail, like no molding around any of the doors and the finished window casings, were a big clue as to how much work went into building these places. The fixtures were all high quality, including the appliances

We had the opportunity to work with JITA contracting during the construction of our new Subaru sales and service facility. Throughout the construction process they were professional, courteous, honest and responsive to our requests and needs in building a state of the art retail environment. I would highly recommend JITA for any scale construction project as they are a pleasure to work with and more than capable.

I had the pleasure of working with Joel, Karissa, and Alexi as my company is building a new website for them. Their professionalism and excellent communication skills made working with them so fun and easy! During this process, I got an inside look at operations at JITA and I can tell you they are nothing short of World Class contractors. Their work is impressive and their clients are in love with them.
