I can not say enough amazing things about J M Ball Construction! From our first meeting, through all the planning and then through the entire project, Jim's professionalism and knowledge was impeccable. He listened to our ideas and questions and responded promptly and worked with us to make our dream kitchen a reality. Actually, his work exceeded my kitchen vision and our final product was even better than I thought possible! I recommended Jim and his crew without the slightest hesitation.

14 years ago, Jim Ball built an amazing contemporary addition to our Victorian home (shown in first photo), refurbished a stone structure on our property to install a gazebo, and built a 52 foot bridge to replace the one that had been there for over 100 years. When an enormous red oak fell on the bridge in Fall of 2020, making it unsafe for foot traffic, we of course, called Jim to the rescue! Relying on his substantial engineering and construction skills, he rebuilt the bridge for us in time to hold a wedding on the property and sturdy enough to hold the entire wedding party with friends and family

J M Ball Construction took our 32 year old kitchen (pictures below - old brown - new white) and designed and built a beautiful replacement kitchen with island. Can not say enough about the quality of installation and result. Attention to detail was outstanding. Jim and Chris also remodeled our downstairs bath with new vanity and mirror.

Jim built a beautiful 3 season addition on our house in Sinking Spring. The project was very unique in that we wanted a flat roof with a jacuzzi on it, accessible from the upstairs master bathroom and from the deck below. Jim remodeled the deck and linked it to the second floor jacuzzi with a spiral stair. J. M. Ball Construction does outstanding quality work well within our budget.
