I cant say enough good about Jon. Ours was an eight month project with very few issues along the way. He uses outstanding sub contractors. Even our neighbors commented on how organized and respectful the subs were. And he expects things to be done right; no cutting corners. I would highly recommend Jon for your home building project.

Working with JW2 on our first major remodel was a great experience. The crews were punctual, courteous, and professional. He was flexible and worked with us through the process as plans inevitably change. He had some great ideas to solve problems that we thought were somewhat insurmountable. The work was truly high caliber and has stood the test of time and teenage boys. You hear about the pain of working with contractors and going through the building process, however this experience was anything but. JW2 is definitely worth talking to and considering if you are thinking of remodeling.

We are extremely pleased with the renovation Jon did for us. Though our project may have been smaller than many he has done, he gave us the same attention to detail that we've heard he gives everyone. He effectively managed our job as to timeliness, performance, and cost. He was here through all stages of construction and inspections. His crews are very professional. They all did their jobs well and were careful working around us as we continued living in our home. We highly recommend Jon for any project you may be considering. We feel fortunate to have had him do our renovation.

We just worked with Jon Ward at JW2 for the second time on a house in Five Points, and we are always very satisfied with their work. They never try to cut corners, and are always fair with pricing and go the extra mile to make sure things are exactly how they should be. We know that we can trust them to do a great job, and we won't be working with anyone else to build or remodel while in the Raleigh area. If you're looking for a builder that puts clients first, definitely give JW2 a call.
