What CJS Enterprises does

CJS Enterprises LLC is a private, family-owned commercial construction subcontractor headquartered in Peoria, Arizona, founded in 1962 by Curtis Jones. The company self-performs three integrated trade scopes — concrete, masonry, and iron/fence — and serves general contractors and property owners across the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, with licensing that extends into California (C-8 Concrete). Its concrete division focuses on post-tension multifamily buildings, multi-story commercial structures, and large concrete pavement projects; the masonry division handles commercial, industrial, and retail buildings plus ADOT sound walls, retaining walls, and decorative stonework; and the iron division, added in 2013, provides wrought iron fencing and iron work that can be combined with the other two trades on a single project. This three-division integration — footing, wall, and fence delivered by one subcontractor — is positioned as the company's defining technical and operational differentiator and reduces coordination overhead for general contractors.

The business operates a B2B subcontracting model with quote-based, project-specific pricing and no recurring software or licensing component. Revenue is generated from one-time construction contracts spanning commercial, industrial, retail, residential, multi-family, and public works projects; the largest single deal cited is a $4 million ADOT sound wall package. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct outreach to general contractors, a long-running repeat-clientele base, and a partnership channel through Seven Stars of Arizona LLC — a Native American Minority, Woman-owned entity formed in 2010 that gives CJS preferred-contractor status on Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community and Navajo Nation projects.

Ownership is fully consolidated under Craig Jones, who became sole owner in May 2013 after serving as general manager since 1995. The company employs 101–250 people and has not raised institutional capital, completed M&A, or disclosed revenue. Its competitive position rests on multi-generational operating expertise, 60+ years of brand reputation, the Seven Stars regulatory/distribution advantage, and integrated multi-scope delivery rather than on technology, data, or software.

Core offering

CJS Enterprises is a commercial construction subcontractor offering concrete, masonry, and iron/fence services under three integrated divisions. The company serves general contractors and property owners in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, performing work that includes post-tension multifamily buildings, multi-story commercial concrete, ADOT sound wall construction, retaining walls, and wrought iron fencing. The integrated model allows the company to execute multiple scopes on a single project.

Product overview

CJS Enterprises offers a unified construction services platform with three integrated service divisions: Concrete Division, Masonry Division, and Iron/Fence Division. The company specializes in commercial construction providing concrete pouring, masonry construction, and iron work as a coordinated service. This multi-division approach enables seamless transitions across project phases, with the ability to tackle projects requiring all three divisions working together—for example, concrete teams pour foundations and footings, masonry teams erect walls, and iron teams install wrought iron fencing. Services span commercial, industrial, retail, residential, multi-family housing, public works, and infrastructure projects including ADOT sound walls and freeway construction.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• McCarthy Building Companies: Large national general contractor with significant Arizona operations spanning commercial, healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Overlaps with CJS in end markets and Phoenix footprint but operates as a GC rather than subcontractor.
• Sundt Construction: Arizona-headquartered general contractor operating across commercial, industrial, and heavy civil markets. Comparable as a Phoenix-based construction firm operating at significantly larger scale than CJS in adjacent project categories.
• Granite Construction: Major heavy civil and infrastructure contractor with active Arizona operations including ADOT-adjacent work. Comparable in transportation/infrastructure exposure (sound walls, roadway construction) but at substantially larger scale.
• CalPortland: Major Western U.S. concrete, aggregates, and construction services provider operating across California and Arizona. Comparable as a vertically integrated concrete construction services business in CJS's geographic footprint.

Others

• Cemex: Global building materials company producing cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates with U.S. operations including Arizona. Comparable as a concrete materials supplier rather than as a competing subcontractor.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates and a major concrete supplier. Comparable only as a materials provider upstream of CJS's services rather than as a direct competitor for concrete subcontracting work.
• Quikrete Holdings: Leading manufacturer of packaged concrete, mortar, and masonry products serving construction professionals and consumers across the U.S. Comparable as a participant in the concrete/masonry ecosystem but not as a competing subcontractor.

Direct peers

• Largo Concrete: National commercial concrete subcontractor providing structural concrete, foundations, and post-tension services across the Southwest. Highly comparable to CJS's concrete division in scope, customer base (GCs), and project types.
• Baker Concrete Construction: Largest concrete subcontractor in the United States, performing commercial, industrial, and infrastructure concrete work. Directly comparable to CJS as a multi-trade self-performing concrete/masonry subcontractor serving general contractors.
