What Jls Construction does

JLS Construction Inc. is a privately held, full-service residential general contractor incorporated in Washington and headquartered in Maple Valley, WA, serving the Seattle metropolitan area including Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Shoreline, Federal Way, and surrounding neighborhoods. Founded in 2003 and employing approximately 49 people, the firm is owned and operated by skilled carpenters and craftsmen (principals Scott and Gregg) and focuses exclusively on high-end custom home construction and custom remodeling — including kitchen and bath renovations, additions, complete renovations, structural modifications, and mid-century modern preservation projects.

The company's service delivery relies on professional construction management systems for scheduling and job controls, value engineering, and design consulting, with in-house crews functioning as framers, finish carpenters, and installers. Specialty work (electrical, plumbing, heating) is delivered through long-tenured subcontractors. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with detailed cost breakdowns produced before construction begins; testimonials cite projects spanning up to 18 months and approaching $2 million.

The go-to-market is direct-sales-led: homeowners reach the firm via phone, email, or an online contact form on a Houzz-hosted website, and engagements are pursued through individual estimating and bidding. Marketing runs primarily through the Houzz Pro profile, which carries portfolio imagery, project reviews, and awards including Best of Houzz 2019 - Client Satisfaction and Houzz Influencer status. Industry affiliations include the National Association of Home Builders and the Master Builders Association. The legal entity is JLS Construction Inc. (Washington), there is no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public listing.
