Testimonials

"Incredible builders with integrity. Do what they say they will do and does it when they say they will. Great team that stays ahead of schedule and finishes at the number they tell you they will at the start of the job."
 
"If you're looking for a company to build your dream home then look no further and go with them. They have the highest of standards around and have a great team of employees."
 
~ J. Vaughan
"LJCH rises above the others. Their attention to detail with our home was fantastic and is still very evident today. We lived outside of Chicago during the building process and were only able to travel down once every few months, but Kyle & his team still kept us well informed during the building process via calls and Builders Trend. LJCH & their teams exceeded everything we could have hoped for in our new home & we could not be happier!"
~ Ken and Laura Wark
