Highly recommend! I worked with Sam and he was very kind and professional. The work he did was exceptional and went beyond my expectations. Answered all my questions and I cannot stress enough what a wonderful job he did. I had him replace some steps that were too steep and he was able to match the custom railings that were there and they are now so much better than what I had and I can get up and down them so much easier. He also fixed under my threshold that had rotted and it went beyond my expectations also. Highly recommend and I plan on contacting them with any future remodeling or to fix any issues I can have them help with!

In 2025, we approached J&RS with an idea for an expansion to our house. Chad was very professional and quick to respond with an initial rough estimate. After looking over the quote and signing with J&RS, we appreciated working with Chad and Kate over the winter to go over design iterations and make final decisions. Our expansion project included a new sunroom/recreation room, a bedroom/office, and a mudroom/powder room. Although our plans had grown and changed during the initial phase, we were happy J&RS was able to accommodate our requests within a reasonable budget, given the scale of the project. In spring of 2026, work began within the time frame they initially provided, and we were pleased with how Micah managed the project from start to finish. We were thankful for Micah’s communication and reassurance throughout the project if any issues or delays came up. If we had a concern, J&RS talked it through with us to come up with a solution that worked for everyone, and any problems were resolved in a timely manner. For example, one of our new windows was accidentally broken, and a window replacement was immediately ordered and installed by the end of the project. We also had a few minor design things that we wanted to adjust during the finishing touches, which were handled with care and done to satisfaction. One night, Micah even came out with a tarp to help cover an open portion of our addition that was exposed to extremely heavy rain. It was very exciting to see the progress each week, and we are very happy with the final results! Chad, Kate, Micah, and all the J&RS staff and subs worked hard to make sure our project was completed on time while meeting quality standards and permit requirements. We were especially impressed with how the roof line was tied into our existing home and the efficiency of the framers. We also love how the interior wood doors, trim, and ceiling turned out as well as the custom windows! We have been enjoying our new space and would recommend J&RS for anyone considering a renovation or expansion to their home.

Our basement remodel was the first time using J&RS but it definitely won't be our last! We've owned four homes and had over a dozen remodeling projects over the years. We have never had an experience like we did with J&RS! Starting with Ryan Blomquist and Kate Erickson as the sales and design team- we couldn't believe how hard they worked to meet our wish list! We were thrilled with their attention to the tiniest details, careful listening to get to the heart of our family's needs, and presenting beautiful options that took the stress and guesswork out of the design process. They took the time we needed to be educated about the process, timeline, products, expectations and cost. We never felt there was a "silly question" or that we were wasting anyone's time. We felt so taken care of! Rory Sundberg and his team (Marlin, JB, Ben, John, Henry, Bo) went so far past our expectations! Professional, friendly, patient, quiet, clean, respectful to us, our home, dog and each other, great communication, awesome sense of humor. It made the experience fun! Can you imagine a remodel being FUN!??? IT WAS! Ultimately they transformed our basement into a two bed/bath retreat for our guests while improving our structure and safety. The outcome was mind-blowing. Check out our photos! We love our new space! DO NOT HESITATE to reach out to J&RS - they will do everything in their power to make sure you're satisfied! We'll definitely be back!

Finally we found a reliable contractor. We had J&RS start with building our deck..Zac, our salesman was knowledgeable, professional and took the time to listen to what our goal was.. their crew showed up as planned and did an outstanding job. We then had them design and build an awning for the front of our house again they delivered a great looking product. I honestly can't say enough good about them. We're looking forward to the bathroom remodel.

Rebuilt the floor of my old front porch. Night and day difference! The price was right and they were efficient and tidy. Connor, Zach and their crew were all a pleasure to work with.

Can’t say enough good things about this company and its employees. From the receptionist, to Ryan, Monica, John and Ben, our experience was amazing. Ryan and Monica came out and gave us ideas we never thought about. Ryan’s ideas for the layout of the kitchen, to Monica’s questions about colors and how we wanted the kitchen to feel, made us think. They gave us ideas to think over and time to decide. After a few meetings with Monica, and changes we made, we were ready to begin the project. John and Ben were our team. They came everyday, on time, and explained what they planned for the day. Before they would leave, they explained what they accomplished and what they planned for the next day. We were always kept informed. Ryan would stop by and oversee the project and ask if we had any concerns or questions. And John and Ben made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Job completed! And we couldn’t be happier. See you at our next project.

Our front porch project is finished. We want to tell you how impressed we were with both Sam and Eli and the work they did on the railing.. They did an exceptional job. They took care to make sure the railing was straight, mounted securely and made sure to tell us what they were doing. When finished the area was cleaned and before they left visited with us to make sure we were pleased with their work. They are an asset to your company. Please be sure and comp[liment them for us on their work. Frank and Pat Riggio

The installers had the window replacement job completed in just a few hours. Zach was great to work with and was price competitive. The process from measurements, placing the window order and installation was flawless.

J&RS has been terrific to work with on three different projects. Clean up and care of property are superb. They pay attention to the smallest details. They have been very responsive to any concerns or issues that may arrise, both during and after the project. They have even willingly consulted on home issues that were not a part of the project. Costs are competitive with other estimates, but material options have been of higher quality.

Your Kitchen Cabinet Questions, Answered

Think of stock cabinets as ready-to-wear fashion and custom cabinets as tailored couture! Stock cabinets come in predetermined sizes and styles—they’re the grab-and-go option. Custom cabinets are built specifically for your kitchen’s unique dimensions and quirks, with your choice of materials, finishes, hardware, and special features. We also offer semi-custom options—think “ready-to-wear with alterations”—giving you some personalization without the full custom price tag. Each option has its place, and we’ll help you decide which makes sense for your situation.

Yes, we provide comprehensive kitchen remodeling services. While some clients come to us specifically for cabinet expertise, most benefit from our integrated approach that includes design, demolition, cabinet installation, countertops, fixtures, flooring, and finishing work. This coordinated process eliminates the complexity of managing multiple contractors and allows for a more efficient timeline. Our clients in Duluth and throughout the Northland appreciate having a single point of contact throughout their kitchen transformation

Proper maintenance preserves both the appearance and functionality of your cabinets. We provide specific care instructions based on your cabinet material selection. Generally, regular cleaning with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water is recommended for most finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and excessive moisture. Address spills promptly, particularly on wood surfaces. For wood cabinets, occasional application of an appropriate polish helps maintain their luster. With proper care, quality cabinets should maintain their appearance and functionality for 15+ years, making them a worthwhile investment in your home.

We understand the importance of balancing quality and cost. Several approaches can help optimize your investment: consider cabinet refacing or refinishing (typically 40-60% less expensive than full replacement), prioritize quality construction in high-use areas while selecting more budget-friendly options elsewhere, or implement a phased approach to spread costs over time. During your consultation, we’ll discuss financing options available through our trusted partners and help identify the approach that delivers maximum value within your budget parameters. Remember that well-executed cabinet improvements typically return 70-80% of their cost in home value, making them one of the more financially sound home improvements.

We provide a diverse selection of cabinet materials to accommodate different design preferences, durability requirements, and budget considerations. Our material options include:

  • Multiple wood options for traditional warmth and character
  • Laminate for durability and easy maintenance
  • Thermofoil for sleek, contemporary designs
  • Fiberboard for stability and consistent appearance
  • Particleboard for cost-effective solutions

During your consultation, our design team will help you evaluate these options based on your specific needs, discussing the advantages of each material in terms of appearance, longevity, maintenance requirements, and investment level. We can provide samples to help you visualize how different materials will look in your kitchen environment.
