About J&RS
Build A Better Tomorrow with Exceptional Remodeling Services
J&RS has been bringing clients' dreams to life since 1995, started by two brothers, Jim and Ray, who began doing small remodeling projects for their friends and family in the Duluth area. As demand grew, so did their business. J&RS is a full-service construction company with an award-winning team of in-house professionals. Their ambition is to diversify and invest within the community rather than grow regionally. J&RS is one of the most trusted remodeling companies in The Northland Region area.
