People are frequently judged by the company they keep; companies are as frequently judged by the people who keep them. People who demand excellence, quality, and value in their custom homes are keeping J-Right, Inc.
"We've built our business on referrals and repeat customers," says Justin Johnson, J-Right founder and CEO. "Several of our customers have built two and three homes with us."
Happy customers, emphasis on quality, dedication to customer care, and true custom building have made J-Right, Inc., a force in the Kansas City homebuilding industry in only eight years.
Building a house is one thing, building a home is quite another. Justin knows that - and so does everyone in his company. "We build to suit our customers. No two of our homes are exactly alike because no two of our customers are either."
That buyer-centered difference means customers define and refine the homes of their dreams. For some that means French doors to a solarium, for others it means a master suite with luxurious detailing and spa-like amenities, for yet others it means a gourmet kitchen or a sumptuous outdoor living area. The company's on-staff architect helps give reality to dreams.
Award-winning, on-staff designers help customers define and refine their choices in colors, materials, and textures, ensuring interiors as unique as the people who will live in them.
Caring for customers begins before the first dirt moves for any home and continues long after the owners move in. Communication and relationships are key. Take "Homeowner Notes" as an example. With this Internet tool, customers receive weekly updates on the progress of their homes and can communicate with construction superintendents online 24/7. Once the home is complete, J-Right closing team members ensure constant follow-up. The result is an open, organized, smooth building process with no surprises - except the surprise of no surprises.
While J-Right's web site, jright.net, is a primary source of information for customers, it also provides a wealth of information for potential customers. Visitors can see home elevations and plans as well as virtual tours of exquisite kitchens, master suites, and master baths. They can learn about communities in which J-Right builds, and they can learn about homes currently available. Clicking on "Current Promotions" brings time-sensitive information. Whether you're a current customer looking for an update on the progress of your home or a potential customer gathering ideas, jright.net is an important source of information.
The best way to ensure quality is to control it - and J-Right does that every step of the way. A large in-house staff of professionals and long-term relationships with subcontractors mean J-Right controls the quality of every aspect of every home that carries its name. Materials and finishes chosen for quality and long life add to each home's immediate value. A five-year warranty Justin describes as "the best in the business" means even more peace of mind for customers.
Drawing on trends, styles, and ideas from across the nation, J-Right home designs are frequently firsts in the Kansas City area. From Craftsman to Mediterranean to traditional to beautifully contemporary, home designs reflect the one-of-a-kind people who choose them. The Colorado, one of the company's newest plans, brings the feel of a mountain lodge to Kansas City with exposed beams, stone fireplace, and extensive use of wood.
With J-Right homes, the unique is the expected. Bull-nose arches soften interiors, lovely support columns integrate beautifully into designs and walkways. Ceilings soar and stunning windows flood rooms with light. Living spaces flow gracefully into each other. Ridgelines and rooflines add exceptional exterior detail. Whether buyers use J-Right plans or arrive with their own plans, customization is the expected norm. For example, the company has built more than 70 versions of one popular floor plan.
Places buyers choose for their J-Right homes are as spectacular - and as unique - as the homes themselves. "We build in some 30 outstanding communities throughout metropolitan Kansas City," Justin says, "and we also build on sites that customers have simply fallen in love with from city to suburbs to country. It's where they want their dream home so it's where we build it." Home prices range from the $350,000s to $2 million+.
Justin began his building career more than 20 years ago working with his father in Alaska. That extensive hands-on training gave him experience with every service he now provides to his customers. It also taught him the importance of building a quality company with quality people. Two decades later, the lessons are the foundation of a powerhouse in the industry. "Choosing good people, listening to their ideas, giving them a stake in what they're doing, and backing their entrepreneurial spirit is a surefire way to ensure people care about what they're doing."
