J.T. Lewis Builders: Company History

Company History

"Attention to detail..." "Commitment to quality, dependability, and service..." Accolades from customers and awards from the Parade of Homes confirm that J.T. Lewis Builders lives by the motto: “Do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do.”

Leading J.T. Lewis Builders is company president and namesake Jennifer Lewis who began a career in homebuilding in the family business in Fort Wayne, Indiana. There, Jennifer learned all phases of construction from jobsite cleanup to successfully managing a general contracting and remodeling business. A graduate of Indiana University, Jennifer worked as a builder and remodeler in Indiana for 22 years. In 1992, she relocated to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where she continues the family tradition of building high quality homes.

Doing the right thing means setting high standards for workmanship, using only top-quality materials, and including design features and finishing details that make the home inviting, comfortable and elegant. Jennifer’s commitment to excellence and attention to the smallest detail are essential to J.T. Lewis Builders’ outstanding reputation and success in a very competitive business.

Another key to J.T. Lewis Builders' success is the company's team of subcontractors. These companies and individuals were carefully selected based on their ability to consistently perform high quality work, their dependability and their ability to interact well in a team environment. The result is a tightly knit group of professionals that has worked together for many years.

For Jennifer Lewis, doing the right thing extends beyond business. Personally and professionally, Jennifer is committed to being a good community citizen by supporting local basketball and baseball teams, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County and the Avon Walk for the Cure.
