“When it comes to Quality, Integrity, & Professionalism, JTC Inc. is the right choice!”

– Chris N.

“I really want to thank you and your crew. You all handled my house and projects with the upmost professionalism. From drawing up the plans to executing the building. The personal touches and the finished details were something that you all went above and beyond! You all did not have to do that! I have bought and sold over 100 homes and built a lot of houses. I was impressed with the job site organization, the time managing on the job by keeping progress going and the extra knowledge and ideas that you shared and implemented. It Truly Made A Difference!! I would truly recommend JTC! When it comes to quality, Integrity, and Professionalism, JTC Inc. is the right choice!”

“JTC Homes designed and built my custom home on Smith Mountain Lake and I love it! Jeff and his guys were easy to work with, excellent on the details, and there for any follow up I’ve have. Whenever people ask about my home building experience, all I can say is that If I build again, I’ll only use JTC Homes and Jeff Tester! You don’t always hear that from others who’ve had homes built. With JTC Homes, you’re working with the best!”

-Tim N.


“We’ve had two fine homes built by JTC since 1999. We couldn’t be happier. They went way above and beyond with the house as well as things outside of the house I was working on. Always willing to offer a helping hand or great advice.”

“My Wife and I began the process fo building our “dream home” on Smith Mtn. Lake around 2008 and when the recession hit we put things on hold. Our builder Jeff Tester stayed with us until we were ready four years later and provided an incredible experience throughout the entire building process. He is the consummate professional, very trustworthy, a great listener, always very accommodating and recognized that our dream home would forever have his signature attached to it! His workmanship is impeccable and the job site always remained very clean. A year after moving in, and we still value our true friendship with Jeff Tester and highly recommend him and JTC Inc.”

“JTC Inc….. Jeff Tester was my prime contractor who built our custom 6,000 square foot lake home at Smith Mountain Lake, located in Franklin County, Virginia. Jeff and his crew are honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, flexible and very easy to work with throughout the ten month building process. His cost estimates were very accurate. Last minute changes were easy and fluid… not requiring the typical paper work change requests. Two years after construction, Jeff is always available to answer your questions that typically arise after the construction process is completed. I would have no problem recommending Jeff to anyone that is looking to build a quality home.”

“Jeff Tester is a top notch builder and an even better person. Building a home is an emotional rollercoaster and having a builder that will be supportive of you through that process is a must. Jeff was and continues to be that builder for our family.On a 1-5 scale…. WE GIVE HIM A 10!”

“Excellent craftsmanship and materials. They did not cut corners and took pride in their work. They were true to their word/estimates. they or their subcontractors always left the final work site clean. IF they used a subcontractor and we didn’t agree with the decision or the choice of sub, they would manage the issue and we didn’t have to worry about the hassle. This was great since we lived 2 hours away while the house was being built. For minor repairs- months to years later (Aragon issue in the basement window, element issues in tankless hot water tank) they were always easy to contact and they returned calls. They guaranteed their work as stated. If an issue went beyond the guaranteed time frame they were fair in fixing the problem. (The few problems we had were not related to THEIR workmanship but were related to that of manufactures. I would not recommend a tankless water tank.) We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. Building a house is stressful and we still like these guys!”
