About Us
Upholding a Tradition
When a business is begun by a family patriarch and kept alive by the next generations, there is an undeniable point of difference. And when the company name carries the family name, that difference becomes pivotal. James G. Deslandes, Sr., owner and president, brings over 40 years of experience and integrity to the business, begun by his father back in 1953. Now, Jim Jr. brings not only inherited skills but a college degree in Construction Management and a global firm background to the business. The family combines practiced building techniques and business principles with a staff of skilled tradesmen to service our customer base of residential and commercial clients.

Client quotes:
“Each worker assigned to these restorative projects was highly skilled and professional in carrying out his specific work related responsibilities as well as being very attentive and cooperative to our suggestions and concerns as this project moved forward to completion. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to each and every proficient staff member for the exquisite craftsmanship and full collaboration encompassing the awesome completion of these superior designed facilities.”
“To live through nine months of construction, and still love your contractor, says a lot about a contractor! Things are back to normal around here now, but a little lonelier without ‘the guys.'”
“We appreciate the crew and subs good work and patience. They all were people we enjoyed having in our home and they were all very accommodating. You certainly made the process much easier and we really appreciate getting our shower back so quickly!”
