We thank our clients for sharing their gracious words about our service and workmanship
I have been very pleased with every aspect of Triple J’s construction of our home outside Moab. Jamie and Triple J have treated us like their only customer during the construction process; Jamie himself put his heart and soul into every detail of the house and its construction, and then guided his professional crew accordingly through each phase of the work. Our construction took place during a “building boom” in Moab—a challenging time for builders where suppliers and subcontractors resisted general contractors’ efforts to schedule, plan and price construction work. Triple J somehow maintained the discipline of the many different players involved and completed the entire project in a completely reasonable time frame and budget. Although we could visit and oversee the construction process only occasionally because we live out of state, Jamie kept us well informed with pictures and phone updates. Joyce kept us up to date with meticulous records accurately reflecting the nature of the work each month. Jamie accommodated our design changes cheerfully, instantly, and fairly. He faithfully executed the detailed plans provided by the architect, and several times suggested improvements that proved to be unquestionably correct. He objectively presented design choices along the way and looked out for the best and most economical ways to proceed where they were to our benefit. I trust both his judgment as a builder and his integrity as a business partner.
When we took possession of the house we could find virtually no “punch list” items that Triple J needed to address. Jamie and Susan and the rest of the crew had obviously already been through the house with a fine tooth comb and had addressed any and all of the items that most of us might have overlooked as the work was completed. It was, in every respect, a first class job from start to finish. I don’t expect ever to build another house, but if I did there is no doubt I would come back to Triple J--without any hesitation.

I would like to recommend Triple J Construction as your home builder. We recently moved into our new home. The quality surpasses our expectations. The attention to detail and the quality of material is secret to a well-built home. From the beginning, straight stem walls, framing, and tight insulation showed us that Jamie, Susan and the whole team cared about their project (it would later become “our” home, but Triple J treated our home like theirs).
The entire team is easy to work with. Jamie listens to your ideas and concerns. Susan makes sure Jamie remembers by keeping notes on our discussions. All the crew is willing to show you what is going on at the time. And Joyce keeps track of the bank draws, carefully preparing reports and explaining what will be paid, when. Her “Homeowner Manual” which she compiles during the building process will be much appreciated in the future.
For Terri and me, if we ever built another house, Triple J would be our choice.

This testimonial is written for those seeking a competent, professional and, above all, an honest builder.
Having never built a custom home before the process, by and large, was smooth and a very positive and friendly experience with Jamie and Susan Johnston. Our intention was not to build a huge house with lots of square footage but to create a custom home with many elegant and personal details. They listened.
Triple J came through and added many features to our home that exceeded our expectations. Also, both Jamie's and Susan's experienced recommendations to make our own plans even better made for a showcase house. I would recommend that you listen to their suggestions for a better and more beautiful end product. They were skilled at problem solving both in the planning stages as well as during the construction phases.
Triple J has managed to gather together a full set of outstanding subcontractors I believe because they have earned their trust and respect. We have offered to Jamie and Susan to open up our beautiful home to their clients to see for themselves what they are capable of. We cannot thank you enough.
Sincerely, Mike and Beata

Voluntary testimonial for Triple J Construction
Triple J Construction -- Jamie Johnston, Susan Johnston, Mike Johnston, and Joyce Barlow -- and the entire crew were incredible! Having them build our dream home was one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives.
Two years ago, we decided that when our youngest son, who was then a junior in high school, would go to college, we would move from New Jersey to Moab. We had been vacationing in Moab for a month every summer for almost fifteen years and we loved it -- so it was finally time for us to make Moab our home. There were few houses available so we bought land that gave us a wonderful view of both the Moab Rim and the La Sal Mountains. Having no idea about building a house, now all we needed was someone to understand our vision and build our new home.
We asked around about builders and everyone, including the bank providing our loan, said that we should use Jamie and Triple J. Everyone said that Jamie was honest, experienced, would bid our project fairly, and would come in on budget and on time. We were a little concerned about choosing someone without interviewing anyone else but when we met Jamie we were convinced. He understood our vision for the house and without seeing any plans he knew exactly what we were trying to accomplish.
From that very first meeting through the entire building of our home, Jamie and everyone were amazing. Jamie was meticulous about the quality of the work, conscientious, attentive to details, and concerned that everything was the way we wanted. When Jamie said something was going to be done it was done, and the building of the house progressed without any delays.
Jamie and Susan were always available to discuss the house with us and we spent many hours planning and refining our home with them. Susan was extremely knowledgeable and had great ideas about the interior, helping with the paint, fireplace, cabinets, fixtures, and everything that needed to be in and outside the house.
Mike, Jamie’s brother, was wonderful and great to work with as well. He was highly skilled, the quality of his work was impeccable, and he was always available to help us think through various technical aspects of the construction. The entire crew was terrific and all highly competent. Joyce, Jamie’s sister, always warm and caring, managed all the paperwork and helped us understand the budget, the draws, and the bank process.
The highest compliment we can give Jamie is that he cared, truly cared, about our home and about us. This was not another project but it really was someone’s life and dream he was helping to build. On certain days we would come to the house and see Jamie, or meet him at the office, and he would say that he had thought of something and constructed it in the house but if we did not like it he would remove it. Invariably, every time this happened he was right. Whether it was shaping the windows to maximize our view, suggesting moving the garage so as to add another room, adding arches to the doorways, reframing a door, or changing the entrance to the house, his suggestions were always right and always enhanced our home and our vision.
No, we are not being paid to write this testimonial and no, we are not related to Jamie and Susan, although we are honored to now consider them to be our friends. We have walked many people through the house, some of them considering using Triple J, and everyone has been impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of our home. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jamie, Susan, and Triple J and cannot thank them enough for all they have done to make our dream come true. If you are considering having them build your house we would be glad to speak with you about our experience and show you the wonderful home they have built for us.

Our experience with Triple J has been extremely positive for several reasons.
First, they have excellent quality control. Every detail in each room is done with a high degree of precision.
Second, they are a very easy team to work w ith. Jamie is the one who coordinates every detail of the construction work. If there is any phrase that describes him best, it is obsession with detail. Susan is superb and very knowledgeable at discussing interior choices and translating them into a finished product. This combination of Jamie and Susan is probably the most outstanding aspect of Triple J.
Third, due to almost daily communication with Jamie and Susan, we were able to incrementally put together a beautiful home while living several thousand miles away in Alaska, with occasional visits to Moab.
Fourth, their system of initial bid estimates and very detailed monthly billing gave us step by step knowledge of the financial outlay as each aspect of the construction was completed. There was never any question about hidden costs or cost overruns.
Fifth, we thought that each and every individual who worked on our home was very skilled in his or her area of expertise. They genuinely took pride in the work they were performing.
Lastly, Jamie and Susan really listened to us when we were describing our dream home and made numerous practical suggestions along the way (some of which lowered costs) to help us achieve our ideal.

We would recommend Triple J Construction to anyone considering home upgrades or contemplating a new home when moving to the Moab area as we did.
During the construction phase, many changes to the original plans were requested and made with little impact to our completion schedule. In most cases, these were done during phone conversations. Jamie's oversight and experience made these requests easy to do. On a few occasions, he was even able to recommend alternative solutions to a concern that we hadn't considered. These recommendations wound up meeting our needs and saving us money as well. We were also very pleased when our home was finished on time as promised.
After living in our new home for 2 months now, we are extremely satisfied with the quality of construction. I can be fairly picky about the way things are done and I'm comfortable saying that the workmanship in our home has exceeded my expectations in all areas. This can only be accomplished by a contractor having the best sub-contractors working for him as well. I have found this to be the case in the Moab, Utah area. With this in mind, we continue to use Triple J Construction to complete additional work including sidewalks, fencing and landscaping.

To anyone considering using Triple J:
We selected Triple J Construction to complete a substantial upgrade on our Moab area home, including 3 room additions, remodeling/upgrade on the exterior, landscape reshaping and restoration work, and some infrastructure upgrades.
We found it a great pleasure working with Jamie and the staff at Triple J. Our needs were met and hopes for the outcome exceeded. What impressed us most was the attitude of the Triple J staff to do all that was needed to make the job look right, be complete, and serve our purpose. This included offering suggestions, jumping right in on any added items for the project, and being extremely fair on any additional costs. With some contractors you feel any changes that inevitably are needed on a job become a license to gouge the customer. Not so with Triple J.
Jamie used sub-contractors only where needed, and they were always well qualified. He maintains good relationships with his sub-contractors and with County authorities, making navigation through the project friendly and efficient. We could not be on-site at all times throughout the project, but were secure in the knowledge that Jamie was taking good care of our home.
We are extremely pleased with the quality of work, timely completion of the project and have had many wonderful comments from friends and family on how the finished job looks. We highly recommend Triple J. Please feel free to contact us with any specific questions. DaveTheChemist@verizon.com

To whom it may concern:
When it came time to build our home, we researched all the general contractors in the Moab area and talked to as many people as possible about their past experiences. One name was continually mentioned from our good friends to our loan officer at the bank to acquaintances in the grocery store: Triple J Construction.
So, we scheduled an appointment with Jamie and Susan and immediately understood why everyone was singing their praises. Jamie is extremely knowledgeable about construction and Susan knew all the right questions to ask to really get at what we wanted. We were included in every decision, not just finishing details. Everyone at the Triple J Construction office was friendly and professional. Most importantly, our house was finished on time and at budget. Jamie's craftsmanship and attention to detail is prevalent through-out the entire house. In the unlikely event something wasn't the way we wanted it (the wrong type of window was originally installed in the kitchen) Jamie immediately corrected the matter at his expense.
It's been 3 years since we moved into the custom home Triple J built for us and almost daily we mention to each other how happy we are with our new home -not just a house, but thanks to Triple J Construction, a real home.

When my wife and I wanted to build our home in Moab, I talked to many potential contractors in the area, including subcontractors. I visited job sites of these potential contractors looking at the quality of the work, how clean the job site were etc. I talked to other customers who had work done by these contractors. Jamie and Susan at Triple J worked through this process giving me ideas on my project, budgets, timeline, and referrals of past customers. I then choose Triple J. because they were the only ones who I felt comfortable with building my home.
After the process of building my home, I could not be happier. I wanted some custom things done that were not originally planned. This was done fairly with no hidden costs. Our home came in with no surprises on cost or timeline. The quality of work was unbelievable. Any warranty issues were handled timely. I would definitely use Jamie and his family again.

When I made the decision to build a home in Moab Utah, 400 miles from my current location, I had no idea how difficult the task would be. I feel fortunate to have been introduced to Jamie Johnston, Triple J Construction, who was able to bring together all of the necessary construction components to get the job done. Jamie and I developed a good working relationship and friendship over the past five years. I would recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for a competent and honest contractor.

People
often talk about how stressful it is to have a house built. It doesn’t have to
be that way. Triple J Construction made it easy for us, completing the job in
three and one-half months, even though we lived 350 miles away during
construction. We highly recommend this construction company which has a great
reputation in the Moab area.
This company not only has Jamie Johnston as the head of the company, but he has his wife, Susan, who helps with all the ordering of doors, windows, lights, choosing colors, etc. She is wonderful to work with. In addition, Joyce, the secretary manages the monthly draws with our bank. Having the three individuals “make it all happen” helps things go very smoothly in the construction process.
One of the things we really appreciated was that we were encouraged to come to the construction site to make decisions at crucial times. Making changes was never a problem and if we wanted to upgrade we could, but most often changes were made which did not involve any increased cost. The budget, in the end, was $5,000 over the estimate and those costs were because we made upgrades. There were no charges for other changes which were not upgrades.
I would not only recommend Jamie Johnston as a builder, we wouldn’t use anyone else. He is currently building our garage, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else do it. He is honest and ethical and has high standards of workmanship.

Working with Triple J as
our contractor was a pleasure. We had never built a home before and weren’t
sure what to expect from the process. Jamie and his crew immediately put us at
ease. They were great to deal with, especially when we had questions and frequently
offered creative solutions to address our concerns. They completed our project
on schedule and on budget. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of
workmanship in our new home and would not hesitate to recommend Triple J to
anyone considering building a new home.

I have never written such a letter before, but feel you sincerely deserved this one. This letter of appreciation and referral can never express how I truly feel. You did such an awesome job building my home to my specifications. Each change/modification was met with extreme understanding on your part.
I have never had a house built and finished when the contractor said it would be done, except for you. I even worked for a large home builder in Denver and they didn't meet their due date. That says a lot for Triple J Construction in my book.
Warranty work, in my opinion, is the most important part of a home builder’s responsibility and you have exceeded in this area with me. You have a great group of men working for you.
Jamie, thank you for all that you have done and still do for me and my home.

Johnston who owns Triple J Construction built our home in 2007. He is a
great builder. I can't say enough
positive about him or his crew.
I was able to pick out my plans and make some adjustments to better fit our needs, with Jamie guiding us every step. He built our home in less time then he said it would take. He let us pick out all of our finishes and helped us stay within our budget. At times, my Cadillac taste didn't fit in with our budget and he informed me ahead of time what changes would have additional costs so we could make an informed decision. Even the bank we used for our loan said it was a pleasure to work with Jamie. This was the first builder loan they had done with Triple J Construction and made mention they were impressed as well.
This is an excellent company to work with. I have a beautifully built home that is worth more now than when we built it. If I decide to downsize when our children are raised and moved on, I would certainly re-hire Triple J Construction.
Thanks Jamie for all you’ve done,
