J Lee Design & Construction

Welcome to our home.. with a lot of love I’ve been making dreams come true over here.
I love what I do, I work hard, and I strive for excellence along with everyone on my team.
Building is just as much art as it is utility and I love the creative side.
Someone very special has helped me dream all this up and design it to life.
The point of this post is to let you know that there are no restrictions to what you can do in your space.

Big thank you to Matt and Molly for letting us convert this bedroom to a master walk in closet. Always great to work with you guys!

Happy Friday! This week we wrapped up a master bath remodel for Beverly. We really appreciate the opportunity to transform your space Bev and give it a little “bling.” 🙂
We removed the old walk in shower and replaced the space with a linen cabinet I built to go with the new vanity. We then removed the old tub and built a new walk in shower with body jets, custom bench, and lighting. Mary definitely didn’t disappoint with the tile work 🔥❤️ enjoy! Before pics at the end and have a great weekend!
We have availability if you’re looking to start your next project.
Thanks again Beverly ! You’re the best 🙂

Big thank you to Ally and Dave for letting us do this kitchen backsplash in their beautiful home last week! This has always been one of our favorite homes and kitchen remodels we’ve been able to do. You guys are awesome and we appreciate the business. This took about 2.5 days to complete and definitely made an already beautiful kitchen look even better.

Kitchen transformations are one of our favorite kinds of projects! Here’s one we completed earlier this year. If you’re thinking about upgrading your kitchen, we would be happy to do an estimate for you. Our goal is optimize your kitchen’s layout to maximize functionality and storage. Give us a call or send a message today!

This has to be one of our favorite built in projects ever… Heather and Chris’s library. I mean, who doesn’t dream of a space like this?! 😍📚🤩Complete with a rail for a rolling library ladder (not pictured) to reach the top shelves. Everything was custom built, including doors and shelves which are adjustable to customize the height of whatever is on display. Photo with Jason to show the scale of this beauty, which is approximately 16’ wide by almost 13’ tall! We have a great build video of it too that Jason *may* share!

It’s Tuesday, so we’re doing TWO ✌🏻 project posts today! This is Chuck and Kerrie’s kitchen. We took down the bulkhead, cabinets, & peninsula that were closing off the kitchen and changed the layout to increase counter space. We also continued the new flooring into their living room. Oh, and to keep the 2 theme going, check out the double drawer dishwasher! 🤩

Tania and John’s bath was in need of an update before they sold this home to move to on to their next one. Unfortunately, I did not get any before photos before the guys demoed, but just imagine many shades of outdated blue tiles. We hope this new, fresh bath will help them make an easy sale!

Beth and Kevin’s bath went from dark and enclosed, to bright and open. We were so glad we could help make this a safer, more functional space. Video coming too!

Hi everyone! 👋🏻 We hope you’re enjoying your Labor Day holiday weekend. Luckily, we do have the day off today and thought we’d share what we’ve been working on these past several months. Lots of baths and a couple kitchens coming your way in the next posts! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This week we were able to finish up this 9’x9’ mudroom built in for Heather & Chris. We’ve really enjoyed working with both of them and dialing in the design and build which is honestly the funnest part of this business. Everything is hand made -the side panel, cabinet boxes, & doors. The pull out drawers and trim were purchased 🤫
This area started out as a built in closet that we demo’d to the subfloor then back laid the existing flooring to the built in.
Definitely love the blue paired with the inside maple and hardware Heather curated. We did some pull outs for Chris’s helmets, adjustable shelves across the cabinets, multiple hang bars, and a utility area on the opposite end.
We definitely appreciate their patience with this project as it presented several challenges we had to work thru and hope that they love it for yrs to come.

Hope everyone is having a great April. We wanted to share one of the baths we completed in February. Definitely love the style and colors. Big thank you to Hannah and Brandon for letting us do this for you. And even bigger shout out to Brandon who set all the fixturing after we completed demo, drywall, tile, paint. This bathroom was very outdated with an odd size whirlpool tube that we converted to a walk in shower.

This next month and a half we’re in our favorite neighborhood and last week we got to do a really fun wainscoting project. Big thank you to Heather and Chris for letting us do this for you. This week we’re building and installing some gorgeous mud room built-ins.
Enjoy ❤️

March was absolutely incredibly busy and fun. We did 2 complete master baths at two different sites and flipped an entire house- kitchen, master baths, 1900sf flooring, all base trim, door casing, replaced 8 doors, converted 6 closet slider doors to French doors and installed 30 canless led lights throughout. Big thank you to Matt and Molly for keeping us incredibly busy and being amazing to work for !

Wow can’t believe it’s been a month since our last post! First of all happy St Patricks day!
The last month has been incredibly busy… we’ve completed 4 bath remodels and done an immense amount of work on an full home remodel.
We want to thank Matt and Molly for letting us get creative and update their bath! This one was very fun.
We removed the tub and did a curbless shower, really cool push button shower system with waterfall and rainfall function, led lights in the 60” wide full wall niche, built in linen pantry, and for the first time some recessed ceiling perimeter leds. There’s a lot of other fun touches like the aria vent in the floor that almost hides the vent.
We have another full bath that’s close to completion and we’ll post it later next week.
Enjoy.. before pics at the end…

Big big thank you to Katie and John for letting us build their media center and butler pantry. Both were very fun projects and had a great time working with them to design then build. The butler pantry was the first time doing arched doors and is one of my favorite and most meaningful projects I’ve done. Huge thank you for working with us and we hope you love both of them as much as we do.
The media center is 13’ wide and 9’ tall. Butler pantry is little over 4’ wide for size reference.
If you’d like to see the pantry build I’ll be doing another post with a link to it and other builds on our TikTok page.

Project number 2 this week. Thank you Sytease and Steve for letting us fix this for you. Previous contactor did the build but the quality was very poor. I fixed and redid the face frames(totally rebuilt the corner portion face frames bc it wasn’t even connected), removed all the doors/drawer fronts and squared/finished them properly and most importantly mounted everything and leveled it bc none of this was mounted to the wall. Little crown and fixed giant hole in the floor.Then everything got a couple coats of proper cabinet paint. Took 2 days start to finish.

Before pics at the end enjoy

Off and running for 2023 with some custom carpentry work at Matt and Kristen’s. Big thank you for letting us spend the last day and half with you doing this project.
Board and batten with a maple top cap stained in provincial. Left side is about 20’ long for reference.
I forgot the before picture so I’ve got a during the layout phase photo instead lol.

One more project this week, maybe 2 if it goes smooth 🤞 and I’m on to a run of bathroom remodels. Enjoy

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year and thank you all for a great 2022!
We will be making some major changes for 2023 and will be announcing that in the coming weeks.
In the interim, I do want to apologize if we have not gotten back to you on scheduling a bid or getting bids back to you. I have taken the operational side of the business over and will be personally handling all the communication and bidding going forward.
I have reached out to several people already but if you’ve tried to schedule a bid or haven’t received a bid and are still in need of service please let me know and I will get you taken care of. I apologize again for the lack of follow up and communication.
Jason

Happy Monday 🙂
We’re very proud to have completed this project we’ve been working on with Stephanie and Larry.
Have to say it was an absolute privilege to be able to bring the vision together for these two wonderful people. Stephanie contacted us many months ago and has been patiently waiting for us to get to her kitchen project. She’s actually been waiting for almost 30yrs for the remodel! And we feel very lucky to be the people she chose to make it happen.
I hope you guys and your 20+ grandchildren enjoy the space every holiday going forward ❤️
As always we put a lot of custom touches to the project like the hood vent, floating shelves, waterfall countertop - just to call out a few things …
Before and after at the end enjoy :)

What an amazing way to end our month of doing custom builds with our friends at Clairborne Greens. Big thank you to Shaundra and Oscar for letting us bring your dream to life! We hope you love it for years to come.
All hand built at the shop from flat stock. This built in is a little under 13’ wide and 8’ tall. We started the build Monday and finished install and finish work today.
We have a few small jobs to knock out Monday and then we’re on to our next kitchen remodel.
A few pics at the end of the raw unfinished cabinets as we were building at the beginning of the week 🙂

What a great feeling this morning to finally deliver this massive resin River table to Ranjani and Riley. Tables this size take an incredible amount of time to produce but we love the final product and couldn’t be more excited for them. The table is 7ft long and a little over 3 ft wide and over 2” thick. The wood species is spalted maple which started out as one massive slab.

Project 2 of 2 this week(technically 3 because we retiled a fireplace Monday 😂)

Another repeat client we love work for. Thank you Christine and Greg for letting us build these built-in cabinets for next to your fireplace. We hope you love all the extra storage and space for photos of your family. Everything was hand built down to the doors.

This week we completed 2 custom builds start to finish for 2 great clients.
Here’s the first one- big thank you to Kristen and Matt for letting us build this shiplap fireplace with a maple mantle. It was really fun project and we hope you love it!

This week we were back at our home away from home neighborhood in Xenia and did a nice pattern wall with chair rail. We also added chair rail and lower profile trim to the dining room and painted it white. Big thank you to Sangeet for letting us do this transformation for you!
A before pic and a couple pics of how we built the trim pieces at the end.

Next week we’ll be back in Claiborne Greens doing more carpentry projects ❤️
