The Construction Source

Jackson Homes Inc. is owned by Josh Jackson, who has a long history of working in construction. In fact, Jackson is a third-generation builder. Jackson started in the building industry with his dad. At six years old, he was cleaning job sites. At fourteen years old, he started shingling for his dad’s company, and he started framing at sixteen. It was only natural that he started his own contracting business at the age of twenty. He only had one employee at the time. This contracting business completed finishing work, decks, flooring, etc. By age 21 he framed a house with the current foreman of Jackson Homes Inc.– Jeff Atchison— and two other employees. Jackson explains that this was a significant moment in the history of Jackson Homes Inc. “After that,” Jackson says, “I started taking on more responsibilities as far as building inspections, permits, warranty jobs, ordering materials, etc. I was dealing with any of the job responsibilities for the entire company for my dad. He decided he wanted out of the spotlight, and I start Jackson Homes in October of 2008. A year or two later, I went out on my own. My dad when back to his own business and I built my own houses. So, we have two separate entities now.” While Jackson’s team started MAY 2021 “We wanted to do higher grade houses with higher grade materials. I wanted to gradually build up the quality of the houses using different materials and by having a different look. We started using faux stone or faux cedar shake. We made them look more futuristic instead of a box-style house.” Jackson notes.
