This post draws inspiration from the VoyageATL interview with Chris Glass and official company information to highlight the story and values of JWAC Construction Inc. Thanks again to VoyageATL for the shout out.
Understanding the "Why" and "How"
When considering home renovations, many focus on aesthetics like countertops and tile choices. But Chris Glass, founder of JWAC Construction, emphasizes that the reasoning behind decisions and implementation methods matter equally. Based in Sugar Hill and serving greater Atlanta, the company specializes in kitchen and bathroom transformations — distinguishing itself through more than technical skill. It's rooted in a century-old philosophy.
The Power of "Als Ik Kan"
The Dutch phrase "Als Ik Kan," meaning "as best I can," forms the heart of JWAC's mission. Rather than chasing perfection or compromising quality for schedules, the team embraces honest commitment. This principle has elevated JWAC from its 2009 founding as a family business into one of Gwinnett County's most respected residential contractors.
Evolution and Specialization
JWAC Construction wasn't initially positioned as a remodeling specialist. Through natural growth, the company evolved to focus on helping homeowners repair, refresh, or remodel their homes. While handling diverse projects from basement finishing to project management, the team's passion centers on kitchens and bathrooms — the spaces where daily living unfolds and families create memories.
Partnership-Driven Process
The company's "Field Trip" methodology distinguishes the client experience:
- The Connection: Initial conversations explore lifestyle and budget priorities.
- The Field Trip: Team members accompany clients to material suppliers for collaborative selections.
- The Partnership: Transparent estimates and consistent communication minimize surprises during renovations.
