About JDW
Doug and Joyce formed JDW Construction in 2016 as he was transitioning out of the auto mechanics field. It was a natural transition for him and with Joyce’s career in real estate, they combined their experience and passion for new homes to form their company.
The name of the company stands for Doug’s initials (first name is John) but he jokingly says the “J” stands for Joyce! They acquired their first lot and began building the first house in the spring of 2017. They lovingly name most of their models after their grandchildren.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Clients Say
“Joyce and Doug Wilson are two of the best in the business. The best part about the whole process was that we never felt like clients working with a contractor. The way they communicated along with the frequency of communication (both over the phone and in person) made us feel like family with a shared goal. Leah and I are forever grateful to have had them build the perfect house for us and our family. Thank you Joyce and Doug for being the people you are and operating your business the way you do.”
“We are so happy that we found Joyce and Doug. From our initial meeting we knew that they were the builders for us. Their expertise and attention to detail made the whole home building process seamless and enjoyable (especially during COVID times). We absolutely love our beautiful new home. We highly recommend Joyce and Doug. They are wonderful to work with!”
“My wife and I had been contemplating downsizing from our large two-story house to something smaller and easier to maintain, we happened to stumble on this nice one-story three bedroom house built by JDW Construction Co., we were immediately struck by the wonderful layout and the quality of workmanship. We purchased the home as soon as we sold the old one, and we can both say we’re very happy with our decision. The open layout of the kitchen and adjoining great room with its beautiful fireplace have been perfect for even large family gatherings, the bedrooms are all very roomy too. The quality of construction is excellent and has brought many compliments from all our visitors. I will also add that the owners Joyce and Doug Wilson are a pleasure to work with, they’ve been very attentive throughout the process before and after the sale.”
“We started looking for home builders in the Culpeper / Madison area back in 2019. In April 2020, we found Joyce and Doug Wilson at JDW Construction, LLC in Culpeper and the story / construction of ‘One Tree Manor’ began. From the start, we were impressed with their team work, craftsmanship, attention to detail and their great communication throughout the process. We are a lifelong Realtor and a Contractor, and our standards were high, but they met or exceeded our expectations. Even with Covid19 restrictions and material shortages / delays, they had our new home finished in early November. We can’t thank them enough for their hard work and now a great friendship.”
“In July we took delivery of our new design/build custom home by JDW Construction, LLC. Working with JDW, Joyce and Doug, was a wonderful experience from the direction they gave on the architect, to the positioning of the house on the property and throughout the construction phase. Doug’s attention to detail was exactly what we were expecting. Sometimes things look good on paper and then there is realty in the field. Whenever there was something that needed to be addressed, Doug took the time to call, discuss via phone or on-site to ensure we were happy with any modifications needed. Throughout the work Doug managed all the sub-contractors very well and ensured at the end of the day the worksite was clean and ready for the next day’s activities. In working with Joyce with the interior finishing was also a great experience. Joyce pointed us to the cabinet vendors, carpet, granite, tile, hardwood, lighting and even the siding and shingle distributors. Joyce provided the guidance we needed which was a tremendous help in our decision making.
Our experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. This is truly a rare experience in today’s construction world. We would highly recommend them if we were to start all over again!”
