our core values
Safety
Transparency
Transparency
The safety of our employees and the traveling public near and around our worksites is obviously of utmost importance. Every job has a Safety Plan from which we do not deviate. The components of each Safety Plan include detailed staff training, comprehensive walk-throughs with building owners/management, best-in-class protection and signage for affected common areas, and continued compliance with all federal, state, and local safety rules and regulations.
Transparency
Transparency
Transparency
Our door is always open to our clients. Whether it’s a question about an estimate, the Safety Plan, proposed schedule, installation, or equipment, we share information openly and completely. JMJ is known for its transparency, and we are proud that our constant communication before, during, and after projects has helped reduce project-tracking costs for many of our clients. Our theory is when you are honest, you have nothing to hide.
Trust

Trust and integrity are everything in this business. We strive to build trust in both our clients and our community through relationships based on honesty, authenticity, and frankness. Without trust there can be no successful business relationship, and we are so proud of our dozens of repeat clients who return to JMJ because, "they do what they say they are going to do, and they do it on time."
