Where we come from:

JL Builders is owned and operated by John and Luke Barban, based out of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, at the center of beautiful Northern Ontario. After graduating from College and University, and starting out in their secure careers at “desk jobs”, John and Luke gave up on ordinary and followed their family tradition and love of carpentry to start building projects that they can be proud of!

In early 2009, they made it official, and JL Builders started making a mark in the Sault and area for quality workmanship, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction. Their goals are simple; to build an excellent reputation based on quality products that produce satisfied customers. This is not as simple as it sounds. For John and Luke that means a lot of hands on work, integrity and research. They test their products, utilize the newest and best technologies, and demand the best from their suppliers and sub trades.

JL Builders didn’t just happen overnight. The Barban family name has been associated with hard work, quality buildings, design innovation, engineering excellence, and business integrity for over 40 years. JL Builders are committed to doing the best job and offering the best service that they possibly can because this is what they are made of.

Cabinetry:

Our cabinet manufacturer Cuisine Idéale, has been creating kitchen and bathroom cabinets for more than 42 years. It’s this kind of expertise that allows us at JL Builders to create expert designs for every customer’s lifestyle, combining beauty with functionality. We have an outstanding selection of doors, cabinets, specialty trims, posts, and high quality finishes.

You know you’re getting the latest and best because we’re constantly monitoring the market for new design and technology. We strive to give our customers the best products; we use the best material quality, and we offer a limited lifetime warranty on all our cabinet components.

Quality built engineered homes:

We can guide you through the entire home building experience from start to finish. We help you to build SMART. Our engineered homes meet rigorous standards of excellence and are built in controlled atmospheres. For those of us living in Northern Ontario, this is a serious benefit when it comes to protection from the elements and especially in regards to timing issues due to our limited seasonal time frames.

We can provide engineered homes for every design as well as providing many models to choose from, or help you modify or customize any design that best suits your tastes or needs. As designers and expert tradesmen, we not only provide the engineered home package but we can provide all those details, enhancements or specialties that you need to finish your home the way you like it and to set it apart from any other. Foundations, basements, custom millwork, trim, staircases and final finishes are supplied and installed by our local expert JL staff to guarantee your satisfaction.

You will be pleased at the affordability of these engineered homes as well as the shortened project time frame. Once we have finalized plans and contract details, most homes projects can be completed in about 8 weeks from ground-breaking to moving in! That’s planning your home building project the SMART way!
