What the contractor actually does

Hiring trades one at a time versus one contractor who runs them

Any structural project draws on several trades: excavation or concrete, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, drywall and finish carpentry. You can hire each one yourself, but then you are the one sequencing them, checking that each stage is ready for the next, booking inspections and settling disagreements when one trade’s work gets in another’s way. A construction contractor takes over that role, along with the responsibility that comes with it.

With JACCO as your contractor, one licensed company holds the contract, the permit and the schedule. We set the order of work, bring each trade in when the job is ready for them, call for inspections at each stage, and keep the site safe and orderly in between. If something is wrong, there is no question about who fixes it. Tennessee contractor license #79477, insurance coverage and a BBB A+ rating stand behind that arrangement.

The model suits structural work of every size: an addition tied into an existing roof, a multi-level deck with a screened porch, a detached garage, or a house rebuilt from its framing. It suits smaller structural jobs too, such as reframing a sagging floor, replacing a rotted beam or rebuilding exterior stairs, where a permit and an inspection are still part of doing the work properly.

Why JACCO

Why one accountable contractor matters

The order of work is protected

Framing is typically inspected before insulation goes in, and rough-ins before drywall. When one contractor controls the sequence, nothing gets covered before it is approved, and nothing has to be torn out later to fix what was hidden too early.

Specialty trades answer to us

Electricians, plumbers and other licensed specialists work to JACCO’s schedule and under our supervision. You are not refereeing between companies; when trades need to coordinate, that conversation happens on our side of the contract.

Permits closed, records in order

A project is not finished until the final inspection passes and the permit is closed. We see every permit through to that point, so the work is on record properly for you and for anyone who buys the house after you.

“They also remodeled my bathroom, removing a big square tub and installing a tiled shower. Jonathon was very good with communication and he and his team were reliable and trustworthy.”

Is a construction contractor different from a general contractor?

In everyday use the terms overlap. Both describe a licensed company that takes responsibility for a whole project and manages the trades. People tend to say construction contractor when the work is structural or new, such as additions, garages and rebuilds, and general contractor for any project the company runs, including remodels. JACCO is a licensed general contractor and handles both kinds of work.

Why not hire the framer, electrician and plumber ourselves?

You can, and some homeowners do, but you take on the coordination, the risk of gaps between trades and often the permit responsibility. When one stage is not ready for the next, or something fails inspection, sorting out who fixes it falls to you. A construction contractor prices the whole job, manages the sequence and stands behind the result, which often saves time and avoids rework.

How do inspections work on a structural project?

The permit office inspects at set points, typically after footings are dug, after framing and rough-ins are complete, and at the end, with extra inspections for certain kinds of work. Nothing can be covered until each inspection passes. JACCO schedules them, meets the inspector on site, takes care of any corrections and keeps you updated as each stage is approved.

Can you take over a project another contractor started?

Often, yes. We begin by assessing what has been built, what was permitted and inspected, and what needs to be corrected before work continues. From there we write a scope for finishing the project, price it and take responsibility for the work from that point on. If the existing permit has to be transferred or reissued, we work through that with the permit office.

Is JACCO licensed and insured?

Yes. JACCO’s Tennessee contractor license is number 79477, the company carries insurance, and it has held BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since March 2026. Before you sign, ask us for the license details and a current certificate of insurance; it is a reasonable request to make of any contractor you are considering.
