"We trusted JW with a 100-year-old farmhouse and they did it justice. Beautiful results, and they kept us in the loop the whole way."

Whole Home & Old House Renovation
Some houses need more than one room. A 1910 farmhouse with a closed-off kitchen, a 1970s ranch with a failing addition, a main floor that has never had a coherent plan — JW Construction takes those as whole-home renovations.

The work, in plain terms
John has spent decades inside older Eastern South Dakota houses. The work can include a gut of the living spaces, an addition, new baths and kitchen, and the finish carpentry that lets original trim live next to new work without looking pasted on.
What's included
- A room-by-room plan and a phased scope if the budget needs it
- Structural coordination, additions, and opening load-bearing walls
- Kitchen, bath, and flooring as part of one sequence
- Finish carpentry, trim, and repairs that respect older houses
- Exterior updates when the shell is part of the same project
- Permits, inspections, and a single schedule you can follow
Why JW Construction
Why JW takes the whole house
The Petersons trusted JW with a 100-year-old farmhouse. They got a result that respected the house and a crew that kept them informed. That is the old-house standard here: do not erase the building, and do not disappear mid-project.
Phasing is available when a full gut is more than one season's budget. John would rather build a honest first phase than a thin version of everything.
You are not hiring a different company for the kitchen, the bath, and the addition. One scope, one crew culture, one person who answers the phone.
