Our Services

At L & J Contractors we do one thing exceptionally well: we build and remodel homes the right way — with solid craftsmanship, clear communication, and the kind of care you’d expect from a local builder who’s been part of this community for nearly three decades.

Whether you’re building a brand-new custom home on your land, looking at one of our homes for sale, or ready to expand or update the house you already love, Larry and Jon will treat your project like it’s their own.

New Custom Homes Built on Your Land – Exactly the Way You Want It

We specialize in custom homes built on your property throughout Putnam County and the surrounding Upper Cumberland region.

Bring us a set of plans, a magazine picture, a rough sketch, or just a clear idea of how you want to live — and we will help turn it into a well-built home that fits your lifestyle and your land.

What you can expect: • Full design and plan assistance if needed • Careful site preparation and foundation work • Quality framing, insulation, and exterior finishes • Thoughtful interior details and finishes • Regular updates and direct access to Larry and Jon throughout the build • A home built to stand the test of time

We have helped dozens of families — including many who relocated from out of state — create the exact home they had been dreaming about.

Homes for Sale Quality Spec Homes Ready for You

In addition to pure custom builds, we periodically construct speculative (spec) homes that are available for purchase.

These homes are built to the same high standards as our custom projects and offer a faster path to move-in for buyers who want a new home without the full design process.

Home Remodeling & Additions Transform the Home You Already Own

Not every project starts from the ground up. We also handle large-scale remodeling and home additions for homeowners who want to improve or expand their existing house.

Common projects include: • Kitchen and bathroom renovations • Whole-home remodels • Room additions and second-story additions • Outdoor living spaces and porches • Structural improvements and updates

We approach remodeling with the same care and attention we give new construction — careful planning, clean job sites, realistic timelines, and craftsmanship that lasts.

Why Homeowners Choose L & J Contractors

Local Ownership That Matters Larry and Jon have been building together for over 28 years. Cookeville is home — not just a job site. When you call, you talk to the owners.

Honest Communication & Pricing We give straightforward answers, realistic timelines, and clear pricing. No surprises, no high-pressure sales tactics.

Proven Track Record with Relocating Families. We regularly guide out-of-state buyers through the entire process of building in Tennessee while they are still living elsewhere. Many of our clients have never even seen their lot until the home was nearly finished.

Quality That Stands the Test of Time We build homes the way we would want our own families to live in them — solid construction, attention to detail, and materials chosen for performance, not just the lowest bid.
