An 81 year old tradition that spans three generations is quite a heritage. Jeb Breithaupt is the third generation to remodel and build homes in the Shreveport / Bossier City area. His grandfather arrived here in 1927 with a bag of masonry tools to begin the business. His father Joe began building and remodeling in 1953. Jeb grew up in the building industry taking over the business in 1983. Jeb has a Bachelor of Architecture degree and an M.B.A. from LSU in Baton Rouge. GEAUX TIGERS!
ABOUT JEB BREITHAUPT
Mr. Breithaupt (pronounced Bright-Up), and the firm bearing his name, are end points of a non-traditional career path. During his high school years, where his focus was on art, he worked in his father's contracting firm drafting plans and being a laborer on construction sites. Jeb has been designing house plans since 1971.
Jeb earned a degree in Architecture and a Master of Business Administration degree at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge in 1980 and 1981. While all of this was in progress, Jeb began to create copper plate etchings to produce prints, reflecting his love of Louisiana and its culture.
After marriage to Robin Gordon, Jeb and Robin moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue printmaking as his career. With six agents and sales in 45 states, Canada and overseas; he also had art shows, two of which were in New York City. By 1984, almost 9,000 of his etchings were in collections throughout the U.S. Today, he estimates that over 10,000 of his etchings, originals and reproductions, are in private collections.
The death of Jeb's father, Joe, in 1983 led Jeb to return to Shreveport to carry on a family business that started in 1953. Jeb continued his love for art through design of unique custom homes. He now enjoys sharing his enthusiasm of his work in community college classrooms, offering classes on designing and building dream homes.
Jeb has judged residential projects nationally with Custom Home Magazine and the National Association of Home Builders. His construction firm was one of 15 firms in the country to receive a "Pacesetter Award" from Custom Home for outstanding customer service.

Did job exactly as stated and planned.
The quality of the work.
Very happy with the final results.
Communication was good despite the fact that this was a relatively small job for the contractor.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience with Jeb Design/Build and his fine staff. The organizational structure including the designer, production manager, and lead carpenter is a wonderful strategy and is very beneficial to the homeowner. He is fortunate to have such talented employees!
I have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so.
This is one of the primary reasons for using this company. They do what they say they will do. If there is a problem or concern, they work with you to make it right.
The production manager was responsive to our concerns and worked with us to correct any problems.
Every question or concern was answered in a timely and satisfactory manner.
We have a beautiful kitchen that continues to receive rave reviews from everyone who sees it.
From the very beginning of the project to the end, there were no hidden costs or surprises. They worked with us to get the best products for our money and tailored the project to meet our budget.
They worked with us at every level. If a problem occurred, they did everything possible to correct the issue and keep us on schedule. We always felt that we were appreciated as a customer and homeowner and were important! You can't get much better than that!
I must say that this is one of the attributes that impressed me so much. The entire office staff acts as a team. They are professional, friendly, timely, and follow through on their promises. They keep the homeowner informed at all levels. They make frequent appointments to discuss concerns, etc. They were never late to arrive for an appointment.
From start to finish, all members of the team, designer, graphic artist, production manager, lead carpenter, and helpers demonstrated knowledge and confidence in executing the planned kitchen renovation. Our lead carpenter was excellent in spotting problems before they occurred and correcting the problem.
We were treated with respect and received courteous, professional services throughout the process. We were kept informed, and they worked to stay within our budget and complete the project in a timely manner. They followed through with their committments. They are a company you can trust and stand behind their word. We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with them. If there are any problems in the future, I feel confident that I can talk with them and that they will work to resolve any issue.
Our designer, Teaya, she is absolutely wonderful. GREAT communicator.
I am most satisfied with the design. It is fabulous and looks tremendous. I was also very happy with how the project manager took the hassle off of me by taking care of everything and it does look beautiful.
IT WAS A FUN AND EXCITING EXPERIENCE AND I AM SO GLAD I CHOOSE JEB. THE ENTIRE STAFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL.
I was very satisfied with the way they did things.
I would highly recommend anybody. They did a great job.
The fact that they did what they said they would do. No surprises.
They did not fall short on any expectation. Right on the money.
I was most satisfied with the carpenters. They worked non-stop. They came over to get the job done. I was really impressed with their workmanship.
Above and beyond.
Excellently.
