The S.J. Janis Company was established in 1951 by Samuel J. Janis as a heating contractor. Back in "the day" when central air conditioning wasn't common, the company also took on home improvement projects in the summer months. Eventually the window, siding and roofing projects took over the focus of the company. As the years progressed remodeling projects were added to the mix. The current president and owner of S. J. Janis Company, Gary Sannes, joined the company in 1977 as a design consultant, working closely with the company founder. In 1984 Gary purchased the company. "Design/build" was incorporated into the company philosophy in the early 1990's when all design services were brought in house. Since 1985 the average project size has increased from $5800 to the current $100,000 average through a concentration on larger scale, more architecturally detailed projects.
We are a design/build residential remodeler. Every aspect of a project from conceptual design through construction to final details is handled in house. Our projects include remodeling anything from entire kitchens and baths to whole house remodels, historic renovations and additions of all shapes and sizes. Average project size is approximately $100,000.
We have a "Client for Life" philosophy in our company. We understand that our clients have many choices when it comes to remodeling their home. Quality construction and innovative design are no longer enough. Our goal is to create an experience that exceeds their expectations. Having efficient systems, comprehensive processes and a dedicated staff then controlling the process from design through construction with constant communication is how we achieve this. Ultimately we strive to become our clients' "go to" source for all things with their home. We will do any project that our clients request or refer them to our extensive organization of trade associates to ensure the result is in their best interest. Our clients appreciate the level of service that we provide and understand our employees and trade associates treat their home as if it were their own.
Today, my reasons are twofold. I enjoy visiting with our clients at the project sites, observing the process and changes in their homes that will enhance their lifestyles. Secondly, I take pride in watching our employees grow professionally and personally while leading a balanced life.
We are at a threshold where we will need additional staff and larger office space to meet our growth in the next five years. We will be consistently marketing our client for life philosophy and the fact that we have completed all of our projects on time or ahead of schedule since 2005.
