"Transparency has always been my modus operandi in business, though many other business owners wouldn’t see it that way. I think that for there to be trust between a client and seller, there has to be direct, plain-spoken truths, regardless of the outcome. I’ve seen many clients walkaway from projects upset or, worst case, in litigation, due to non-transparent business practices that benefit the owners, and never the people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. I aim to right that wrong with every project I take on. With integrity."
Jacob S. Hollister, Owner
JSH&Co. Design and Build was formed in February of 2023 by Jacob Hollister of Cortland, NY. During this time, he was still working at custom home builder where he held positions as Kitchen Designer, Marketing Manager, 3D Designer, Draftsman, and Project Manager. All at the same time.
He worked at that builder for almost exactly 6 years before finally starting his own practice using what he learned, using the good and avoiding bad, to help clients make their dream projects come true.
Since then, he has owned and operated the business by himself, with help from close contacts from his previous roles to grow the ever expanding business.
About Us
Our mission is simple: Design Better Spaces. Through client-focused design meetings to reading the unreadable. Understand who you’re building for, before you understand what you’re building for them.
During our design process, we’re not happy until you’re happy. We’ll go back and forth on revisions until it’s perfect for you. During the construction phase we strive for client satisfaction in what we do, and always shoot for perfection.
We want our clients to be happy; not just at first, but through the entire project and even years past. We want our clients to come back to us for their future projects and recommend us to others not just based on our work, but based on our character. Almost all of our clients are return customers and we aim to maintain that statistic, by gaining new clients and retaining them for years to come.
Thank you for considering JSH&Co. Design and Build. We hope to be hearing from you soon, we’d love to see the project you have in mind for us.
