John grew up in Dallas, Texas, sweeping his dad’s jobsites and working for him parttime as he grew older. John earned a degree in Construction Science from the University of Oklahoma and upon graduation, joined The Beck Group where he spent time in commercial healthcare construction. The desire for more of a personal connection within his projects led John to join his father in residential construction in 2010. In 2019, after almost a decade of building homes together as father and son, “The Ed Jarrett Company” became “Jarrett Construction” and John officially took over the helm. John loves the entire homebuilding process and believes his clients should enjoy it just as much. He sees the architect, designer, homeowner, and builder as a tight – knit team that when communicating effectively and strategizing in harmony, can create something extraordinarily special – a home. John is LEED certified and seeks to utilize green construction methods and materials on all Jarrett Construction homes, new and historic. He also has an intimate knowledge of what it’s like to work with Jarrett Construction – he and his wife became clients themselves in 2019, building their family home in Lakewood where they now live with their two sons and faithful pup Jack. John enjoys spending free time outdoors with his family, and standing Saturday morning donut runs with his sons.
