Family-owned since 2009.
JWLuxe is the design-build studio inside JW Restores — a family-owned Indiana firm that has rebuilt, restored, and re-roofed houses across the central part of the state for fifteen years.
Built around the idea that design and construction belong in the same room.
JW Restores started the way a lot of Indiana contractors start — with a roof, a truck, and a phone number passed around after a hailstorm. Fifteen years later, the trucks are still out after every storm, but the work has grown with the houses that have asked us to do it: a bathroom, then a kitchen, then a full second-story addition, then the whole house.
JWLuxe is what that business has become for homeowners who want design and construction held in the same set of hands. The designers sit ten feet from the project managers. The crews that frame the roof are the same crews that hang the cabinets. Drawings get redlined in person. Nothing gets handed off.
It isn’t faster or cheaper than hiring a designer and a contractor separately. It is, in our experience, a lot less stressful — and the finished work is better.
Four principles that shape every project.
Drawings before decisions
Nothing gets built that isn't fully documented. Every project has complete architectural drawings, cabinetry shop drawings, and lighting plans before we pull a permit.
Our crews, not theirs
Our lead carpenters and project managers are on payroll and have averaged ten years at the studio. It shows in the joinery — and in the schedule.
Material honesty
We specify real stone from real yards, unlacquered hardware that patinas, millwork from local shops. Nothing that pretends to be something it isn't.
The long view
Houses outlast trends. We design for the version of you that lives in the house fifteen years from now — and for the next family that buys it.
Principals
A deliberate process, designed to keep you out of the middle.
Consult
We meet in your home, walk the space, and talk about how you live. No sales pitch, no quote yet — just a conversation and a set of questions.
Design
Plans, elevations, renderings, material boards, and a transparent budget range. You see the whole house before we break a thing.
Build & Install
Our in-house crews take over — carpentry, cabinetry, tile, trim, finish. Weekly walkthroughs, a single project manager, and a living schedule you can read at any time.
Reveal
Styling, photography, and a punch-list walkthrough. We stay involved through the first year for anything the house needs as it settles.
Josh and his crew were great to work with. They helped us with a bathroom renovation and did excellent work. They were reasonably priced, did quick work and had excellent communication. I'd definitely work with them again.
