Founder Desiree Johnson started Justin Thyme Homes out of personal experience and frustration with the typical contractor approach.
“I’ve been building homes for myself and my husband for about 20 years, and after a bad experience with a contractor 10 years ago, I used my business background to start Justin Thyme Homes,” Johnson said. “I wanted to create something different in this industry—more transparency, dependability and communication homeowners don’t usually get.”
What kind of remodels does Justin Thyme Homes do?
Justin Thyme Homes specializes in large-scale renovations, new builds and home additions, focusing on projects that transform entire homes rather than small repairs. These projects typically take between four to six months to complete.
These can include:
- Knocking out walls to create open concepts
- Redesigning existing spaces for best flow and maximum re sale value
- Kitchen and bathroom redesigns
- Plumbing upgrades
- Complete electrical rewiring
- Flooring replacement
- Window installations
- Custom cabinetry and countertop selection
- Room additions and and new builds
What makes Justin Thyme Homes different?
Justin Thyme’s business model is different from industry norms. The company only takes on four to five homes at a time, ensuring that each site gets constant attention.
“Most contractors spread themselves too thin. I never want a house sitting idle for weeks,” Johnson said. “My projects finish faster and smoother because I focus on fewer homes in a small radius and I keep my crews consistent.”
Another hallmark of Justin Thyme’s approach is radical transparency.
“When you’re spending this much money, you deserve to know where every dollar is going,” Johnson said. “We provide a line-by-line breakdown of total project cost within eight days of the first consultation.”
There are no markups on materials and no change order fees. If a client chooses a less expensive material, the savings go right back to them.
Scheduling is equally important. Justin Thyme Homes provides clients with a clear, week-by-week construction timeline so they know what to expect and when. This helps homeowners plan around the renovation and avoid unwelcome surprises.
