J&R Construction Services, Inc. — design-build remodeling and handyman services in Lexington, KY
J&R Construction Services has been running out of 633 West Main St in Lexington since 2003. The company does design-build remodeling across the full residential scope: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, room additions, decks, and porches. They have professional designers on staff to handle the planning phase before construction starts, which is a meaningful distinction in a segment where most contractors hand clients off to a separate designer or skip that step entirely.
One specific credential worth calling out: J&R holds CAPS certification from the National Association of Home Builders. CAPS stands for Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist. It means their team is trained in barrier-free design, accessible layouts, grab-bar installation, no-step entries, roll-in showers, and wider doorways. For clients planning to stay in their homes as they age, or for families managing modifications for an older relative, that training addresses problems most general contractors aren’t equipped to handle properly.
Having designers in-house also changes how design-build works in practice. When the same team handles both design and construction, the conversation about budget, materials, and structural constraints happens in the same room from the start. Clients spend less time translating between separate design and contractor contracts, and change orders tend to be smaller because the design was already accountable to build reality.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
The CAPS certification is a specific, useful credential rather than a marketing badge. It reflects real training in accessible construction that matters to a meaningful share of homeowners. With 20+ years of design-build work and an in-house design team, J&R earns its place in this directory separately from the general contractor listings.
