J&R Homes LLC, North Liberty, IA J&R Homes is a custom home builder in the greater Iowa City area. We work with clients from beginning to end, helping them navigate the building process. President/Managing Partner • Entrepreneurial spirit led to the development and formation of J&R Homes LLC. From my own experiences, and speaking with many in the community, it was clear there is a need for custom home builders. There are many people that are not satisfied with the cookie cutter developments, or the same generic house occupying every corner of our neighborhoods. Thus, J&R Homes was born! Specializing in building custom homes for those not satisfied with existing inventory, or those that just want to design/build their own home. • We offer customers an opportunity to design their own home from the ground up. Walking them through every stage of the building process. From design, to drawing plans, to picking out materials, we help the customer navigate what many view as a stressful process. • Manage the scope and budget of a project
