  • "From beginning to end, our renovation with J9 HOMES was a 5-star experience. It began with a meeting with the boss, Janine Starr (AKA “J9”), to describe the process --- a large adventure into the unknown for us, including moving out of our house! Her project managers and Director of Construction are stellar organizers who scheduled dozens of contractor visits in proper, highly complex sequencing. The subcontractors Janine uses are all top-tier, which minimizes contractor return trips to get the job done right. We ended up with a very rewarding renovation that went beyond our imaginations at the beginning and that we (and many of our guests!) have acclaimed as “Architectural Digest” quality results of beauty, innovation, and functionality. We would highly recommend J9 HOMES to anyone thinking of doing home renovations."

  • "I have been working with Janine for over a year and am now on my third project with her. Our home and outdoor spaces have been transformed! Janine has exceptional vision and the ability to execute against that vision. What I love most about working with Janine is her communication, creative problem solving and her commitment to client satisfaction. What started as an outdoor and bathroom remodel has rolled into a full house remodel and I love every inch of it!"

    - CC, Riverplace

  • "We've always had a great experience working with Janine. Her subcontractors have always done a great job and were quick to fix any issues that arose. They have a lot of experience in doing substantial renovations as well as high-end new construction, and their quality has been exceptional. We've referred to multiple friends also."

  • “Janine was a dream to work with on my remodel. She took my vision and helped enhance it to make the spaces even more functional. While the work was being done, I was living in Houston, so the remodel communication and decision making was done primarily via email and text. Janine did a wonderful job keeping me in the loop as to progress and responding to my questions quickly. She also ensured the house was move-in ready when we arrived. I highly recommend her and J9 HOMES!”

  • “We have completed three massive remodels with Janine. I wouldn’t work with anyone else and refer her often to friends. We love working with her, her team and her trades.”

  • “I can't say enough good about Janine and how hard she works and how attentive to details she is. Our first project with her included a full kitchen remodel, removing load-bearing walls, two bathrooms, replacing most of our light fixtures, new flooring and wood stairs. She did a fantastic job coming up with the bid, managing the budget and communicating with us promptly when needed. Then we hired her for our lake house, where we basically re-did everything from top to bottom. I strongly recommend Janine for any project, big or small!!”

    - LW, Circle C

  • “We absolutely love what Janine did with our home. An outdated kitchen area that was cramped and uninviting was transformed into a beautiful open space that blends perfectly with the adjacent living area. Janine was wonderful to work with. She is not only good on the contractor side, she has a fabulous eye for design and provided useful design insight. She communicated routinely during the process and was quick to respond to any questions or requests. The quality of the workmanship was top-notch. I felt like Janine took personal pride in my project as if it was her own home. We couldn’t be happier.”
