This blog post draws Inspiration from the VoyageATL interview with Chris Glass and official company information to highlight the story and values of JWAC Construction Inc.  Thanks again to VoyageATL for the shout out. 

When we think about home renovations, we often focus on the "what"—the granite countertops, the subway tile, or the open-concept layout. But if you talk to Chris Glass, the founder of JWAC Construction Inc., you quickly realize that for him, it’s about the "why" and the "how" just as much if not more than the “what.”

Based in Sugar Hill and serving the greater Atlanta area, JWAC Construction has built a reputation for transforming kitchens and bathrooms. But what truly sets them apart isn't just the craftsmanship; it’s a century-old philosophy that guides every swing of the hammer.  


The Power of "Als Ik Kan"

If you look closely at JWAC’s mission, you’ll find a Dutch phrase: Als Ik Kan. Loosely translated, it means "As best I can." In an industry where many chase perfection or cut corners to meet a deadline, Chris and his team lean into this mantra of honesty. It acknowledges a simple human truth: while we may not always be perfect, we can always give our absolute best. This dedication to integrity has pushed JWAC from a small family-owned business started in 2009 toward one of Gwinnett County’s most trusted residential contractors.

From Small Projects to "Awesome" Spaces


JWAC Construction didn't start as a specialized remodeling powerhouse. Like many great businesses, it evolved. Today, they are specialists who take pride in helping homeowners "repair, refresh, or remodel" their biggest investment.  

While they handle everything from basement finishing to project management, their heart is in Kitchens and Baths. Why? Because these are the rooms where life happens. It’s where the morning coffee is brewed and where you unwind after a long day. JWAC’s goal is to make these spaces "awesome and functional," ensuring that every renovation adds both comfort and value to a home.  


A Process Built on Partnership

One of the most refreshing aspects of JWAC is their "Field Trip" approach. Chris and his team don't just send you a catalog; they walk through the process with you.

• The Connection: It starts with a conversation about your lifestyle and budget.

• The Field Trip: They join you at stone yards and cabinet showrooms to help you pick materials that fit your vision.  

• The Partnership: They prioritize transparency, using detailed estimates and regular communication to ensure surprises are kept at bay during the "demolition dust" phase.

Why Atlanta Trusts JWAC

The reviews speak for themselves. Clients consistently point to three things: professionalism, cleanliness, and honesty. Whether it's a "tub-to-shower" conversion or a full-scale kitchen overhaul, the team is known for treating a client's home with the same respect they would their own—right down to cleaning up at the end of every single work day.  

With an A+ BBB rating and membership in NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry), JWAC Construction combines the expertise of a large firm with the personal touch of a neighbor.


Your Next Adventure

Chris and the team often refer to a renovation as an "adventure." It’s a journey of transforming a house or space into something that did not exist before.  Isn’t that what an adventure really is, creating something that you did not have before.?  A memory, a reality.?  If you’re in the Atlanta area and looking for a contractor who values education, safety, and the "Als Ik Kan" spirit, it might be time to start your next adventure with JWAC.
