I understand CJS will use this information to prepare for our first conversation. CJS will not sell or share my information. I'm comfortable being contacted by phone, text, or email as I indicated above.

Thank you — we'll be in touch.

Your project details are with the CJS team. We read every submission personally and you'll hear back within one business day.

Confirmation by text

A short note from CJS confirming we got everything — usually within the hour.

First conversation

A 20-minute call to walk through your vision, budget, and lot. No obligation.

Lot walk & sit-down

If it feels right on both sides, we meet at your lot and start putting numbers on the table.

Step 1 of 5

Talk directly to the builder.

Your first call isn't with a sales rep. You'll speak with CJS — the person who'll be on site through your build.

We respond within 1 business day.

Every submission gets read. Most get a personal text or call by end of the next business day.

No obligation, no pressure.

The first conversation is to see if we're a fit. We turn down jobs that aren't right for either side.
