for their ideas. We can tweak it to meet their requirements. Our Luxury series is for those who need to design something from scratch. We understand our customers’ budgets, their vision, and their aesthetics, then we blend all that together based upon our extensive experience.”
Expansive portfolio
The founder’ s degree means he’ s been heavily involved in the engineering of JDH’ s homes, integrating the knowledge and skill into designing a structurally sound product.“ One of our foundation contractors once commented that a cement truck could be driven over our floors, because that’ s how strong and secure the framing systems are,” Justin recalls.“ Our goal was to create a‘ squeakfree’ home! There’ s a maximum amount of clear span that we can put in our floor systems, as most of our homes have basements here in the Midwest, and many of our high-end customers want big open spaces without beams everywhere. Designing that product with different types of subfloor and floor joists allows us to incorporate a good, solid framing system into their home.”
Justin adds that one of the most important parts of the process happens before design even begins – helping clients identify the right homesite.“ The land matters just as much as the house,” he says.“ When the lot is right, we can design and engineer the home to take full advantage of the setting. We will soon be offering new homesites in Oakridge Estates in Loveland, for example.”
Creating over 400 custom homes in Cincinnati in the past 25 years, JDH has an expansive portfolio and is prolific for building basketball courts in homes throughout the city – completing over 30 different properties that featured courts in a basement or a side garage.
“ One of my favorite projects was for a customer who bought 130 acres with an 80-acre quarry, and he wanted to build a log cabin on the site,” highlights Justin.“ We built this amazing hilltop property using concrete logs and erected a slide for
his grandchildren that went from the top of the hill, all the way down to the lake. It
was a phenomenal project to be involved in, and the first log cabin style home we’ d built, so it was also a valuable learning curve. In addition, we’ ve been segueing the company into more modern designs, as many of the modern styles are beginning to show up in Cincinnati now. Over the past year, we’ ve been working on a four-story home in a community called Foundry Park in Oakley, which is a highly sought-after urban product. Cincinnati is a fast-growing city and it’ s fantastic to have this product in our portfolio.”
