I appreciate their commitment to quality and look forward to working with them on my next investment project.

After experiencing significant challenges with a previous contractor, we turned to the JEP, Inc. team at Elite Rehabs for assistance with our rental property renovation. Their team stepped in to help get the project back on track, providing the support and expertise we needed during a difficult situation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does an owner’s representative do?
An owner’s representative works for you, not the contractor. We help define the scope, review bids, coordinate the work, check progress before payments are released and keep you informed with regular reports.
Do you replace my general contractor?
No. JEP manages and coordinates on your behalf. Licensed contractors perform the construction work, and we hold them to the agreed scope, budget and schedule.
Can you step in on a project that is already underway?
Yes. We start with a Project Assessment to understand the current scope, budget, schedule and contracts, then recommend how to get the project back on track.
What types of properties do you work on?
Our experience is concentrated in residential renovation and redevelopment, including rowhomes, multi-unit buildings and basement conversions.
How is pricing set?
Each engagement is scoped to the project. Request a proposal and we will recommend the right level of support after a short discovery call.
