About US

Testimonials from our Clientel: “Our experience with J Johnston Design & Remodeling LLC was all first class. We were impressed with the great customer service and the quality of our finished product. Our third remodel project and the best one by far.”  Mr. & Mrs. James Brodie – Columbia, SC “From beginning to end I was pleased with the attention to detail and care for my property. The staff of J Johnston D&R LLC went out of their way to assist my family even carrying in the groceries! I look forward to our next project planned for next spring.”  Jerry Stevenson – South Congaree, SC “After remodeling several homes, it was a joy to find Jeff and his crew. We found it very convenient to make one stop (his office) where we were able to look at plans, product and material samples, and even color schemes without having to travel all over town. Everything we needed from foundation to finish painting was handled in this one stop shop. They even provided decorating assistance and Sarah, was great at helping us pick just the right fixtures.  We’ll be back!”  Mrs. G. H. Lanier – Columbia, SC “We chose Jeff Johnston to install hardwood flooring in our kitchen and dining room after reviewing his quote and references. We were not disappointed as he did a fantastic job on our flooring and even stepped in to perform some repairs to fix some major flaws left in our counter tops installed by another company at no charge. We made the right choice.” B. Sharon – Columbia, SC "I was left holding the bag by an unethical contractor who walked off and left my job unfinished after taking more money than the job should have cost. After weeks of searching for someone to help; a coworker encouraged me to call J Johnston Design & Remodeling. Jeff came right out and was genuinely sympathetic to my position. JJD&R finished my job and salvaged my family’s dream of a great sunroom."  Mr. Broome – Irmo, SC Our Company J.
