A Family Business Building in Northern Virginia Since 2003

Who We Are

JK General Contractor is a family business. Jose Abrego, known to everyone as JK, owns the company, which was established in 2003 and has been building in Northern Virginia for over 20 years. JK is now bringing his sons, Jason and Kelvin, into the company. Our crew has been with us for many years.

We work out of a shop on Gum Spring Road in Chantilly, a short drive from most of the neighborhoods we build in.

Most of our work is outdoor living: porticos and covered front porches, screened porches and three-season rooms, decks, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and the walls and walkways that tie them together. We also pour concrete driveways. We are a general contractor, so one company takes responsibility for the whole project, from the drawings and the permit to the final inspection.

Our Crews

We keep the carpentry and the masonry in our own company. The crew that builds your project has worked with JK for many years.

• Carpentry: framing, decks, porch roofs, columns, trim and ceilings
• Masonry: pavers, natural stone, brick and block, seating walls and fire pits
• Concrete: footings, slabs, patio bases and driveways, poured with concrete from our sister company, Capitol Concrete

With our own trucks and equipment, we can carry a project from the first footing to the last cap stone without waiting on anyone else's schedule.

How did JK General end up with its own concrete company?

It grew out of a scheduling problem. As the company took on more work, getting a concrete truck on the day a footing was ready became harder, so JK bought a mixer truck of his own. One truck became several, and the business became Capitol Concrete, a volumetric concrete company in Sterling that now serves other contractors as well as our jobs. See capitolconcretedmv.com.

What a Class A License Means

Virginia licenses contractors in three classes. Class A is the highest, with no limit on the size of a single job or on how much work the company does in a year. Our license number is 2705135143, and you can look it up on the Virginia DPOR website.

How We Work

• One point of contact. One project manager stays with your job from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
• A firm written price. After we see the site, you get a price in writing, not a range.
• Permits and HOA approval handled. We draw the plans, file the permit and schedule the inspections, and we give your HOA what it needs to approve the project.
• Insured, with a warranty. We carry insurance, including workers' compensation for our crews, and every project comes with a two-year warranty.
• New work, not patch jobs. We build new porches, decks and patios and replace ones that have worn out. We do not take small repair jobs.

Where do we build?

Mostly within a short drive of the shop: Loudoun County, western Fairfax County and western Prince William County. That covers established neighborhoods such as Centreville, Herndon and Reston and newer communities such as Ashburn, Brambleton, South Riding, Haymarket and Gainesville. See Areas We Serve for the full list of towns.

What do we build inside the house?

Home additions, kitchens, finished basements, bathroom remodels and egress windows, and we build new homes. They make up a smaller share of our work than the outdoor projects, and we run them the same way: a plan and a firm price first, the county permit filed, licensed trades for the plumbing, wiring and heating, and every stage inspected. See Additions and Remodeling.

Brands We Use

• Composite decking: Trex, most often its higher-end Transcend line, TimberTech and Deckorators
• Railings: RDI railings, and aluminum railings with aluminum pickets
• Pavers and wall block: Techo-Bloc and Belgard
• Concrete: Capitol Concrete, our in-house concrete supplier

Why do homeowners call us back?

Because the first project usually leads to the next one. A family that has a deck built calls us a year later for the patio below it, or the screened porch, or the portico out front. Much of our work comes from those calls and from neighbors who saw the job. If you want to see how we compare, read why homeowners choose us.
