Meet Jonathan
Hi, I’m Jonathan — founder of GenNext Contractor. I started as a helper, became a journeyman, and realized I wanted to build something bigger: a company known for honesty, efficiency, and excellent work.
I love what I do, especially seeing the transformation when a project is complete. When I’m not on the job, I’m spending time with my wife and kids or traveling. Thank you for considering us — we look forward to helping bring your home project to life.
