Our Story

JMG Custom Builders was founded on a legacy of craftsmanship and a passion for turning dreams into reality. Justin Goss, our founder and lead builder, grew up immersed in the world of construction, learning the art and skill of homebuilding firsthand from his father, who ran his own homebuilding business.

From an early age, Justin worked alongside his father, gaining hands-on experience in every aspect of construction—from concrete and framing to electrical, roofing, and finish carpentry. This comprehensive knowledge laid the foundation for his future as a skilled and innovative builder.

After earning a Bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University, Justin returned to the family business, further honing his expertise in building new homes. Over the years, he expanded his knowledge across all facets of construction, developing a deep understanding of how to create homes that are as functional as they are beautiful.

In 2010, Justin took the leap to establish JMG Custom Builders, focusing on renovations, remodels, and custom homes. Combining a wealth of experience with a commitment to innovation, Justin evolved the company into a full-service design/build firm, integrating advanced tools like Chief Architect software to deliver highly personalized designs and 3D visualizations.
