Hey, I’m Jay.

I’ve been a “how does that work?” guy my whole life: taking stuff apart, figuring out how it worked, putting it back together and wondering how it could be improved.

That curiosity got me into the trades and eventually led to JayCo Roofing, JayCo Insulation, and JayCo Windows. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized my favorite part of the job isn’t the work itself. It’s what I learn from the people around me: the old-school roofer who has a trick for everything, the HVAC guy who can tell you exactly why your upstairs is 85 degrees, the manufacturer rep who explains why their product is built the way it is, or the tool that makes a job go twice as fast and twice as clean.

JayCo Builds is where I do my very best to share all of it: videos, interviews, how-tos, product breakdowns and honest talk about the right way (and the wrong way) to do things, from me and from the best pros I can find. Some of them are partners, some are friends and some are technically my competitors. I don’t care. If you do good work, I want people to know about you. And if you’re a homeowner here in Texas, I want to help you find those people.

So grab a coffee (or a beer), dig in, and nerd out with me.

I’m Jay, and this is my Co.
