Building a new home and returning to deal with work after move-in both feature in Jahnke Construction's customer accounts. The company describes itself as a family-owned Holden general contractor, owned by Fernando Jahnke, offering custom homes, additions and remodeling in Worcester County. Its stated service area includes Worcester, Rutland, Paxton, Shrewsbury and surrounding towns. A customer writing on Google in May 2024 described buying a newly built Jahnke home in Rutland that March. They said agreed post-closing work was completed promptly and with care, and Fernando answered questions after they moved in. An October 2025 reviewer also described a home built by the company, praising the cabinet and closet space, upstairs laundry and spacious entryway. That customer said the contractors responded efficiently when something arose after move-in. The work also extends to existing houses. In a December 2025 Google review, a homeowner said Fernando installed a French drain to resolve exterior flooding that led to basement remodeling. They praised the handling of budgeting, permitting and subcontractor coordination. A June 2025 customer described installation of three egress windows; after water got in, the team returned the next day to add a strip at the entry point, and the reviewer reported no further issues. Timing and communication come up in dated accounts of smaller and larger projects. A January 2026 Google reviewer said Fernando explained the design process, price expectations and timeline, met the promised schedule and returned missed calls. In October 2023, another customer said a deck-frame reinforcement was finished within the quoted timeframe and price. A May 2022 Houzz reviewer described a whole-kitchen remodel completed in one month, praising the team's accommodation of their needs and approach to solutions. Google lists a 5-star average from 17 ratings, while Houzz lists 5.0 from nine. The BBB gives the company an A+ grade. Jahnke Construction's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and Fernando Jahnke Moreira's Massachusetts construction supervisor license is active.
Fernando is a great builder. From the start, he was able to walk us through the design process and was very transparent about what to expect from a price, process, and timeline standpoint. Not only did he meet his timelines, but was also available anytime we had a question or concern. If he didn’t answer, he always called right back. A lot of times when people work fast, they sacrifice quality. With Fernando, it was speed and high quality. Any issues (which there weren’t many) were addressed right away. Not only was he a great facilitator, but he was a great person to work with. He took the time to talk to us and learn what we liked. He gave many good suggestions for upgrades along the way (which ended up being great decisions). All of his employees were very respectful and kind. I would highly recommend this builder.
We couldn’t be happier with Fernando and his crew. He is highly professional, communicates clearly, and does exactly what he says he will do. Fernando installed a French drain to resolve an exterior flooding issue that led to basement remodeling, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Budgeting, permitting, and coordination with subcontractors were all handled seamlessly. This is the best construction work I’ve experienced across any home I’ve owned. We plan to hire Fernando again next year for a home addition, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality construction work.
I would give them six stars if I could! I couldn’t have gotten better contractors to build my home not only did they go above and beyond when something occurred after we moved in they were efficient well mannered and sympathetic which in my book that’s really important. Not only that, but let me give the biggest thanks and shout out to his partner. For making this home, a true dream for a wife with kids. There was details in this home only a woman would think about. And in return made my life soo much easier! So much cabinet space, washer, and dryer upstairs with the bedrooms. Every room has so much closet space. the entryway, being so spacious. A master bedroom out of a magazine The list goes on!!! So if you’re looking for a contractor that values Family, most importantly know what they’re doing! And actually put love into what they’re doing. You’re at the right place.
I had a water infiltration issue in my home, and the Jahnke Construction team responded swiftly and professionally. They quickly diagnosed the root cause and carried out the repairs with efficiency and attention to detail. I’m very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and expert service.
Fernando and his team are very professional. They showed up and ended the day on the schedule they gave me. He put in 3 egress windows for me. Water snuck in the egress I called and they came back the next day to put a strip over the place where water got in. No issues since. I would defiantly work with Fernando and his teach again. Thank you for a job well done Fernando and his team.
