Completed Special Projects

Our special (smaller construction and renovation) projects are located all across Elkhart County and the surrounding communities. 

 "We have been very impressed with DJ Construction.  Our project was totally 'inside,' and we continued to hold regular church services while our project was ongoing.  The workers did a wonderful job of keeping the construction area safe and clean.  From the very first meeting all the way through, we felt DJ was a strong ally in getting things done the right way.  Lon (Roth) was excellent to work with and we value the relationship we now have with DJ and the subcontractors."
