Who We Are<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nWe are a family owned and operated business located in beautiful Southern Illinois. The Jack family has deep roots in Southern Illinois. Our ancestors came here in early 1800\u2019s and settled in the Johnson, Williamson, and Jackson counties, and we have been here ever since. For more than 180 years we have made our living as farmers, welders, miners, pastors, engineers, carpenters, and businessmen. Our family line has served in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.\u00a0 We come from a long line and proud tradition of hard working Jacks.<\/p>\n

A father and two sons, we have been servicing the Southern Illinois community now for more than 50 years. We bring a wealth of experience to every project. Along with our extensive experience, we have a deep commitment to the complete satisfaction of each and every customer.<\/p>\n

Meet Butch Jack.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Butch has been designing and building homes for over 48 years. Ever since Butch was a teenager, he knew that he wanted to build houses. After high school he worked under a contractor for a few years, and then began his own home building business back in 1969. Not only did Butch build homes for other people during the day, but when his kids were still little, he built a few houses in the evenings and weekends for his family to then live in. As his business continued, he soon gained a reputation for building good solid homes and for providing excellent customer service. The company was then called the William A. Jack Construction Company (Butch is a nickname from childhood). When both sons joined the business in the late 1990\u2019s, the name was changed to Jack Home Construction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

With a love for serving people and making customers happy, Butch is the picture of motivation and drive. He is amazing at coming up with practical solutions in the face of building difficulties. Butch married his high school sweetheart, Deanna Jack, and has two sons, one daughter, and nine grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

Butch enjoys reading books, gardening, and tinkering in his shop with both wood and metal. These days he is gathering materials and toying with plans to build a greenhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n
