Jeff is simply amazing and I am so very glad someone recommended him to us! We have used him for multiple jobs from new build door installs, to banisters, to foundation plaster, and more.

If you need a handyman, Jeff is your guy. Can’t recommend enough!
If you’re looking for an excellent, honest, knowledgeable, and friendly handyman. Jeff of JB’s Construction & Handyman Services is the guy for you. My deck had begun falling apart due to the initial build being improperly done before I purchased the home and issues with the posts. Jeff stopped by, came up with a plan, and got me in on his schedule.
The work he did was excellent! Where before it would have been disaster to go out on the deck. I now have full confidence that it will last the rest of it’s normal life. The posts were replaced and now all joists actually have proper support to hold them to the frame. Fully supporting all of the deck. I truly can not recommend Jeff enough for his work and knowledge. I have some projects down the road that I look forward to working with him again.
I had a basement that needed a kitchen and a few other things done before renting it. It was an entry area through a garage and two big rooms. I contacted Jeff ay JB’s Construction & Handyman Services and he did an exceptional job. I would highly recommend him. Very professional and had some wonderful ideas that saved me money. Very easy to work with. Excellent and friendly workers. Fairly priced. All in all very satisfied and would work with him again. Give him a call.

Frequently Asked Questions: Basement Finishing in Hyde Park, UT
Do I need a building permit to finish my basement in Hyde Park?
Yes. Hyde Park City requires building permits and structural/electrical inspections for all residential basement finishing. As your licensed general contractor, JB’s Construction handles the entire permitting process, drawing up code-compliant plans and scheduling all required city inspections so your project is 100% legal and protected.
How do you keep basements warm and moisture-free during Utah winters?
Proper insulation and vapor barriers are crucial in Cache Valley. We install high-R-value wall insulation and proper vapor barriers before drywall goes up. Additionally, we ensure ductwork and heating registers are strategically placed to circulate heat efficiently, keeping your lower level warm in January and naturally cool in July.
How long does a typical basement finishing project take?
Depending on the square footage, layout complexity, and whether custom features (like bathrooms or wet bars) are included, most basement finishes take between 6 to 10 weeks from framing to final finish carpentry and paint. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation and keep you updated every step of the way.
