- Kitchen Remodeling"Christi and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jimmy Walker of J. Walker Construction for the phenomenal job he did remodeling our home. He completely transformed the overall footprint of our house into an efficient, stylish, spacious, modern structure that is visually pleasing to our eyes. He increased our overall square footage by almost 50% more than doubling our kitchen and opening it up to an impressive Great Room complete with custom shelves and cabinetry. His design recommendations increased our storage space and opened our house up dramatically. He added additional counter space, and relocated our cabinets and appliances to allow all work areas to be easily reached from a central position.

- FireplacesThe interior design of the home is classic. Brick arches grace the kitchen over the range to give a feeling of timelessness. The open floor plan with gracious rooms for entertaining and a family area make this home a dream home for a lifetime. A real masonry fireplace is something not found in homes today. This fireplace is custom and can be converted to gas. In consideration for the future, the homeowners also designed a fabulous master retreat complete with huge walk in shower with multiple sprays perfect as their needs change.
- New ConstructionBacked by over 30 years experience, J. Walker Construction has a solid foundation to bring to your building project. A second-generation builder, it was only natural for Jimmy to follow in the footsteps of his father, who owned and operated a remodeling business for over 25 years. With over 20 years experience as a superintendent overseeing high-end commercial projects in the DC Metropolitan area, Jimmy decided to put his construction expertise to use in the residential construction industry in 2005. As a result J. Walker Construction was formed.

- SidingMaintenance is another concern when building a home for a lifetime. Jimmy Walker recommends to build as low maintenance as you can. Painting a house in your retirement can be avoided with thoughtful consideration to the future. This home offers stylish vinyl siding, brick veneer and faux cedar shakes that will never need painting. Fiberglass columns and trim on the porch is another money saver and guarantee the trim will look as good twenty years from now. A 30 year architectural shingle roof is another option that can save thousands of dollars over a lifetime.

- InsulationThe home was built with energy savings in mind. 2 x 6 exterior walls and a high efficiency insulation package coupled with a high efficiency HVAC system with gas furnaces will keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, minding the kilowatt hours. Gas is a good choice for this region as a backup heat. It is a warm heat that is kind to the environment and does not require huge emergency backup heat that drives the electric bill up significantly. The windows are a "Low E" energy star approved window that should be up to government standards well into the decade and beyond.
