Our family has been building in Northern California for over four decades. My earliest childhood memories are riding around with my dad, job to job, yard to yard. We often joke that I was, more or less, born on a construction site, and there’s definitely truth to that. Now, over 30 years later, here we are—still doing what we love. Uncompromising in our craft, obsessed with the details, and hellbent on building one-of-a-kind homes that last a lifetime.
KC Karnes | President and OwnerWe believe our work should stand the test of time. It’s an honor to help shape our customers' everyday living experience, and we take great pride in that. Since 1992, we’ve approached every project—big or small—with professionalism, enthusiasm, and integrity.
Craftsmanship is at the core of everything we do—a blend of skill, attention to detail, and respect for both materials and the client’s vision. Rooted in tradition, we create work that is not only functional but beautiful and built to last generations.
In 2023, we rebranded our family’s 32-year-old construction company with a new name and identity. One part grandfather (Jackson) and one part grandson (Layne), Jackson Layne Construction ties together three generations of home builders and our family’s legacy. As we prepare to pass the torch to the next generation of family builders, our service and craftsmanship continue to improve with age.
Jackson Layne is not actually a person. One part grandfather (Jackson) and one part grandson (Layne), Jackson Layne Construction ties together three generations of home builders and our family’s legacy.
It all begins with a conversation—no strings attached.
