We fix.  We build.  We innovate. We work hard, tell the truth and stand by our product. We start with valuing relationships – ours as a family, and our customers’ with us. Thankful for our community, we love giving back.  From contributions to the War Effort in the 1940’s, to supporting Nashville’s charities for youth and the needy each year, we want our faith to be active.  And that is often found here, one worker helping the other. John Bouchard was the father 5 generations ago. Today his descendants still own and operate the business, while an army of craftsmen, service experts, and staff – those they are mentoring and those who have trained them – know they are all part of the JBS family.
