Craftsmanship, integrity, and attention to detail in every project
JD Build was founded in 2020 by Jesse Laycock and Dylan Flanner. Together, they bring over 15 years of combined experience in carpentry and home remodeling — and have built a team that specializes in bringing their clients' visions to life through high-end detail, expert project management, and clear communication every step of the way.
JD Build is a family-owned and operated company where every team member plays a critical role. From designer bathroom renovations with custom tile work and premium fixtures to expansive outdoor living spaces with handcrafted pergolas and composite decking — every detail matters.
Whether it's a single-room refresh or a whole-home transformation, JD Build brings the same level of care, communication, and craftsmanship to every job.
Premium materials and meticulous attention to detail in every cut, joint, and finish.
You'll always know where your project stands. No surprises, no guesswork — just honest updates from start to finish.
We don't just build — we help you create spaces that look as good as they function, with a designer's eye for detail.
Director of Field Operations
Jesse handles all on-site management while working shoulder-to-shoulder with the crews to shape the outcome of every job. Past clients consistently love having him in their homes — his hands-on leadership and attention to detail ensure quality at every stage.
Business Operations Coordinator
Emma makes sure every dollar is accounted for and that clients get the most out of their hard-earned money. She manages all administrative and financial operations, keeping the business running efficiently behind the scenes.
CEO & Licensed General Contractor
Dylan oversees the business from the top — ensuring valid permits are pulled, adequate insurance is in place, subcontractor teams are vetted, and every project is managed from start to finish. He believes that a well-run project starts with keeping clients informed, not in the dark.
Head of Business Development
Sydney is involved at every step of your project, handling client correspondence and driving company growth so that JD Build continues to earn its reputation as one of Kansas City's most trusted residential remodeling companies.
What separates a renovation from a transformation is the attention to what most people overlook. The custom tile patterns that draw the eye. The matte black hardware that ties a room together. The way shiplap meets quartz countertops with a precision that feels effortless. These aren't just renovations — they're spaces designed to be lived in and loved.
Every material is chosen with intention, every transition is seamless, and every finish reflects a standard that goes beyond what's expected. When you walk into a JD Build project, you feel the difference before you see it.
