JS-1 Construction

The Lifestyle Contractor

The Lifestyle Contractor, also known as JS-1 Construction, is a leading resource for home remodeling and construction. A family-owned and operated South Florida business, we specialize in Universal Design and Aging-In-Place. We develop creative accessible solutions to support living in your home safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age or ability. There are so many great health benefits to allowing our older generation to remain at home. We are committed to improving the lives of all people, their families, and the communities in which they live, transforming homes to accommodate the different stages of your life. We are experts in Living-In-Place construction.

Our passion lies in helping families create spaces that foster togetherness and independence while maximizing the value of their property. We are taking up the challenge to simplify the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) building process and make it accessible to everyone who dreams of having a Granny Flat in their backyard.

These structures, often referred to as "granny flats" or "in-law suites," offer a unique combination of privacy and proximity when added to a primary residence. With Florida's housing market continually evolving, ADUs present an opportunity for property owners to adapt to changing family dynamics, enhance property value, or address housing affordability challenges.

About Us

JANE SNELL-SIMPSON is both a specialist and problem-solver in the construction industry. With over 30 years of construction management experience, she is the President of JS-1 Construction, a family-owned and operated South Florida business. She has used her years of experience and industry relationships to navigate the channels of being a lifestyle contractor to homeowners. She actively works with homeowners who want to remain in their homes and communities and age gracefully with dignity, purpose, and independence on a daily basis.

Jane found inspiration to reinvent her business in an unusual place. She was helping friends who operate a nonprofit that aids people with physical disabilities. She realized that as people age, their homes need to function differently. Homes have a life cycle. As a homeowner, your life changes and your home should change, too. Today Jane's company focuses on empowering senior citizens and people with disabilities to remain in the homes they love.

As her knowledge in this area of home renovation has grown, Jane has become a consultant to businesses that are renovating or seeking to make their facilities more accessible to the public.

Numerous construction projects throughout the United States along with management positions with large corporations (such as: WCI Communities, Adelphia Communications, Qwest Communications, Kwame Building Group) afforded Jane to gain knowledge, experience, expertise, and industry relationships to navigate the channels and actively work with homeowners to facilitate the entire construction process. Co-owners Jane and her husband Peter Simpson created a division of JS-1 called ASAP Shutter in 2003, and soon gained a reputation for honesty and reliability in an industry fraught with unscrupulous contractors. ASAP Shutter became both a local manufacturer and installer of the popular HT100 accordion shutter. That industry began to wane around 2007 when other products became available to protect houses and the Sunshine State was hit with fewer hurricanes.
