Leadership
Bill Jetton
Founder
Bill left rural Texas for California in 1975 and began apprenticing with a master builder in Mendocino. All of his initial pursuits were off-grid, including traditional water towers, a 250 ft. pedestrian suspension bridge, and small-scale alternative energy systems. In 1985 as part of the Bay Area Construction Brigade, Bill helped construct housing and a hydroelectric system for a coffee and dairy collective in Nicaragua. In the mid-1980s Jetton Construction moved from Mendocino to Berkeley, beginning 40+ years of service and craft in the Bay Area.
Robert Lee
Principal
Robert has over 25 years of hands-on management experience in the custom residential remodeling field. Sustainability, quality, professionalism, beauty, function, and value are his guiding principles. Growing up in a family of graphic designers and engineers, he developed an eye for the deeper sense of order that only great building and design can provide. Outside of work he enjoys playing music with his band, advocating for housing and public transportation, and spending time outdoors with his wife and two teenage sons.
Michael Van Lokeren
Principal
Michael brings over two decades of experience in custom residential construction. He is pleased to work in a uniquely rewarding field where the artistry of architectural design meets the functional beauty of a well-built home. Michael earned his BA from Middlebury College in French and Spanish, studied Construction Management at UCLA, and is a LEED AP. When he’s not pouring through plans and details, Michael enjoys playing alongside his wife on their soccer team and spending time with their two daughters.
