  • Fayette Handley -Founder

    To learn about Jack Handley Construction, you will need to know Fayette’s story.

    Jack Handley Construction, Inc. is a family owned business with strong ties to the greater central coast of California. Fayette (Jack of Jack Handley) started in the construction business in 1995 at the young age of 15. By graduating high school early he was able to begin working in the Monterey and Carmel areas as an apprentice carpenter.

    During his apprenticeship he worked to help build many custom homes on the famous “17 Mile Drive,” in Carmel by the Sea, all through the Carmel Valley and as widespread as the Salinas and San Jose Valley’s. Fayette picked up many skills in a short period of time by working in such a large and diverse area that by 17 he was offered an opportunity of great magnitude to work with Howard Tugel, a renowned engineer and vineyard designer in the Napa Valley wine region of California. Together the duo completed a beautiful winery in Soledad, California. By this time his apprenticeship program was complete thus allowing him to branch out and begin to learn more of the many facets of construction. Fayette spent the next couple of years working throughout California on various projects. He worked on everything from land development, mountainside road cutting and drainage installation, new home grading and compaction, to commercial building tenant improvements and even into concrete work. By 20, he was hired on as a foreman for a local concrete outfit and by 24 he had worked on his first custom homes in the San Luis Obispo area. Loving the SLO life, Fayette moved to the area in 2009 and began managing projects for local construction companies including custom home builds and commercial tenant improvements. Since his move he has proven himself time and time again as a valued member of the community and as such began working for many well-known local business owners, such as MindBody, Inc. and many others. In 2012 Fayette officially started Jack Handley Construction, Inc. and has never looked back.

    Jack Handley Construction, Inc., can handle all your construction needs, from the largest project to the smallest detail, JHC focuses on excellence in all areas of construction and leaves no job incomplete.

    – Our dream, is to make your building dreams come true
