Our Story
Where Craftsmanship Meets Vision
JVR Complete is not just a renovation company. It is a design studio that builds. Founded by Jon Vanderwier in 2014, we bring a rare combination of high-level design instinct and hands-on craftsmanship to every project in the Niagara Region.
Meet Jon Vanderwier
Niagara Region's Design-Build Contractor
Most renovation companies build what you ask for. Jon Vanderwier designs what you never knew was possible, then builds it flawlessly.
Jon\'s career started in the trades — framing, drywall, tile, woodworking — learning every aspect of residential construction from the ground up. But what set him apart from day one was an extraordinary eye for design. While other contractors focused on structural execution, Jon was studying material combinations, colour theory, lighting design, and spatial flow.
When Jon founded JVR Complete Home Renovations in 2014, he built the company around a simple conviction: homeowners deserve both a skilled builder AND a talented designer in one package. No more hiring a designer, then a separate contractor, then hoping they communicate. With JVR Complete, the person who designs your renovation is the same person who builds it.
Today, JVR Complete operates as a boutique, single-crew operation. Every project is personally overseen by Jon from initial consultation through final walkthrough. This model ensures absolute consistency — one team, one vision, one standard of quality in every room.
