We have positioned our company to value superior workmanship, personalized service, and attention to detail. Our clients deserve the best. We thrive on that moment when our customers walk through the doors of their new building, and they look around…and smile. That smile is worth the hard work, team effort, dedication, long hours, and the thoughtful, planned processes that are a part of every project we have so much pride in building.

Our Roots

Coming Together to Provide Construction Excellence

C.L. Lewis & Company Inc.

In 1929, projects were scarce, standards were high, and success was achieved through hard work, determination, integrity and merit. These qualities were exemplified by Charles Langhorne Lewis. He founded his new company built on these principles; and before long, his company was as solid as his reputation. By the mid 1950’s, C.L. Lewis & Company, Inc. was one of the leading contractors in central Virginia. Over the decades the company continued to grow and evolve, all the while preserving their core foundational values.

J.E. Jamerson & Sons

With experience in millwork and lumber, Mr. James E. “Dutch” Jamerson founded  a building supply company, J.E. Jamerson & Sons in 1946. His basic business principles were fairness and quality. As years passed and building needs grew, there became a growing demand for the company to offer a wider range of services. In response to this opportunity, J.E. Jamerson & Sons established a construction company, which rapidly grew to become one of the regions largest and most respected companies – all the while maintaining their foundational values on which the company was built.

Joining Forces

The merger of J.E. Jamerson & Sons and C.L. Lewis & Company, Inc. in 2014 combined these two companies with over 150 years of combined construction experience. This partnership was in response to market demands and a desired strategy that would position us in the marketplace for the next 150 years.

Our prior companies were responsible for the construction of some of central Virginia’s most prominent landmarks. With shared fundamental values, our new firm, Jamerson-Lewis Construction, builds upon those values which allow us the opportunity to be a leader in our field and continue to construct monuments of the future.

We will continue to build upon all the reasons you selected our firms in the past – knowledge, honesty and a commitment to project goals – all the key ingredients required that ensure you will have the best construction TEAM for your project!

Looking Ahead

Today, building on our past experience and with a shared commitment for growth and a vision for the future, we are positioned to excel as your construction TEAM partner. Our people are progressive – committed to being leaders in the field, the community and in our industry. Our desire for growth, our passion for technology, our commitment for continuous education and advanced training is backed by a culture that encourages personal growth and a TEAM environment. Our goal is to make selecting Jamerson-Lewis Construction as your partner an easy choice.

We provide visionary clients with affirmation as they dream, insight as they plan, and satisfaction as we build.

William Cook and I worked together on the Livestock Road Region 2000. Regional Landfill Facilities Project in 2011-2012. The project consisted of constructing a new Office Building, Maintenance Building, Scale House, Convenience Station and general site development. William helped deliver this project on schedule while coordinating Jamerson Lewis' work with several other contractors working for Region 2000. William's professionalism, organization and commitment to meeting the project schedule were integral to the project's success. As an Owner, I highly recommend William Cook as a Construction Project Manager.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you both for all your time and effort on the RAHC project. I know you guys look at these things as “sometimes you win one and sometimes you lose one”. Even with that said, I know not winning one still stings. But I wanted to say that we really do appreciate all of your help. Personally, I believed you guys would be the ones to get it all along. I even noted in the bid meeting that the final selection would also be based on the add alternates and not just the base cost.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your help on Banks-Gannaway! You helped us be very good stewards of VES’s hard-earned funds. Your work, friendship, professionalism and honesty are greatly appreciated! It was a pleasure!

As construction has progressed, each obstacle we have encountered has been met with a spirit of ‘can-do’ and a willingness to talk through the options with us. You have also been very accommodating as we have made changes along the way. It’s exciting to look out my window each day and see the progress. Thank you again for Jamerson-Lewis’ support to date.

I have to say that the process of working with you throughout the history of Phelps Road has been nothing less than spectacular, and for me, a true gift. …This project is really very well done and your whole firm is the reason why. Top to bottom. You guys really are pros. I very much appreciate what you are doing for me. Double underline ‘appreciate’.

Thank you for your incredible patience and your willingness to work with us… It is inconceivable where this project would be right now with a different contractor. We can’t sing your praises loud enough.

I want to thank you on behalf of Centra for your professionalism, attention to detail, and steadfastness to meet the completion date on time. You helped make difficult decisions an easy process to manage and you worked with me to accomplish changes that Centra requested quickly and efficiently. This made the project turn out even better than expected.
