the crew & story
Where vision meets craftsmanship
~since 2013~
Jeremy and Jess's journey to St John began with a spirit of adventure. In 2010, they left Savannah, GA, to hike the Appalachian Trail, deepening their love and appreciation for nature. Afterward, they returned to St John for a dear friend's wedding—a place Jess had previously lived and together they had visited for years. What was meant to be a six-month stay with just backpacks and their dog quickly turned into 15 years, two kids, and the purchase of their own home in Coral Bay. St John has a way of drawing people in, and soon, the island became their true home.
With Jeremy's expertise in carpentry and woodworking and Jess’s knack for organization and connecting people, they decided to combine their skills. Over a weekend at the round table with a couple of graphics-savvy friends, they designed their first logo, installed QuickBooks, and made several calls to potential clients. They hit the ground running, with projects starting that very Monday. Just a few months after the birth of their first child, 340 Construction (their second baby) was officially launched in 2013.
From humble beginnings, their business has grown into a trusted name on the island, backed by over 20 years of combined experience in the building industry. Jess and Jeremy’s complementary skills and commitment have allowed 340 Construction to thrive, solidifying its presence within the St John community. Over the years, they’ve expanded their team to include a project management division, offering seamless support from concept to completion.
Today, with two children, Jeremy and Jess remain dedicated to the island they call home, creating spaces that embody the beauty and spirit of St John.
