About

Formed in 1974 by Jack Wilkie, our company was built and is operating on the guiding principles of quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and fostering lifelong relationships with our clients and design partners. In 2019, Jack and Allyson Decatur joined forces to become Decatur Wilkie, Inc.

Decatur Wilkie, Inc. is committed to bringing all of our expertise to bear throughout the entire life of the project. All of our estimating/budget, scheduling and accounting systems have been structured specifically to develop and manage a project from its early planning through its final construction. We continually gather, analyze and report on issues such as value engineering, materials and methods with an eye on improving the construction process.

    Allyson graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Construction Management with honors. During her senior year and after graduation she spent a brief time creating Global Peace Containers; a company built around the premise of building structures out of shipping containers for third countries and disaster relief areas. After that, Allyson began building custom, luxury homes and commercial projects in Santa Barbara/ Montecito (CA), Kona, HI and Paradise Valley/ Scottsdale (AZ) with a large general contractor.

    Allyson continued her career in construction moving to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2006 to join Jack as a lead project manager. Her passion for building luxury homes and high-tech commercial projects runs deep. Every project is unique and a true work of art at every step along the way.

    Aside from her love of construction, Allyson enjoys giving back to the community. Her passion is spending time with her son and daughter, the joys of her life.

    Jack Wilkie, passionate about woodworking since childhood, formed the company in 1974. This passion provided the framework for the company to promote Jack’s dedication for quality craftsmanship and high-end construction.

    For over 50 years Jack has strived to preserve his reputation as a general contractor, providing clients with an outstanding construction process that is cost-effective and maintains the highest level of integrity and quality.

    Jack is committed to providing clients with a personal experience during the construction of their dream home or commercial project. This is accomplished through assembling an experienced and talented team that continues to foster his philosophy and augment the JWB (now Decatur Wilkie, Inc.) reputation.

The team concept at Decatur Wilkie, Inc. involves each member in the process—from the owner and architect, to the grassroots craftsman. As a result, Decatur Wilkie, Inc. has been able to maintain close, long-standing relationships with architects, subcontractors, craftsmen and other industry professionals.

The Project Team

Decatur Wilkie, Inc. has built a solid reputation in the Roaring Fork Valley. This trust is based on Decatur Wilkie’s strong team philosophy and decades of longstanding relationships. Decatur Wilkie’s team of superintendents, project managers, tradesmen and subcontractors has worked together to produce an impressive portfolio of some of the Valley’s finest properties.

Strong relationships are the key to much of Decatur Wilkie, Inc.’s success. Several satisfied owners have returned time and again with new projects or have referred their friends or family to Decatur Wilkie, Inc. Some architects have been working with Decatur Wilkie for their entire career.

  • The Project Manager is the “driver” of the project. Your Project Manager is an adept communicator, scheduler, expeditor, accountant, analyst, strategist, mediator and psychologist.

  • Each of our Superintendents has many years of experience in the Valley building custom homes of similar scope and magnitude. Some have “hands-on” fine carpentry skills that are top in the Valley, if not the country. Your superintendent is responsible for running all field operations full-time from commencement to completion.

  • The quality and skill level of our field personnel is a key component in the successful execution of all of our construction projects.

  • Our accounting staff aids the entire project team by producing accurate billings, providing current cost and budget information, and tracking changes.
