Shortly after, in 1968, Jack and Joe Guy Started Joe N Guy in Atlanta, Georgia. Jack traveled frequently while he was employed at Joe N. Guy and he often dreamed of working close to home. After 31 years at Joe N. Guy he decided to make that dream a reality by selling his part of Joe N Guy to Joe Guy and starting J&R Construction & Development. He enlisted his brother, Lynn Joyner, and a handful of superintendents to start the business. On September 25th, 1986 J&R Construction & Development, Inc received its first business license. J&R's new office was a 12×20 office trailer in Carrollton, Georgia. Jack, Lynn, and a handful of superintendents started on their first of many construction projects. Within a few years J&R Construction had not only grown in revenue, numbers, and space, but also as a well known and respected general contractor in their community. J&R Construction is still run by Jack and Lynn Joyner today and employs over 60 full time employees.
