Ready to be inspired? Meet Martin Jones II, our Project Engineer who just became a #GeneralContractor, turning his setback into a comeback—and proving that if you dream big and grind hard, you can build anything. Martin started with a love for creating. From tinkering in elementary school to discovering construction at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, he’s always been about building something out of nothing. But earning that General Contractor License? It wasn’t easy. He powered through study after study, nailed the test on his second try, and learned that every failure can lead to a bigger success. And here’s the bonus: Martin picked up some serious hustle tips along the way—from balancing his “5 Pillars” (faith, family, finances, fitness, and freedom) to getting life-changing advice from a Ferrari-driving project owner who showed him that hard work opens doors to incredible opportunities.

Leeper Construction, we live by this principle every day, ensuring that when you imagine it, we build it—with purpose, care, and a commitment to uplifting our community. #MLKDay #YouImagineItWeBuildIt #BuildingWithPurpose #Service #Greatness #RJLeeperConstruction

This Thanksgiving, we at R.J. Leeper Construction take a moment to reflect on the foundation of our success—our people, our projects, and the communities we serve. Just as every strong building relies on a solid foundation, we ground our work in gratitude and respect for the communities we serve.

Similarly, the spirit of Thanksgiving reminds us of the importance of working together and giving thanks for the collective effort that brings visions to life. We are grateful for: ??? Our team members who bring their expertise and passion to every project. ?? Our clients and partners who trust us to turn their ideas into reality. ??

???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ??????! ??? At R.J. Leeper Construction, we know a thing or two about creating something amazing layer by layer—whether it’s a solid foundation for a building or the tiers of a beautifully crafted cake. Similar to construction, baking a cake requires careful planning, quality ingredients, and a touch of creativity to bring everything together. Each layer supports the next, just as every step in a construction project builds toward the final vision. Today, we celebrate the sweetness of progress, the joy of creating, and the reward of seeing hard work come to life—whether it’s a perfectly frosted cake or a completed project that brings communities together. Enjoy a slice of inspiration today, and don’t forget to treat yourself to something sweet! ?? #NationalCakeDay #BuildingWithPurpose #LayerByLayer #SweetSuccess #ConstructionLife #CelebrateProgress
