Meet the Founder
Los Angeles’s Premier Luxury Home Builder — Built on 20+ Years of Excellence
Jonathan Azal founded JB Builders with a single, unwavering conviction: that a home is the most personal expression of who you are, and it deserves to be built with absolute integrity. With over 20 years of experience in luxury residential and commercial construction throughout Los Angeles, Jonathan has built a reputation that speaks through the homes he creates.
His approach is deeply personal. Every project begins with a genuine conversation — understanding not just what you want to build, but why, and what it will mean to the people who will live in it. That philosophy flows through every decision, from the materials selected to the craftspeople trusted with execution.
Based in Reseda, CA, JB Builders serves clients throughout Los Angeles County — from Bel Air and Beverly Hills to Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Encino, Sherman Oaks, and the San Fernando Valley. Whether building a multi-million dollar estate from the ground up or helping a family rebuild after the 2025 LA wildfires, Jonathan brings the same standard of excellence to every project.
