Upstate House

There was a time when caring for a home meant maintaining a mental Rolodex of specialists: one number for the landscaper, another for the house cleaner, another for the handyman, another for the pet sitter, another for snow removal. Every project required a new phone call, a new estimate, and another person to coordinate.

J&J Property Pros was built around a simpler idea: What if one trusted team could handle almost all of it?

Based in Salt Point, the family-owned company offers landscaping, cleaning, pet care, handyman services, snow removal, organizing, junk removal, seasonal decorating, and more. When clients need specialized work—from certified arborists to pond installers—J&J coordinates trusted partners as well, allowing homeowners to work through a single point of contact.

“It’s that one-stop shop,” says co-owner Janna Temkin, who runs the business with her siblings, Jared and Jenneka. “They can be kind of hands-off and just know that it’s getting done. We send little update emails, but they can come up and feel unburdened when they come to their home and just enjoy it.”

That philosophy has become increasingly valuable for busy professionals, families, and second-home owners who have more responsibilities than time. Rather than juggling multiple contractors, clients work with one team that already knows the property, understands their preferences, and can anticipate seasonal needs throughout the year.

A relationship might begin with weekly house cleaning or landscape maintenance, then naturally expand to pet care during vacations, seasonal cleanups, snow removal, or organizing projects. As homeowners discover the breadth of J&J’s services, many realize they no longer need to coordinate several different companies.

“We genuinely manage,” Temkin says. “We pretty much find vendors who are trusted by us and who we’ve worked with, and we can help curate a team of people for our clients so that all they really have to do is deal directly with us.”

The approach grew out of the founders’ own experiences. As they built separate businesses, the siblings noticed clients constantly asking for referrals to other home-service professionals. Instead of sending people elsewhere, they saw an opportunity to create a coordinated, concierge-style experience under one roof.

For Temkin, the goal goes beyond checking items off a maintenance list. She describes the company’s approach as one rooted in hospitality.

“When you go to a hotel, you just feel like everything’s taken care of for you,” she says. “How can we bring that experience home to someone?”

That mindset shapes everything from the team’s eco-conscious landscaping practices and natural cleaning products to the care they provide for pets, which has become one of the company’s fastest-growing services. Whether they’re mowing a lawn, deep-cleaning a home, organizing a garage, or caring for a family’s dog while they’re away, the objective remains the same: remove one more task from a homeowner’s already-full plate.

Temkin believes many homeowners underestimate the value of reclaiming their time.

“If I hire someone or if I have to do it myself, what could I be doing with those hours?” she says. “We have a bunch of amazing professionals on our team, and this is their profession. You can put your feet up. Don’t you worry. You relax. Let us do this.”

In the end, that’s the promise behind J&J Property Pros—not simply a long list of services, but a trusted team that allows homeowners to make one call instead of five.
