Meet The Owner
Jeremy Janes
I’m Jeremy Janes, founder and owner of Copper Creek Contractors in Mahomet, Illinois. I grew up in Mattoon and got my start in the roofing industry, where I quickly learned that this business is about more than construction. It’s about people, trust, and doing what you say you’re going to do. In July 2020, I started Copper Creek out of a spare room in my home with the goal of building a company that does things the right way and treats people well.
​
Since then, Copper Creek has grown, but that goal hasn’t changed. I take pride in helping homeowners through what can be a stressful process, whether that means replacing a roof, siding, gutters, or windows, or helping navigate an insurance claim. For me, Copper Creek is about building relationships, earning trust, supporting our team, and being proud of the work we leave behind.
