Ain't no G in J.J. Castro: When it comes to concrete make sure it's a DOUBLE J

“I just want to make it clear,” he said. “Don’t get me confused with the other company with almost the exact same business name. J.J. Castro Construction is very different from all other companies. I’m not a roofing company. I don’t work in Washington. I don’t do framing. I do concrete. Only concrete,” he said. “And there is no G in my name.”

J.J. Castro Construction - emphasis on the 2nd J.

The Dalles, Ore., May 16, 2024 — J.J. Castro Construction has been operating in The Dalles for 20 years, and J.J. said he has worked hard to build his business and reputation.

Concrete work - it’s the toughest.

But in the past year, he has been getting phone calls for another contractor who has a very similar business name - J.G Castro, a business that formed in 2021 in The Dalles, according to the Oregon State Business Registry.

The Logo to Look for - call J.J. anytime at 541-380-1431.

The names are so close that people mistake them, J.J. said.

“I work 24/7 to keep my good name,” J.J. said on Thursday, May 16.

“I’m not a roofing company. I don’t work in Washington. I don’t do framing. I do concrete. Only concrete,” he said. “And there is no G in my name.”

“I just want to make it clear,” he said. “Don’t get me confused with the other company with almost the exact same business name. J.J. Castro Construction is very different from all other companies.”

J.J. said he has been getting calls for at least a year regarding the other contractor with a similar name.

“I’m J.J., he’s J.G.”

In October, 2023 - J.J. Castro and his crew of Ramiro and Jorge were working the concrete along a new sidewalk out front of Cascade Square near Dutch Bros. It was another great job from J.J. Castro Construction - the one, the only.

“People need to know I am the real J.J. When it comes to concrete, I am the guy to get it done. I’ve been proving myself in this community for two decades.”
