Who We Are

Hello, and welcome. I'm Victoria Jackson and my company Jackson & Star LLC specializes in expert carpentry of all project types and sizes. Everything from small creative projects like flower boxes or chicken coops to larger projects like bathroom remodels and outbuildings. I also enjoy unconventional projects, as I tend to think outside the box.


Long before I went to North Bennet St. School for a preservation carpentry degree, and long before my experience working on new commercial builds with the Boston Carpenters Union, I learned from the best - my Dad.


One of three kids, I was the only one that would follow him around with my hammer asking what we were working on today. Since it was impossible to keep me out of his shop, I also learned the value of tool maintenance and responsibilities at a young age. My father has been my mentor not only with carpentry but also with the intricacies of running a business. I pride myself on having a clean and concienctios job site, and believe strongly in honesty and transparency. Now that I have my own company I carry these principles forward and hope to instill them in my daughter, who occasionally tags along with me or recruits me for her own lego and cardboard builds.
