About Fresh Start
Veteran-Owned. Locally Operated. Results You Can See.
Built on Service
Fresh Start Surface Solutions was built on the same foundation as military service — accountability, attention to detail, and never cutting corners when the work matters.
As a veteran-owned business based in Jacksonville, NC, we understand this community. We've served alongside the families at Camp Lejeune. We know the pride Eastern North Carolina homeowners take in their properties. And we know what it means to do a job right.
Fresh Start Surface Solutions is owned and operated by JB Ackley and Kevin Later, both based right here in Jacksonville, NC. When you hire Fresh Start, you work directly with the owners.
We started Fresh Start because we saw too many homeowners get burned by contractors who showed up late, did mediocre work, and disappeared. That's not who we are. We quote it, we stick to it. We show up on time. We do the work right. And if something isn't right, we make it right.
No surprises. No shortcuts. Just honest work from people who take pride in it.
"We built this company on the same values we served with: integrity, precision, and pride in every job we take on."
