Who We Are
We're a team of passionate thinkers and doers, building with purpose and clarity.
Betty Jo LLC is a full-service maintenance and construction company dedicated to delivering reliable, high-quality work with a personal touch that’s often missing in the industry.
Founded by Whitney Shaffer and partnered with Steve Shaffer, we started with a simple observation: finding skilled contractors is challenging enough, but locating a team that communicates openly, stays organized, respects timelines, and truly cares about the outcome is even harder. That frustration inspired us to build something different—a company that treats every project as a true partnership
From routine property maintenance and emergency repairs to complete luxury home remodels, our experienced team—led by Head of Construction Kyle Ashley with over a decade in construction management—handles it all with precision and professionalism. We believe in transparency at every stage: clear updates, honest pricing, and no unwelcome surprises.
At Betty Jo, we’re not just service providers; we’re your trusted partners committed to protecting your property, enhancing its value, and giving you peace of mind. Whether it’s a quick fix or a major transformation, you can count on us to get it done right—the first time.
Whitney Shaffer, CEO
As the founder and CEO of Betty Jo LLC, Whitney Shaffer is a longtime Austin, Texas resident with years of deep experience in property maintenance management. Having been on both sides of the equation—as a property owner and manager relying on vendors—she knows firsthand the headaches that come with unreliable service, poor communication, and contractors who fall short on promises.
That’s exactly why she created Betty Jo: to fill a glaring gap in the Austin market for a single, trustworthy maintenance and construction partner that truly does it all. From everyday repairs and preventive upkeep to full-scale luxury remodels, Whitney built this company on the principles of reliability, clear communication, and exceptional results.
Her intimate understanding of client needs drives every decision, ensuring that Betty Jo delivers the kind of seamless, stress-free experience she always wished for as a customer. Under her leadership, we’re not just another vendor—we’re the dependable team you can count on for any project, big or small.
