Laub's Construction

Custom Interiors: Mr. Nick Copeland (owner of Custom Interiors construction company) is a licensed contractor with a focus on new/remodel interior projects for residential and business. Over the past dozen years I have entered into various remodel projects on my 1976 home with Nick. Projects included 2-bathrooms, 4-bedrooms, hallway, living room, family room, and kitchen — also lighting and security in the garage and exterior siding on the front of the house. Nick remodeled all interior surfaces. All ceilings throughout the home had a popcorn finish — Nick coordinated the asbestos testing of the ceiling material — found to be non-asbestos. My first project with Nick was a bathroom. I am a retired project manager with the Corps of Engineers with experience writing scopes of work (SOW) and inspection of projects. I solicited a SOW for my first project and received bids — the lowest bid was from Nick’s company. I had a chat with Nick and his partner and asked who will do the structural, electrical, plumbing — the answer was Nick himself. I was skeptical but moved forward with the contract — Nick performed beyond my expectations. Nick coordinated all necessary construction permits and related inspections. That bathroom was perfect when finished — and I can say the same for every project I’ve entered with Nick. Nick’s attention to detail is an art — all finish work has perfect corners and painted with no mars. Nick was always on-time in the morning for work, dressed in clean attire, always put protection on the floors at the start of the day and removed at the end of the day. I have two family cats — Nick was very cautious to ensure they did not get out of the house. Although I wanted to be here when he was working — there were many times I had to be at an appointment — I had no worries giving Nick the house key — Nick is trustworthy. He works quietly and always has his workday activities well planned when he starts for the day. After my first contract with Nick — I no longer solicited for the remaining projects (7 or 8 more) — I would ask Nick to come over and we would talk the new SOW. Nick would give me a quote and we would move forward. Nick uses a detailed estimating program that provided me with assurance everything was included. We decided to remove a piece of work — the next day Nick provided me with a deduction to the cost — just the way Nick does business. For my projects, Nick did all the work — he had a working relationship with the inspectors and with the local building codes. Nick is very careful to ensure proper coordination with the owner — if there are any questions — he will offer them to you. Nick has very good insight to what will look nice — please ask him for his opinions — they were a blessing for me. Nick will provide you with his start and completion date — I don’t believe he ever missed his completion date for materials and activity within his control. Don’t be concerned about one man having the knowledge and ability to work all trades of a project — Nick doesn’t walk on water or turn water into wine — but I know he’ll do you proud if you give him the opportunity to perform for you — you won’t be disappointed.

Nick is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with and we've had quite a few. He is craftsman extraordinaire. His attention to detail as well as his ability to see the overall project is so excellent - it is really hard to believe. OUR BATHROOM is a one of a kind that is so absolutely perfect - it's amazing. This is because of the highest quality work we have ever encountered. Words cannot express our deep gratitude for the amazing work that has been done in our home. Besides remodeling our master bathroom (completely gutted and total change in layout fireplace added, and more), new tile and toilet were added to the powder room, a new shower door was installed in the guest bathroom, a new gorgeous fireplace mantel was built and replaced in the living room... along with a few other small projects. Every project was completed perfectly and timely. Not one time was Nick late. He was there every morning throughout the entire process and was always exceptionally professional. On top of that he is a good communicator and kept us abreast of next things he would be working on and getting our input along the way - even if it meant more difficult work, he always demonstrated his desire for the project to come out just the way we wanted it. If you have a need for the highest quality work along with reliability and excellent communications we very highly recommend Custom Interiors Construction & Nick. We chose him despite have a bid that was somewhat less than his and we are so very happy that we made that choice! Bob & Twila Gates

My washing machine flooded my kitchen ruining my floor and the laundry closet. I found Nick from Custom Interiors and he was amazing! Very professional, responsive and he did great work. Our project kept facing delays, but it was not Nick's fault -- just some issues with my insurance company not cooperating. Nick was very patient and helped me along the way. What I really appreciated about him was that he always kept in contact, was easy to communicate with and always kept his work area clean -- huge plus since we still have to live in our house while he replaced the kitchen floor. He also framed our laundry closet, added doors and shelves to what was previously just an open space with our washer/dryer. It always looked awful just having the washer/dryer exposed to the kitchen, but he made it looks like the walls and doors were seamlessly integrated into the house already. Can't even tell it was just an open space! I had some other projects around the home that I wanted to do and he was always very helpful and patient even though I wasn't able to get to those projects right away. When I was finally able to move forward, I found out that he moved and had to find a new contractor. I was sad that Nick had moved since he was so professional and did a great job -- he really respected our home like it was his own. 100% would hire him again if he were still in California!

I have never had such a wonderful experience with home remodeling projects until we met Nick Copeland. He was professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and pro active with our remodel. He provided us with a detailed estimate and timeline. During the remodel, at the end of his work day he cleaned everything and was always conscientious of the rest of our home. The craftsmanship he displayed was outstanding. My closet looks custom built, my bathroom is perfect. He even found hardware for my barn door to match the rest of my house . In fact, he sourced several items for our project from photos I sent him. I can’t tell you how many times and how many stores he visited on my behalf. In the end, he completed the job on time and under his estimate. ( There were a few items he got deals on and some he returned.) I plan on hiring him for all our work in the future. I can’t say enough good things about our remodel. He remodeled two rooms into one large room, framed and custom built a large walk in closet, and removed walk in shower and added a soaking tub and built in cabinets. He also installed a double sink vanity and lighted mirror. He did all the tile work, carpentry, painting, everything himself. Beautiful work!

Nick Copeland, owner and general contractor of Custom Interiors Construction did superior work on our 1970 original home remodel. Remodel included: Full kitchen, pantry, laundry, family, dining and living rooms, entry and hallway remodel from floor to ceiling with additional detail work of crown and base moldings, pocket/barn style doors, cabinetry, reconfigured walls, wall texturing and matching with existing texture, inside and outside. Specifically, we also contracted with Nick to frame and raise living room floor from split level to level with rest of home which included install of new header for sliding patio doors, working with building inspectors and permits. Also, remodel involved plumbing retrofits with installations of multiple sinks. Nick recommended, designed, built, and installed decking to accommodate slope transition from living room to backyard. Fact: Nick does all the trades himself. We have consulted with him since our remodel for future work. We never have nor would hesitate contracting with Nick nor should anyone else. Wish he were still in the Sacramento area!
