Compass Construction

We recently worked the Nicholson's small project division and had a GREAT experience. We had a ton of small deferred maintenance projects around the house and didn't know what to do about them. We had tried to hire handymen in the past, but never had a good experience. So a lot of things just lingered because we didn't know what to do, or who to call to fix them. We finally called Nicholson because we had friends who raved about the work they did for a larger home remodeling project. Our hope was that their small projects division would be able to help fix up things around our house. They delivered and then some! We had a fantastic experience working with them. Every single person we interacted with was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. There was great communication from start to finish, they worked with our schedule and were able to accommodate other projects we were doing around the house and, of course, the workmanship was top notch. We'll absolutely hire them again for any project I have complete trust in them and their work. I've already recommended them to several friends for projects large and small.

Did a fantastic job remodeling our master bathroom. They started with a total redesign that provided increased & more usable storage, opened up the space to make it light & airy, improved the traffic flow to make it more comfortable & useable. Suggested helpful additions while helping us steer away from possible problem ideas that would not have worked in the long run. Worked to understand us & our likes/dislikes then worked through a style we liked & worked to pick out all bath components, tile, colors, etc. Then demolition started on schedule & proceeded flawlessly throughout installation. The various trades people were real craftspeople that were highly concerned with making us happy by not interrupting our lives too much, paying high attention to detail (including details we did not even notice), asking our specific preferences, cleaning up every day & keeping us informed. Could not be happier with the end result- the space is a complete joy to use & look at every day. We wanted to start a remodeling relationship with a company & we definitely found a partner we enjoy & trust completely.

Nicholson Builders replaced the decking on our front porch. We were extremely happy with all aspects of this project — from the initial contact with Nicholson to the completion of the project. We dealt with several people who assessed the issues with the porch and advised us on how to proceed. Ultimately, the project was assigned to the small projects division and, partly due to the unseasonably warm weather, was completed quickly. The finished porch looks great, and we were very appreciative of the attention to detail given to this work. Shortly after finishing the porch project, we discovered that our bathroom shower had developed a leak we immediately contacted Nicholson again. They came out quickly to assess the problem and a short time later began the repairs. The repairs presented some unexpected challenges but we were impressed with the efforts to solve the problems and the extent to which we were included in the decision-making. Once again, we were extremely happy with the results, the process, and the crew. Thank you Bryan, Nick, Jack, and Al.

I have had the great good fortune of working with the Nicholson firm for many home remodeling projects. The most recent was a Master Bedroom en Suite addition. It is very hard for me to come up with what part of the process I was more impressed with—Britain’s honest and straightforward salesmanship, Amy’s lovely and helpful design, Rich’s extraordinary craftsmanship and all the subs who showed up in timely fashion. Lastly, but, by far, not least, I am most grateful to my project manager, Tim Beachy. His respectful, kind, highly communicative manner set the tone for everyone else on this job. His knowledge, ability, attention to detail, and supreme professionalism impressed me to the nth degree. There are always bumps along a remodeling road, but mine were handled expeditiously and respectfully. Communication was prioritized. I can not recommend Nicholson Builders highly enough. They will be my first and only call if I am in the market for their services again.

We've worked with Nicholson Builders on large and small projects throughout our 1893 Victorian home. Our most recent project was a house addition and full kitchen renovation which also included relocating a powder room. From planning and designing until completion, the Nicholson team takes excellent care of us. They really listen to our needs, including our more creative requests, and they are willing to work out all the little details that make a huge difference in the functionality and aesthetics of a space. If there are any problems along the way, Nicholson are quick and considerate in addressing them. They work cleanly, carefully and are very thorough. The quality of their construction and craftsmanship is exceptional. They respect a historic home and employ creative and appropriate solutions to issues unique to older homes. We will definitely work with Nicholson on future home projects. Our experience with them is unequivocally positive in every respect.
