Since 2001

Transforming Homes, One Detail at a Time

From thoughtful design to flawless execution, we specialize in high-end remodeling that reflects your vision and stands the test of time.

What Makes Working with Nelson Builders Different

We've spent decades perfecting an approach that protects your investment, honors your trust, and delivers results that last.

Transparent Process That Prevents Budget Overruns

We start every project with a clearly defined budget range. Our design team value-engineers your selections so you never fall in love with a plan you can’t afford. All materials are locked in before construction begins — and stored in our warehouse, inspected, and ready to go.

We stand behind every detail. If there’s ever an issue with our work,  whether it’s five months or five years later, we’ll take care of it. That’s our promise.

From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, we protect your home, communicate proactively, and treat your space like it’s our own. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, a clear schedule, and regular updates — so you always know what’s next.

About Us

Built on Integrity. Driven by Excellence.

Josh Nelson is a fifth-generation carpenter who opened Nelson Builders in 2001 with a simple mission: do the work right, every time. Today, our team combines beautiful craftsmanship with a design-first approach — listening carefully, solving problems thoughtfully, and delivering spaces that serve families for decades.

A Clear Path from Vision to Reality

Our proven process keeps your project on time, on budget, and aligned with your goals.

01

Discovery & In-Home Consultation

We listen first. A short call helps us understand your goals, followed by an in-home visit to walk the space, take measurements, and discuss possibilities.

02

Design Agreement

We bring you into our showroom to formalize the design phase, align on your vision, and collect a design retainer. This is where excitement begins.

03

Conceptual Design & Visualization

Our designer creates floor plans, 3D renderings, and material boards, so you can see the transformation before construction starts. We refine until it’s exactly what you want.

04

Final Selections & Proposal

All finishes, fixtures, and materials are locked in. We present a detailed proposal with transparent pricing, a clear scope, and a realistic timeline.

05

Ordering & Scheduling

We order all materials, schedule trades, and finalize logistics. Your materials are inspected and stored in our warehouse — ready when we need them.

06

Construction & Final Walkthrough

We protect your home and follow the schedule. At the end, we walk through together to ensure every detail meets our standard — and yours.

"Josh Nelson and his crew were attentive, professional, and always provided excellent communication each step in the process. We were very impressed with the quality of each person’s work and how they always made sure our space was clear of their work tools when they left each day. We would highly recommend them!"

Have Questions?

We’ve Got Answers.

Will I have to leave my home during the remodel?

Many clients stay. We use dust containment systems, protect your living spaces, and work to minimize disruption. For whole-home projects, some families choose to stay elsewhere temporarily.

Yes. We have designers who work with you from concept through final selections. From 3D renderings and floor plans to material boards and fixture choices, we guide the entire design process — ensuring your vision comes to life exactly as you imagined.

We align on budget early and value-engineer designs to fit your priorities. All selections are finalized before construction begins, so there are no surprises.

We offer a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. If there’s ever an issue due to workmanship, we’ll take care of it.
