MEET THE TEAM
Name: Laurel Webster
Title: Office Manager
What do you love about working at the company?
The integrity of Josh and the care he gives to his employees and clients. I also appreciate variety and flexibility of work.
What do you enjoy about serving our clients?
It feels good to convey to clients that they are a priority and the quality of their project is important to us.
What ‘little things’ do you consider yourself an expert at or highly skilled at?
I take care of details and research products. I also relate well to people.
Overall Likes In Life/Business:
Processes and lists, dark chocolate, being on time, reading actual books (not those ebooks), a good movie, teaching and solving problems, and worshiping in church.
Overall Dislikes in Life/Business:
People who drive slow in the fast lane, being late and being kept waiting, clutter, making the same mistake twice, research papers (I like research, not the writing part), pet hair everywhere, the smell of a dirty dish rag, promises not kept, poor communication, and assumptions.
What do you love to do outside of work? Any interesting facts/history about yourself that you’d like to share in a bio?
I love doing book studies and doing life with young adults, talking to them about life, God, and truth. I love sitting on the patio at my favorite restaurant and people watching. I love traveling. I lived in Japan for a year and would live there again without hesitation. Tokyo is one of my favorite places.
Name: Mark Wolfe
Title: Production Manager
What do you love about working at this company? I love the variety of jobs we are in involved with. One day it’s a deck, next week we are raising a house, installing new windows and trim, or remodeling a bathroom.
What do you enjoy about serving our clients? I enjoy working with our clients on their project and the joy they express during the project and especially at the completion of it. In addition, being able to add value to the project or home by fixing or repairing something that was not apart of the scope of the project brings me joy.
What ‘little things’ do you consider yourself an expert at or highly skilled at? I consider myself to be skilled at organizing projects. Getting them done in a timely and efficient manner. And occasionally pulling off the “impossible.”
Overall Likes In Life/Business: My two greats loves in life are my faith and my family. I enjoy playing with my two granddaughters (winding them up and then sending them home). I like driving to the beach with my wife of 42 years, watching the waves, boats and sunsets.
In business, I like meeting new people and working with my hands to create something new or in restoring something old.
Overall Dislikes in Life/Business: I dislike being late weather it’s late to a meeting or missing a targeted competition date for a job.
Name: Andy Foss
Title: Lead Carpenter
What do you love about working at the company? I enjoy the wide variety of different carpentry that we get to work on—from quick remodels to expansion additions, the range in projects and skills keeps me on my toes. I also appreciate our reputation for great customer service, and strive to achieve this in every job.
What do you enjoy about serving our clients? I like working with clients that provide good feedback and intel. I take a lot of pride in seeing their dreams become reality as we work on and complete projects!
What ‘little things’ do you consider yourself an expert at or highly skilled at? I’d say I’m an expert at (and enjoy the most) framing and finishing trim.

Name: Josh Nelson
Title: President
What do you love about working at the company?
People. I have loved building long term relationships with people in our community.
What do you enjoy about serving our clients?
Finding out the reason behind the project. Every project has a story – I.e., that special play room for when the grandkids come to visit, a screen porch to create a quiet spot to get away from it all, or breathe new life into an old family cottage so the next generation can build similar memories, etc.
What ‘little things’ do you consider yourself an expert at or highly skilled at?
Communication – keeping the clients and team informed.
Details – getting them right. It makes or breaks the project.
Big Picture – keeping the big picture in mind.
Organization – keeping job sites clean and organized. The office too!
Overall Likes In Life:
Spending time with my family at the dinner table, swimming, dirt-biking in the woods with my son, and hiking at Saugatuck Dunes with my wife.
Overall Dislikes in Life/Business:
I want things to be orderly-no chaos please.
What do you love to do outside of work? Any interesting facts/history about yourself that you’d like to share in a bio? I enjoy building furniture for my family. My goal is to build one special piece for each of my children. 2 down, 4 to go!
