ABOUT US

Meet the Nelson Builders Team

We are thankful to God, our hard-working employees and trade partners, and our many wonderful clients! Our team of dedicated designers and carpenters is passionate about providing excellent service. We genuinely care not only about the work we are doing but also about the people for whom we are doing the work. Let Nelson Builders help transform your house into a home that inspires!

Why Nelson Builders?

Here are a few reasons why working with the team at Nelson Builders ensures a smooth and efficient process:

Prompt & Clear Communication

+ -

We’re eager to hear from you! You can expect a warm and friendly tone from the moment we begin communicating. Also, you can expect all voicemails, emails, and texts to receive a response within hours, not days. We’re committed to a high level of communication before, during, and after the renovation.

A Clean Jobsite Including BuildClean

+ -

We promise to maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area that minimizes disruption to your family’s routine and schedule. This includes using the BuildClean air scrubbing system, wearing safety glasses when working, laying tarps down, hanging dust barriers around work areas, refraining from smoking and stacking materials and tools neatly. Being considerate and respectful of your family’s needs and your home is important to our team.

Detailed Spaces & Guaranteed Cost

+ -

During our initial meetings, you may be surprised by how many questions we ask and how much time we spend with you. We’ve learned that investing extra time early in the process is critical to the project’s success. Our Holland-based home renovation team works closely with you, selecting all materials and clearly defining the project’s scope to fully meet or exceed your expectations. At the end of this step, we can deliver a guaranteed cost.

Satisfaction Guarantee

+ -

Many people say, “Satisfaction Guaranteed,” but what does that mean? With Nelson Builders, it means we’re committed to doing the job right the first time. And if you’re not satisfied, we’re prepared to keep working until you are satisfied with the work. Your complete satisfaction is so important to us—and we’re so confident in our quality work—we are willing to guarantee it!

Our Lifetime Warranty Promise

+ -

At your post-project meeting, our Holland-based team will present you with our Warranty Promise. If there is a problem with our workmanship–whether it is five months or five years after the job is completed–we will take care of it for as long as you own your home.

LEAD CARPENTER

What do you love about working at the company?

I enjoy the wide variety of carpentry that we get to work on—from quick remodels to expansive additions; the range of projects and skills keeps me on my toes. I also appreciate our reputation for outstanding customer service and strive to excel in every job.

What do you enjoy about serving clients?

+ -

I like working with clients that provide good feedback and information. I take great pride in realizing their dreams as we work on and complete projects!

What “little things” do you consider yourself a highly skilled expert in?

+ -

I’m an expert at (and enjoy the most) framing and finishing trim.

What other things bring you joy?

+ -

Woodworking and building, classic country music, and anything to do with the great outdoors!

What things cause you stress?

+ -

Inconsiderate people, bad drivers, and extremely hot weather.

What do you love to do outside of work? What is an interesting fact about you?

+ -

I love the United States and am a proud US Army veteran. I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, Saturday night grilling with my wife, and spending quality time with my family.

PRODUCTION MANAGER

Mark Wolfe

What do you love about working at the company?

+ -

I love the variety of jobs in which we are involved. One day it’s a deck; the next week, it’s raising a house; the next, it’s installing new windows and trim or remodeling a bathroom.

What do you enjoy about serving clients?

+ -

I enjoy working with our clients on their projects and the joy they express during the project, especially at the completion of it. In addition, I like adding value to the project or home by fixing or repairing something that was not a part of the project’s scope. That brings me joy.

What “little things” do you consider yourself a highly skilled expert in?

+ -

I consider myself skilled at organizing projects, getting projects done in a timely and efficient manner, and occasionally pulling off the “impossible”.

What other things bring you joy?

+ -

My great loves in life are my faith and my family. I enjoy playing with my two granddaughters (winding them up and sending them home). I like driving to the beach with my wife of 43 years, watching the waves, the boats, and the sunsets. In business, I like meeting new people and working with my hands to create something new or restore something old.

What things cause you stress?

+ -

I dislike being late, whether being late to a meeting or missing a targeted completion date for a job.

PRESIDENT

Josh Nelson

What do you love about working at the company?

+ -

Our people! I love building and investing in our team. It takes great people who are excited about what they do to be able to serve our clients well.

What do you enjoy about serving clients?

+ -

I enjoy finding out the reasoning behind their project. Every project has a story, whether it’s that special playroom for when the grandkids come to visit, a screen porch to create a quiet spot to get away from it all, or to breathe new life into an old family cottage so the next generation can build similar memories, every project is unique.

What “little things” do you consider yourself a highly skilled expert in?

+ -
  • Communication – keeping the clients and team informed.
  • Details – getting them right (details make or break a project).
  • Big Picture – keeping the customer’s dreams and goals in mind.
  • Organization – keeping job sites clean and organized. This is true for the office, too!

What other things bring you joy?

+ -

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.

What things cause you stress?

+ -

I want things to be orderly—a place for everything and everything in its place.

What do you love to do outside of work? What is an interesting fact about you?

+ -

I enjoy building furniture for my family. My goal is to create one unique piece for each of my children. I have two down and 4 to go!
