Our Values
Honesty
In life and particularly in the construction process unexpected things arise. Nelson Construction is always honest with our clients about what is going on, the cost implications, the options, and the opportunities.
Communication
We pride ourselves on excellent communication with both Dennis and Elise being fully available to our clients for phone calls, texts, and/or emailing at all reasonable hours. We communicate the process, progress, budget/expenses, options, etc so that you feel well informed through the project.
Integrity
Most of our client’s feel that we handle our business with integrity- moral uprightness. We do not cut corners or rip people off; we fix any mistakes until the job is done to everyone’s satisfaction. This is how we have been so successful via word-of-mouth referrals for 25 years.
Passion
Every member of our team enjoys what they do and the part they have in the process- everyone has a bad day now and again but we continually show up with positive attitudes just because we are passionate about our jobs and the beautiful projects we have the pleasure to be a part of building.
