When we started this project, craftsmanship was by far the most important thing to us. Our existing unit had already been beautifully renovated, and our biggest fear was that by combining it with the unit below, we would somehow compromise what we already loved about our home. We weren’t looking for the cheapest or…

NS Builders were fabulous to work with! We did a complete gut and remodel of two condos that we put together and we couldn't be happier with what was done, how it was done, and the timeliness of its completion! The cabinet makers within NS Builders (Materia, Ken DeCost and his team) were phenomenal!! All the…

NS Builders is a professional, detail oriented group that values quality and accountability. They bring both a high level of expertise and desire to find better ways to build. I highly recommend working with them if you have the opportunity and on the off chance they are not the right team for the project; they will be honest, and let you know.
