From the first meeting, they earned our trust with honesty, clarity, and real professionalism. > We wanted something unique: a smaller, modern home rooted in Scandinavian design. They embraced that vision and helped us make thoughtful choices about where to invest for lasting quality. The budget they presented at the start was the one they delivered in the end with no surprises or hidden fees. > Their communication was exceptional. We always knew what was happening and why, and they made the whole experience feel calm and organized. They even finished ahead of schedule, which still amazes us. > The craftsmanship is beautiful, with great attention to every detail. Our home is energy-efficient, timeless, and truly ours. I tell everyone: if you want a builder who keeps their word and truly cares about both the process and the people, Nickelson Construction is the one to choose. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Louise, > > Thank you so much for this amazing review. It means a lot to hear how much you love your Scandinavian-style mountain home and that the experience felt smooth, honest, and collaborative from start to finish. > > Bringing your vision to life — with its clean lines, minimalist design, and focus on energy efficiency — was truly a special project for our team. We’re proud that we met your timeline and delivered a home that reflects your style and values so perfectly. > > We’re grateful for your trust and couldn’t have asked for better clients to work with. Enjoy every moment in your beautiful new home! > > Isaac Nickelson \| Owner > Nickelson Construction > And the Nickelson Construction Team **★★★★★ — Esben Retboll, Oct. 2025** > Nickelson Construction built our custom mountain home, and it turned out better than we ever imagined. > We wanted a Scandinavian-inspired design — modern, efficient, and warm — and they brought it to life with great attention to detail. The communication was fantastic, and they helped us make smart design and budget choices without ever compromising quality. > The build was completed on time and within budget, which almost never happens! We now have a home that feels both architecturally unique and perfectly “us.” Highly recommend them for anyone who wants a truly custom, high-quality build. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Esben, > Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us with your mountain home. It was an absolute pleasure bringing your Scandinavian-inspired vision to life. From the clean, modern design to the energy-efficient details, every element reflected your thoughtful approach to living simply and beautifully. > > We’re thrilled the process felt transparent, well-organized, and true to your expectations — finishing on time and within budget is something we take great pride in. > > Feedback like this makes what we do so rewarding. We’re grateful for the opportunity to build your home and hope it brings you years of comfort, inspiration, and connection to the Colorado mountains. > > Isaac Nickelson \| Owner > Nickelson Construction > And the Nickelson Construction Team **★★★★★ — Custom Basement Finish, Jan. 2025** > Nickelson Construction was incredible to work with. They frequently above and beyond in their service. > The basement turned out amazing and exactly how we imagined it. They were incredibly thorough and paid attention to every fine detail. Amazingly, they took care of everything behind the scenes from permits to inspections so all we had to do was work directly with them. All of their crews, and especially Steven, who we worked with directly throughout the process, were amazing. I was particularly impressed that whenever we had a concern, question, or comment, the team was receptive and responsive. I can't recommend them enough. **★★★★★ — janezuc, Dec. 2024** > We could not be happier with our sunroom addition and deck by Nickelson Construction! The entire team was a pleasure to work with from the first consultation through the final reveal. They were able to take our ideas and concepts and guide us throughout the entire process from the initial design to final construction. The construction superintendent, Steven, kept us informed every step of the way and promptly addressed our questions or concerns. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the finished space made our addition blend perfectly with the main structure. Nickelson Construction turned our vision into a warm and welcoming area that we will be able to enjoy for years to come. **★★★★★ — mitcch, Nov. 2024** > We really can’t say enough about Isaac, Steven, and the rest of the team. They added an over-sized garage, a large driveway, a laundry room, pantry, and home office as well as did some significant exterior upgrades. The whole process was wonderful. We felt like our ideas/thoughts were listened to and considered, while appropriate design/cost-saving suggestions were communicated thoughtfully. The upfront process was a bit hard for me to understand at first, but it turned out to be worth the time and careful planning as it set the rest of the process up for success. While nothing in construction seems to be cheap these days, I fully trust this team to give honest and fair prices while still ensuring the highest quality work. And, importantly, we paid the exact number that was given to us in the initial pre-construction phase unless we made a subsequent change/addition. The project was completed on schedule and as expected. All of the subs that showed up communicated how high the standards of professionalism and quality were expected of them by the team. Our property was considerately cared for and our space was respected by all of them, which was wonderful since we lived at the property during the entire construction. Isaac and Steven do everything by the book… All T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted and you just don’t have to worry about something going awry. Having been through some less than ideal prior experiences, this is a welcome change—the design, engineering, construction, and finishes were all vetted and guaranteed. Our project was finished about 7-8 months ago and we’ve had no surprises or problems except for 2 minor things: a garage door opener issue that they sent people to fix the next day and a cabinet door that broke from our dog—they fixed it free of cost. But all doors still open and close perfectly, no settling or cracks in the drywall, the driveway is a dream, no one walks away without commenting on how great the result turned out… we could go on and on. Through the whole process from start to finish they have been very responsive, very kind, and very good. In fact, we are still thinking and dreaming about a phase 2 (hopefully the last one) and there is no chance that we will go with anybody else. I’m sure there are lots of great home remodel/new build companies out there, but Nickelson Construction is at the top of that list. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Thank you so much for this glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that the entire process—from design to construction—met your expectations and that you felt heard and well taken care of throughout. It's always our goal to provide transparent communication, top-notch quality, and a smooth experience, so we're glad to know that you felt the results lived up to that. We really appreciate your trust and kind words, and we’re looking forward to being part of your future plans for Phase 2! Thanks again for choosing Nickelson Construction. **★★★★★ — Chrissy Pilley, Oct. 2024** > Nickelson did an amazing job from start to finish with our big kitchen remodel! Clear and timely communication was important to us, and both Isaac and Stephen were excellent communicators. The budget and timeline were accurate, so there were no big surprises along the way. They set realistic expectations, were highly knowledgeable, and had very good attention to detail. I really have no complaints - any issues that arose were pretty minor and were promptly addressed. The quality of work is absolutely stellar. I would 100% recommend Nickelson for remodels and/or new builds; we hope to work with them again in the future! **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Chrissy, Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure working with you both. We’re glad to hear that the kitchen remodel met your expectations and that our communication, budget, and timeline were on point. It’s great to know that you were pleased with the quality of work and our attention to detail. We truly appreciate your recommendations and look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Deb, Aug. 2024** > Isaac Nickelson of Nickelson Construction is one of the most professional, fair, thorough, and friendly contractors I've worked with and the entire staff at Nickelson are super! From the initial interview with Isaac and working with the project manager and designer all went smoothly and any time I had questions, they were quick to respond. There were no surprises along the way and if we needed to make a change, the process was discussed and seamless. I would work with Isaac and Nickelson Construction again! I've referred two of my friends and they also loved working with Nickelson! Plus I love the fact they are a small, family-owned business! **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a smooth experience from start to finish. It’s always our goal to provide professional, responsive service, and we’re so glad you felt that throughout the project. We truly appreciate your referrals and your support for our small, family-owned business. We’d love the opportunity to work with you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Harris Timberworks, May 2024** > I am a custom cabinet maker and I have had the pleasure of working with Nickelson Construction on numerous projects, including several stunning custom homes, and I can confidently say they deserve every bit of a 5-star review. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched. I highly recommend Nickelson Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and dedicated construction company. They have earned my trust and respect through years of outstanding service, and I look forward to many more successful projects together. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Chris, > > Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation and for being an exceptional trade partner. Your kind words about our professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence mean a lot to us. We value the trust and respect we've built over the years and are excited about the many more successful projects we’ll work on together. **★★★★★ — C&L Verbeck, Nov. 2023** > The Nickelson Construction team rebuilt our house after it was destroyed in the Colorado Marshall Fire. They created our forever dream home! The team worked with us from concept to detailed design. The design process was agile and positioned us to build on a quicker schedule as we didn't have to work with a designer and a builder. Their custom process fit our needs perfectly giving us the latitude to select everything but assisting with advice where needed. Once construction began, the team on the ground didn't miss a beat. Their communications and project management were outstanding. Quality has also been outstanding. Nickelson also stuck to the original price and had a mature process around change management. Whether you're looking to remodel or rebuild, this team will not let you down. **★★★★★ — tkdb, Nov. 2022** > Nickelson Construction was very professional throughout the entire course of the remodel. Our remodel took quite a bit longer than expected, but this was not Nickelson Construction's fault. In fact, Nickelson did everything possible to make up for the shortcomings of the associated party that was not under the purview of Nickelson. Jason Chavez the project manager was very respectful and timely. He always provided an explanation and assumed responsibility when appropriate. Communication is key during a remodel and Jason was a professional. I would highly recommend Nickelson Construction for any home remodel project. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Hello Tyler & Darlene, > > Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback of your recent experience with us. > > I think your project turned out great! I hope you and the family enjoy your new space. > > Sincerely, > > Isaac Nickelson \| Owner > Nickelson Construction > info@NickelsonCo.com **★★★★★ — Kelly Maurer, Nov. 2022** > We chose Nickelson Construction for our 2021 home addition after interviewing and receiving estimates from over a dozen contractors. They weren’t the lowest estimate, but neither were they the highest. They won the job because their estimate was the most transparent and detailed, they were the best at communication, and they were willing to customize against our budget in an honest, thorough manner. From the first estimate, Isaac indicated that his goal was a limited number of change orders through the course of the project so that we stayed on budget. He knows what he’s doing because once all was said and done we only had a total of three minor change orders that were completely because of us as homeowners changing our minds on a feature. > > Even during a pandemic when labor and supplies were in short supply, the project stayed mostly on schedule and within budget. The quality of the workmanship was above reproach and, in the couple instances we asked for a rework or change, it was done without hesitation and to our satisfaction. We lived in our house with small children through the renovation and here are some highlights that made this possible: > Great communication was maintained throughout the project, streamlined through a competent and thorough project manager. > A consistent schedule was maintained and our own needs as homeowners were considered. > The subcontractors that were brought onsite were professional and courteous. > The jobsite was kept tidy and contained. > Our furniture and belongings were taken care of respectfully > > We’ve been living in our addition for a year now so can attest to the completeness of the job and prompt attention to any of our post-construction inquiries. We will absolutely be working with Nickelson Construction again in the future! **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Hi Kelly, > > Thank you so much for your thorough feedback. Working with you, Andrew and your family on your home addition project was a pleasure. > > We are grateful to be a part of such a big decision and know that you and your family will enjoy your home for years to come! > > Sincerely, > Isaac Nickelson \| Owner > Nickelson Construction **★★★★★ — Bob Williams, Nov. 2022** > My wife and I hired Nickelson Construction to remodel two circa 1980's bathrooms in our home. They did a fantastic job and our bathrooms are now state-of-the-art and beautiful. Nickelson's project manager was a pleasure to work with and I will use Nickelson for our future home remodeling efforts. **Comment from Nickelson Construction:** > Hi Bob, > > Thank you so much for your feedback and review.
