We had an initial zoom consultation with Greg Nelson and appreciated that this was a family owned company and felt our project would receive more personalized attention than at a larger firm. > > During the design and permitting phase, Yokasta and Ashley Sharp were amazing to work with - communication was never an issue and I was always updated during each step of the permitting application. > > 99% of my contact is with my site supervisor, JESUS CEDENA. let me say from the moment I met him, I felt confident in his abilities to manage all the subs and move the project forward. He has bent over backward to ensure I am happy with every aspect of the project. I am never one to shy away from expressing my preference or displeasure in anything, and he has taken all my feedback with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. > > I am 100% comfortable with him being in my home and trust his oversight of the subs completely. It is a large construction project and there have been mishaps along the way- some big some small - but it is the manner in which those mishaps are handled - particularly by Jesus- that have kept me a satisfied client. Jesus has been invaluable to my addition project. As eager as I am to see the final product, I will truly miss his presence when it is over. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > We're thrilled to hear such positive feedback about your experience with Nelson Construction! It's wonderful to know that Greg, Yokasta, Ashley, and especially Jesus exceeded your expectations. Their dedication to providing exceptional customer service is a cornerstone of our company. We're so glad you're happy with the progress of your home addition and look forward to completing this project to your complete satisfaction. Thank you for sharing your kind words! ### All 47 reviews **★★★★★ — Daniela Ossa, Oct. 2025** > Working with Yokasta has been a great experience! She was the designer on a project where I helped the client select furniture for their new space, and she made the whole process incredibly smooth. Yokasta was attentive, communicative, and always made sure everything was going well and that the clients were happy with every choice. She was involved every step of the way, which made collaboration easy and enjoyable. I’d be happy to work with her again! **★★★★★ — Dianne W., Oct. 2025** > Now that our housing restoration was done using Nelson Construction, I wanted to leave a final review. I especially want to thank Jesus and Ruben, the on site managers, for going the extra mile to make sure everything was done correctly, like they would want it in their own houses. When the company was not going to fill the holes when polishing the terrazzo, they found a new company that did it. > Chris, the treasurer, is helping us to sort out the current costs of what we paid so that we can resubmit it to our insurance adjuster. Ashley, in the office, is always available to help me find the right person to contact. All these hardworking people , Jesus, Ruben, Ashley, Matt, Chris, Chris, and Yocasta , are the reasons I would recommend Nelson Construction. **★★★★★ — Ed Mathisen, Aug. 2025** > My experience with Nelson construction has been extremely positive! All throughout the process Matt on the intro to Nelson then Ashley who walked us through Redington Beach to get us approved, Chris helping us with the Web site and finally Jesus and Reuben who were amazing in getting all the subs lined up and completing each job to perfection and his great communicating skills during the process sending us pictures of completed work. Also, Yocasta was very helpful in design questions. > I would be happy to highly recommend Nelson Construction to whomever necessary. if need be? > Thank you much for your hard work and extra effort you gave us!!! **★★★★★ — Dianne W., Aug. 2025** > I wanted to share with you how impressed I have been with Nelson Construction and the people I have worked with there. I wanted to share with you how impressed I have been with Nelson Construction and the people I have worked with there. Jesus was the site manager and Ruben his assistant and right hand man. Both treated my house like it was their own with attention to detail and cost. They were aware that I had to watch every penny to remodel the house after the hurricane. Jesus was a great communicator and talked with me daily through out the project. Ashley went out-of her wayto get my permit problems solved. We even went to the village hall together. Matt was the first person we met and listened carefully to what we wanted in scope and price. Yokasta, the designer, worked with me on style advice and cost. If something wasn't to my taste she found other options that were. Chris offered tech support when the computer and I were not getting along. Now that the job is almost complete I am very happy with Nelson Construction and the job we did together. **★★★★★ — HU-909090591, June 2025** > Nelson Construction and Renovation are true professionals. If they say they will do something, they will follow it through until completion and then continue to follow up to ensure everything is completed the way the client desired > They hire only the highest professionals. > My special thanks to Yokasta, Jesus, Ashley, Taylor and Garbor ( have received many compliments on the cabinets and other area’s that you finished so meticulously. > I highly would recommend Nelson and his team to anyone thinking about any kind of construction or renovation. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2024** > I recently used Nelson for repairs following Hurricane Milton. The Nelson team & Mr. Hammons, my site supervisor, did a fantastic job with the repairs. **★★★★★ — HU-843250794, June 2024** > Dave was across the street on Bay Boulevard from us keeping us informed along with Tim on the progress of what was going on with the construction. One night, there were lights on and we thought somebody was in there. Dave had given us his phone number and we called. He came right over to check it out. Great guy. **★★★★★ — bobchaput, May 2024** > I've hired Nelson Construction & Renovations for two major projects and would hire them again without hesitation. One project combined home repair and renovation, and the second was a major condo remodeling and updating project. In both cases, we regard the professionalism and customer focus as exemplary. Promises made were kept. From proposals to work being performed to accounting, all members of the Nelson Construction & Renovations were engaged and accountable. > > In our most recent project, we found the whole team to be flexible and adaptable as we came up with new ideas as the project progressed. > > We have recommended Nelson Construction & Renovations to several other families for projects large and small. **★★★★★ — BeJ J, April 2024** > This is a long review, but I promise it will be the most honest review you’ll read about Nelson Construction. I read reviews & interviewed quite a few construction companies for my outdoor living space before settling on Nelson; I’m glad I chose them. From start to finish they have been professional & responsive. Greg, the owner, is knowledgable, straightforward, & all of Nelson’s front office staff dealing with my unending emails & calls about the permitting process, allowances, etc. whew, they deserve a medal just for that. > > As the customer, I would advise that you read your contract over & over a few times & ask questions about the finer details of the scope of work before signing it. This is something I would have done differently as the customer to avoid some change orders, albeit they were necessary (like relocation of my AC unit) I would have preferred they be included in the contract on the frontend as we had discussed, but I didn’t catch that it wasn’t included in my contract. > > Prior to the project commencing, I literally, sent their lead designer, Yokasta, a Word doc of my wishlist for my space. She was so patient with me, even when I changed my mind (quite a few times) or told her a particular style wasn’t my taste & sent her back to the drawing board, she never complained. Totally professional. I even sent her my hand drawn, very rough sketches, & inspiration photos of what I wanted. And she & the engineers design plan exceeded my dreams > > Fortunately, I was assigned a site supervisor, Chuck, who is as meticulous as I am about having things done right; ok maybe he’s a little more meticulous than me. I’m sure his spirit animal is a pitbull & I mean that in the best possible way But Chuck’s expertise & years in construction provides him a solid foundation for holding the subcontractors feet to the fire! He was my voice & advocate for making sure the subcontractors followed through & met Nelson’s high expectations of building a quality product. Beyond that, because my home was occupied during the construction, he made sure I knew when the subcontractors would be on site & that my property was secured upon their departure. He really went the extra mile to oversee this project from start to finish. He is the epitome of what a site supervisor should be. > > There were a lot of challenges with the pool subcontractor but Chuck & the Nelson team made certain things were up & running for me before I signed off on that aspect of the project. I don’t care what your budget is, if you’re anything like me you just want to know that you’re getting what you pay for. My family & I are in love with the quality of our outdoor space & we are ecstatic that after years of being in this home we finally have FL resort style living right in our backyard! At some point I’d like to have my primary bedroom expanded & you know who I’ll be calling?? You guessed it, Nelson Construction! **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Wow, thank you SO much for such a thorough and wonderful review, Ms. Johnson! We will absolutely take up some of the points you brought up about the change orders with our Quality Control and make sure those get corrected. It was a joy working with you, and we look forward to doing your master bedroom addition when you are ready. Enjoy your Florida paradise!! **★★★★★ — Lynn Greco, Jan. 2024** > Very professional and easy company to work with for our home addition. We expanded the kitchen of our two bedroom Florida bungalow by knocking down an exterior wall. Also adding an office. I was super nervous about the project, considering the weather and exposure of the house, but Jesus, the GC, was amazing. He sent me photos everyday and kept me updated with texts since we were not living there during the project. The new addition is gorgeous and solid. Also notable was the quick response time of the owner, Greg, anytime I had a question. The ease of working with Ashley for purchases. The friendly help of Pam, for paying the invoices. All of the subcontractors that Nelson uses are above expectation. Project went smooth and they accommodated all my change orders in record time. Will use again for bathroom reno. Do not hesitate to call them. > Photo of kitchen. Photo of office from backyard. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Wow, Lynn, thank you so much for your kind review! **★★★★ — Susan Park, Dec. 2023** > We had our initial contact with Greg Nelson in May of 2021. Our goal was to convert our 1979 duplex into a single family home. It took until 10/2022 to get everything approved with the city/county. Once done Nelson Construction was quick to get the project started! Joe was our construction supervisor. He started off handling a lot of the demolition and re-engineering of the structure. Then Chuck Hammons stepped in towards the end of April 2023. Chuck has worked very hard in making sure all the fine details are taken care of. He’s a great asset and really cares about the product he produces. We’ve had quite a few twists and turns but he, along with Greg, have helped us overcome these obstacles. Chuck promised to get us into the house for Christmas and he kept that promise. We still have some cabinetry and finishing touches to be done but the house is beautiful and very livable. I’m confident that Gabor, who does their cabinets, will do a great job in finishing them. Thank you all for working hard to get us into our home! I’ve attached the original structure picture so you can see what they were working with to get it to it final product! **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you for your review, Susan! It was great to work with you and we're so happy you love your new home! **★★★★★ — sara1335, Dec. 2023** > We’d hire them again in a heartbeat. They fully renovated a family home for us in Dunedin. New roof, windows, fixed many issues, expanded the house to three bedrooms, and gave it a full makeover. All within the agreed budget and ontime. After the project they followed up on their work. Jesus took great care in watching over the property. Greg the CEO was always available to us. Really a first class team. Don’t look any further. This is the solution you need. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your review, Sara! It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Shawn Float, Dec. 2023** > Professional, Caring, Competent are how I'd describe my experience. The construction and home remodel, not only met my expectations but was truly impressive. Thank you so much for your care! **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your kind words, Shawn. That really means a lot to us. We're so glad you enjoyed the experience. It was our pleasure! **★★★★★ — Hal Good, Oct. 2022** > We would definitely hire Nelson Construction and Renovations, Inc again without reservation. Their entire team was effectively dedicated and responsive to our needs despite a global volatile disrupted supply chain and pandemic-driven environment. We were very impressed by their agility and ability to adjust to changes driven by outside forces while they provided options and expert advice at reasonable costs and timelines. Our project included a major kitchen renovation for our recently purchased single-family home which was built in 1968. The home had only one previous owner and while it had been well maintained, needed the expected (and some hidden and unexpected) electrical and plumbing upgrades. We opened up walls to create a fully open space environment and are very pleased with the end results achieved collaboratively with Nelson's expert team. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your review, Hal! It was great working with you and Jaye and we're so happy you're enjoying your new home. **★★★★★ — HU-68304211, Dec. 2021** > Nelson Construction & Renovations, Inc. is simply first rate all around. One stop shopping from amazing customer service to execution. Nelson Construction & Renovation is my exclusive go to for commercial buildouts. I am on my second project in the last 12 months. I can not say enough amazing comments. I highly recommend Nelson Construction & Renovation for all you construction needs. **★★★★★ — jchristman, Dec. 2021** > I signed an agreement with Nelson Construction to renovate my kitchen and create an open concept living space. They did an amazing job. My expectations were definitely exceeded. The entire Nelson team is top notch. Dominique did an outstanding job on project management and Juan, Frederick, Kevin, Diane, Yokasta, Gabor, and Pam made the entire process go as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend them for any home renovation project. **★★★★★ — HU-517149156, Dec. 2021** > We added a master bedroom onto the house and Nelson Construction did a great job highly recommend always does what they say they’re going to do **★★★★★ — harvey\_kerstein, Dec. 2021** > Nelson Construction has been working on our home remodeling project. My wife and I are very impressed. The job foreman, Jesus has been on our job site nearly every day from roughly 7:00 A.M. He has been expertly overseeing and coordinating the many subcontractors with a smile. I highly recommend Nelson Construction as we have been very happy with all of the staff that we have communicated with throughout our project. Supply chain bottlenecks have made constuction more challenging and Nelson Construction has done an admirable job working through them. **★★★★★ — Roberto Gonzalez Ruiz, Dec. 2021** > Very professional and good quality work. Thank you very much for everything and I hope to be able to work with you again. **★★★★ — Dan Fry, March 2021** > Overall, Nelson was a delight to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Our finished product (room addition) is of high quality and meets our expectations and vision. One of Nelson's strengths involves their open and uninterrupted communication to the customer. We always knew where things stood and what was happening next. One of their strongest assets is appointing a Site Supervisor to be involved with us every step of the way. If not daily, we saw our Site Supervisor (Eli) every week. He was extremely patient with us and didn't seem to mind answering the myriad of questions that we threw at him. Toward the end of the job I must admit that we were disappointed with the quality of work exhibited by a few of the sub-contractors. To Nelson's credit, they were Johnny On The Spot and made things right. In the end, it all worked out to our satisfaction. > > Would we hire Nelson again? A definite and resounding "Yes". **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your review, Dan! It was a pleasure to work with you, as well, and we are delighted to know that you are happy in your new home. **★ — joshfulford, March 2021** > Very unethical company and it comes from the top with the owners Greg and Dominique Nelson. The owners will lie and steal your hard earned money. Do not use Nelson construction renovations inc! We signed a design build contract for a home remodel that I paid over $13600 for Nelson constructions in house designer to come up with a design with a budget of 300-400k After several months of going back and forth with the design nelson construction and renovation presented us, we are told the design nelson construction came up with is now double or triple the budget of 300-400k. At that point Jan 20th 2021 we called a meeting with the owners Greg and Dominique to discuss a solution that if the revised plans grew out of budget, then we will go back to the original draft Nelson construction presented us on December 3rd 2020 before any revisions were made. That is when they lied right to our face and tried to say it was all a misunderstanding about the budget and what we wanted. We realized then what Nelson construction presented us as the 1st draft wasn’t even able to be done within the notes and budget. So they lied and breached the contract from day one. Everything was in writing so the excuse of not understanding is unprofessional and petty. (In business you make it right to the customers especially when it’s the company that dropped the ball) It’s not like I came to nelson construction with a house plan drawn up and wanted it built for a certain price. This is the plan they gave us that should of been within the budget discussed in detail at our house in October 2020 before we signed. Just look at the reviews across the board this is a pattern with their company this is not the 1st time they do unethical work. This will not be the last until enough people realize what they do. Stay away from this company! I know from all other reviews they will respond to this with a whole bunch of words and lies to try and spin it around on the customers and how they are sorry it didn’t work out and good luck. All I wanted is my money back for the design build contract they breached and only received $3500 of the $13,600 total ! Had Nelson construction done the right thing and paid me back for their mistake then I wouldn’t have had to let the public know how Nelson construction treats a paying customer who did not get what they paid for. I have all text and emails if anyone wants to hear more of how they treated my wife and I please reach out I’m more than happy to share everything. I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what my wife and I did the last 5 months. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Hi Josh. We are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with our service. I took the time to gather some information about your project. In our computer system, which we use to track all the work done by our team, we see that 107 hours were spent by our design team working with you and your wife on your project. Multiple revisions were made to your preliminary designs, at the request of you and your wife. What was originally requested was a simple addition on the front of the house and a small addition of a second story master bed/bath. After all the revisions, the home had doubled in size and involved a full gut and remodel of the entire home. The preliminary design was sent to our contractor, Greg Nelson, for final approval before going to the engineer. He did some value engineering and discovered that the project was out of your budget, at which point he contacted you to let you know before sending it to the engineer. Again at your request, Greg and Dominique then made another complete revision in order to bring the scope of work within your budget, but when that was presented, you and your wife still desired more work done, which would have exceeded your budget. You were provided with the floor plans that were within your budget, as well as a full, 55-page Specifications Book with the finishes for your home. In the end, as you were dissatisfied and did not wish to complete the design package, you were also provided with your refund, at your request. > > Design and construction is a very involved process with a lot of moving parts, and we do understand that it can be difficult to balance everything you want against your budget. And we do understand your frustration. I hope you understand that we did genuinely try to help you create your dream home - Greg and Dominique even invited you into their own personal home, to help give you more of a visual on dimensions and provide some insight. > > Our reviews are from our valued customers, of which we have more than 350 in our database, many of them repeat clients. We have been in business for 16 years and we love what we do, and we love our clients, many of whom are very dear friends to us now. > > We wish you the best of luck and hope you are able to find a contractor who is the right fit for your project. **★ — HU-806451331, Feb. 2019** > My advice is to look elsewhere when you are building a home from the ground up. We would not hire them to even fix their warranty work. Very disappointed in our brand new homes construction and finish work. Look else where. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Hi Kristine, very sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. As mentioned previously, our Quality Control Manager would love to hear the specifics so that we may rectify this and correct any of the personnel that were assigned to your project. We never received any specific feedback from you despite many attempts, so we were unable to address. We are here in the future if you'd like to resolve! And yes of course our one-year warranty stands true and there is no need to "hire" us for the warranty, it is always free of charge. Best wishes to you in your new home (which many have said is the most beautiful home in the neighborhood). **★★★★★ — Vivian Irick, Dec. 2018** > We would hire Nelson construction again without hesitation. The entire team, from the unseen to the seen, were dedicated, responsive, respectful, and patient while we lived through a beautiful renovation. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, Vivian! We're so happy you were happy with our service! It was a joy to work with you on your beautiful home. **★★★★★ — Joan Kistner, Dec. 2018** > I hired Nelson Construction & Renovations for a major renovation of my 3 bedroom condo. The condo was very dated and not only needed a major facelift, we were faced with excessive mold issues due to Hurricane Irma. The Nelson Construction Team designed the new look and completely gutted the entire condo down to the concrete walls. Once all the mold was removed, air quality was tested and the unit was reconstructed with materials to not absorb moisture including the drywall. The designer captured my style immediately and helped me pick out all interior materials, hardware, cabinetry, etc. The cabinetry was custom and made in-house to perfection. Nelson managed the entire project from beginning to end. Nelson complied with city permitting and always passed inspection at every step of the project. I definitely recommend Nelson as your team when undergoing a new build or renovation. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your review, Joan!! It has been such a joy to work with you! **★★★★★ — Steve Fialkoff, March 2018** > My wife and I searched for 2+ years to find a contractor we felt comfortable with to do our whole house remodel. After meeting with Greg Nelson and a few members of his team we knew we had someone we can trust, was knowledgeable, confident they could get the changes we wanted to make done. They shared project photos, gave us references we could contact. I personally spoke to several who had similar jobs done, all were very satisfied with the quality of the work, and most of all the professionalism of the staff. They were right all the folks involved were Great, logistics, purchasing and design ideas. We started the project mid summer 2017, and the were back in our "NEW" home 16 weeks later on time! > My wife and I enjoy the house more and more each day! Thank you Team Nelson! **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your kind words, Steve! We're so happy you're happy with your home and with the service! :) **★★★★★ — Kelly Pedersen, Feb. 2018** > We hired Nelson Construction for an addition and total home remodel. We went with the total design build option as we felt that would be best for our timeline and budget. I had just had a baby and my husband was finishing his Masters so this was quite a transition period to be starting a large project such as this. I trusted them and felt at ease with them from day one. They got my vision and helped me to facilitate it. From going with me to pick up salvaged wood for my ceiling beams and coming through when a vender failed to deliver on doors we ordered on time, the customer service was above and beyond. Going into this project, it seemed like everyone we knew wanted to tell us a horror story about their contractor. I love telling them now that we love our contractor and we would definitely hire them again. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > Thank you so much for your review, Kelly! We're so happy you were happy with the service! **★★★★★ — Husserl Group, Sept. 2017** > I have been referring my clientele to Nelson Construction and Renovations for several years now. I enjoy referring my clients to Nelson because they have the staff, quality and professionalism to make my clients happy and at the end of the day (I have been designing homes for 30 years in Florida) happy clients and a quality built home that shines are the best reward! **★★★★★ — Jillian Metz, Sept. 2017** > Nelson recently finished remodeling our home and we are ecstatic with the results. Nelson stuck to the budget, finished on time, and the results are better than we ever imagined. I highly recommend Nelson for remodel projects. **★★★★★ — Erdei Designs LLC, April 2017** > Nelson Construction has been an extreme pleasure to work with. They are curious and go out of their way to help in any way possible, delivering far more than expected. I highly recommend hiring Nelson Construction for your projects large or small. **★★★★★ — Nadia Zimmatore, Feb. 2017** > I am very happy with the full remodel of our home by Nelson construction. We worked together for 6 months and everything was smooth considering our house is 100 years old! Greg and his excellent team took care of our house and made sure everything was done professionally and carefully. His team is dedicated, loyal and always available. I can only recommend them. **★★★★ — Jim Forsberg, Dec. 2016** > Nelson Construction walked us through our remodeling project from start to finish. We are totally satisfied with the final results. As with most remodeling projects there are unexpected costs and delays due to sub-contractor availability. We successfully worked through each item by being in daily contact with our jobsite supervisor. **★★★★★ — ladoux63, Aug. 2016** > We hired Nelson Cknstruction to design and re do our whole kitchen and dining area! It was a wonderful and painless experience! The workers were all professional, neat, and paid attention to detail! Our kitchen is totally amazing , way better than I ever imagined! They gutted the entire space and now it's a dream come true! Thank you !! Debra Kagan Murray **★★★★★ — Dawn Daugherty, May 2016** > If you are seeking a contractor to renovate/build your home while making sure YOUR details are important, the subcontractors they use are trustworthy and professionals at their trade, your personal property is respected while going through a renovation, the quotes provided are accurate, your own change orders are respected and the end result is FABULOUS then look no further. Nelson Construction and Renovations just completed a project that officially started in January of 2016 and ended with a beautiful and customized home for my husband and me in April of 2016. Words cannot explain how happy we were/are with Nelson Construction, beginning with Greg Nelson himself and his entire team of professionals that run the office and the job site. I have worked with many subs and contractors over the years but I won't have to any longer, I found the complete package with Nelson Construction. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! > Dawn-Island Estates **★★★★★ — annandmargo, May 2015** > We highly recommend Nelson Construction and Renovation, Inc. We are totally satisfied customers. Nelson Construction will always be our first recommendation to friends who want to build. > > Our project was the 2014 renovation and expansion of a 600 square foot 1950s bungalow in Safety Harbor’s historic district. Our goal was to create a space suitable for full-time living while preserving the character of yesterday’s bungalow. Our plan was to renovate the existing home, including a complete redo of the kitchen and bath. We also added another bedroom, bath, laundry room, and outside deck. The square footage was doubled to 1200. > > We selected Greg Nelson as our contractor after weeks of interviewing candidates and comparing estimates based on our architect’s plan. Greg was not the least expensive, but we were impressed with his up-front cost projections and his appreciation of the value of historic preservation. We were also influenced by the fact that he worked with a client representative, Rick Smith of Home Under Control. Since we would not be in Safety Harbor while the project was under construction, we felt it was important to have someone who could visit the site weekly and provide us with photographs and progress reports. As absentee owners, we felt we needed this service for our own peace of mind. We are glad that we opted for this service. > > We developed a $250,000 budget in consultation with Greg. We wanted to purchase our own appliances, cabinets, and fixtures to reduce our costs. Greg was very flexible and agreed to this. While no project is without surprises, Greg helped us think ahead and keep change orders to a minimum. > > Good communication is the key to a smooth project, and Greg was very good in this department. He responds promptly and keeps close tabs on his Project Managers. He is easy to work with and has a great sense of humor. He cares about preservation of historic features and quality workmanship is very important to him. Customer satisfaction is primary. He knows his business. > > There are always small issues which crop up after one thinks the project is complete. For this reason, Greg offers a one year warranty on workmanship and certain materials. We waited for a year to write this review so we could comment on how his company responded to these issues. Greg did not disappoint. Not only does he deserve a five star rating for quality construction, he also gets five big stars for coming back to fix minor problems. > > Pictures of our project can be found on Houzz at http://www.houzz.com/projects/437628. We think you will agree with us that Greg created a beautiful and functional space. > > Ann Morgan & Margo Pfleger, Safety Harbor, Florida **★★★★★ — sgendusa, April 2015** > Nelson Construction is my favorite GC that I have hired over the years. They do high quality work. They are very professional. They are extremely responsive. I received a text from the project manager nearly every day letting me know their progress and if anything unexpected came up. I can tell that they really cared that I was completely satisfied and provided me with a great product and even added in a few things that were beyond my expectations. **★★★★★ — jamieblackstone, April 2015** > We had severe damage from a leak in our home. Though I have a background in the trades, this work was far beyond my capabilities. I could leave my home daily and not worry the work was being done correctly. I returned without the impulse to quickly check to see what needed to be corrected. They were totally open to my design suggestions and worked hard to give me what I wanted - and without the intention to make me feel like I did not know what I was talking about. The results are gorgeous! Sturdy! And Clean! I am told by friends and family they have never seen a more beautiful shower; floor, or rooms. They sent a professional photographer as it is being entered into an architectural competition. I highly recommend Nelson Construction. Jamie Blackstone **★★★★★ — creative\_edge\_design, March 2015** > Nelson Construction did an amazing - on schedule and in budget - job on my project, They went over and above what was requested and produced a beautiful space. Loved them and would definitely hire them again! **★ — Fran Brophy Art, Feb. 2015** > Nelson construction did not deliver, at all. A large 50% deposit was required to start the renovations and the entire project was filled with errors and was completely unsupervised, materials were not ordered on time. Instead of making amends, the owner lowered himself by bullying the homeowner over the phone upon realizing that his sub-contractors could not deliver the job 6 weeks later for a project that required 2 weeks time. On the eve of his deadlines, pictures of the numerous faulty works and unfinished projects were forwarded to him without comment, he responded with a picture of himself smiling, if not to say laughing, at the homeowner at the wheel of his truck. We've been had by a pro in anything but construction. I highly recommend NEVER to use Nelson construction. **Comment from Nelson Construction & Renovations:** > I would like to note re: the above comment that much of this review is false and paints an incorrect and incomplete picture of what occurred here. This job WAS supervised, and more than 50% of the work was delivered and we did not demand any further payment in spite of the additional work that was done. amarie1919 fails to mention that she was going behind our back and requiring our employees and sub-contractors to do additional work that was not in the Scope of Work. Also, the contract clearly stated that there were certain materials that she had agreed to supply, per her discussion with our Sales Manager, but after work commenced she demanded that we supply all the design items that she had agreed to purchase. When the owner spoke with her about these issues, she replied that she had not read the contract or the blueprints (which she signed before work commenced). > > Additionally, when our team politely asked that she respect their work, such as not walk on the wet tile as it would result in an unprofessional product, she replied with, "This is my house; I'll walk where I please." When it was decided that we part ways on this project, amarie1919 sent numerous threatening emails and texts to various employees of the company, threatening them with personal liability and demanding a refund immediately. We worked with our attorneys to document everything, including a Profit and Loss summary, which was emailed to the client in order to help them understand that we did deliver what was paid. No response was made except the above scathing and false review. Nelson Construction and Renovations has dozens of homeowners who are happy to act as references and have been nothing but happy with our service. Additionally, the above comment regarding the owner responding with a picture of himself smiling at the wheel of his truck omits the fact that this picture was sent by mistake, as the owner thought he was texting a friend in Montreal, and he apologized to the homeowners for this error. **★★★★★ — Joy Gendusa, Oct. 2014** > The BEST! We have a house that was built in 1925 and have done numerous renovation projects over the last 10 years. Our most recent project was to rebuild a bridge from the back house upstairs bedroom to a bedroom in the main house. The Nelson team is super professional and their work is impeccable. Out of all the contractors we've used these guys by far had the very best communication skills and stayed in tight communication with us throughout the project so that we were never wondering where they were or how much longer it would take or any of the numerous mysteries that come along with doing renovations! I highly recommend them!! Seriously.... we have a ton of experience with contractors - we've even built a building from the ground up once... Nelson Construction is far above any team we've ever worked with. We will do our next project with them of course! **★★★★★ — davidr77, June 2014** > Nelson Construction handled all the construction work needed for our new house, including plumbing and electrical, as well as framing and window installation. They were on time, very courteous, and friendly. > > We were living in the house at the time, and I have three kids who were fascinated by them and their work, and they were great with my kids as well. > > Greg's guys do excellent work and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for construction or remodeling work to be done on their home. Thanks, Greg, Ryan and Alan! **★★★★★ — Wren, Feb. 2014** > We hired Greg Nelson for renovation services in our kitchen - new sliding doors and a new window. He did excellent work. It was on time and on budget and turned out great. **★★★★★ — dentmanuno, Feb. 2014** > Very professional and responsible construction company. Super clean and always on target. I would pay more just to have them do my future projects just for the quality and piece of mind!~ **★★★★★ — jimjames99, Feb. 2014** > We hired Greg Nelson to take a run down 1939 cottage and completely gut and rebuild it without expanding the envelope. He preserved original details and gave it a fresh coastal contemporary look without breaking the bank. He leveled floors, straightened walls, hurricane-proofed the roof, added all new high-efficiency windows and skylights, cement siding for fireproofing, cathedral ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. We added exposed ducting a/c, tankless hot water, and a gorgeous fireplace. Greg custom built the entire kitchen with handmade cabinetry, his specialty concrete counters, and clever storage solutions. Greg, Richard, David and the rest of his team are the best construction and trim crew we have ever worked with. We look forward to hiring them again for our next house! **★★★★★ — Dwight 'Rick' Smith, Jan. 2014** > I am a freelance trouble-shooter, project manager and client services rep in the Pinellas County area of Florida. I help my clients develop a project through education and introductions to professional all along the way. When its time, I help them pick the contractor, in this case, Nelson Construction and Renos. This was a large addition as well as upgrade to a quaint cottage on a property constrained by wonderful oaks. Though the clients' out of state architect developed the design, we brought in a local firm to interpret and comply with local requirements. From beginning to end Greg Nelson and his crew produced first rate results or stepped in quickly and effectively if a sub missed a beat. Their attention to detail and the personal care and communication of the staff, lifted the clients' satisfaction to a whole new level. Imagine sitting down for an hour and a half with the clients almost a month after the punch was complete and not hearing of a single loose end. Needless to say, they made me look good and my clients are ecstatic. RS **★★★★★ — ArcDesign, Oct. 2013** > Nelson Construction is a contractor I never hesitate to recommend. Greg Nelson takes pride in his company and the work it produces. He's creative and understands quality. > > You won't be disappointed if you get the for your project! **★★★★★ — Russell Missonis Photography, July 2013** > I had just bought a new house and was getting a quote to have my kitchen redone and they gave me a very reasonable quote which inlcuded all that I wanted done. The person who quoted me was very knowledage and I could tell had been doing this for a long time. I had been shopping around to get the best price and they were able to beat all of the other prices that I had gotten. Also, I was shown some of the other work that they have done and it was absolutely perfect! I attached one of the images from another location that they had sent me. In the end I didn't get this work done becuase my house loan had to be done differently and I wasn't able to inlcude the renovations in the loan. I am now saving up to get this done for my new house which I perchased last year. ## Selected projects - [Island Estates Design & Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/island-estates-design-and-build-pj-vj~7939967) - Location: Clearwater, FL - Photos: 27 - Description: This 4,774-square-foot waterfront home was designed and built from the ground up by Nelson Construction and Renovations.

Thx** *(in Photo Questions)* Is the hood custom or prefab? What brand if so? Thank you A: Hello Nikki, This was a custom hood. We have a millwork team that does all the custom finish carpentry for our projects and they can do whatever the project calls for. The hood, cabinetry, molding, island and coffered ceilings for this kitchen were all done by them. If you want them to give your kitchen or bathrooms the same treatment give us a call. Bests, Chris Nelson Construction & Renovations 1174 Court St, Clearwater, FL 33756 (727) 596-9006 **Q: Front elevation** *(in Photo Questions)* Which company built the awning over the front door? A: HI Cyndy, That awning was existing to the house so was built over a 100 years ago. It is quite stunning though! **Q: Hello. How wide are the ceiling boards and who’s the manufacturer?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for a wide planked bead-board ceiling. A: So sorry I'm just getting back to you. I needed to track down this information. Our designer briefed me that this is bead board paneling that is ideal for siding and ceilings - 8ft and 4ft sheets painted with white exterior paint.

Also, What is the tile behind the stove top? Is it the same as the counters? Thank you. A: The range hood is custom and I'm sorry, I don't have the color for the hood. The counter tops and backslash are Montclair Hones Marble. The counter top continued as the backslash all the way up behind the range hood. Hope this helps. **Q: Wrong to assume design-build firm would custom build cabinetry?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hired a design-build firm for a kitchen renovation only to learn that they use a dime a dozen kitchen store for the kitchen design. On top of that, the cabinet brands sold in the store get poor reviews. We were under the impression that the design-build firm would be designing and building, no? A: We are a design-build general contractor with our own millwork shop. For a fixed-price remodel project, we will have an allowance for kitchen and/or bathroom cabinets. We offer the client our custom cabinets as the first option and beat the price of other high-quality cabinets. **Q: Backyard Living \| Los Angeles** *(in Before & After)* Not many backyards in Los Angeles Metro have as much space as this one! We took the space and gave them ways to enjoy the backyard from every corner. This one is now equipped with an outdoor kitchen, a new pergola, new custom concrete table, two outdoor seating areas with fire features (one sunken area), and artistically designed pathways with concrete pavers and turf. Included a waterfall feature from the hot tub into the pool and added fire features on both sides of the hot tub. @IntexDandC \| Twitter & IG BEFORE: AFTER: A: Love it!!! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
