Nixon Custom Homes has done AMAZING work for us. We used them for complete kitchen remodel including appliances. We were so pleased we had them back for all bathroom remodels. Each time we had top quality workers and construction. All projects were on time and budget (receipts provided) with frequent communication and attention to detail. We can not say enough about the professionalism of Nixon Custom Homes - a refreshingly pleasant experience!

The team at Nixon Custom Homes surpassed our expectations. We remodeled a historic home and their team was there every day working through the plan in painstaking detail, guiding us through the process and adjusting quickly when the "charm" of an old house presented challenges for an update. The final result is magazine-worthy and the experience of working with the Nixon team was one we truly enjoyed. Each person who worked on the house was someone with longstanding relationships with Nixon and so we were able to have the best of the best working on our project. We even finished ahead of schedule
