Nick's Custom Construction

Follow along step-by-step as we do a complete waterfront overhaul.

So many docks to choose from, here are just a few with some before and after shots.

Here are some of our lifts and a little about how we install them.

Some examples of the wrong hardware discussed in the red warning on our services page and pictures of the CORRECT, SAFE way to fabricate lift cable replacements.

Built-in bar with solid cedar top, deck buffet table with solid cedar top, and built-in grill with brick and granite surround.

Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, floors, backsplashes, tubs and showers, mosaics, inlays, you name it, we've tiled it!

This is what first got Nick into the business, and he still loves doing trimwork.  Here are some cabinetry and trim jobs.  Tired of drywall cracks in your vaulted ceiling sidewalls? Check out Bob and Joan's paneling with crown molding in our gallery and read their testimonial.  To save you money, we get our Sunco RTA cabinets and Hartson-Kennedy countertops manufacturer direct.

Updating your old windows and doors not only improves your curb appeal, but saves you a lot of money in heating and cooling costs.  We love Andersen windows and doors.  Also see our custom profiled aluminum trim.

We also love Larson storm doors. Just like Andersen windows, they are attractive, well built, low maintenance, easy to install, and offer lots of options - the retractable screens are great!

If you don't want to replace your windows, but need to raise your thermal efficiency, the Larson insider storm window is a GREAT alternative at about 25% of the cost of a new window. We installed these on every window for Frank and Pat in their historic home (1939) in Broad Ripple with original leaded-glass (like stained glass) windows. This allowed them to preserve the exterior look of their historic home and lower their heating costs. See their review on our testimonials page.

Yeah siding pictures are a bit boring.  Don't like rippling aluminum fascia and bad corners?  We can fix that! Here are a few vinyl jobs, some standard fascia, and our profiled aluminum trim (different profiles available).

Drop ceilings, post trim,  bathroom additions (with the plumbing UNDER the slab where it SHOULD be) and wet bars (see below).  We can transform your unfinished basement into attractive, functional living space.

Come on, we live at a lake.  What man doesn't want his own bar?

Perfect for people (and Judy's cat) who like the outdoors but prefer some shade and no rain or bugs.

Post-framed buildings are inexpensive and easily customized to meet any need.  Here are a few we have built for use as storage units.

Wooden or composite, plain or fancy, funky shapes or strong enough to hold a hot tub, we can build any deck you can dream up.

Chain link, wrought iron, aluminum, wood, vinyl, we can do it all.

We have built several shelter houses for the Heritage Lake POA and even downsized them for homeowners to use as gazebos.

Obviously I didn't do the brass sculpture, but I did build the trophy bases and the large pedestal with the stone base.  These started out as rough-sawn walnut scrap and a rock from the creek in my backyard.  You can't begin to imagine the hours spent on the planer, jointer, and router table!
