At NIX 1 Construction LLC, we take pride in our work no matter how small or big the project. From a residential remodel to a commercial build out, we can make your vision a reality.

"Nix 1 did an amazing job with enclosing my patio and now I have a sunroom that will serve as an office space that I have needed for quite some time now. They truly turned my dream into a reality that far exceeded my expectations. I was amazed at how efficient and professional they were, as well as organized, thorough, and detail oriented. The quality of their work was exceptional and I couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. In fact, my neighbors (who watched them work from the side lines) have been equally impressed and haven’t stopped commenting on the quality of their work and how nice my new addition looks. I would highly recommend Nix 1 Construction to anyone and without a doubt would hire them again should I have another need in the future."

"It took THI a year to complete the project. Biggest problem with this company is lack of communication across the entire company, including Steve, the owner. We were to have windows installed in July 2021 but nobody came to install or told us they were not coming. This went on throughout 2021 with scheduled appointments and then several excuses for why they were not coming. We didn't know they were not coming until we called and asked them. Finally in October 2021 2 installers came to put in windows. Ted, the installer started talking how he could "build up the bottom of the window" and we asked why he needed to do that. 1 window was 3" shorter than the old window and the other 5 windows were 4" shorter than our old windows. We refused the windows and sent them back with Ted. Nobody bothered to call us about that. Finally, we get an install date for May 1. Again, no show, no call. At last, Ted showed up on June 13 and had windows installed and wrapped by Friday. We were on vacation the following week. On Monday, June 27 I texted Ted to see when he would be back to finish trim and staining on inside. He "wasn't sure". On Friday, July 1 I emailed THI explaining that my husband starts chemo on July 7 and it would be great to have this project behind us. Ted came on Saturday July 2. A walkthrough was scheduled for 2 on July 5. When Quinn didn't show up or call by 3 I called him. He has covid and thought his office would call and reschedule appt. On Wed. AM Corey came, took pictures, left some THI stuff and picked up the check. We have never had so many problems with a company communicating with us. These people can't be trusted to follow through on much of anything. It's terrible I had to play the "cancer card" to get a response."

Second story addition building services FAQs

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
