Highlights
"Great workmanship from start to finish, explained requirements for project and ryan and cade created us a now very usable workspace. Highly recommend for any carpentry needs"
"Needed an air vent in my utility room to reduce humidity. Ryan and his colleague drilled a 4" hole through a wall and fitted a passive air vent kit I supplied, at a very reasonable price. They were very pleasant to deal with and their work was completed neatly leaving no dust or rubble for me to clear up. I would certainly use Ryan again who has a wide range of skills that cover many jobs around the home."
"I was in need of a garden office but I couldn’t find one off of the shelf to suit my needs. Ryan sat down and helped me design the perfect solution. All works have been completed to the normal high standard I have come to expect from Nicholson Carpentry and Building with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Extremely pleased with the results. Would definitely recommend."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
