Our “Hole” Family Works Here
Family owned and operated since 1974, Nix Construction enjoys an unparalleled reputation for the highest quality, accuracy, and dependability. We enjoy long-standing relationships with customers who rely on us for fair bids, innovative solutions, and on-time completions.
Beginning in 1974, Claude and Barbara Nix would build their company on the principles of “you’re only as good as your word,” and “do it right the first time.”
We take our commitment to being the best seriously. It’s the bedrock on which we were formed, how we have grown, and why we continue to look forward to the next great challenge.
