The Nicholson Story
Early 90’s
In the early nineties while attending The Ohio State University, Bill Nicholson began his career alongside his older brother, John at Nicholson Evans Construction. Shortly thereafter, Bill had the opportunity to remodel his parents’ home located in German Village. During this time Bill would meet his future business partner, Mike Fought. Collaborating with master finish carpenter, David Collins, it was here Bill found he had a natural talent and passion for carpentry work. After completing a degree in construction technologies, Bill went on to work with other professional firms in the industry, including project managing for Dave Fox and managing a division of J.S. Brown & Company.

2003
After a series of fortunate events in 2003, Bill decided it was the perfect time to establish his own remodeling company in Columbus, Ohio.
Everyone from Bill’s wife to the subcontractors he worked with to clients themselves, kept saying, “You’re so passionate about what you’re doing, why don’t you go out and start your own business?” And that is exactly what Bill decided to do.
With business booming within just a few short months Bill approached good friend and Aeronautical Engineer, Mike Fought for help. A partnership was soon cemented which continues to this day. While Bill brings a passion for construction details and customer service, Mike brings an engineering mind for systems and processes.
