Architecture. Design.
Craft. All under one roof.

For over two decades, Nicholson has guided Central Ohio families through full-service renovations — with architects, designers, and craftsmen working as one team, from first conversation to final walkthrough.

Every space in your home, transformed by one team.

Most remodeling projects involve a handoff, from architect to designer to contractor, with no one truly accountable for the whole.

There is no handoff at Nicholson. Our designers, and master craftsmen work as one team, on every project, from the first sketch to the final detail.

The design build process

Every Nicholson project starts as someone's everyday home and ends as the space they can't stop showing people. The walls stay in the same place the house has always known, but the light, the flow, and the feeling of the room change completely. This is what that transformation looks like, one family, one kitchen, one home at a time.

A design-build firm brings together the creative vision of design with the practical know-how of construction. They specialize in managing projects from concept to completion, offering a comprehensive approach that integrates the design and building processes seamlessly. With a focus on both functionality and aesthetics, they ensure projects are delivered efficiently and to the highest standards of craftsmanship. Their expertise lies in navigating the complexities of design and construction while maintaining clear communication and collaboration with clients, ultimately bringing their visions to life.

Every project is unique, but most follow several weeks of design and planning, followed by construction that ranges from a few months to a year depending on scope. We provide a clear timeline during the Proposal phase.

Not at all. Many clients come to us with ideas, inspiration, or simply a desire for change. Our team will guide you through the design process and help shape your vision into a clear plan.

You will work closely with your Design Consultant and Project Manager throughout the course of your project. From our initial engagement to the culmination of your project, our Design Consultants serve as steadfast guides throughout your entire remodel. Upon the start of construction at your home, our Project Managers diligently orchestrate daily operations, scheduling, and communication between you and our team of craftsmen, ensuring oversight from inception to completion of your project.

We cover this in detail on our Cost & Investment page. Budget discussions begin during the Discover phase and are refined as the design develops — with full transparency before any commitment.
