The list you have been putting off.
Every house builds up a list. A door that sticks, a soft porch board, a hole in the drywall, an outlet that stopped working. Each one is small. Together they wear on you. Nexus Build Works takes the whole list and works through it, in one visit when the list allows it.
Send us the list with a few photos. We tell you what we can fix, what needs a second visit, and what belongs to a different trade. You buy the parts and materials, and we tell you exactly what to get. Nexus is based in Ladson, close to Summerville, Goose Creek and North Charleston.

How we check the work
The cause, not only the symptom
A door that sticks often means the frame moved. A soft board usually means water is getting in. We fix the cause when we can, and tell you when we cannot.
Into framing
Grab bars, railings and heavy shelves go into studs or blocking, not into drywall anchors alone.
Tested before we leave
Every outlet, switch and fixture we touch is tested. GFCI outlets are tripped and reset on purpose.
Wood that lasts outside
Replacement wood outside is primed on every side, cut ends included, before it goes up.
Patches that disappear
Patches are feathered wide, primed and painted, then checked with a light across the wall.
Where the job needs a permit, the building department inspects it too, and its rules come first.
