Why Nickel's Contracting?

What makes us different than the rest?

  1. We Handle Everything In-House​

Unlike many contractors who subcontract most of the job, we work with licensed plumbers, electricians, and HVAC professionals as part of our team. 

THAT MEANS: 

Better coordination, Faster timelines, fewer delays, and higher accountability. 

You don't have to chase five different companies. We manage it all. 

 2. We Understand Pittsburgh Homes

Pittsburgh houses aren't cookie-cutter builds. They come with: 

  • Aging framing

  • Old plumbing stacks

  • Knob & tube wiring

  • Settling foundations

  • Moisture-prone basements

We know how to renovate older homes properly- not just cosmetically, but structurally. ​

 3. Investor-Minded Project Management​

Most contractors think like builders. We think like investors. 

We understand: 

  • Budget Control

  • Timeline Pressure

  • Appraisal Value

  • Rental Durability

  • BRRRR Strategy

Whether it's your personal home or an income property, we build with long-term value in mind. ​

 4. Clean Job Sites & Professional Standards

Construction does not have to mean chaos. We pride ourselves on: 

  • Organized workspaces

  • Respect for your property

  • Clear Communication

  • Realistic timelines

  • Showing up when we say we will

Professional is not optional - it's standard. ​

​ 5. Precision over Speed

Anyone can rush a job. Not everyone builds it right. 

We focus on: 

  • Straight framing

  • Clean finish work

  • Tight tile lines

  • Proper waterproofing 

  • Structural integrity

We don't cut corners- We build projects that last. ​

  6. We are Pittsburgh PROUD. 

We're not a franchise. We're not a fly-by-night crew. 

We're local. We're invested and building in our own city. 

When we say Precision Built. Pittsburgh proud

We mean it.
