About Neighborhood Masonry Specialist

Building a Legacy Through Craftsmanship

As the owner of Neighborhood Masonry Specialist, I’ve built my career in a traditionally male-dominated industry through hard work, persistence, and a commitment to doing things the right way. What began with a focus on masonry and concrete has grown into a full-service exterior construction company, now including roofing, asphalt, and structural renovations—all grounded in integrity and quality.

Becoming a licensed builder was a major milestone in that journey, reflecting years of dedication and growth as a business owner. My focus has always been on leading a company that delivers value, protects homeowners’ investments, and strengthens the communities we serve.

I’m proud to lead a team that shares a commitment to honest service and high standards. Together, we believe every project is an opportunity to improve the neighborhoods we work in.

At Neighborhood Masonry Specialist, construction is more than what we do—it’s how we serve our community.

Love Thy Neighbor isn’t just our slogan. It’s the foundation of everything we build.

Crafting Excellence in Stone and Brickwork

In an industry where experience and reputation matter most, Nichole built her place from the ground up. She earned her builder’s license and launched what has become a trusted name in masonry, concrete, and roofing. Her motivation wasn’t titles—it was credibility, quality, and the desire to raise the standard of craftsmanship.

What began as one woman’s vision has grown into a true family business. Each member of the team brings unique skills and the same commitment to excellence. Her eldest, Jamie, serves as Master Mason and Lead Foreman, setting the bar with meticulous stonework and attention to detail. His brother Julian leads the sales side with sharp insight and professionalism. Jamie’s wife, Carlie, has been keeping the books and is a vital part of the growing business. This isn’t just a business, it’s a legacy.

At NMS, projects are approached with the belief that homes are meant to be restored, not just patched. From chimneys and porches to custom patios, driveways, stamped concrete, and retaining walls, every project blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Whether it’s adding LED lighting to a new stamped concrete driveway, designing a grand entrance, or restoring historic masonry, the goal is always the same: lasting beauty, durability, and value.

In recent years, the company expanded into roofing, offering solutions that combine timeless design with advanced materials. From designer asphalt shingles to synthetic cedar shake and slate alternatives, each option is chosen for both its elegance and longevity. Finishing touches like handcrafted copper trim, fascia, and seamless half-round gutters elevate each project with details that age beautifully over time.

What sets NMS apart is not only the skill of the work, but also the philosophy behind it: treat every client the way you’d want to be treated. That simple rule has shaped the company’s reputation for honesty, reliability, and superior results. In Michigan’s challenging freeze/thaw climate, that also means staying ahead through continuing education—ensuring techniques and materials always meet the highest standards.

After more than a decade, Nichole and her team remain dedicated to building with integrity—structures that hold strong, families that work together, and a lineage of craftsmanship that endures. Whether you’re restoring a historic property or investing in your forever home, NMS is here to deliver a seamless experience and exceptional results—from chimney to downspout.
