A town full of homes worth caring for

Nevada City’s historic district contains some of the most architecturally significant residential properties in the Sierra Foothills — late 1800s Victorians, Queen Annes, Craftsman bungalows. Many have been bought by new owners who recognize what they have and want to do right by it.

Other homes in town are newer but no less deserving of care. A 1970s ranch on a quiet street, a 1990s home tucked up in the hills — these properties often need the same care: thoughtful remodeling, modern systems, and finishes that fit how people actually live.

For people who chose this place on purpose

The people we work with care about this place — some grew up here, some arrived later for the pace, the trees, the river, the feel of a small town that has resisted becoming anywhere else.

They want their homes to reflect that same care. We understand what they’re looking for, because we live here too.

"Being new to the area and only being here part-time made finding a general contractor doubly difficult. I felt confident to leave NC Builders to do the work in my absence and the end result was superb. They communicated at every turn and kept me updated with photos."
