Nick Schiffer
FOUNDER, NS BUILDERS
Nick Schiffer started NS Builders in 2014, fulfilling his lifelong dream to build amazing houses. Applying his education from Fitchburg State University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Technology/Management, and drawing from his real-world experience in building and construction management, Nick made the leap from employee to employer. What began as a small carpentry company quickly earned a stellar reputation for premier home building, large-scale renovation projects, custom cabinet millwork, and even the creation of a digital media company.
At the heart of Nick's success is his family. His wife, Megann, has been his steadfast support, helping him navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Together, they are raising their four children, whose joy and energy fuel Nick’s drive to continue growing his business. Balancing the demands of a growing company with family life, Nick remains committed to being present at home, finding inspiration in both his work and his role as a husband and father.
Nick realized early on that surrounding himself with the right people—dedicated, talented craftsmen who shared his vision for NS Builders—would be one of the wisest investments he could make. And that decision has undeniably paid off. He generously shares his expert advice and first-hand knowledge of building and managing a construction business across multiple social media platforms, including the hugely popular Site Visits. Nick has a firm grasp on how to harness the power of social media, connecting with his followers on a personal level, and providing trustworthy advice, practical tips, and solutions to help anyone take their business to the next level.
Nick’s mission: “To expand the potential of not only myself and my company, but to share my expertise with others. The construction business is always evolving; knowing how to adapt is the key to longevity and success.”
Tyler Grace
Founder, TRG Home Concepts
Tyler is the owner/operator of TRG Home Concepts, a boutique residential remodeling company, specializing in detail-oriented renovations of older homes. Their efforts are primarily focused on smaller projects that afford them adequate time and the budgets necessary for proper design, extensive site-protection, quality installations, comprehensive processes, and the ability to self-perform various trades. He believes that by remaining small, and maintaining intense control over his projects, he is able to deliver an uncompromising product and experience.
Tyler's entire youth revolved around becoming a white collar professional, and steering clear of trades. There was a heavy emphasis on NOT working with his hands as his father did. During his college internships working for civil and commercial construction contractors, he quickly realized he wanted to pursue a more hands-on, self-gratifying path. Despite all the warnings, he started his own residential remodeling company shortly after graduation from Drexel University. It was there he met his eventual wife, Rachel, and they now have two beautiful daughters who keep them on their toes.
Over the past few years Tyler has devoted a considerable amount of time and energy to documenting his journey through the trades. Much of his focus has been on helping other small to mid-size contractors improve their businesses, increase profitability, and achieve sustainability. Tyler currently works with his hands every day, and hopes to continue doing so while helping educate and consult others along the way.
