Need a crew that shows up on time, communicates clearly, and gets the job done right?

A pergola or arbor can completely change the feel of your backyard. We craft these custom features to give you shade, style, and a space you’ll actually want to spend time in—whether it’s to entertain friends or relax in peace.
It’s the finishing details that really make a home stand out. We take care of both trim and fascia work to protect your structure and give it a clean, finished look inside and out.
Old windows and doors dragging your home down? We install energy-efficient models that look sharp and help reduce drafts, while also adding a little style to your home’s exterior.

Luxury vinyl plank is a go-to for homeowners who want style and strength without the high price tag. We make sure it’s installed correctly with clean lines, tight seams, and finishes that feel high-end.
Need a better spot for books, coats, or electronics? We build custom shelving and storage features that fit right into your home and make every room more useful and personalized.
Need more square footage? We build thoughtful home additions that flow with your current layout and add value where you need it—whether it’s a new bedroom, bonus room, or home office.
Want to hit refresh on your whole space? We handle full remodels from start to finish—redesigning layouts, updating finishes, and giving your home a brand-new feel while staying true to your style.
If your business space needs a facelift, we’re ready to help. We remodel offices, shops, and more with finishes and layouts that make the most of your space and help your team or customers feel at home.
Setting up a new business location? We handle everything from walls and floors to lighting and paint so the space is move-in ready, up to code, and easy to operate in from day one.

Rene did a screen repair for me. He was prompt, professional and did a great job. I highly recommend and will definitely use his company again. Justin GriffithsJanuary 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rene did an excellent job for me. I’ve got several more projects for him in upcoming months. It started as a referral from a friend. I had window issue that I thought would require replacement. Rene showed up, assessed the problem and advised replacement was not necessary. He was able to make minor repair on the spot at no charge. Then we moved into gutter work needed. He took measurements and had estimate back to my that evening. His crew came out and installed gutters two days later. They did a great job. Benjamin LesterDecember 15, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had Next Step perform more than a handful of projects over the last 2 years for my new home. Some small and a couple much larger jobs. Super responsive and just flat out does quality work. You won’t be sorry. Sleep well and know you’re in good hands with these guys. Becky HessDecember 13, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
