We do a bit of everything from due diligence/ inspection report repairs, to remodels, as well as custom built in features.
History
Established in 2015.
I started the business in 2015, as a 21 year old single mother, with $36 to my name. I started with paint and maintenance jobs on craigslist, leaning on my background growing up in the construction industry, carpentry/agriculture schooling and helping my mother manage her rental properties. I went back to school for home inspection after steadily growing for a few years and falling more in love with the trades and running my own business. Here we are 8 years later, with a tight knit crew of five. I wouldn't trade any of the incredibly hard work and tough lessons it took to be where we are as a company today.
Nichole Messer- Owner
Meet the Business Owner: Nichole M.
My name is Nichole Messer, I am native to Asheville, a mother and bonus mom with a passion for anything home related, creative and hands on. I started this business back in 2015, but I've been around this line of work my entire life, my grandpa was a carpenter, my dad was a roofer, my mom worked for a home builder most of my childhood and has several rental properties which we maintain, in high school I took every agriculture, carpentry and horticulture class I could in high school. I later went on to be a private CNA for a few years and decided that I love working in homes but the caregiving work was too emotionally heavy. I had my son at 21 when I decided it was time to buckle down and make a career for myself. After applying to many construction companies and getting rejected for being a woman I decided I had to make my own opportunities. That is how Olivewood Construction Company LLC was born.
