Comprehensive Construction Services in Central Texas:
Your Single Source for Custom Builds, Renovations & More
Whether you're building your dream home from the ground up, transforming your existing space with a complete renovation, or need specialized services like roofing or kitchen remodeling, Niessen Construction brings 33 years of expertise to every project. One trusted team handles it all.
One Team, Complete
Accountability, Peace of Mind
If you've ever managed a construction project, you know the challenge of coordinating multiple contractors. The electrician needs to come after the plumber, but the plumber is delayed. The framer says the foundation isn't ready, but the foundation contractor insists it's perfect. You become the general contractor by default, spending your time making calls, resolving conflicts, and hoping everyone shows up when they say they will.
That's why Niessen Construction operates differently. As a true full-service general contractor with 22 skilled specialists on our team, we handle every phase of your project internally. When our plumber finishes, our electrician is already scheduled to arrive. When our framers complete their work, our drywall crew knows exactly when to start. You get one point of contact, one timeline, one team that takes complete responsibility for your project from start to finish.
"With 33 years of experience spanning every aspect of construction, from ground-up custom homes to specialized renovations, we've built our reputation on being the only call you need to make. Whether your project is a $300,000 custom home or a $5,000 bathroom remodel, you receive the same commitment to quality, communication, and customer satisfaction.
"As far as full gut remodeling goes and home builds from the ground up, we cover it all. The labor part of it's not a problem. We've got all that covered."
- Charles Niessen, Founder
Major Construction Projects
These are the projects that transform lives: building the home you've always dreamed of, completely reimagining your existing space, or expanding to accommodate your growing family. Each requires comprehensive expertise across all construction disciplines, precise coordination, and unwavering attention to quality. This is where our 33 years of experience truly shines.
Custom Home Building
Your home should be more than a place to live. It should reflect how you actually live, with spaces designed around your family's routines, your entertaining style, your work-from-home needs, and your vision for the future. That's the difference between a custom home and a tract home built for everyone and no one.

Full Gut Renovations & Complete Remodeling
Sometimes the best home for your family is the one you're already in, just reimagined. Whether you've outgrown your layout, inherited a fixer-upper, or found a property with great bones but outdated everything, a full gut renovation can transform an existing house into your dream home while keeping you in the neighborhood and school district you love.

Custom Home Building
When your family expands, your parents need a place nearby, or you want rental income from your property, moving isn't always the answer. A well-designed addition or ADU lets you stay in the home and neighborhood you love while gaining the space you need. The challenge is making new construction feel like it was always part of the original home.
Niessen Construction specializes in additions that seamlessly integrate with your existing home, both aesthetically and functionally. Whether you need a master suite expansion, family room addition, garage conversion, or complete accessory dwelling unit, we handle all the complex d Read Read more…

Specialized Construction Services
Not every project requires building an entire home. Sometimes you need a new roof, a kitchen that finally works for your family, a bathroom that's not stuck in 1985, or exterior work that improves your home's curb appeal. These focused projects deserve the same expertise and attention to quality that we bring to major construction. With 33 years of experience across all construction trades, we've seen and solved just about every challenge that can arise.
Roofing Services
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against Central Texas weather: intense summer sun, sudden hailstorms, and occasional heavy rain. A quality roof installation protects your investment for decades, while a poor one leads to leaks, damage, and expensive repairs. Learn More

Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where families gather, where homework happens between meal prep, where morning coffee turns into evening wine.

Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms take more abuse than any other room in your home: constant moisture, daily use, cleaning chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. An outdated bathroom isn't just ugly, it's often inefficient, difficult to clean, and potentially harboring mold or water damage you can't see.

Our Construction Process:
From Vision to Reality
Every successful construction project follows a clear process. We've refined our approach over 33 years to ensure you know exactly what to expect at each phase, from your first phone call to the day you receive your certificate of occupancy. Transparency eliminates surprises and builds confidence.
Initial Consultation & Project Assessment
We start with a conversation about your vision, needs, budget, and timeline. For major projects, we visit your property to assess the site and discuss possibilities. For renovations, we evaluate the existing structure. This consultation is free and comes with no obligation. Our goal is to understand your project and determine if we're the right fit.
Step 01
Step 02
Planning, Design & Budget Development
For custom homes and major renovations, we develop or refine architectural plans, creating detailed drawings that capture your vision while addressing practical considerations like site conditions, building codes, and budget. We provide a comprehensive project proposal that outlines scope, timeline, and investment required. You'll know exactly what you're getting before we start.
Permitting, Contracts & Pre-Construction
We handle all permitting requirements with local jurisdictions (Bastrop County, Travis County, etc.), pull necessary permits for construction, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Once permits are secured, we finalize contracts, schedule our crews, order materials, and set your project start date. We discuss financing options if needed and ensure you're completely comfortable before breaking ground.
Step 03
Step 04
Construction & Quality Control
This is where your vision becomes reality. Our systematic approach ensures each trade knows exactly when they're scheduled, so work flows smoothly without delays. We maintain regular communication, providing updates on progress and promptly addressing any questions. We schedule inspections at required milestones and don't move forward until each phase passes inspection.
Final Walkthrough, Inspection & Certificate of Occupancy
As we near completion, we conduct a thorough pre-final walkthrough to address any punch list items before your final inspection. Once you're completely satisfied and all inspections are passed, you receive your certificate of occupancy. We provide all warranty documentation, care instructions for materials and systems, and our contact information for any future needs.
Step 05
Step 06
Warranty & Ongoing Support
Our relationship doesn't end at project completion. All our work is covered by warranty (specific terms outlined in your contract). If you notice anything that needs attention during the warranty period, we address it promptly. Many of our customers become friends and call us for future projects or to refer their family and friends.
Additional Process Note:
Timeline varies by project size and scope. Custom homes typically take 3-4 months from permit to completion. Renovations range from 4-8 weeks depending on scope. Specialized services like roofing or kitchen remodels typically complete in 2-4 weeks. Weather, inspection schedules, and material availability can affect timelines, but we communicate any delays immediately and adjust schedules accordingly.

33 Years of Hands-On Experience
Founder Charles Niessen has been in construction since age 8, learning from family contractors and building experience across every construction discipline. From commercial concrete work on Austin hospitals to residential custom homes, we’ve seen and solved every challenge that can arise. Experience matters when problems occur.
Custom, Not Cookie-Cutter
We’re not a production builder churning out identical tract homes. We specialize in truly custom work tailored to your specific needs, whether that’s a ground-up home designed around your lifestyle or a renovation that transforms your existing space. Every project is unique, and we treat it that way.
Exceptional Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
Our systematic approach and experienced team allow us to complete custom homes in 3-4 months, nearly half the typical 6-9 month timeline. We achieve this through careful coordination, not by rushing or cutting corners. Fast completion means less disruption and earlier move-in.
Transparent Communication
We believe surprises belong at birthday parties, not construction projects. We communicate proactively about progress, potential issues, and any changes that might affect timeline or budget. You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your project or get hit with unexpected change orders.
Local, Community-Focused
Based in Red Rock and active in the Bastrop County community (Chamber of Commerce member, local sponsorships, fundraising), we’re not a distant corporation. We’re your neighbors. Our reputation in the community matters, which is why we treat every customer like family and every project like it’s our own home.
Budget-Conscious, Not Budget-Driven
We work with your budget to find solutions, not walk away because a project isn’t big enough. Whether you’re investing $300,000 in a custom home or $5,000 in a bathroom remodel, you receive the same attention to quality and customer service. We’re here to help, whatever your budget allows.
Faith-Based Values
Our faith-based approach means integrity isn’t optional. We do what we say we’ll do, treat people right, and build honest relationships. These aren’t just words; they’re the foundation of how we run our business and why customers trust us with their biggest investments.
"All of our customers generally end up being almost like friends. The main thing is that we're very communicative. We make sure that the customer understands exactly what we're doing, when we're doing it, and why we're doing it."
