A Family Tradition

Today, our family continues that legacy, working side by side across generations and carrying forward the values set in place nearly sixty years ago. It’s a rare kind of closeness, one that shapes who we are, how we work, and the standard we bring to every project. What they built then still defines how we operate now.

We carry that work forward with our own experience, dedication, and pride, strengthening the legacy that began in 1966. We’re the hands and voices behind every project, committed to the same honesty and quality that laid our foundation.

The Story of Our Legacy

Since 1966

  • 1966

    Founded in 1966 by Fred A. Nelson Sr. and his son-in-law Frank A. Dickinson Sr. in Birmingham, Alabama, our company began with one simple principle: delivering honest, quality work.

  • 1975

    Fred A. Nelson Jr. became a partner alongside Frank A. Dickinson Sr., marking the next generation’s leadership and strengthening the company’s foundation for continued growth.
