Historic Preservation
Architectural Conservation
Residential & commercial builder in Austin and Central Texas
Protect and preserve your building or home.
Restoration and preservation work demands a different standard of care than conventional construction. Materials behave differently, techniques must match the era, and mistakes are costly to reverse. James Nolan brings 30 years of hands-on experience with historic structures — including work in Charleston, Savannah, and across Central Texas — so your property is in the hands of someone who knows how to preserve and protect your investment.
Hire an experienced team for any project.
Whether your structure needs comprehensive intervention or you just want a nicer kitchen, our team can help. James Nolan Construction is vertically integrated and can handle both small and large projects, including structural foundation work, custom cabinetry, millwork, steel, finish work, and even paint in-house. When builders need a team that works with older structures, they call us.
Maintaining Austin’s cultural fabric since 2011
James has earned the confidence of institutions that cannot afford to get it wrong. His work includes projects for the City of Austin, the University of Texas, and award-winning commissions recognized by Preservation Austin — among them the Dedrick-Hamilton House and the Wooldridge Square Park pergola.
