Two families' worth of house turned back into one: in a 2017 review, a homeowner described Nate Dishington running a three-floor gut conversion of their two-family into a single-family home, from the design-build phase through to completion. A 2020 reviewer had a similar job done over two years and wrote that he carried it from design through getting the plans approved by the town before the building started. Dishington Construction, which also goes by Jensen Hus, works out of Natick under owner Nathan Dishington. The Better Business Bureau puts it at 14 years since it incorporated in 2012, a three-employee corporation, and grades it A+. Houzz lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-101458, alongside 62 project portfolios. The written reviews run 2017 to 2023, and the jobs in them are large. A 2023 reviewer called a kitchen and bath renovation technical and challenging, with the basement stairs relocated as part of the work. A 2018 reviewer's kitchen, two bathrooms and new bedroom flooring ran about four months, and they wrote that the house was carefully protected and respected while it happened. In a 2017 review, a kitchen came down to the studs and went back up on time and under budget; another 2017 reviewer hired for a basement remodel liked the crew enough to add exterior re-siding to the job. Old houses come up more than once. A 2018 reviewer wrote that Nate raised problems with their design choices as they arose and explained the workarounds their very old house needed. A 2019 reviewer who had been through several construction projects with various contractors said he answers questions in a timely way and would be their first call next time. Houzz shows 5.0 from 23 ratings and Porch 5.0 from 22 aggregated ratings, and the Houzz profile carries Best of Houzz service awards for six years between 2014 and 2020. This is renovation measured in months, not a quick fix, so it suits a gut job, an addition, or a kitchen you want designed as well as built. Ask for a milestone schedule and who will actually be on site day to day, and look up construction supervisor licence CS-101458 on the state register before you sign.

Nathan Dishington, owner of Jensen Hus undoubtedly deserves a 5-star rating on Houzz for the orchestration and delivery of a highly technical and challenging kitchen and bath renovation. The project was multi-faceted, involving the relocation of the basement stairs, structural modifications and squaring the walls, ceilings, and floors in a 105-year-old home. No small feat! Nate was extremely responsive in project management, communicating regular updates, and coordinated seamlessly with our kitchen designer and all the trades. The result was truly spectacular. We now have a highly functioning kitchen and bath complete with a huge island and vaulted ceiling and new basement stair location. We could not be happier with this stunning transformation.
Nathan is a true professional with talent in design and construction. We are completing a whole house renovation with new floors, systems, lighting, kitchen and bathrooms. He helped us design our project inside and out, listening to our desires and taste. He has taken us from start to finish and is responsive and works to make sure we are happy with every detail. We give Nathan our highest recommendation for any project.
I worked with Nate and his team over 2 years on a massive renovation project. He converted our 2 family into a gorgeous single family and was there with us every step of the way, from design, to getting the plans approved by the town to the actual work. Always responsive, detailed and accountable in his work, Dishington construction was a pleasure to work with.
Our friends and family had to stage an intervention because all we would talk about is how much we loved our experience with Dishington Construction. We used Dishington Construction to remodel our kitchen, master bathroom, laundry room, deck, living room, hallway, dining room and den. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. Nate is really in the business of building trust by doing exactly what he says all the time. He has created a truly wonderful customer experience by using modern on-line based project management practices, professional communication, and a transparent specification and budgeting process. The quality of work is outstanding. Every sub-contractor we interacted with had great relationships with Nate and followed the methodology he set out. Our house was cleaned as much as possible every night, and every effort was made for us to be able to function during the construction. Sub-contractors had clear instructions and procedures to follow when they had questions or encountered unforeseen problems. Nate was at the site often, solving and preventing problems. When issues arose, Nate provided several solutions based on our goals and budget and let us decide what to do. Also, there were virtually no “down days” where we were waiting for sub-contractors to finish work, as Nate had organized everything so that the project finished as scheduled. We were lucky enough that our also wonderful designer referred Nate to us, and we enthusiastically recommend Dishington Construction for any project. We will definitely be using Nate in the future.
We have undergone several construction projects on our house with various contractors and if we ever do anything else, I would go straight to Nathan Dishington. Communication is key in any project, and Nathan always responds in a timely manner to any of our questions. He is straightforward with descriptions of the work, pros and cons, and explanations of how the work will be done. Nathan finds creative solutions for tricky problems and suggests practical alternatives that were in keeping with the design-related style. He works incredibly hard and the results reflect his craftmanship, creativity, and care for the project and the client! We love our new master bathroom and the updated hall bathroom he did. Thank you Nathan!
