Nilson Homes Proudly Hands Over the Keys to the Have A Heart Charity Home

2009-05-06T09:34:00.000-07:00

On April 29th, 2009, Nilson Homes had the complete pleasure of handing over the keys to the Have A Heart Charity Home to a most deserving family. The Prieto family were all smiles as they accepted their new keys from Nilson Homes President and Owner, Bruce Nilson.

Marie Prieto explains that being able to purchase the Have A Heart home has been another “miracle” brought about by their daughter, Kaitlyn who was diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder known as PKU (Phenylketunuria). When Kaitlyn was only four days old, the Prietos learned that she was lacking a certain enzyme that allows her to break down an amino acid found in foods with protein. Without this ability, the protein then becomes toxic in her brain and causes severe mental retardation, seizures, along with behavioral and emotion disorders. Because of Kaitlyn’s special low-protein diet, Kaitlyn has been able to thrive and grow like any other healthy little girl. This special diet, along with the medical care required for Kaitlyn, has been expensive for the Prieto family, and although this struggle is no doubt a difficult one, they are incredibly grateful for their daughter.

Everyone at Nilson Homes feels honored to have met the Preito family and be able to affect their lives in such a positive way. It truly was a team effort of the Nilson Homes staff along with many trade partners who donated their time and materials, the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors, Northern Wasatch Homebuilders Association, Roy City, and All Home. Bruce Nilson commented that there has been an extra sense of pride and love that went into this Have A Heart Home project, which has been felt among all participants.
Nilson Homes, on behalf of all who were involved with the Have A Heart Home Project, would like to extend their most heartfelt congratulations to the Prieto family, and hope they will enjoy their new home for years to come.

Nilson Homes is the Proud Winner of the Builder of the Year Award, 2008!

Each year, the Northern Wasatch Home Builder’s Association presents one builder with the Builder of the Year award. This award goes to a builder that exemplifies generosity, caring, and giving of themselves to our community.

In 2007, Nilson Homes finished a Have a Heart home and had the pleasure of presenting the keys to the new home owner. Bruce Nilson was so moved by the experience that he immediately volunteered to build the next Have a Heart home, which is now in final stages of construction and expected to be completed in December of 2008.

Also mentioned was the countless hours and efforts spent by Bruce Nilson on behalf of Nilson Homes to unite the Home Builder’s Association members, and Bruce’s passionate belief that in the current economic climate, leadership and teamwork is key to success.

Bruce Nilson is an example of positive leadership. His dedication to his work and commitment to provide the best quality homes possible set him apart from other builders. These qualities and his concern for others make Bruce Nilson a most deserving recipient of this award. Everyone at Nilson Homes congratulates Bruce on this great honor and accomplishment!

Nilson Homes Gingerbread House

2008-12-22T09:28:00.001-08:00

As a holiday tradition, each year Nilson Homes donates a handmade gingerbread house to be auctioned at the Northern Wasatch Home Builder’s Association. This year, Barbay in our warranty department took on the task and created this amazingly detailed “Nilson Lodge” gingerbread house.
She was inspired to make a rustic style ski lodge out of holiday treats. In order to complete her vision, she used candy canes, cocoa balls, cookies, crackers, marshmellow puff, and of course, lots and lots of frosting. The gingerbread house won best of show and raised $200.00 for the Have A Heart Home.

Nilson Homes Donated this Play House for Auction, Proceeds went to Safe Harbor Women's Shelter!

Nilson Homes recently donated a beautiful playhouse for auction. This playhouse was built by Nilson Homes and their trade partners, who donated their time, talent, and materials to make this project a success. John Davis Construction built the framing of the playhouse, Bennets Paint and Glass provided windows and carpets, and Todd MacFarlane worked on the siding and vents. The rock-work was done by Pine Canyon Masonry and the roof was finished by J&M Sealtight.
The playhouse was the highest selling item in the auction, selling at $3,000! The money went to the Safe Harbor Battered Women’s Shelter. Safe Harbor not only provides a safe place for victims of domestic violence to live, but also provides many rehabilitation services to help put an end to domestic violence.

Nilson Homes is happy to help raise money for such a worthy cause and respectable organization. If you would like to learn more about Safe Harbor and their services, or possibly volunteer, you can visit their website at http://www.womensdvshelter.org/.

Have A Heart Home

2008-09-09T08:03:00.000-07:00

In 2007, Nilson Homes partnered with Northern Wasatch Home Builders Association, Ogden City, All Home, and the Weber/North Davis Association of Realtors to build the Have A Heart Home. The home would be built for a special needs family that would buy it at a substantially discounted price. Many materials and hours of hard work would be donated to make this home possible and bring happiness to a deserving family.

With help from Mayor Matthew Godfrey, keys to the home were handed over to the new owners in early 2008. Later in July of 2008, the Nilson Homes crew showed up in full force to lay sod for the home.

Nearly every Nilson Homes employee was there, including owner, Bruce Nilson. The job was completed in record time due to the team work and helping hands of Nilson Homes.

The owners of the Have a Heart home commented on the attention to detail and quality of their new home that was built by Nilson Homes, and now they can enjoy a beautifully green lawn all summer long.
