BUILDING ON THE ROCK OF JESUS SINCE 1994.

About Us

Built on the Rock. Built to Last.

Rock Quality Inc. began in 1994, when brothers Rick and Jack Nelson opened shop after years in the trades. Raised in the Midwest, Rick moved to Washington to find steadier work and provide for a growing family. Jack followed, and together they spent four years building their skills in framing, concrete, and general construction.

When the time felt right, they started their own company—grounded in hard work, faith, and a commitment to doing the job right. Rock Quality, named after Matthew 7:24:
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.”

That verse still guides us today. RQI has grown into a multi-generational, family-run business, but our foundation hasn’t changed: build with integrity, treat people right, and stand behind our work.
