Nelson Stark Co

Introduction and Overview

For complex construction, industrial development, and large-scale commercial projects across the Greater Dayton and Southwest Ohio areas, a specialized plumbing and site development contractor is indispensable. Nelson Stark Co stands out as a preeminent provider, bringing a robust and integrated approach to construction projects of virtually any size. The company’s foundation dates back to a powerful merger in 1993, combining the extensive expertise of Stark Plumbing, which began its journey in residential plumbing in 1940 before expanding into commercial work, and Nelson Excavating. This merger created a formidable entity capable of handling plumbing, site utility, and excavation work under one umbrella.

With over 90 years of combined experience in the construction industry, Nelson Stark Co has a strong and reliable presence in the regional market, employing over 200 skilled craftspersons, including a dedicated team of over one hundred licensed plumbers. This depth of experience allows us to offer specialized services that extend far beyond a typical residential plumbing repair shop. Our mission is centered on providing high-quality plumbing, specialty services, and site development tailored specifically for the commercial and industrial sectors, ensuring that major projects throughout the state of Ohio are completed efficiently and to the highest standards.

While our core focus is on the demands of commercial and industrial infrastructure, our deep roots in plumbing—dating back to 1940 with Stark Plumbing—ensure that even within these large-scale environments, every detail of the plumbing system is handled with precision. From sophisticated medical gas systems in hospitals to essential natural gas and water systems for new developments, Nelson Stark Co provides integrated solutions that offer a cost-effective and streamlined alternative to managing multiple subcontractors.
