Business Name & Owner Interviewee:
Nasi Construction, LLC ; Wayne Nasi, president
In Business Over 50 Years!

What year did you start and why?
Wayne worked with his uncle before starting up the company in the spring 1976. "I always wanted to have my own business but I had to get my life together before that," he said. He talked about how there are always ups and downs.

What is the main goal of your business?
To be able to meet all the needs of customers, once we have a customer they are for life, we have a lot of lifetime customers. He applauded his employees stating, "the biggest asset are the people that work here, we treat them good." He went on stating there is not much turnover, some employees this was their first job ever and they are still here after many years.
Remember the golden rule, Wayne said, "treat others as you want to be treated."

What makes your business unique?
We can do the biggest and littlest jobs. We built the Hurley School, Minocqua, along with many others. We’ve done massive projects like Saxon Harbor but also small projects such as kitchen remodels and garages.
One other unique thing to note is they haven’t had a layoff in many years, work just keeps coming in!
Wayne says, " You can't specialize in a little area like this, you have to be willing to do it all to keep your doors open."
He goes on to say, "we have a storefront but we do work in a 70 mile radius of Hurley." Once you get known and are reliable, customers want you to do work for them. "We negotiate work & doing things right for 50 years opens a lot of doors."

What is the hardest part of your job and how do you handle it?
Right now he states he has great people, so his stress level is low. "I'm like a captain in the ship, when the waters get rough I'll get involved if they need help," says Wayne. "I appreciate the young people that come here." He loves to see them get excited about learning a trade and to realize how valuable they are when they can learn and get paid. He says, "the more you learn, the more valuable you are and you can take that trade anywhere with you." He enjoys seeing the lightbulb turn on in young people and they go on to do great things.

How can people support you?
If you need a project, give us a call and we'll see if we can take care of it.
Even smaller projects such as kitchen remodels and garages are important. "Our reputation is spotless, we've actually had to say no to some projects because of being so booked," said Wayne.

After asking if there were any other things to add Wayne said, "I grew up here and lived here all my life, there are opportunities here, just like anywhere else if you want to take advantage of them!"
