COLUMBIA, MO – As growth continues across Mid-Missouri, NOVA Construction & Remodeling is positioning itself as a builder focused on dependability rather than rapid expansion. The Columbia-based firm says its approach is rooted in craftsmanship, open communication, and long-term client relationships.
Founded by Shane Whitaker, JD Rich, and Kara Goddard, the company has developed a reputation for hands-on leadership and disciplined project management. The team oversees residential renovations, commercial buildouts, custom interior projects, and new construction throughout Columbia and surrounding communities.
“Quality work upfront prevents problems later,” said Whitaker, Co-Founder of NOVA Construction & Remodeling. “Our goal is to eliminate surprises and deliver results our clients can rely on.”
Commitment Beyond Transactions
Company leaders say their philosophy centers on responsibility to clients rather than simply completing contracts. Whitaker emphasized that mindset when describing how the firm approaches each project.
“We treat every project as a responsibility, not a transaction,” Whitaker added. “When someone places their trust in us, we take that seriously.”
Co-Founder JD Rich manages much of the planning and coordination that keeps projects on schedule. According to Rich, simplifying what can be a complex construction process is essential to client satisfaction.
“Our role is to guide clients through the process with clarity,” Rich said. “That means listening carefully, planning thoroughly, and delivering on what we commit to.”
Communication as a Core Principle
For Co-Founder Kara Goddard, transparency is the foundation of every successful build. She noted that clients are more confident when they understand each phase of construction.
“Construction works best when clients feel informed and supported,” Goddard said. “We stay accessible, communicate clearly, and follow through. That level of trust is what leads to long-term partnerships.”
The company serves a broad footprint that includes Jefferson City, Ashland, Boonville, the Lake of the Ozarks, and other Mid-Missouri communities. Rather than pursuing aggressive growth, leaders say they prefer to expand at a pace that protects quality standards.
“We’re not trying to be everywhere,” Rich added. “We’re focused on being dependable and earning trust with every project.”
Services and Local Impact
NOVA Construction & Remodeling offers a full range of services, from home renovations and custom interiors to commercial construction and ground-up development. Clients frequently cite reliability, organized scheduling, and straightforward communication as reasons for choosing the firm.
With development accelerating in the region, the company believes local clients are increasingly seeking builders who emphasize integrity over volume.
