About Us
Bluejacket Builders, LLC was founded by US Navy Veteran, Nick Obrochta. Nick started working in carpentry at a very young age alongside his father who is a lifelong carpenter by trade. After high school, he entered the US Navy as a Hull Maintenance Technician (HT). Nick attended welding school for his job in the Navy and graduated top of his class in Navy "C" School prior to heading out on the fleet to serve aboard the USS Carter Hall (LSD-50). After his career as a Recruiter for the Navy Reserves, Nick moved into the HVAC industry for 8 years. He continued his industry advancement in Facilities Maintenance for a decade, and then moved up to Facilities Management.
A few years of office work in Management work led Nick to the realization that his true passion is working with his hands and remodeling homes. This realization is what propelled Nick to make the jump to start Bluejacket Builders. As soon as word was out, the schedule filled up very quickly. In a matter of two years, Bluejacket has gained 7 employees, and has established an incredible repeat client base. Bluejacket Builders continued growth is due to the ability to provide homeowners with amazing custom spaces!
Giving back to the community is one of the cornerstones of who we are as a company. In the summer of 2025, Nick was appointed as Chair of the NARI Community Outreach Committee. The committee is dedicated to growing the trades in SE Wisconsin by partnering with local high schools through the NARI NextGen Trades Challenge which Bluejacket Builders helped kick off in 2025, and is the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Trades challenge at the NARI Spring Home Show in February.
Bluejacket Builders is looking forward to welcoming you to our family of clients!

Nick Obrochta
President / Owner
My favorite part about what we do is when I get to walk into a space for the first time and I can visualize what it can be before we even swing a hammer. When we walk through a finished space - knowing what it started out as - there is no better feeling than being able to deliver that vision to our awesome customers! I am also very passionate about growing the next generation of tradespeople. As Chair of the Outreach Committee with NARI Milwaukee, we are working with local High Schools, Trades Schools and Youth Apprenticeship Programs to show the pathway to a rewarding a career in the trades!
Hobbies
Outside of work, I love spending time with family, golfing, heading up north for a relaxing weekend, and playing Drums in my band - Tallboy (Tallboymke.com)

I enjoy utilizing my background of customer service and management to keep our office running smoothly. I enjoy assisting our customers in any way that I can to ensure their project meets and exceeds their expectations. My favorite thing about what we do is seeing someone's dream become a reality. I love to see unique ideas and visions come to life!
Hobbies
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 dogs. I enjoy the gym and taking care of my health and fitness. I also love a lazy day at home in my hammock, and adding to my garden. I love checking out local coffee shops and exploring outdoor festivals.
Austin Kuzmiuk
Assistant Carpenter
What I enjoy at work is framing basements and watching a project go from a blank space to the final product. It is a great feeling to be part of watching it all come together.
Hobbies
Outside of work, I enjoy working on my truck and keeping it clean and being outside.
Hailey Savasta
Carpenter Assistant
Hailey has been with us since before she graduated from Franklin High School where she was a Rock Star in the construction program! Using the experience she gained from the NARI Next Gen Trades Challenge, Hailey has been a huge asset to the Bluejacket Team!
My favorite part of my job is meeting the homeowners and getting to see their reactions each step of the way as we get closer to their final vision! I like building cabinets, installing LVP flooring, and doing any finish work on the job-site, especially because you can finally see all the plans and visions come to life!
In my free time I love to travel and see new places. I also enjoy cleaning my car, trying out new restaurants and coffee shops, spending time with my family and friends, hanging out with my five dogs, and I love to go fishing and spend time outdoors.
