"I I hired Tyler to clean my gutters and replace a downspout. He and his help finished up in about an hour. Great work, cleaned up after the job, all good! I will be hiring him for other projects I need done."

Small jobs welcome

I have spent the last four years remodeling and constructing new buildings, working for other companies such as Hausmann Construction and Samsung Construction—including on the renovation of the football stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. I have carried out renovations of churches and schools, as well as basements, garages, bathrooms, and kitchens. Now, I have established my own company, and I am ready to apply all my expertise to grow my business.

"The work went awesome. Frank was always quick to respond to phone calls and requests. He went out of his way to get us moved up in the schedule and even did weekend work to get this one completed in a timely manner. They took great care in setting up and getting all areas well covered and protected from dust. The work was completed in a quick manner and was extremely high quality. Would recommend to anyone."

"Great company to work with! I have a daylight walkout basement and wanted a patio cover installed over the entryway. Ken came out and talked to me about my options, and had great suggestions. The company did a great job of communicating with me about when the job would start, how long it would take, etc. I am extremely happy with the results. The entryway is beautiful, and looks like it's part of the house. Several neighbors didn't even realize we had added a cover to the entryway - it looks that much like the house! Very happy with the quality of the work done."

"We were very happy with the results. The work really transformed the appearance of our home interior. Dates for work were agreed upon and kept. Phone calls were always returned promptly. This company will probably not be the cheapest, but it will be one of the best groups with which to work. They will help with ideas and will deliver great work with a minimum of hassle."

"It has gone fairly well so far. Rick has been out to the house (outside of town) 3 times in gathering details for the renovation. I was somewhat disappointed that he felt I should get an architect involved due to the age of the house (113 years old) and the time he would have needed to do drawings for the work to be done in order to secure the required permits. That turned out to be a good decision, as there were isses in the roof and floor joist existing construction that were successfully addressed at Building and Safety by the architect. <br /> The second disappointment has been in scheduling the work. I understand that it is a busy time, and that is good for his business. But having first contacted Rick in June and being told at that time they were scheduling in August, I had hoped for a start in October after getting the drawings from my architect. It turns out they are looking at the first or second week of November, and that could be a problem due to family issues requiring a trip to Florida in November. <br /> The work was started in November and the weather was cooperative. Opening up the northwest corner of the house was a little scary that time of year, but work went quickly and Jeremy Carpenter (I know ... Carpenter the carpenter) was extremely cognizant of the possible problems and took all precautions. He and his apprentice, Kevin, were very careful to try and keep things square and plumb when connecting to this 114-year old house. It took about 2 weeks to accomplish this part of the project, but for family reasons, the renovation of the second floor was postponed until spring. They successfully sealed up the <br /> unfinished deck above our living room and it was free of leaks during the rest of the winter during several snows and a couple heavy rains. <br /> So we began the next phase in April (rainy season?), I had removed all plaster, lathe and tongue and groove flooring from the second floor. As the superstructure of the old hip roof and knee walls was taken away, it became apparent the it had provided some support for the floor and that without that support, the floor would need to be stiffened up - basically rebuilt with doubled up 2x6s. That was a pretty major additional expense, but as I said, you never know what will pop up when you start fooling with these ancient houses. The floor was reinforced and they started opening up the roof to recieve a new ridge beam and 2x6s replacing the 2x4s of the hip roof. Gaping holes in the roof are a little scary in the month of showers, but Jeremy and Kevin were careful to make sure every thing was buttoned up with heavy plastic when they left for the day. <br /> This part of the project took about a month and when Willet was done, I had an entire new roof applied by White Castle Roofing. <br /> As with any old house, this is a Work In Progress, but I fully intend to have Willet help me with it whenever I deem it necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hickman, NE

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
