Additions & covered porches
in Omaha & Gretna

Room to grow, tied into the house like it was always there. Callaway Construction Inc. builds room additions, bump-outs and covered porches across the Omaha metro, matching your roof line, siding and trim so nobody can tell where the old house stops.

An addition is the one remodel where the outside matters as much as the inside. The roof has to meet the existing roof cleanly, the siding and trim have to match, and the foundation has to be done right the first time. That's carpentry, and it's what we've done since 1995.

Covered porches with cedar posts and a hip roof, screened porches, family-room and bedroom additions, bump-outs that fix a cramped kitchen, and the interior finish to go with them.

Owner-run since 1995. Chris Cannon bids the job, runs the job and answers the phone. One crew, one point of contact, no surprises.

Questions we get a lot

Straight answers

Do I need a permit for an addition or a covered porch?

Yes. Anything with a foundation or a roof needs a permit and inspections in Omaha and Sarpy County, and setbacks have to be checked against your lot. We handle all of it.

Will the addition match the rest of the house?

That's the whole goal. We match siding profile, trim, roof pitch and shingle so the addition reads as part of the original house, not something bolted on.

Covered porch or deck?

A covered porch is a roofed, finished outdoor room you use in rain and August sun. A deck is open and simpler. Plenty of homeowners do a covered section over part of a larger deck; we build both.

How long does an addition take?

Longer than any interior remodel, because it starts with a foundation and ends with paint. Weather matters for the early stages. You get a written schedule with the bid.

Do you draw the plans?

We work from your architect's or designer's plans, and for simpler projects like porches we can help you figure out what's needed to get the permit.
