Bennington is northwest of Omaha and growing fast, with newer homes, unfinished basements and big lots that call for a covered deck or porch. We make the drive gladly.
Most of Bennington's homes are new enough that the basement is still bare, the yard is still waiting for a deck, and the porch is still a slab. Those three jobs are most of what we do in Bennington: basement finishes with a bedroom and bath, composite decks with covered sections, and covered front porches and additions that use the lot.
Permits for addresses inside Bennington go through the City of Bennington; acreages outside the city limits go through Douglas County. We sort out which at the walkthrough, pull the permit under Callaway Construction Inc., and schedule the inspections.
Owner-run since 1995. About 30 minutes from Gretna. Chris Cannon bids the job, runs the job and answers the phone.
Same crew, same owner on site, same line-item bid as every job on this site.
Every town has its own houses. Here is what Bennington homeowners call about, and what we do with it.
Nine-foot walls and a rough-in under the slab make these straightforward: egress bedroom, full bath, rec room, bar, storage. Mechanical room with a real door.
A roof over the deck or a covered front porch with cedar posts and a real ceiling. Engineered for snow load, footings below the frost line.
Room additions and covered porches that tie into the existing roof and siding cleanly, matched so the house looks like it was built that way.
Real jobs from around the Omaha metro. Tap any photo to open it.
Yes. It is about thirty minutes from Gretna and we are out there regularly, especially for basements, decks and porches.
Inside city limits, the City of Bennington; on acreages outside the limits, Douglas County. We figure out which applies and pull the permit.
Usually. We check the slab and footings first; a porch roof needs posts on proper footings, and the roof ties into the house's framing and shingles.
Photos and a rough idea through the quote page, or call (402) 740-6572. Chris will come look at the house and write a line-item bid.
