I started Lawrence Welch Construction to bring a higher standard of craftsmanship and luxury remodeling to Omaha. I’m all about the details—the kind of work that makes your space feel truly unique. Whether it’s a full remodel, custom features, or just taking a room and giving it new life, I focus on creating spaces that work for how you live, while looking incredible. I’m not interested in doing the bare minimum. I want to deliver the best. Me and my team are all about quality—using the right materials, putting in the work, and making sure everything is done right. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just beautiful, lasting results. Lawrence Welch Construction is local, but I bring the kind of high-end standards you’d expect from the best in the world. If you’re looking to create something truly special, I’m here to make it happen.

"Buyer beware!! Doesn’t give you anything in writing, will change pricing constantly, and when you settle on a final number for final payment of $2,400, he shows up demanding $6,000 dollars and refuses to leave despite your attempts to recall all the conversations and agreement you had. Work not completed and savings gone.RUN!!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Sagging floors, large cracks in your walls, and uneven door frames are three signs that your floor joists need to be replaced. You may also notice squeaky floorboards, windows that no longer close correctly, and stairs that sag on either side. You'll need a structural engineer or floor contractor to confirm whether the floor joists are the true problem behind these issues.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
