knew we had a problem with our fireplace shortly after the first winter freeze. He noticed that we had a draft coming into through the fireplace and it was unbearable to use our living room. The winter of 2013 was not too bad for the Omaha area so we waited until spring to have someone come out and take a look at our fireplace. We contacted the builder he recommended contact the folks that installed it. So we called Fireplace Stone and Patio. To our surprise they wanted to charge almost $100 dollars for someone to just come and take a look, so we opted not to pay the fee and we found 3 other companies that specialized in fireplaces to come and take a look at no cost. For the most part all contractors told us they needed to look at the back of the fireplace to see what if anything was wrong and some suggested that it could be an insulation issue. The winter of 2014 was the same?.lots of cold air coming thru the fireplace and we decided to have fireplace stone and patio finally come out and take a look. Again they said that it would cost 89 dollars for a service call. The tech came in and said that it was an insulation issue. He recommended getting a blower and letting the fireplace run all day and all night. He also recommended installing a pilot light to keep the firebox warm. We installed both the blower $120 and the pilot light switch for $149 and nothing changed. We then contacted the company, the installation manager said it was not their issue to hire a contractor to open the siding and check the insulation. So we did at a cost of $1,300 dollars. The checked the insulation and inspected the box and sealed everything back up. They didn?t notice anything wrong with the insulation. A day later we noticed the cold again and the draft issue came back. We took infrared temperature reading and they back of our fireplace was the same temp as the outside temp?a whooping 13 degrees. The stone around the fireplace was 20 degrees warmer. I reach out to the manufacture (Heatilator) and they told me that when there are draft issues it?s usually an installation issue. So contact Fireplace Stone and patio again and spoke to the installation manager on several occasions and they are refusing to take ownership of the issue and they are refusing to work with me. They said they have pictures of their install and they are not doing anything about it. I even sent them a picture of the back of the fireplace, where it appears that exhaust pipe was not installed correctly and nothing. It?s amazing from perspective how this company is now willing to help. The builder is pointing the finger at them since they installed it. The manufacture is saying that it the installer and the pictures clearly show how the cold air is possibly coming but nothing from them. I hope that my case is an isolated issue because I would have for another family to be experiencing what I?m experiencing and for that reason, I would caution buyers to beware and find a more reputable company for your fireplace needs. I would stay clear of this business since they obviously don?t care about customer satisfaction or running a reputable business.
I had a very frustrating and upsetting experience with Donner Flooring who did demo and tile work for me. They put a hole in my siding and promised to fix it. I got tired of waiting and had someone else do it. Not a big deal to me as I was having work done anyways and it was a quick fix.
They did tile work that came out nice but my doors wouldn't close or open properly, bedroom doors, doors to the washer and dryer, door to the outside. They promised to fix it and never did. I have doors they took down and never put back up. The entrance to the rooms have no lip or cover on the floor, just sharp edged tile for my small child to get hurt on.
They sold me materials for a project that they never came back to do.
I cleaned up after them and found alcohol in one of their drink cups.
To be fair here is the good and the bad.
The good - Nice, friendly and polite; Fair pricing; Good work, the tile looks great
The bad - Does not finish the job; does not keep his word, does not keep appointments and is unreliable
Now I have to hire someone else to come and finish up, I have material that I paid for and no idea what to do with it. And if you think I'm upset, talk to my wife! If you use them DO NOT PAY until ALL of the work is done and get a signed, written estimate.

A professional job done. Austin completed the job in the time that was on the bid. the color scheme was changed in the living room and kitchen and what a wonderful job done in the cover up. You cant go wrong on any project you want done. I will use Van Winkle Painting for future projects.
The receptionist answering the phone (2/17/21) was warm and friendly. The certified appliance technician, Kyle, was professional, fast, courteous, and efficient (and wore a mask, as well as shoe covers, so no Covid concerns or dirty carpet tracks). Thank you!

Thousands of feet of wood fence and deck are installed at residences and businesses across Iowa and Nebraska every year. Without proper treatment, this wood begins to rot and decay the day after it is installed. Most exterior wood structures & fences will only last 7-9 years without proper treatment. More than ever before, owners are becoming conscious of the need to protect their fence and deck investments by staining and sealing the wood. Our stains also beautify your wood structures with many different colors to choose from, or clear coat your structure to keep its natural wood look. We at Nebraska Stain & Seal have partnered with Wood Defender stain and sealing products exclusively, as this product has consistently shown superiority to every single other product on the market today. Wood Defender products saturate the surface of the lumber, penetrating into and sealing the wood, leaving the fence and wood with an even, uniform coating. No back brushing is required.

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Gretna, NE
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
