Constraction reviews in Lincoln, Nebraska

Great experiences on two remodels. Trustworthy, high quality, transparent, and personalized. Master bathroom and basement renovation were excellent and looking forward to our next project!

DONT HIRE THEM. Carlson Projects is not a reputable resource and should not be seen as a company you can trust. They do not look for a resolution to the specific problem but rather they jumped to the biggest more expensive conclusion and convinced a buyer of our house the repair was needed to proceed. What they told the buyer has no validity to the truth or to the roof that is in question. They didn't not notate the actual issue in their report and did not make the buyer aware of it. Then when they learn about it from us, they blame me for improperly doing a repair that wasn't proper. There should be a big red flag to anyone who is looking for a ceramic tile roof person in Lincoln. They don't fully investigate the situation and jump to major conclusions.

The guys at Carlson Projects really know how to drastically transform a space, and they do it exceptionally well! Working with them is a great experience, they have a team full of people who will take care of you from project start to finish. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend Carlson Projects after they did a complete reconstruction of our kitchen-dining room area. They listened carefully to our original request and then gave us a set of images to help us visualize how the new rooms would look. They advised us on counter surfaces, flooring, lighting, color scheme, and appliances, and helped us on shopping trips to make our selections.

Demolition of the old spaces and removal of resulting trash was efficient and considerate of our needs (we stayed in the house for most of the time, as did our two ancient cats) and they produced a minimal amount of dust and no collateral damage. They removed a wall that was not load-bearing, but for extra safety installed a laminated beam to insure structural integrity.

The granite countertops they helped us select are beautiful and carefully fitted to the cabinets.

The work crews that came in were friendly and efficient: cabinetry carefully made, electrical work, plumbing, floor and backsplash tiling, dry wall and painting all according to code and of excellent appearance. They followed up on details of fit and touch-up on any detail we asked them to look at.

The resulting kitchen and dining area is a fine enhancement to our home (1920s "Craftsman Cottage") and we are enjoying learning to use the up-to-date appliances they helped us choose. The workspaces came out just right -- this was one area to which they devoted a lot of attention.

The cost of this project was less than a competitive bid. They stayed within the initial budget, adding only a few extra costs (for example, designer-type cabinet fixtures and an amazing pull-out corner cabinet) that we approved during the initial phase of demolition.

The guys at Carlson Projects really can capture the vision of the customer and make it reality. Their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are outstanding. I would highly recommend them for your next remodel project.

Carlson Projects helped me out when in a bind. We had a big rainstorm and the roof was leaking. I gave them a call and Scott Carlson and his crew came out right away to repair the leak. I highly recommend them for your roofing and remodeling needs.

I was given an Estimate of 4-6 weeks for completion / not in writing-my mistake / It took well over 15 weeks.
One example: one period of time men worked 1.5 days out of 30. Even an item in contract listed was not completed, wall unit incorrectly installed, and I did not get items I was told would be included.
Poor backsplash tile installation/when I mentioned my concern and to tear out and redo/project manager “hollered” at me and argued ( I have witness)
If you are considering a remodel get detailed contract with timeline details and expenses details.
I mistakenly trusted this company.
One positive outcome was their woodworker built a beautiful range hood!

I used Carlson Projects to replace my deck with a composite deck and love it. Stefan helped me pick out a color and material that would work best for my situation. They are very easy to work with and take great pride in what they do!!

Highly recommend Carlson Projects! Not only did they help me out on my project, but they did so in a way that I left feeling like they were as much invested in it as I was. So nice to work with a company that really cares about what they are doing and doesn't hesitate to go the extra mile! Quality work, great accountability, and made the process feel like a breeze.

I had a very good experience with Carlson Projects. When I called for an estimate on a broken door, Stefan was able to come assess it in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable, & was able to answer all of my questions as well as walk me through different options & what would be most appropriate to do with the problem that I had with my door. I will use them in the future if needed.

I am very pleased with Greg Carlson and his team, as they did all the work in our neighborhood (a total of 12 townhomes) after we suffered significant hail damage to roofs and gutters from the May 2016 storm. Our townhome group owners association approached Greg because his company had done a good job on several roof repairs in our neighborhood over the past 15 years, but now the 12 of us needed roof replacement (more than just shingles; in some cases their had been significant wood damage under our previous roofs) and we needed to agree on a single roofing product. Greg and Doug attended a total of three meetings of our association, presented the pros and cons and samples of multiple roofing materials, and described the work that we needed done and why.

The work has now been completed, and the consensus among our association members is that it has been good (our roofs are attractive and recent heavy storms have revealed no leakage or gutter problems), the crews were respectful and cleaned up well, and the price was reasonable. We received good advice in advance of the work and communication was smooth before, during, and after the project. Personally, I feel that Carlson Projects not only met but in many ways exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them.

Stefan, Scott, Heather and team will take care of you. They are innovative problem solvers and great communicators. We had them do a major first floor renovation in 2023. We liked their work so much we’ve rehired them for our basement renovation in 2025!

We hired Carlson Projects, Inc. to remodel a very unique kitchen in one of our rentals. Their design really brought out the beauty of this older home, increased the value of our rental significantly (we actually ended up selling it to the renters!), and they brought excellent workmanship to the project.

Carlson Projects constructed our basement recreation room with a games area, video facilities and a kitchenette complete with cabinets, microwave, stove and refrigerator. Their work was of superb quality and the project was completed on schedule.The management provided excellent guidance and assistance in planning the project and selecting the materials. The employees were friendly and a joy to work with. I have no hesitation in providing Carlson Projects with a 5 star recommendation!

Not to make things awkward, but my husband and I were the potential buyers of the home mentioned in the one star review. Carlson Projects was noting but professional and honest about the potential situation we were facing with the roof. They gave us options and in no way tried to sway us from the making the purchase. They were open and honest about the previous conversations they had with the current owners and what was needed to properly fix the issues. I would definitely contact them in the future!

The team at Carlson Projects is more than just another construction company. I can honestly say that they truly care about their clients and go out of their way to make sure the consumer is taken care of. The work they do is fantastic but the customer service they provide is second to none. Thank you to the team at Carlson Projects for caring about your clients!!!!

My wife and I recently purchased a home in mid-Lincoln that desperately needed a kitchen overhaul. We called the guys at Carlson Projects and it was a breeze! Stefan did an incredible job of managing the project and giving us honest advice when we asked for something that may not be in our budget or that may not last. He and his team worked very hard to get us one of the best kitchens we've ever seen. Even with a little hiccup waiting on cabinets that were back-ordered (not their fault), Stefan communicated clearly and worked tirelessly to get us there. Could not recommend these guys enough. If you want the best, call them today.

Carlson Projects is a company you can trust to take care of you, whether you need to replace your roof or remodel your kitchen/bathroom. I've been particularly impressed with how they help customers make their vision become reality in the remodeling realm, which is clear from the fantastic work they share on social media. We will certainly use Carlson Projects for our next kitchen and bath remodel.

In 2017 Carlson Projects performed a complete home renovation for us that involved about every aspect of residential construction imaginable. From a complete exterior transformation including new roofing, gutters, windows, siding and stone veneer as well as the addition of a new front porch and a large sun room on the back of the home. The interior was first completely gutted, and a wall removed dividing the kitchen from the great room. And then every room in the home experienced a complete makeover from floor to ceiling. We received a solid estimate along with a lot of help in choosing design and finishes though out the project. Some companies would hesitate to take on a job like this because of the many complexities involved. But the key factor for them is their people. The crew leader was on site every day and his attention to detail was awesome. Everyone working in our home was polite, thoughtful and striving to do a great job. There were literally thousands of decisions to make both big and small and it was a true team effort on their part to help us through them and make our dream home a reality. I would highly recommend Carlson Projects if you are needing this type of remodel.

Carlson Projects completed a big remodeling project in our bathroom earlier this year - turning a hallway, closet and existing bathroom into one laundry/bathroom combo space. We have never remodeled anything in our home before, and they were so helpful walking us through each piece of their proposal, the itemized pricing, and helped us make choices to stay in budget and still have what we wanted at the end. Everyone who came to our home and worked was thoughtful, professional and did high quality work. Any time we had a question throughout the process, it was answered quickly and thoroughly and our project was completed in the amount of time they estimated. We've been so happy with our newly remodeled bathroom. We will absolutely work with them again on future projects and would recommend them with no reservations!

Carlson Projects does such a good job! They did my roof at my first place and then did repairs on the roof at our new house after high winds tore off a bunch of shingles. A different company put on the roof and made mistakes which Carlson Projects was able to explain and point out so I knew what to expect for the future. Their prices are very reasonable and they are very quick. I was amazed at how fast they completed the work both times! I highly recommend them!
