Remodeling Built for Bennington’s Newer Homes
Bennington grew by nearly 40 percent between 2010 and 2020, and most homes here are young. Houses in neighborhoods like Ridgewood, Bennington Park and Bennington Lake were mostly built in the last 10 to 15 years. That usually means sound structure, builder-grade finishes and, very often, an unfinished basement.
That’s the sweet spot for the work we do. We design your space in 2D and 3D, lock in a fixed price, and run the project with someone on site every day. You get the upgrade your home was ready for, without the surprises that make people put it off.
Why Bennington Families Trust Platte + Pine

Homeowners Who Recommend Us
We had an incredible experience working with Nick and the Platte and Pine team! They finished our basement, and from start to finish, the quality of the work, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding.
What stood out to us most was the character of the company. You can tell that Platte and Pine genuinely cares about doing things the right way. Everyone we interacted with was professional, respectful, honest, and took pride in their work. We never felt like we were just another project or a number. There was a genuine commitment to making sure we were happy with the process and the finished product.
Nick and the Platte and Pine team did an amazing job making the entire remodeling experience as smooth as possible from start to finish. Nick communicated consistently throughout the project so there were no surprises. They stayed on schedule, followed through with every commitment and genuinely cared about getting the details right.
Platte and Pine will be my first call for every future project and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make your house a home. You will love the experience.
Amazing remodel work, I truly appreciated their transparency and honesty. They earned my trust early on and they did everything they said they were going to do and did it well. I had been worried about general contractors in the past but Nick and team truly changed my perspective and updated my home to something I am so proud of. I am grateful for their expertise and hard work along the way!
Nick recently finished our basement. It turned out better than we could have imagined. Communication EVERY DAY about the who, what, when and why throughout the entire process. Thorough from day one through the last day (and even after). Will follow up in about a month after to see how things are settling and fix anything needed. Incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. Attention to detail and quality in workmanship and the final product. Will be getting our repeat business when we’re ready to start the other projects in our home. Worth every penny and then some. Thanks again Nick!!!
This guy is great!
Nick runs a tight ship. He is organized, detail oriented, and truely wants whats best for his clients. Any remodeling, ADU projects, or general contracting Platte + Pine is your best option in the Omaha market, hands down!
We worked with Nick and his team on a basement project for one of his clients. They did an excellent job communicating, thinking through all of the steps, and great attention to detail.
Would recommend to anyone considering a home remodel project or an ADU.
What Bennington Homeowners Are Building Right Now
Basement finishing leads by a wide margin. Builders in Bennington typically left lower levels unfinished, and families who bought in the last decade are running out of room upstairs. The wish list is often the same: a family room, a guest bedroom, a full bathroom and space for kids to play. Every basement we build includes our Forever Wall System, sound-dampening insulation in the ceiling and interior walls, and moisture-resistant drywall in wet areas.
Kitchen upgrades are the second most common request. Builder-grade cabinets and counters wear faster than the rest of a newer home, and many owners want an island that actually seats the family or a pantry that holds more than a few shelves of groceries.
Home offices and flex rooms come up often too. For families who work from home even part of the week, a quiet, well-built office in the basement or a converted bonus room changes how the workweek feels.
Bennington Permits and Inspections
In Bennington, building permits and inspections are typically handled by Douglas County’s Permits and Inspections Division, while zoning stays with the City of Bennington. That split catches some homeowners off guard, especially on projects that touch the exterior or add square footage.
We coordinate both. For an interior basement or kitchen project, we file the permit and schedule each inspection. For decks, additions or detached structures, we confirm setbacks and zoning with the city first, so the design is approved before you spend money on it.

Questions We Hear From Bennington Homeowners
Who handles building permits in Bennington?
Building permits and inspections in Bennington are typically handled by Douglas County, and zoning questions go to the City of Bennington. We file the permits, schedule inspections and coordinate with both, so you don’t have to.
My home is only a few years old. Is it worth finishing the basement now?
Often, yes. You already paid for that square footage, and finishing it adds bedrooms, a bathroom or a family room without moving. We’ll walk the space, check for moisture and mechanical constraints, and tell you honestly whether it makes sense. Most of our basement finishes run $80,000 to $150,000 or more.
How long will my project take?
A basement finish typically takes about 90 days. Kitchens run 5 to 8 weeks and bathrooms 2 to 4 weeks. We give you the schedule before we start, and someone from our team is on site every day.
Do you give a written, fixed price?
Yes. Once the design and selections are done, we price the full scope in writing. That’s your price unless you change the scope or we find a structural issue behind the walls.
How far is Bennington from your office?
About 15 minutes from our office in Elkhorn. That’s close enough for us to be on site every day and to get to you quickly if something needs attention.
