Remodeling in One of Nebraska’s Fastest-Growing Cities
Gretna has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Nebraska since 2000, and you can see it in the housing. Neighborhoods like Aspen Creek, Lincoln Place, Pebblebrooke and Remington Ridge are full of homes built in the 2000s and 2010s, while the blocks near downtown still have midcentury ranches with a very different set of needs.
Some Gretna projects are about finishing what the builder left undone. Others are about updating a home that’s been loved for decades. Either way, we start with design: 2D floor plans, 3D renderings and your selections, all priced as a fixed contract before demolition.
What Gretna Homeowners Get With Platte + Pine
With all the new construction in Gretna, there’s no shortage of contractors. Here’s how we’re different.
blueprint/ruler Design Before We Build
Every project starts with 2D and 3D renderings so you can see your finished space before demolition begins. No guessing. No regret.
Transparent, Fixed Pricing
You get a real number upfront not a lowball estimate that grows by the week. We define the scope, agree on the price, and stick to it.
Communication That Doesn't Drop Off
We stay in contact throughout the job. You always know where things stand, what’s coming next, and who to reach if you have a question.
A Background That Protects You
Nick’s legal training shapes how we write our own agreements: a clearly defined scope, a fixed price, and a schedule spelled out in plain language. No gray areas.

Why Clients 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!

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.

The Remodeling Projects That Make the Most Sense for Gretna Homes
In Gretna’s newer subdivisions, basement finishing is usually the first big project. Homes built in the last 15 to 20 years almost always came with unfinished lower levels, and families who moved in for the schools are ready for more room. We build those basements with our Forever Wall System, 5/8 inch drywall on the ceiling and sound-dampening insulation, so they feel like part of the house and not an afterthought.
In older Gretna, near downtown, kitchens and bathrooms lead. Midcentury ranches often have closed-off kitchens and small bathrooms, and opening a wall or reworking a layout makes the biggest difference. Larger-lot areas like Harvest Hills can also open the door to an ADU, such as a guesthouse for aging parents or a backyard office, where zoning allows it.
Gretna keeps changing, with Gretna East High School opening in 2023 and a new I-80 interchange at 192nd Street under construction. For many owners, all that growth is a reason to invest in the home they already have rather than move.
City of Gretna Permits, Handled for You
Inside city limits, remodeling permits come from the City of Gretna Building and Zoning Department, and applications are submitted in person. We handle that legwork, along with every inspection the project needs.
Because Gretna has grown so quickly, rules can differ between older parts of town and newer subdivisions. Before we finalize your design, especially for an addition, deck or ADU, we confirm what your lot allows so the plan clears review the first time. We’ll also check any HOA covenants in your neighborhood.

Remodeling Questions From Gretna Homeowners
Who issues building permits in Gretna?
Inside city limits, the City of Gretna Building and Zoning Department. Applications have to be submitted in person, and we take care of that and every inspection on your project.
We just bought a newer home in Gretna. What should we tackle first?
For most newer Gretna homes, the basement is the best first project because it adds the most usable space. Kitchens are a close second. We’ll walk your home, talk through how you use it, and help you plan the order so later projects don’t undo earlier ones.
How long does a remodel take?
Plan on 2 to 4 weeks for a bathroom, 5 to 8 weeks for a kitchen, and about 90 days for a basement finish. We set the schedule during design, and our team is on site daily to keep it on track.
What does a fixed price mean with Platte + Pine?
We complete the design and your selections first, then price the entire scope. That number is your contract price. It changes only if you change the scope or we uncover a structural issue behind the walls.
Can I build an ADU in Gretna?
It depends on your lot and zoning, and larger lots give you the most options. We review Gretna’s zoning requirements, setbacks and utility access for your property before design, so you know what’s possible before you invest in plans.
