Remodeling FAQs for Discerning Lincoln Homeowners

Big Degon Construction operates under a strict in-house model, meaning every phase of your remodel—from design consultation to final finishes—is completed by our trusted, background-checked team. Unlike many Nebraska contractors who rely on rotating subcontractors, our clients see the same faces on site every day, ensuring consistent quality, clear communication, and maximum accountability throughout the project. This approach is especially valued by design-driven homeowners in neighborhoods like The Ridge and Piedmont who prioritize trust and professionalism.

Project timelines vary based on scope, but most kitchen remodels in Lincoln and Lancaster County take 4–8 weeks, while bathroom renovations typically range from 2–4 weeks. Our in-house team structure—no subcontractors—means fewer scheduling delays and tighter control over the process. We provide a precise project calendar at the outset, and our punctuality promise means we respect your time and home life, minimizing disruption throughout the remodel.

Our written one-year craftsmanship warranty covers all labor performed by Big Degon Construction. If any workmanship issue arises within 12 months of your project’s completion, we’ll return to address it at no cost. This covers installation of cabinetry, tile, trim, built-ins, framing, and finish carpentry. Materials are covered per manufacturer warranties. Our warranty is designed to protect Lincoln homeowners from the ‘post-project abandonment’ so common in the industry.

All remodeling work is completed 100% in-house by Big Degon Construction’s team. This means no unknown workers, no communication gaps, and the security of seeing the same reliable professionals every day. Our in-house model is a primary reason homeowners throughout Hi-Mark, Piedmont, and The Ridge trust us for high-end renovations. It allows for total quality control, site cleanliness, and a seamless experience from start to finish.

We use professional QuickBooks estimating software to provide clear, itemized quotes—never vague 'napkin bids.' Most Lancaster County remodels fall within the $10,000–$50,000 range, depending on size, scope, and finishes. Each estimate details all labor, materials, and project phases, so you understand exactly what you’re investing in. For larger or full-home renovations, we offer consultative quotes tailored to your vision and needs.

Respect for your home is a core value at Big Degon Construction. Our in-house model means you won’t be bombarded by calls or texts from unknown subcontractors—communication is always direct. We use clean work practices, protect surrounding areas, and maintain a tidy jobsite at all times. We also coordinate with your schedule, offering weekend work by appointment, so your home’s function and security are prioritized during the remodel.

Absolutely. Every project begins with a pre-construction and design consultation. We work with you to clarify your vision, select finishes (from custom cabinetry to engineered hardwoods and tile), and create a plan that fits both your style and home’s layout. Our expertise in architectural carpentry—like nickel board ceilings and accent wall paneling—helps bring your design-driven ideas to life with technical precision.
