The short answer

Do you work in Smithville?

Smithville sits about fifteen minutes from our shop in Kearney, which makes it one of the areas we're in most often. Much of the town's recent growth is single-family construction, and a lot of those homes were finished with an unfinished basement and a back door that opens onto nothing — the two things we're most often called to fix.

Worth checkingNewer subdivisions often have association rules on fence height and colour

We're a veteran-owned team with over 15 years of hands-on experience, and what Smithville homeowners get from that is clean, code-compliant results. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and don't leave until the job is done right.

Smithville's growth in single-family residential construction means many homes still lack finished basements or built-out outdoor spaces. Both are worth investing in — they make your home more livable and more valuable, and they're the two things we do most.

Services designed for Smithville properties

Custom deck installation, wood and metal fence installation, exterior painting with Sherwin-Williams products, and full basement finishing from framing through final fixtures. Cover decks and screened-in decks too, when you want the outdoor space to be usable in more than three months of the year.

Spring storm damage is common around here, and we handle both repair and replacement when it hits a deck, a fence or a run of siding.

What Smithville properties tend to need

Smithville's growth has been mostly newer single-family construction, and that shapes what we get called for. A builder-grade home is finished to a price: the basement is left unfinished, and the back door frequently opens onto a small landing or straight onto grade with no deck at all. Both are ordinary omissions and both are straightforward to put right.

Two things are worth checking before you order anything here. Newer subdivisions frequently come with an association that has its own rules on fence height, style and colour, and those rules are usually stricter than the city's. And storm damage is a real factor — spring weather around here regularly takes out a section of fence or a run of siding, and we handle both repair and replacement when it does.

Common questions from Smithville homeowners

What Smithville homeowners ask us most.

Do you charge for an estimate?

Free estimates both in person and over the phone — no obligation required.

Are you licensed and insured?

All work is fully licensed and insured to meet local code requirements.

How does a deck project start?

Deck projects begin with a site visit, material selection, and a written estimate.

Can you handle storm damage?

Spring damage is common here; we handle both repair and replacement.

What does basement finishing cover?

Projects cover framing, drywall, flooring, electrical, and plumbing.

Do you pull the permit for work in Smithville?

We do, and we meet the inspector, as part of the job. Requirements for footing depth, railing height and structural connections are set by your city and county and they aren't uniform across the metro — which is exactly why it isn't a task worth handing to a homeowner.

How soon can you get out to Smithville?

Call and we'll give you a straight answer for the week you're asking about rather than a stock one. About 15 minutes west of Kearney, so getting out to look is not the constraint — the build schedule is, and it's tightest in spring and early summer.

If you want outdoor work finished in time to use it this year, the call is worth making earlier than feels necessary.

Veterans Custom Home Solutions built us a beautiful new deck. They got us on their schedule quickly, allowing us to have our new deck in time for a special event. They showed up when they said they would, built a sturdy and great looking deck with a challenging tie-in to our pool deck, and left the area spotless. I highly recommend Adam and his team at Veterans Custom Home Solutions!

Adam and his team replaced our deck and added a patio in our back yard. He did it all in a timely, detailed way that was also affordable. I will definitely be giving them a call back for my future projects!
