We have a Victorian Era house built in the 1890s. We asked StarCraft to enlarge our small kitchen and design a new kitchen that would reuse as much of our period moldings and cabinets as possible. The result greatly exceeded our expectations.
They used all of our existing cabinets, added new cabinets that exactly matched our old cabinets where needed, and made our renovated kitchen look as though it came with the original house. They matched the oak flooring by having custom flooring made at a local saw mill from trees salvaged from agricultural burn piles.
They were even able to reconstruct our cracking plaster walls with new plaster. I don't think very many remodeling companies can restore old plaster any more.
Our efficient new kitchen is wonderful to work in and easy to keep clean. It has abundant storage and all the modern features, including a dishwasher, disposer and lots of lighting.
We were so pleased with the result, and the price, that we immediately hired them to restore our Victorian bathroom. They refinished our old clawfoot tub so it looks like new, and added a new pedestal sink that matches the decor. The bathroom should be one in two weeks, and we are really looking forward to using it.

StarCraft designed and built a kitchen for my 1950's cape cod house that included an addition so I could have an eat-in area. Their innovated design staff created a kitchen that had everything I ever wanted in a kitchen, including loads of pantry space, an eat-in bar, a ookbook library with window seat and wonderful cabinets and moldings to exactly fit my space and my decor.
The craftsmanship was excellent and they back up their work with a no-excuses three-year warranty. When one of my tiles cracked, they replaced it promptly even though I told them it was probably not their fault. Their follow up services are like you never see any more. Even two years after the end of the project they were calling me to make sure everything was working as expected.
They recently finished by bathroom with the same care and craftsmanship, and they are now working on a design for my patio and deck to be built next year.– Patricia
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Never hire a contractor without checking with the Better Business Bureau, get references and insist on seeing prior work.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Remodeling a kitchen or bath or building an addition to a vintage home with all the functionality and convenience of modern living while still making the space look and feel like it was a part of the original house is both an art and a science that requires a design-build remodeler with extensive experience. We have been doing it successfully for over a quarter century in the Lincoln-Omaha area, and we should be you first call for any old house renovation.

A. * How long have you been doing this work?

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. We are environmentally conscious restorationists. We prefer to repair and reuse anything that can be resotred and reused over buying something new.
