Carlson Projects Inc

The Carlson Projects Inc was recommended to me by a friend who referenced how they take pride in their work and pay attention to detail. My introduction to the Carlson family went well and the journey began in creating a beautiful bathroom. I was especially grateful to Cody Allen and Shawn Carlson who provided recommendations with color, design and quality products. This 100 year old house had so many secrets and surprises and Cody and Shawn were able to problem solve and work through every obstacle. Shortly after signing the contract for this project the co-vid pandemic hit the community. I was impressed how the Carlson family and crew was able to respect social distancing and still assist me with product selection and ordering the needed materials to keep the project moving. Most important for me is to recognize Cody Allen for over-seeing this project. He was informative, organized, hard working and has great interpersonal communication skills. He kept me updated to the challenges of an old house and sought advise from his peers. I feel he has a great career ahead of him. Thanks to all the Carlson family and crew!!!!! Alan Fulton

After talking with the company I was told they would contact me within two weeks. I never heard from them again so considering there was no follow up I would give them an F. I chose another contractor.

We had some major hail damage to our roof and skylight. It hailed and rained all the day before, allowing water to seep into ceilings and shattering a skylight. This resulted in major damage. Once insurance comes through, we will have them completely redo the roof. However, it rained again the next night and the patches (and there were many) they did did not leak. There was NO secondary leaking into the house. They put plywood over broken windows and the broken skylight. And, they did all this early the morning following the hail storm. Their professionalism is apparent and since this will probably roll into the total project we don't know the price. However, they are responsible for stopping further damage and doing it quickly. Thanks Carlson Projects!

Carlson Projects removed our old shingles and replaced with new. They also replaced 2 sky lights. Very professional, did good work and were easy to work with.

DONT HIRE THEM. Carlson Projects is not a reputable resource and should not be seen as a company you can trust. They do not look for a resolution to the specific problem but rather they jumped to the biggest more expensive conclusion and convinced a buyer of our house the repair was needed to proceed. What they told the buyer has no validity to the truth or to the roof that is in question. They didn't not notate the actual issue in their report and did not make the buyer aware of it. They told me the repair that I had done was for a seal to a broken tile. When I challenged them and asked them to pull it up, they said it was for a "seal to the stone" which a decorative piece on the top of the house. It needed new mortar or sealant and we had the work done by a different company. They refused to admit they were wrong. There should be a big red flag to anyone who is looking for a ceramic tile roof repair person in Lincoln. They don't fully investigate the situation and jump to major conclusions and report false things.

Every good showed on time and cleaned up after done

I didn't use. I'm confident Carlson would have been fine. The only reason I chose the other contractor is that he could get to the projects sooner than Carlson could.

This was our second project with Carlsons, we had them put on a new roof a year or so ago, and didn't hesitate to get a bid for a complete kitchen remodel and new floors in the kitchen and dining room. They are great to work with, they listen to your concerns and address them completely. Very pleased with the entire project including the cabinet maker, I wold recommend them for any remodeling project.

I can't say enough about how helpful Doug Wiebe is. He was very thorough and responsive and devoted a lot of time to our questions, bringing us samples, making adjustments, and more. Carlson's does use subcontractors, which some people don't like. I was fine with it since Doug remained engaged and checked in on their work more than once. He also followed through on a couple of minor issues that came up after the project was finished. He was very responsive and addressed all of our questions. I was also impressed that Doug and the subcontractor that did the work on the gutters/downspouts quickly rearranged their timeline because of a forecast storm that was supposed to dump a significant amount of rain when we had no gutters on the house. Due to the design of our roof, this could have been catastrophic in terms of water in the basement. They made sure to get gutters up in time for that storm and we were very grateful. We would use Carlson again in a heartbeat and likely will within the next year or two as our roof is due for replacement soon. They are busy during the summer months as are all contractors/builders in Lincoln, so make contact early! It's not their fault; it's just a reality of living in a growing city like Lincoln.

They were very good. They listened to my concerns. They helped find solutions that I was looking for. I just like their products. They were easy to work with. They contacted me promptly and showed up on time.

I was impressed with the professionalism of their salesman but not with the finished work. While this new roof may serve it's intended purpose it does not look like a professional job in many details and my concerns were not addressed at all. Several of the metal valleys which formerly extended all the way to the bottom edge now stop short of the edge. Some still go all the way to the edge and some stop anywhere from 1 to 3 feet short and overlap onto the shingles. It just looks odd and unprofessional that they are so random. I expressed during the bid process that I was concerned that my roof didn't have enough venting. Their finished product has slightly less venting than the old roof. The ridge vents which formerly had finished edges which blended in with the surface now stop abruptly with an unfinished edge. The covers they installed on the plumbing vents are dented and one is slightly crooked. After the first rain on this new roof I found piles of roofing nails in the grass that had washed down the gutter downspouts. While these things may not effect the performance of the roof it doesn't look like a job that was done professionally or with any attention to detail. When I asked about these things I was informed that "the roof was installed properly". If I had known how it would turn out I would have gone with another company.

I sent a letter accompanying a house layout plan detailing what I hoped could be done, requesting a wide open ballpark figure. He never got back to me, even to say that it was an impossibility. I had hoped for some communication, but not dead silence. Now that there is a possibility of buying the home, Carlson is the last person I will reach out to for a consult!

I called several companies to get an estimate for having a two car garage demolished and rebuilt. Stefan was one of the nicest, most professional, responsive people I spoke to. The bid was for a house we were looking to buy (but didn't own yet) and he still treated us like a valued customer. If we do happen to get the house or just need work done in the future we will DEFINITELY call Stefan!! He sent us an estimate just like he promised even though it was near the holiday and it was less expensive than any of the other companies I called. I was very impressed!!

We felt their bid sheet was not very professional. Their bid came in cheaper than some others, but they did not include several items (lighting, hardware, sink), on the bid, and by the time we added those items, they were almost the same price.

seemed to have completed it in a timely fashion. cleaned up afterward to our satisfaction. Greg was on site and assured us it was being taken care of.

Crew came on date arranged and quickly and efficiently completed the project. Clean-up was great; my patio looked cleaner than when they started. I also appreciate that my emails were answered promptly, and when the estimate was given, Greg was personable and happy to discuss different options available.

Went very well, I like this company and the owner, he gave a professional estimate, was the only contractor of six who told us we had hail damage, so we did get some insurance money to help with the cost. All the other contractors wanted to do a ridge vent and he explained the type of roof we have didn't allow for enough ventilation with a ridge vent. We did have some delays, but they were becasue of the insurance and weather, not because of the company. Great clean up, one day install.

Considering my problems, Greg and his crew worked around them as best they could. Everyone was very thoughtful of my recovery situation. The recovery from my second operation was made much easier because of the new improvements to the house. Greg and his wife were easy to contact and are very responsive to needs and requests. With an older house, we had to make changes during the work in process, but the Carlson's handled them very nicely. I am sure that it would be very hard to find more cooperative and friendly people to deal with.

after 4 emails back and forth, I was told someone would be at my house at mid 3:30 PM last Fri, and nobody ever showed up,and nobody ever called or emailed me to explain. I then emailed the company to ask if they forgot, again no response. So needless to say, I will not be hiring them to do any work for me.

On a scale of 1 to 5, Carlson Projects is a 6. We intended to remodel the first floor of our two-story home and got a recommendation from friends for Carlson Projects. Before starting, we met with Greg Carlson and Dave Van Horn and discussed scheduling, planning, purchasing of needed materials and special requests and costs. Our original costs increased affordably as we decided to include more special requests, e.g., plumbing, painting, electrical work. We could not be more pleased with the quality of materials, excellence of work and ease of communicating and flexibility of Carlson Projects. Each and every one of Greg's workers (Greg, son Stephan, Dave Van Horn and his crew) and all sub-contractors excelled at their skills and were so helpful and a pleasure to work with. They made suggestions which helped us to make good decisions. Greg kept constantly in touch with us via e-mail and cell phone, and we could always reach him. In addition, Shawn Carlson, co-owner of Carlson Projects, was unbelievably helpful. She showed us what was current on the market and what would work for us. It is hard to get started when you need to re-do a whole floor. Shawn started us with the choice of granite and helped us with most decisions from there, e.g., lighting, paint colors, etc. We could not have selected or been as satisfied with what we now have without her help. Greg and Shawn are quite a team! Dollar for dollar, worker for worker, contractor for contractor, we can only give the highest recommendation to Carlson Projects for outstanding knowledge of remodeling, professionalism and a person to person interaction that makes you feel as if you have new friends, not just good business dealings.

We thought they were doing everything right, until we realized that they had not put the gutters on our home. It started to rain, and continued on and off for the next two weeks. The rain came into our home and down the walls. We complained, and they came back to make the repairs, but the problem persists to this day.

Greg is a nice guy and does good work. The one thing that he said that made me want to go with him was, "you can train an individual to do the job, but you can't teach pride in workmanship". After I accepted the bid it took him a couple months to come out and do the job. He is very busy and wasn't the best with communication, but he also had a lot on his plate and was very upfront and honest. When he did come out to do the job he got it done quick and did good quality work.

The work went very well and was done very quickly once they started. The crew cleaned up well. I am pleased with the results and hope to have Greg back to do some interior work for me in the spring. He is friendly and patiently answers all of your questions. I can recommend him without hesitation based on the work he did for me. The work on the eaves was not easy since this is an older house, and Greg made sure that it was done the best that he could do with what was here. In fact, he did the hardest part himself.

They were quick. They got here and got it done in three days and got out. They showed up on time. They charged less than the other two people who came and gave us an estimate. Price wise they were excellent. Quality wise they did a beautiful job. They cleaned real good. I will use them in the future.

Their crew arrived at 7:00 AM and only stopped long enough to sit on the ground under a tree to grab a quick sandwich and were back at work. They continued to work unjtil 9:00 that evening and completed the job in one day The workers were very polite and willing to please. When they finished the job they went all around the house cleaning up any fallen debris that was lying in the grass.
