What we do
Our Services
Square One Remodeling provides kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, deck building, window replacement and whole-home renovations across Lincoln & Southeast Nebraska. We coordinate planning, materials and construction to keep your project organized from start to finish.
Kitchens
We provide layout-first kitchen renovations that fix how the room flows. Then we add your finishing touches.
Bathrooms
Primary suites, hall baths and powder rooms. The end product will provide waterproofing that holds, a beautiful finish, and a build that lasts.
Basements
Turn unfinished square footage into the most-used room in the house. We will ensure it is dry, warm, code-compliant, and permitted.
Decks
Decks, porches, and stairs built from composite and cedar are made to survive Nebraska winters without an annual weekend of sanding and staining.
Whole Home
Kitchen, baths, bedrooms and basement handled as one project instead of five. One schedule, one invoice, and one fully updated house.
Windows
Replacing a few windows, every window in the house, or cutting in a new opening where there was never one. We can give your home new life with natural lighting.
Owen also takes on tile work and smaller interior and exterior projects. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Tell us about it

Common questions
Before you call anyone
The questions we get asked most often, answered honestly.
How much does a remodel actually cost?
Honest ranges for the Lincoln area, based on what we actually build:
| Project | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | $30,000 – $120,000 |
| Powder room | $10,000 – $20,000 |
| Primary bath suite | $15,000 – $60,000 |
| Basement finishing | $55 – $95 / sq ft |
| Home addition | $350 – $550 / sq ft |
| Whole-home renovation | $180 – $400 / sq ft |
These are typical ranges, not limits. Plenty of projects land outside them in both directions. A focused update — new countertops and a backsplash, a vanity and flooring swap, a few windows — can come in well below the bottom of a range, and we are happy to take that work. A large or complicated job can run above the top of one. Ask either way; the answer is a conversation, not a cut-off.
The spread within each range is mostly driven by three things: whether structural work is involved, whether mechanical systems need replacing, and the cabinetry tier. The only number that means anything for your house is the one in your written proposal.
What we won’t do is give you a number with vague allowances buried in it. If we budget $8,000 for tile, we’ll show you what $8,000 of tile looks like before you sign.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, and we’ll hand you the paperwork before you ask.
- Nebraska contractor registration — number listed in the footer of this site and on every proposal
- $2,000,000 general liability coverage
Worth knowing how this works in Nebraska: the state does not issue a general contractor license the way some states do. Contractors register with the Department of Labor, and individual trades like electrical, plumbing, and mechanical are licensed separately. Anyone telling you they hold a “Nebraska general contractor license” is describing something that does not exist.
If you have questions about coverage on your particular project, get in touch and Owen will walk you through it.
How long will my project take?
Two separate clocks, and people usually only think about the second one.
Before construction (4–10 weeks): design, materials selection, ordering, and permitting. We deliberately complete materials selection and get everything delivered to our warehouse before demolition begins. It feels slow. It’s the single biggest reason our projects finish on schedule.
On site:
- Bathroom — 2 to 8 weeks
- Kitchen — 4 to 14 weeks
- Basement — 8 to 16 weeks
- Addition — 4 to 9 months from design to move-in
- Whole home — 6 to 12 months
You get a written schedule with named milestones at contract signing, re-issued every Friday with actual progress marked against it.
What other work do you take on?
The six services listed on this site are the projects we take on most often, but they are not the whole list.
- Tile work — floors, showers and backsplashes, as a standalone project or part of a larger remodel
- Smaller interior and exterior projects that do not amount to a full remodel
The same person quotes your job, does the work and answers the phone afterwards, whether it is a full kitchen or a single room. If you are not sure whether your project is a fit, get in touch — it is a short conversation either way.
