### All 8 reviews

**★★★★★ — ejl1234, March 2024**

> These guys did a fantastic job designing an addition.  Now, years later when we had a small window screen problem, they jumped on it and got the supplier to come out and handle the repair.  This is an excellent firm!

**★★★★★ — Candace Kalasky, July 2022**

> We worked with Steve Cramer for 12+ months on our whole house remodel. Steve is incredibly detailed and is passionate about his projects. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail, and I never doubted his commitment to the success of our project. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

**★★★★★ — Tim and Therese Fitzgibbons, June 2020**

> Joe Kreski has helped us for years and has always been perfect for any project we have asked him to assist us.  New family room, new bathroom, new kitchen--even help with exterior paint colors and roof.
>
> We highly recommend him and his company Cramer Kreski Designs!

**★★★★★ — Grace Costello, July 2019**

> Steve Cramer is the wizard! He has the vision, the design and the capability. All your builder has to do is follow his plan. It’s that easy! He’s worth every penny!

**★★★★★ — Avon Vandewege, Jan. 2019**

> Cramer Kreski Designs
> Joe Kreski, A.I.A. and his team, were able to transform a vision for our property into a unique and beautiful lake home.  His expertise and diligence were in every phase of the project.  Joe values opinions and priorities of his clients, the contractors and the interior design team.
> Make one phone call.  Your Dream Home is ahead!

**★★★★★ — Terri Newton, March 2018**

> September of 2016, my husband and I reached out to Cramer Kreski Designs to seek their advice regarding a re-model to our current home of 22 years or moving. Joe Kreski provided objective information and we decided to re-model! The BEST decision ever!! We received excellent guidance and advice throughout the project. Joe is extremely detail-oriented, professional and listened to everything we said. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the services we received. In our opinion, it would be VERY difficult to find services better than what we received from Cramer Kreski!! Thanks for giving us a "new" home!!

**★★★★★ — Walt Griffiths, June 2017**

> We have used Cramer Kreski on two remodeling projects and were extremely pleased with both.  Cramer Kreski presented with us with various options and we were able to select the design that was tailored to our tastes and needs.  Both projects were done in a timely manner and within our budget.  Timing of the projects and expected costs were clearly explained at the onset.  We highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Pam Carroll Planning & Design, June 2013**

> As an interior designer who has worked with Cramer Kreski Designs on numerous projects since the inception of the company, I can say that the quality of design and attention to detail earns them a place as a leading firm in residential architecture within the Midwest. Cramer Kreski Designs consistently executes timeless design and quality use of space, while staying sensitive to the client's budget and style preference. Their architects act as team leaders in the architect, homeowner, contractor, designer mix, and keep the project moving, as well as troubleshoot problematic situations when needed. Cramer Kreski Designs is a fine choice when considering a residential remodel or construction of a new home.

  - Location: Sioux Falls, SD

  - Description: This English Tudor style home is located on a golf course in South Dakota. Our clients were seeking a very formal, exquisitely detailed home where they could live and entertain. True old world craftsmanship abounds throughout the exterior and interior detailing. The exterior is composed of cut stone and brick. Protruding brick "clinkers" in a diamond pattern add subtle detail and texture to the steeply pitched gables. The interior is no less magnificent. Walking through the custom arched front d…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: This new home was designed for clients who were looking to downsize and simplify their home while taking advantage of beautiful views of their private pond. The home is located on an acreage in the hills of western Iowa. The concept was to group three simple gable roof structures connected with two flat roof “Connector Spaces”. The front approach to the home is punctuated with a tall corrugated, galvanized steel stair silo that connects all three levels. The grouping of structures creates a cour…

  - Location: Waterloo, NE
  - Photos: 21
  - Description: This private home is situated on an exclusive, beautiful lake in eastern Nebraska. The homeowners came to Cramer Kreski Designs seeking a new house as a respite from their work in the city. Their goals were to create a house of rooms with different moods and functions, but all share wonderful views of the expansive lake. The house would need to feel very comfortable for both the two homeowners and their high school son still at home and at the same time, accommodate a group of forty or more with…
- [Hilltop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-pj-vj~256722)
  - Location: Omaha, NE
  - Photos: 22
  - Description: This new home sits high on an acreage just north of Omaha. Our clients asked us to design a home for their young active family that would take advantage of the panoramic views. They traveled extensively to the southwest and enjoyed the forms and materials of that style of architecture. The exterior is stucco, natural stone and a low sloping tile roof with deep overhangs. A covered veranda wraps from the front entry to the master suite with multiple French doors leading you out to enjoy the views…
- [Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegance-pj-vj~256289)
  - Location: Omaha, NE
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: This retirement home is located on a golf course in west Omaha. Our clients desired a home that felt like a European Villa and that would also provide several spaces to display their extensive collection of antique furnishings. The exterior is maintenance free natural stone and brick. Each interior space is unique with custom designed beams, wood ceilings and even a "tile rug" in the all seasons room. There is even a hidden bookcase door that provides secondary access into the master suite. View…
- [Copperball](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/copperball-pj-vj~84446)
  - Location: Honey Creek, IA
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: This new residence sits on 50 acres overlooking the loess hills of Western Iowa. The homeowners request for the house was to have a rural, comfortable, casual California style with plenty of southern views overlooking the rolling hills. Large overhangs over the Living Room shade the windows from the sun. Main upper level balconies and patio allow for expanded living outdoors and views in all directions over the adjacent valleys. Bluestone flagstone was installed in Patio areas including the walk…
- [Seaside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-pj-vj~256736)
  - Location: Waterloo, NE
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: This new home on a lakefront property involved several phases over a period of approximately three years. The first phase was the main house and subsequent phases involved the detached Workout Room, an Outdoor Fireplace/Deck extension/Gazebo, a fenced in garden area/trellis and stone piers to define the entry drive. The home's exterior was designed around the homeowner's past New England living experiences. An abstracted Cape Cod style was a springboard for the design concept. The core of the ho…

  - Location: Waterloo, NE
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: This shingle style, Cape Cod home took the place of a long time summer family cabin located on a small quiet lake west of Omaha. Our clients wanted to be able to enjoy the quite solitude and beauty of living and entertaining on the lake year round. The home is designed to be small enough that they were comfortable when it was just the two of them, yet have an open, flowing interior with several exterior French doors leading to the lake when they entertained guests. The interior feel might best b…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the garage doors! Can you tell me paint color and manufacturer?** *(in Photo Questions)*

The garage doors make such a statement. Would love information on garage doors. Paint color and manufacturer.
Thank you so much.

A: The garage doors were from Designer Doors. Unfortunately, we do not have the info on the paint color.

**Q: The kitchen faucet should match what in the room?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you match the kitchen faucet to the sink,appliances, or the door har

A: Typically the cabinet hardware, but not always. Sometimes better to be different but complimentary to other elements.

**Q: Deborah Lambert** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the paint color on the garage doors?

A: Sorry, but that color was selected by the Interior Designer & Homeowner.  We do not have that information.

**Q: Backsplash material** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the backsplash? Thanks!

A: The tile is American Olean 3x6 cache ice white!

**Q: Beautiful. Please tell us where you got the brick. It's so cheerful!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The brick was from a local suppilier by the name of Lumbermans, now renamed Fireplace, Stone and Patio. However we had to show the mason how to make it look like the old clinker brick. So we had the mason bust up the solid brick and put the chunks in intermittently and randomly to create the clinker effect consistently with the original 1930's home.

**Q: Floor** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the flooring product and color?

A: Red oak with a custom stain selected by the owner.
