We just got feedback from a customer that our techs Mark Schnackenberg and Jake Mitchell did a phenomenal job on this boiler tear down. “They were always there on time, asked questions when they needed, and after everything was done, the place was spotless with everything put back in its original place.”

Over the years we have had neighbors ask if our office had been modeled after the "Tucker House/Hotel". It was just by chance that our new building looks so similar to what originally stood on the same ground! If you're interested in the backstory, we dove into the land's history and wrote an article for a neighborhood newsletter a few years back! 👇

When Prairie Mechanical started building a new office on the Northeast corner of 29th and Tucker, they had no idea what used to stand on the empty lot. After several people asked if the office had been modeled after the “Tucker House”, they started to dig into the property’s history. The Tucker Hotel was built in the first half of the 19th century and run by the Freeman Tucker, who became the Mayor of the little town of Florence, NE. The foursquare, clapboard boardinghouse-style hotel had a family quarter’s downstairs, with a kitchen, bath, dining room, parlor, small bedroom, and larger bedroom. The upstairs had a long hallway with a 2-bedroom/kitchen/living room apartment at the back of the house, 5 bedrooms along the hallway, and a bath shared by the entire upstairs. In the early 1900’s, 1st and 2nd floor porches were added. The dirt streets were eventually paved, and the street where the house sat was named for the Mayor. Generations of the Tucker family were born and raised in the house, along with boarders, some of which lived there for 2 or 3 decades. The Tucker family eventually stopped taking boarders and their children moved away from the area. In the late 1980’s the lot was sold and the house torn down.

Prairie Mechanical is a full-service mechanical contractor, opened in 2002 by Pat Kealy and Brett Lundin both of whom grew up in Omaha. In 2004 Prairie Mechanical relocated their shop to Florence when they purchased Fury Sheet Metal. In the years following, the lot stood empty and acted as a storage area for surrounding businesses until 2014 when Prairie Mechanical built their new office. For those living in the Florence area, the new 9,000 square foot building gives a sense of nostalgia for what us

Happy Women in Construction week! We would like

Happy Women in Construction week!

We would like you to meet Kelsey. A steamfitter apprentice, talented welder (from what her peers have said about her) and one of the few women who works in the trades. We’re proud to have her on our team and this is what she has to say about her career in construction: “I grew up my whole life knowing that I wanted a career in construction. There's a different sense of pride that I get from working with my hands, knowing that what I create will survive the test of time much longer than myself. Everyday I get to challenge myself in a different way, I'm constantly learning something new while also helping others learn along the way. It's a very fruitful career and I'm extremely thankful for the comradery and solidarity that comes with it.”
