Partnering with other for-profit and nonprofit organizations often gets overlooked even though it fosters goodwill and props up those deserving recognition (crucial ways to make this world a better place). As a family business, these partnerships have always been important to us – it’s part of our history and our future!

Products Come to Life at Fixer-Upper in the Nebraska Sandhills

Old home remodeled on Renovation Hunters near the Nebraska Sandhills.

In early 2022, Hal Shaffer and Chris Filardi gave general contractor Kevin Tarkovich a tour of a historic home in Hyannis, Nebraska. They intended to give new life to the property, as the first project on their new Outdoor Channel series, Renovation Hunters, but the term makeover was an understatement for this 19th-century home, to say the least.
