Why would home exterior services matter to a homeowner? To start, before people even know who lives in a home, how they take care of the outside of their home tells others a ton of information. The exterior of the home reveals to people what the owner values, a glimpse of their style, and how much they take pride in caring for their home. Because a home is usually the biggest investment someone makes, how the home is cared for says a lot about their priorities and effort.
Residential Landscaping
Nothing kills the curb appeal of a home more than poorly maintained landscaping—dead grass, overgrown weeds choking out other plants, and trees growing too close to the house. On the other hand, nothing makes a home look more inviting than a green lawn, tidy shrubs, and bright flowers that bring everything to life.
Whether maintaining already-great landscaping or looking to enhance the outside look of your home to make it look its best, our exterior services are here to help. Here are some of our areas of expertise:

On the other hand, nothing makes a home look more inviting than a green lawn, tidy shrubs, and bright flowers that bring everything to life.
Whether maintaining already-great landscaping or looking to enhance the outside look of your home to make it look its best, our exterior services are here to help. Here are some of our areas of expertise:
With the derecho windstorm and tornadoes of 2024, followed by the blizzard of 2025, many trees came down across the Omaha metro area. During these storms, fallen trees damaged homes, totaled cars, destroyed fences, and blocked safe exits from homes. For families with children, fallen trees can also pose serious safety hazards.
Due to the frequent storms in Nebraska, many trees can bend or break from strong winds, tornadoes, carpenter ants and termites, or heavy rain. We can cut up, remove, and haul away any fallen trees or branches on private property.
If the trees are still standing, we will need to review photos or perform an on-site assessment before confirming removal.
Sod Installation
For those who have just moved into their new home, or for homes that had a neglected yard before being able to move in, seeding and sod are the fastest ways to get the yard back to a lush and beautiful state. However, seeding can take a long time to sow into the ground, and birds can eat the seeds before they have a chance to grow.
Our sod installation service includes preparing the existing ground by tamping, leveling, and grading it with sand: Once the ground is ready, we’ll water it to help the soil settle. Then, we’ll install the sod on the prepared surface, cutting it to fit cleanly around driveways, sidewalks, hardscaping, and vegetation.
Lawn Care
Lawns that already have a healthy amount of grass still require regular maintenance and preventative care. In addition to mowing, a great lawn should be free of weeds, pests, and invasive grass species. To keep it growing beautifully, it also needs fertilization, aeration, and winter preparation.
We can do this and more. We will ensure that your grass will come in thick, lush, and green. The yard will be ready for any kids, grandkids, football viewing parties, or parties.
Lawn Mowing
Every spring and early summer, eastern Nebraska gets much-needed rain that helps crops thrive, but it also causes grass to grow quickly. People often notice that, during rainy seasons with frequent thunderstorms, lawns often require frequent mowing, sometimes twice a week.
If the sound of your neighbor mowing makes you stress about your yard, let us take that worry off your plate. Our home exterior services include mowing your lawn, giving you time off, and giving you peace of mind that your yard will be consistently clean-cut year-round.
Yard Waste
On those rare weekends when homeowners have extra time, tackling a few yard projects can transform the look and feel of their home, giving it a fresh, updated appearance. Such projects can include trimming trees, removing plants that are no longer beneficial or attractive, or simply fitting in with the rest of the vegetation.
However, those big projects yield a lot of yard waste. Some homeowners pile it to take care of it someday, while others will slowly fill their trash bins week after week, hoping there will be enough space. However, life gets busy, and the changes of seasons bring their unique yard waste to throw away..
Instead of creating a biological experiment in the form of a big yard waste heap that is heated and watered by Omaha’s weather, let the professionals take it away for you.
Outside Home Services
Taking care of the outside of your home means more than just mowing the lawn. After all, there are more seasons than summer and more to take care of than vegetation. Task Helpers can help you with more home exterior services. Here are just some ways we can lend a helping hand.
Home Snow Removal
Omaha averages close to 30 inches of snow annually. However, due to the wind that accompanies storms, not all the snow is distributed evenly, resulting in snow drifts taller than cars. The snow can also vary in consistency from light and fluffy to the blizzard of 2025 that left up to 100,000 homes without electricity.
Removing snow from driveways and sidewalks is backbreaking work that can lead to personal injuries, including slips and falls. Don’t give your health to chance. Our home exterior services include snow removal for homes in the Omaha metro, from 100-year-old homes to new constructions.
Window Graphics & Clings
There are many reasons to decorate a home, and just as many ways to do it. Window graphics and clings are popular for everything from Halloween displays to advertising a home business. No matter the purpose, adding adhesive designs to windows is a simple and effective way to draw attention and share a message.
Our team has applied graphics and clings on windows without seams, bubbles, or tears. We can help get whatever graphics are applied to homes all over Omaha.
Fence Repair
Fences are damaged for many different reasons, from strong winds common during spring to trees falling right on top of them, and anywhere in between. Regardless of how it happened, a broken fence brings a lack of security, a loss of aesthetic, and a chance for beloved pets to escape and possibly become injured.
For expert fence repair, our home exterior services include restoring the structure and stability of your fence line. Repairs include replacing missing panels, resecuring loose crossbeams, and replacing damaged posts.
Fence Installation
A well-crafted fence is one of the most impactful accents for any yard, offering both beauty and function. In addition to enhancing curb appeal, fences provide a safe, enclosed space for children to play. However, improper installation can cause a fence to lean over time, wear out more quickly, and require premature replacement.
Our experts will come to your home, discuss options with you, and provide a plan of what to expect during the entire process. We’ll plan out where the fence will be placed, installation of the posts, and install the panels and crossbeams. Whether you’re looking for a fence made of wood, vinyl, stone, or another material, Task Helpers is ready to handle the job for you.
Exterior Structure Services
While landscaping and decorative elements enhance a home's appearance, the exterior structure plays a critical role in protecting the home, ensuring safety, and keeping the elements out. Our home exterior services focus on maintaining curb appeal, addressing structural issues, and replacing worn or damaged exterior features when needed.
Roof Repair
When tornadoes, hail, wind, or relentless rain pound Omaha homes, roofs are commonly taking the brunt of the punishment of crazy Nebraska weather. Depending on when the home was built, the roof may be outdated, worn down, or no longer able to withstand the elements effectively.
Rather than contracting with traveling roofing companies that only pass through the metro after major storms hit, our home exterior services are provided by residents of Omaha who work and live here. We can respond quickly, year-round, and repair any damaged roofs.
House Painting
A home’s color can be unique, special, and eye-catching. Locally known examples are the purple house near Harrison and 144th Street, and the large pink house north of Dodge Street. The homes are, in and of themselves, beautiful, but the paint of the homes makes them unique and memorable.
If your home needs a fresh coat of paint, patchwork to fill in any parts removed from weathering, or you want a completely new look, our professionals can help you. The best part is our clients don’t even need to lift a finger. We’ll take care of all the preparations, application, and clean-up afterward.
Door Installation
A distinctive or beautifully crafted front door enhances curb appeal, adds character to the home exterior, and provides a warm welcome to guests. Sliding glass doors and back entrances often serve as the main connection between the kitchen and the backyard, making them perfect for hosting gatherings, grilling, or letting children go outside to play.
Having outdated or poorly installed doors can easily become eyesores and barriers to the outside world. Our home exterior services include current door removals and the installation of doors that will enhance your home, allowing for easier flow of family and friends from your home to your yard.
Deck Repair
In Omaha, decks with string lights above are where people like to relax, cook on the grill, and look at the amazing sunsets. However, a broken deck prevents family and friends from gathering. As decks are often attached to the main exit on the back of the home, a broken deck prevents access to the backyard and can be dangerous for little kids. Whatever the reason, the deck is no longer enjoyable; we can help.
Our home service experts can restore your damaged deck to its original, like-new condition. Whether it's loose boards, broken railings, or sagging steps, we'll ensure everything is safe, sturdy, and ready to enjoy again.
Deck Staining
Wooden decks and porches are famous in Omaha. Unlike composite decks, which are more expensive to install and made from plastics, wooden decks are cheaper to build and maintain. They can be made from a variety of different types of wood, bringing extra beauty to the party and the home itself.
Deck staining is just one of our home exterior services. We can take an existing deck, strip it down to the original wood, and stain it to bring out the wonderful natural beauty of the wood while protecting it. A professional stain will protect the wood from rain, relentless sun, and wear.
Our professionals will work with you to select the quality of stain and the color you want on your deck. We will take care of all the sanding, application, and protection from drips and splashes.
Shed Painting
Your shed deserves to look as good as your home. A dilapidated shed becomes a quick eyesore and can add stress to an ever-growing to-do list. We can help match your home or make the shed an accent piece by giving it a fresh coat of paint. We’ll do all the prep, application, and cleanup. All homeowners need to do is set the appointment and watch their old shed become a new talking point.
Shed Building
Omaha sheds have transformed from a place to store yardwork tools to becoming a mancave or a great workspace. Some homeowners have even installed bars and openings for flat screens to watch the big game. If you want to get a shed in the backyard, our home exterior experts can help.
Our team will lay the concrete, install the post brackets to prevent wood decay and build your dream shed. If there isn’t a space in your yard that is tamped down and prepped, we can do that. All homeowners need to do is have our experts come over, help us figure out the design, show us where the shed will go, set up a time, and watch our team go to work.
Shed Repair
Has the relentless Nebraska weather and bugs taken a toll on your shed? Between the hail, wind, bugs, heat, cold, and pests, sheds can take a real beating. Whether the shed is brittle plastic or rotted wood, we can repair it. After a quick appointment to estimate the cost, our experts get to work and return your shed to how it should be.
