Painting Gretna's New Chapter
Gretna Has Nearly Doubled in Size. Your Home's Paint Has Noticed.
Gretna's population grew from 5,083 to 9,207 between 2020 and 2024 - an 81% increase that makes it one of the fastest-growing cities in all of Nebraska. With the Gretna Comprehensive Plan 2040 adopted in February 2025 and projections pointing toward 50,000-60,000 residents, this community isn't slowing down.
That growth story means something specific for homeowners here: the vast majority of Gretna's housing stock was built after 2010. Builder-grade exterior paint typically lasts 7-10 years in Nebraska's climate. If your home went up between 2012 and 2018, you're right in the window for your first full repaint.
Great Plains Painting has been serving Sarpy County since the neighborhoods here were still cornfields. We know Bridgeport's ARC submission requirements, Aspen Creek's BHI Corp approval process, and how to match the architectural palettes that make these communities look cohesive and premium.

HOA Expertise
We Know Gretna's HOA Approval Process - So You Don't Have To
Gretna's newest communities have formal Architectural Review Committee processes. One wrong submission can delay your project by weeks. We've done this before.
Bridgeport Design Guidelines
Bridgeport has formal Design Guidelines governing exterior paint colors, finishes, and application standards. Any exterior repaint requires written ARC (Architectural Review Committee) approval before work can begin. Submissions must include color swatches, product specs, and a description of the scope of work.
- We review your current approved color palette and HOA guidelines
- We prepare and submit your ARC approval package via email
- We follow up with the committee and communicate status updates
- Work begins only after written approval is received
Typical Bridgeport ARC approval: 7-14 days. We build this into your project timeline.
Aspen Creek - BHI Corp ARC Process
Both Aspen Creek North and Aspen Creek Hills are managed by BHI Corp, which oversees the Architectural Review Committee for exterior changes. Homeowners must submit a formal request - including proposed paint colors with manufacturer codes and finish types - before any exterior painting begins.
- We identify the correct BHI Corp submission contact and form
- We compile your color proposal with full product specifications
- We submit the ARC request email on your behalf
- We handle any follow-up questions from the committee
BHI Corp-managed communities: we've navigated this process many times.

Gretna Homes: Almost All Built After 2010 - and Ready for Their First Repaint
Gretna's explosive growth means its housing stock is uniquely concentrated: high-quality, newer construction - but builder-grade paint that was never meant to last forever.
Builder-Grade Is Wearing Off
Most Gretna homes built between 2012 and 2018 used flat or eggshell exterior paint to keep construction costs low. After 7-10 Nebraska winters, that paint is chalking, fading, and losing adhesion at trim edges. A professional repaint with premium exterior paint delivers a finish that lasts 12-15 years.
Most popular service in GretnaInteriors Evolve. Your Paint Should Too.
New construction interiors often come with flat white paint on every surface - functional but far from premium. Whether you're personalizing a newly purchased home, refreshing a space after a few years of family life, or staging for resale, our interior crews deliver clean lines, proper prep, and zero lap marks.
Interior & exterior packages availableCabinets: Transform Without Replacing
Gretna's newer homes often have builder-standard cabinets in dated finishes. Full cabinet refinishing - including proper degreasing, bonding primer, and a sprayed finish coat - can transform your kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost. We offer whites, soft grays, navy, and two-tone options.
Nebraska's Climate is Hard on Paint
Gretna sits in a climate zone with blistering summer heat, sub-zero winter lows, spring hail, and humidity swings that cause expansion and cracking. We select products specifically rated for this exposure and apply them during temperature windows that ensure proper cure.
First Repaint = Biggest Transformation
For a home that's never been professionally repainted, the before/after impact is enormous. Builder paint vs. a properly applied premium finish is a night-and-day difference - in protection, in depth of color, and in curb appeal.

What Gretna Homeowners Are Saying
"We were nervous about the HOA approval process - we'd heard horror stories from neighbors who had to repaint after choosing the wrong color. Great Plains handled everything. They submitted our ARC package to Bridgeport, tracked the approval, and didn't pick up a brush until we had written sign-off. The exterior on our 2016 build looks absolutely stunning."
Tyler & Megan B.
Bridgeport, Gretna
Exterior Repaint, HOA Approval Managed"The BHI Corp submission process seemed intimidating when I looked it up myself, but Great Plains had done it before and made it feel effortless. They handled all the paperwork, and we got approved in about ten days. The interior and exterior work was both beautiful - crisp lines, excellent prep work, and they were respectful of our space throughout."
Rachel W.
Aspen Creek Hills, Gretna
Interior + Exterior, ARC Approval Handled"Our home is near the Nebraska Crossing corridor and we wanted something that would hold up to the wind and weather off the highway. The crew was incredibly professional - they clearly understood Sarpy County HOA requirements and local conditions. They recommended Sherwin-Williams Duration for the siding and it looks sharp."
