Mercury Contractors, Inc.

Ed Bueno started construction at the age of 8 where he worked for his dad’s construction company in South Texas. His main responsibility was to make sure all the job sites were kept clean. Ed had a lot of great teachers, as his entire family worked in the trade. In 1991, Ed moved to Omaha where he started learning the different building codes and began, with great pride and care, applying his skills to various projects. In 2000, Ed and his father started their own company, which consisted of framing, drywalling, masonry work and final construction cleaning. His company eventually led him to Jeff Gehring, as he was in need of a framer for basement project back in 1998. From that point on their business relationship flourished and eventually grew into what Mercury Contractors is today. Ed has two children and stays very busy with their extra curricular activities.

Ed believes in giving back to the community through serving and preparing meals for the homeless at the Sienna Francis House. He also enjoys track racing and most of all his family, friends and long term business associates here in Omaha.

Jeff Gehring first began his career in construction in 1979 as an apprentice on a house rehabilitation project. The concept is referred to today as a ‘flipping’. The addiction began and he has continued in the field since. He later went on to convert over a hundred homes in the greater Omaha area working personally in all trades of the construction field. In 2005, he partnered with Ed Bueno and together they transformed the company into a general contracting focusing on residential and commercial projects throughout eastern NE. Shortly thereafter, they added an exterior home products division. Jeff has a true passion in restoring older homes and the design/build-out of new construction projects. He feels a strong focus on top quality workmanship and strict adherence to project management has been a key to Mercury’s success.

In addition to construction, Jeff can be found with Ed and his father cooking at the Sienna Francis Homeless Shelter, smoking ribs on a professional BBQ cook team or serving on the Millard Business Association Fundraiser Board to raise money for Project Wee Care. He has strong roots in the Omaha Community for almost 25 years and really is proud to call Omaha home.
