From the emergency tarp to the last ridge cap. We repair and replace storm-damaged roofs and fix what the leak did inside.
A roof claim is rarely just a roof. By the time shingles are missing or hail has bruised the mat, there is often wet insulation in the attic, a stained ceiling in a bedroom and dented gutters outside. Hiring a roofer for the top and someone else for the inside leaves you managing two scopes and one insurance claim.
We handle it as a single project. Our team inspects and documents the damage, meets your adjuster, installs the new roof system, and repairs the decking, insulation, drywall and paint underneath. If the roof is repairable, we will tell you that instead of selling you a replacement.
Shingles, flashing, vents, gutters and attic checked and photographed.
Missing and damaged shingles, flashing, pipe boots and localized leaks.
Tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, ice-and-water barrier and new shingles.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which many insurers reward with a premium discount.
Gutters, downspouts, ridge and soffit ventilation replaced or corrected with the roof.
Wet insulation, drywall, texture and paint restored by the same team.
How it works
We assess the roof and attic and give you photos and an honest repair-or-replace recommendation.
If insurance is involved, we meet the adjuster and agree on scope before work begins.
Most residential roofs are completed in one to two days once materials arrive, weather permitting.
Interior repairs follow, then a final walk-through and cleanup, including a magnet sweep for nails.
Omaha & Lincoln
Eastern Nebraska is one of the more hail-prone parts of the country, and straight-line winds regularly strip shingles in Omaha and Lincoln. Hail damage is not always visible from the ground, and a bruised shingle can take a season or two to start leaking. Winter adds ice dams along the eaves. An inspection after a significant storm is worth doing even if nothing looks wrong.

FAQ
Straight answers to what people ask us most.
It depends on how widespread the damage is and whether matching shingles are available. Isolated damage can often be repaired. When hail has bruised shingles across multiple slopes, replacement is usually what the insurance scope calls for.
Wind and hail are commonly covered perils, but what is paid depends on your policy, including your deductible and whether the roof is insured at replacement cost or actual cash value. We document the damage and work with your adjuster; your agent can explain your coverage.
The installation itself is typically one to two days for a standard home. The overall timeline is driven by the claim, material availability and weather.
Yes. Drying, insulation, drywall, texture matching and paint are all part of what we do.
