Don't let a small leak become a major problem. Our expert team provides same-day emergency repairs to protect your home.
Not every roofing problem requires a complete replacement. Many issues—from minor leaks to storm damage—can be effectively repaired by experienced professionals, saving you thousands of dollars while extending your roof's lifespan. The key is addressing problems quickly before small issues become major disasters. If repairs aren't enough, we'll give you an honest assessment about when replacement makes more sense.
At KBD Roofing, we pride ourselves on honest assessments. If your roof can be repaired, we'll tell you exactly what needs fixing and why. If it's beyond economical repair, we'll show you the evidence and explain your replacement options. We never upsell services you don't need—our reputation depends on trust, not maximizing every invoice.
Lincoln's weather is particularly hard on roofs. Extreme temperature swings from -10°F winters to 100°F summers cause expansion and contraction that loosens nails and cracks sealant. Spring hail storms damage shingles, summer winds lift edges, and winter ice dams force water under flashing. These conditions mean Nebraska roofs need more maintenance and repair than milder climates.
Whether you need emergency leak repair, storm damage assessment, routine maintenance, or preventive repairs, our team responds quickly and fixes problems right the first time. Most repairs are completed in a single day, and we warranty all repair work. From minor shingle replacement to complex flashing repairs, we have the expertise to solve any roofing problem.
Roof leaks are tricky—water often enters in one spot and travels along rafters before dripping inside. We use systematic inspection methods to find the true source, then fix it permanently with proper flashing, sealant, and shingle replacement.
Typical Cost: $300-800 depending on location and complexity
Missing, cracked, or wind-damaged shingles expose your roof deck to water damage. We stock common shingle colors and can usually match your existing roof. Quick repairs prevent water intrusion and maintain your roof's warranty.
Typical Cost: $150-500 for localized shingle replacement
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls is the #1 leak source. Caulk fails, metal rusts, and improper installation causes problems. We install durable metal flashing with proper overlap and sealant that lasts decades.
Typical Cost: $400-1,200 depending on complexity
Roof valleys channel water and are high-stress areas. Failed valley flashing causes major leaks. We rebuild valleys with proper metal flashing or woven shingle techniques, ensuring decades of leak-free performance.
Typical Cost: $500-1,500 per valley section
Hail and wind damage may be covered by insurance. We provide thorough damage assessments with photo documentation, assist with insurance claims, and complete repairs to restore your roof. Fast response prevents further damage.

We understand that roof emergencies can't wait. Here's our emergency response process:
Same-Day Response: When you call with an active leak or emergency, we dispatch a technician within 2-4 hours during business hours, or first thing the next morning for after-hours calls.
Temporary Protection: For severe damage, we provide emergency tarping to prevent further water intrusion while we schedule permanent repairs. This typically happens the same day you call.
Permanent Repairs: Depending on the scope and weather conditions, most emergency repairs are completed within 1-3 business days of our initial assessment.
Storm Response: After major storms, we prioritize customers with active leaks and safety hazards. Response times may extend to 24-48 hours during high-demand periods, but we'll keep you informed.

When Winter Repairs Work Well:
Winter Challenges:
For emergency leaks, we'll always provide immediate temporary repairs to prevent further damage, then complete permanent repairs when conditions allow. For non-urgent repairs, we may recommend waiting for warmer weather to ensure optimal results, but the decision is always yours.

Important to Understand:
If we're repairing a highly visible area and can't get an acceptable match with your current shingles, we'll discuss alternatives, which might include replacing an entire roof section for uniformity. We'll always show you options and let you make the final decision.
