Expert Roof Replacement Services

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 2-3 days, depending on several factors:

• Roof size and complexity: Larger homes or complex roof designs may take 3-5 days
• Weather conditions: We only work in safe weather conditions to ensure quality installation
• Material type: Asphalt shingles are faster to install than tile or metal roofing
• Structural repairs: If we discover deck damage during tear-off, repairs add 1-2 days

We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during your free inspection and keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Roof replacement costs in Lincoln typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 for most residential homes, with the average project costing around $8,000-$10,000. Several factors affect the final price:

• Roof size: Measured in squares (100 sq ft = 1 square), with most homes ranging from 15-30 squares
• Material choice: 3-tab shingles are most affordable, architectural shingles mid-range, designer shingles premium
• Roof pitch and complexity: Steeper roofs or multiple valleys increase labor costs
• Removal of old roof: Multiple layers or special disposal requirements add cost
• Additional features: New ventilation, skylights, or chimney flashing affect pricing

We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden fees. Schedule your free inspection to get an accurate estimate for your specific home.

The best time for roof replacement in Nebraska is late spring through early fall (May through October), when weather conditions are most favorable. Here's what to consider for each season:

• Spring (April-May): Ideal temperatures for shingle adhesion, though rain can cause delays
• Summer (June-August): Most popular season with consistent weather, but high demand means longer scheduling times
• Fall (September-October): Excellent choice with moderate temperatures and generally stable weather
• Winter (November-March): Possible but not ideal due to cold temperatures affecting shingle sealing and safety concerns

That said, if you have an urgent need due to storm damage or active leaks, we provide year-round service with appropriate weatherization measures. Don't delay necessary repairs to wait for perfect weather.

Homeowners insurance typically covers roof replacement if the damage was caused by a covered peril, such as:

• Storm damage: Wind, hail, or tornado damage is usually covered
• Fire damage: Covered under most standard policies
• Falling objects: Trees or debris falling on your roof
• Vandalism: Intentional damage to your property

Insurance will NOT cover:

• Normal wear and tear from age
• Lack of maintenance or neglect
• Cosmetic damage that doesn't affect functionality

We work directly with insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process. We'll document all damage with photos, provide detailed estimates, and communicate with your adjuster to ensure you receive fair coverage. Contact us immediately after storm damage to protect your claim rights.

No, you don't need to be home during the actual installation. Here's what to expect:

Before we start: We recommend being present for the initial walkthrough on day one so we can discuss any concerns, show you where equipment will be placed, and answer questions.

During installation: You can go about your normal routine. Our crew is self-sufficient and doesn't need interior access (unless we discover structural issues requiring inspection). We'll keep you updated on progress via phone or text.

What you'll notice: Expect noise from tear-off and nail guns, work starting around 7-8 AM, and our crew working until completion each day (usually 4-6 PM).

Final walkthrough: We do recommend being present for the final inspection so we can walk you through the completed work, show you warranty information, and ensure you're completely satisfied.

We'll protect your property with tarps, use magnetic sweepers to collect nails, and complete thorough cleanup before we leave each day.
