Step 1: Scheduling Your Free Inspection
It all starts with a quick call or online booking. We offer free inspections for residential and commercial properties across Omaha, so there’s no cost to find out what’s going on with your roof. Our friendly team asks about the storm—when it hit, what you’ve noticed (like leaks or debris)—and sets a convenient time to visit. We prioritize urgency, especially after major storms, because waiting can turn small issues into big expenses. Whether it’s your family home or a warehouse, we’re here to help fast.
Step 2: On-Site Safety and Visual Assessment
When our crew arrives, safety comes first—no homeowner or business owner should climb a ladder to check their roof. We start with a ground-level walkaround, looking for signs like shingle pieces in your yard, granule piles in gutters, or dented vents. For commercial buildings, we check HVAC units or membrane seams. This initial scan helps us spot obvious damage—like missing shingles or torn flashing—before we go up top. Our team explains what we’re seeing, keeping you in the loop from the start.
Step 3: Detailed Roof Inspection
Next, we get a closer look using safe, professional methods. For homes, we examine shingles, flashing, and vents for cracks, hail bruises, or wind tears. On commercial flat roofs, we check for punctures, pooling water, or lifted membranes. In Omaha’s storm-prone climate, we often use tools like thermal drones to detect hidden moisture or weak spots without invasive poking. Every roof is different, so we take photos and notes to document damage for repairs or insurance claims. You’ll know exactly what we find, no guesswork involved.

Step 4: Interior Check for Hidden Leaks
Storm damage doesn’t always stop at the roof—it can sneak inside. We’ll ask to check your attic, ceilings, or commercial interior spaces for water stains, damp insulation, or mold signs. For businesses, this might mean inspecting warehouse corners or office drop ceilings. These clues tell us if rain or wind-driven water breached your roof’s defenses. Our goal is to catch leaks early, saving you from costly interior repairs or inventory loss. We’ll walk you through any findings with clear, honest feedback.
Step 5: Review and Next Steps
Once we’ve checked everything, we sit down with you to share our report. You’ll get a detailed breakdown—photos, damage scope, and repair recommendations—whether it’s patching shingles or replacing a hail-battered commercial membrane. If insurance is involved, we explain how to file a claim and provide documentation to make it smooth. For minor fixes, we might suggest immediate repairs; for bigger jobs, we’ll outline a plan that fits your budget and timeline. No pressure, just facts to help you decide.
