Top Questions Homeowners Ask Rocket Roofing—Answered

When it comes to protecting your home, your roof plays a major role—and naturally, homeowners have questions. At Rocket Roofing, we hear many of the same concerns from clients across Omaha, Papillion, and surrounding Nebraska communities. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked roofing questions to help you feel informed and confident about your next roofing decision.

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?

The answer depends on several factors, including the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and whether you've had recurring issues. If you're experiencing isolated damage—like a few missing shingles or a small leak—a repair might do the trick. But if your roof is over 15–20 years old, has widespread wear, or repeated problems, a replacement is likely the smarter long-term solution. Rocket Roofing provides free inspections to help you make the right call.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in just 1–2 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and weather conditions. We work efficiently without cutting corners, ensuring your new roof is installed correctly and cleaned up thoroughly afterward.

Do I need to be home during the roofing process?

You don’t have to be home while we’re working on your roof, but we recommend being available by phone just in case any questions come up. If you’re home during the job, our crew will do everything possible to minimize disruptions to your day.

What kind of roofing materials do you use?

We offer a variety of high-quality materials including asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, and flat roofing systems—all from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning and Malarkey Roofing Products. Our team can walk you through the best options for your home’s design and Nebraska’s weather conditions.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage?

In many cases, yes. If your roof has suffered hail, wind, or other storm-related damage, your homeowner’s insurance may cover part or all of the cost to repair or replace it. Rocket Roofing helps guide you through the insurance claim process, from inspection to documentation to meeting with the adjuster.

How much does a new roof cost?

Roofing costs vary based on the size of the roof, material chosen, labor, and whether there’s underlying damage. We provide detailed, no-pressure estimates after our inspection—ensuring you understand all your options.
