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. How do I know I can trust Rocket Roofing?

Dealing with roof damage is stressful enough — but navigating the insurance claim process? That can feel overwhelming, especially here in Nebraska, where hailstorms, high winds, and severe weather are all too common. At Rocket Roofing, we’ve helped countless homeowners in Omaha and beyond work through roof insurance claims. Here’s what you need to know to protect your home, your wallet, and your peace of mind. Understand What Your Policy Actually Covers One of the biggest misconceptions about roof insurance is assuming everything  is covered. The reality? Policies vary, and not all damage qualifies for reimbursement. Most homeowners’ insurance covers sudden, accidental damage — things like hail, wind, or falling tree limbs. But general wear and tear, poor maintenance, or pre-existing issues usually aren’t covered. It’s critical to review your policy regularly and ask your insurance agent to explain the details. Knowing your deductible, coverage limits, and any exclusions upfront will save you headaches later. Why Nebraska Homeowners File So Many Roof Claims Nebraska’s unpredictable weather makes roof damage a common occurrence. Hailstorms, straight-line winds, and even tornadoes can cause significant destruction in a matter of minutes. In fact, Nebraska consistently ranks among the top states for hail-related insurance claims. Unfortunately, this also means the region attracts out-of-town “storm chasers” — companies that swoop in after storms, offering quick fixes but often disappearing just as fast. Working with a trusted, local roofer like Rocket Roofing ensures your repairs are done right and your warranty actually means something. The Insurance Claim Process Step by Step Inspect for Damage: After a major storm, inspect your property. Look for missing shingles, dents in gutters, or granules collecting near downspouts. You can also call a professional for a free inspection. Document Everything: Take clear photos of any visible damage, both up close and wide shots. Keep records of the date and time of the storm if possible. Contact Your Insurance Company: File a claim promptly. Your insurance company will assign an adjuster to inspect the damage. Partner with a Local Roofing Expert: It’s smart to have your own roofer present during the adjuster’s visit. At Rocket Roofing, we advocate for homeowners to ensure damage isn’t overlooked and your claim is fairly assessed. Review the Estimate: Once the adjuster provides their estimate, compare it with your roofer’s assessment. If there are discrepancies, your roofer can help provide additional documentation or clarification. Schedule Repairs: After approval, your trusted roofing company will complete the repairs or replacement, restoring your home’s protection and value. Common Pitfalls to Avoid Delaying the Claim: Most policies have strict deadlines for filing claims after storm damage. Don’t wait. Skipping Professional Inspections: Some damage, especially from hail, isn’t visible from the ground. A trained roofer can spot hidden issues. Working with Unlicensed Contractors: Always verify a roofer’s credentials. Rocket Roofing is fully licensed, insured, and backed by an A+ BBB rating.

Whether you're dealing with storm damage, leaks, or general wear and tear, timely roof repairs can save you thousands in the long run. Common Roofing Issues in Nebraska Nebraska’s climate brings unique challenges for homeowners. Here are some of the most common roofing problems in the area: 🌪 Storm Damage High winds, hail, and heavy snowfall can cause shingles to loosen, crack, or go missing. After severe weather, it’s crucial to inspect your roof for damage. 💦 Leaks and Water Damage Even small leaks can lead to mold growth and structural issues. Watch for water stains on ceilings or walls as early warning signs. ❄ Ice Dams in Winter When snow melts and refreezes at the edges of your roof, ice dams can form, leading to leaks and damage to gutters. Proper insulation and ventilation help prevent this issue. ☀ Sun Damage & Aging Nebraska’s summer heat can cause shingles to dry out and deteriorate over time. Regular inspections can catch signs of aging before they lead to costly repairs. When to Call a Professional Roofer While minor fixes like replacing a missing shingle can be a DIY project, some repairs require professional expertise.

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, and each season brings its own set of challenges. Proper maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your roof. Here’s a guide on how to prepare your roof for seasonal weather changes. Spring: Expect and Clean Spring showers can reveal winter damage. Start by inspecting your roof for loose or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and debris accumulation. Ensure proper drainage by cleaning gutters and downspouts. Check for water stains in your attic or ceiling that might indicate leaks. Trim overhanging branches that could damage your roof during storms. Summer: Protect Against Heat and UV Rays The summer sun can cause roofing materials to crack and degrade, so inspect for signs of sun damage, such as curling or blistering shingles. Ensure proper attic ventilation to reduce heat buildup and prevent moisture issues. Consider applying a reflective roof coating to minimize heat absorption Fall: Prepare for Leaves and Cold Weather Falling leaves can clog gutters and downspouts, leading to water damage. Taking the proper precautions in the fall can prepare for the cold that winter brings. Clear leaves and debris from gutters regularly. Check for cracks or gaps in flashing and seal them to prevent leaks. Inspect insulation in your attic to ensure it’s adequate for colder temperatures. Winter: Guard Against Snow and Ice Snow and ice can cause significant damage if not managed properly. A buildup of snow or ice can add excessive weight to your roof, putting stress on its structure. In extreme cases, this can lead to sagging or even collapse. Remove snow buildup using a roof rake to prevent ice dams. Check for ice dams along the eaves, which can cause leaks and structural damage. Ensure your attic is properly insulated to keep warm air from melting snow on the roof. General Tips for All Seasons Schedule professional inspections at least once a year. Keep records of maintenance and repairs to track your roof’s condition over time. Address small issues promptly to prevent them from becoming major problems. By staying proactive with seasonal roof maintenance, you’ll protect your home from weather-related damage and extend the life of your roof.

At Rocket Roofing, we are always on the lookout for innovative ways to provide you with the best roofing services possible. One of our game-changing advancements is the use of drone technology for roof inspections, particularly for hail damage. But you might be wondering, why drones? Let’s dive into why we often use drone technology to inspect roofs and how it benefits you. Safety First: The Key Advantage The most significant advantage of using drones for roof inspections is safety. Traditional roof inspections require someone to climb onto the roof, which can be dangerous, especially after severe weather events like hailstorms. Drones minimize the need for physical roof access, thereby reducing the risk of falls and injuries, although there are still occasions when roof access is necessary; we strive to minimize unnecessary safety risks as much as possible. By keeping our team on the ground, we prioritize safety without compromising on thoroughness and accuracy. Efficiency and Time-Saving Time is of the essence, especially when dealing with potential roof damage. Drone inspections are remarkably fast compared to traditional methods. A comprehensive inspection that might take hours can be completed in a fraction of the time with a drone. This means you get your inspection results faster, allowing you to take necessary actions without delay. Transparency and Detailed Documentation One of the standout features of drone inspections is the level of transparency they offer. The high-resolution images and videos captured by drones provide clear, detailed views of your roof’s condition. This visual documentation helps us explain the extent of any damage to you with complete transparency. You can see exactly what we see, ensuring you’re fully informed about the state of your roof. Minimizing Unnecessary Risks and Damage Traditional roof inspections can sometimes cause additional wear and tear, especially if the roof is already compromised. Drones avoid this problem entirely by conducting inspections without touching the roof. This non-invasive method ensures that we do not create unnecessary risks or cause extra damage during the inspection process. Your roof remains intact and undisturbed, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its condition. Streamlined Insurance Processes Insurance companies have also recognized the benefits of drone technology. Many insurers now utilize drones for their assessments and some even use the same software we do at Rocket Roofing. This streamlines the entire process, making it easier for us to review detailed inspection reports with your insurance provider. As a result, claims are processed more efficiently, and you can get the repairs you need without unnecessary delays. Pioneers in Drone Technology Rocket Roofing’s founders were amongst the first in Nebraska to utilize drones for roof inspections. While some others have since adopted this technology, we pride ourselves on being innovators and technology pioneers in this space. Our early adoption of drone technology reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and continually improving our services to better meet your needs. Customer-First Approach At Rocket Roofing, our customers come first. By integrating drone technology into our inspection process, we aim to provide you with the safest, most efficient, and most transparent roofing services available around Papillion and Omaha. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is protected and that any roof issues are identified and addressed promptly and accurately.

Your roof is one of the most critical parts of your home, protecting you from the elements year-round. However, many homeowners overlook roof maintenance until a problem arises. By following these five essential maintenance tips, you can extend your roof’s lifespan, prevent costly repairs, and keep your home safe and secure. 1. Schedule Regular Roof Inspections Routine inspections help catch minor issues before they become costly problems. Experts recommend checking your roof twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall—to identify signs of wear, leaks, or missing shingles. 2. Keep Your Gutters Clean Clogged gutters can lead to water buildup and roof damage. Make sure to clean your gutters regularly, especially after storms or heavy foliage shedding. Proper water drainage prevents leaks, mold growth, and structural damage. 3. Check for Missing or Damaged Shingles Shingles protect your roof from harsh weather, but strong winds, hail, and extreme temperatures can cause them to crack or go missing. If you notice damaged shingles, replace them immediately to prevent leaks and further deterioration. 4. Ensure Proper Attic Ventilation Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture in your attic, leading to mold growth and shingle damage. Ensure your attic has proper airflow to regulate temperature and humidity levels, which can help maintain your roof’s integrity. 5. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection While DIY checks are helpful, having a professional roofer inspect your roof annually ensures that potential problems are addressed before they escalate. Roofing experts can spot hidden issues and provide necessary maintenance to keep your roof in excellent condition. By following these simple but effective maintenance steps, you can extend your roof’s lifespan and avoid costly repairs. If you need a professional inspection or repair, Rocket Roofing is here to help!

Severe weather can strike at any time, leaving your roof vulnerable to damage from high winds, hail, and heavy rain. If your home has been affected by a storm, taking immediate action can prevent further damage and ensure a smooth recovery process. Here’s what to do if a storm damages your roof. 1. Inspect Your Home Safely Before stepping outside, ensure it’s safe. Look for fallen power lines, broken glass, or debris. If you notice water leaks inside your home, place a bucket under the leak and move furniture away to minimize damage. 2. Check for Common Signs of Roof Damage Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Look for: Missing, cracked, or curled shingles Water stains on ceilings or walls Granules in gutters (a sign of shingle wear) Damaged flashing or gutters 3. Prevent Further Damage with Temporary Fixes If your roof has minor leaks or missing shingles, use a tarp or waterproof covering to prevent water from seeping in. This is a temporary fix until a professional roofer can assess the damage. 4. Contact a Roofing Professional Don’t wait to call an expert. A roofing professional can inspect the damage, recommend repairs, and help prevent further deterioration. At Rocket Roofing, we provide emergency inspections and fast repair services to restore your home quickly. 5. File an Insurance Claim If Necessary If the storm caused significant damage, take photos and document everything before contacting your insurance provider. A professional roofer can help assess the damage and provide the necessary reports for your claim. Storm damage can be overwhelming, but quick action can minimize its impact. If your roof has suffered from severe weather, contact Rocket Roofing for expert assessment and repairs.

Your roof is more than just a protective shield for your home—it plays a significant role in energy efficiency. Choosing the right roofing material can lower cooling costs, reduce heat absorption, and improve indoor comfort. If you're planning a roof replacement, consider these top energy-efficient roofing materials for 2025. 1. Metal Roofing: Durable & Reflective Metal roofs reflect sunlight, keeping your home cooler in the summer. They are also long-lasting (up to 50 years) and highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, making them a great investment for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency. 2. Cool Roofing Shingles: A Smart Upgrade Cool roofing shingles are specially designed with reflective coatings to minimize heat absorption. These shingles can lower roof surface temperature by up to 50°F, helping reduce cooling costs during hot summer months. 3. TPO Roofing: Ideal for Flat Roofs Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is a highly reflective and energy-efficient option commonly used for commercial buildings but also great for residential flat roofs. It helps lower energy bills by reducing heat buildup. 4. Clay & Concrete Tiles: Natural Insulation Clay and concrete tiles are excellent insulators that keep homes cool in warm climates. Their thermal properties reduce the need for excessive air conditioning, making them a sustainable choice for energy-conscious homeowners. 5. Green Roofing: Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Green roofs, which incorporate vegetation, provide natural insulation, reduce heat absorption, and improve air quality. While not as common, they are an innovative and environmentally friendly option gaining popularity in urban areas. When considering a roof replacement, energy efficiency should be a top priority. Choosing the right material can not only lower your utility bills but also enhance your home's overall value. If you're ready to upgrade your roof, contact Rocket Roofing to explore the best energy-efficient options for your home.
