Project Spotlight: Southwest Omaha Roof and Window Replacement
When a hail storm damaged the roofing shingles and dented the gutters of Chris and Dave’s Southwest Omaha home, the couple needed an Omaha roofer. Chris and Dave knew they could count on United Services to help as they had trusted us in the past to install custom replacement windows and a redesigned front entry door. For their new project, United Services upgraded their roofing to DaVinci composite shingles from the existing asphalt laminate shingles and installed new 6″ seamless gutters and downspouts. In this project spotlight Chris and Dave share their review on how their projects went, plus see before and after photos and learn more about their project.

How to Properly Maintain Your Roof
Maintaining your roof is important to protect your home from the elements and to avoid any problems when selling your house. As a local roofing contractor in Omaha, we recommend the following steps in order to properly maintain your roof to avoid leaks, rot and mold inside your home.
Minimize Your Time Walking on the Roof
While most roofs should be able to withstand the occasional traffic by someone looking to get that Frisbee or toy, you want to minimize it as much as possible, particularly with asphalt laminate shingles which are the most common roofing material. Wear sneakers or tennis shoes when walking on the roof in order to do as little damage as possible.
When inspecting your roof, use binoculars and stand on the ground or place a ladder against the roof and stand on the rungs to look it over. Metal roofing and composite roofing can handle more traffic, but these types of roofing are more slippery so you will need to be very careful. When in doubt, contact a roofer in Omaha, such as United Services, to inspect for you.
Make Repairs Quickly
When you see a potential flaw in the roof, even if it is a small shingle deterioration, it is imperative that you make repairs as soon as possible. The first thing you will want to do is determine if the repair is something you can seal up yourself or if you need to call a professional roofer to do the roof repair. Damage around items such as vents can usually be sealed fairly quickly using the right products. However, if the damage is of a more serious nature, then you will want to call a professional roofing company to ensure that the job is done correctly.
Consider Replacing Your Roof With DaVinci Composite Shingles or Metal
Roofs made with wood or asphalt laminate shingles are subject to more wear and tear and after hail storms may be damaged in a manner that compromises your home. If you are planning on living in your home for quite some time, then you may want to consider Davinci composite shingles or a metal roof.
While DaVinci composite roofing and metal roofs are more expensive, when properly installed they require very little maintenance and barring some type of catastrophic event or flaw will last a very long time. Plus, they will add to the resale value of your home as people appreciate what metal and composite roofs offer in both longevity and beauty.
Have Your Roof Inspected After a Hail Storm
After a hail storm have your roof inspected by a professional to spot any potential shingle and flashing damage upfront. The difference between correcting hail damage when it first happens and waiting until the damage becomes quite noticeable may end up costing you thousands of dollars.
How to Know When It's Time to Replace Your Roof
For many people, knowing when to replace their roof can be difficult. Most people do not think about their roofs until a serious issue becomes apparent such as a leak or noticeable hail damage after a storm. However, there are other, less noticeable signs to look out for.
Over 10 Years Old
If you have asphalt laminate shingles, you should have your roof inspected annually by a trusted roofer after the first ten years. This way, you’ll be able to spot small shingle cracks and separations before they become larger issues.
Unless you have metal roofing or DaVinci composite shingles, most shingled roofs are designed to last 15 to 20 years tops. Even if the roof still looks sound, the age of the shingles will start allowing water to seep through which means that you will need to call a roofing company for replacement.
Shingle Separation at the Corners
The corners are an important place to check as the expansion and contraction of the roof will start to weaken the structure of the shingles. When you start to see separation, it’s time to call a roofer.
Missing or Loose Shingles
The good news about shingles is that if they come off or peel away, you can see it almost immediately thanks to the break in their uniform appearance. Here, an inspector from a roofer will confirm if the shingles need to be replaced.
Cracks
This is the most obvious sign for many that your roof will need to be replaced. Cracking in the shingles is usually a sign of age as the material is starting to wither under the UV rays of the sun and elements. You’ll want to replace your shingles right away to prevent water from seeping into the structure of your roof and home.
Water Leaks in Your Ceiling
If there are signs of water on the ceiling which is directly below the roof and there are no water pipes above that spot, then you probably have a leak or seepage coming from the roof. Your roofer will check the integrity of the shingles and flashing around vents and chimneys to see determine how the water is getting in and either make necessary repairs or suggest a full roof replacement depending on the extent of the damage.

Hi, this is Mark with United Services. We just finished a house in Bellevue, NE, probably built around 1952 or ’53. We just did Tamko roofing and also six inch gutters and aluminum soffits and fascia on the house. The place looks awesome. The roof is beautiful. We replaced 49 sheets of the roof decking. Depending on the area and depending on the age of the house there are certain things you need to do to properly install a roof. That’s why at United Services we give you customized pricing before the job starts and make sure everything is in writing and everything is done correctly. Thank you very much.
Mark: Hi, I’m Mark in Bellevue, NE. We just finished this house on Brenda Street. What do you think so far?
Homeowner: I think you talked me into a good color, they look good. You talked me into big gutters, they look good. I’m pretty happy.
Mark: Well, very nice. We did go over the different colors of black, there’s black walnut and rustic black. You got black walnut with a tad bit of red and they got the oversized downspouts which look beautiful. I want to say personally thank you very much for letting me do your house.
Homeowner: You’re welcome, i think it’s going to work out good.
