What to know about roofing in Omaha
Omaha's reroofing rules
The City of Omaha requires a permit for any roof repair or replacement covering more than 2 squares, or 200 square feet. The old roof covering, including underlayment, must be removed down to the sheathing, an ice barrier is required, and every job gets a final inspection at which photos of the clean deck and installed underlayment must be shown. Ask your roofer to confirm they will pull the permit and take those photos. Source: City of Omaha Permits and Inspections: Roof Repair and Replacement
Large hail is part of life here
The National Weather Service office that covers Omaha recorded hailstones about 5 inches across in Beatrice on June 11, 2022, the largest it had ever reported. Three days later, storms west of the metro brought hail up to 3 inches and winds of 75 to 115 mph that destroyed siding and windows on numerous homes. After a hailstorm, have your roof, gutters and siding checked even if damage is not obvious from the ground. Source: National Weather Service Omaha/Valley: Notable Weather Events of 2022
Filing a hail claim
The Nebraska Department of Insurance advises contacting your insurance company or agent once you believe you have a hail claim, and photographing or videotaping the damage if repairs must be made before an adjuster can see it. It notes that insurers usually set a deadline, often 180 days, to complete repairs, and that you should tell the adjuster if roofers' estimates come in higher than the adjuster's.

Check the license
Nebraska has no statewide roofing license, but every contractor doing business in the state must register with the Nebraska Department of Labor. Check the contractor in the department's registered contractor search, ask whether they hold any City of Omaha contractor license your job requires, and keep in mind the department notes that registration alone does not guarantee quality of work.
