Your Home Deserves a Roof That Won’t Quit
Protect Your Home with a Roof That Lasts
If you live in Nebraska, your roof takes a beating year-round. High winds, hail, heavy snow, and blazing summers—it never gets a break. Over time, wear and tear add up, and when your roof starts failing, it puts your home and wallet at risk.
A strong roof means a safer home, lower maintenance, and fewer headaches down the road. It protects your investment, keeps energy bills in check, and gives you peace of mind knowing your home can handle whatever the forecast throws at it. Whether you need a full replacement, storm repairs, or just an inspection, Prellwitz Exteriors is the team to call.
No stress. No sales pitch. No unnecessary upsells. We show up, conduct honest inspections, make the right recommendations and get the job done right.
Roof Repairs & Storm Damage Solutions
Not every roofing issue requires a full replacement. If caught early, many problems can be repaired quickly, so you don’t face more costly damage down the road. Leaks, missing shingles, and worn-out flashing shouldn’t be ignored. Our team can diagnose and fix the issue before it turns into a major problem.
Severe storms can cause shingles to rip off, hail to puncture the surface, or wind to tear flashing loose. When that happens, quick action is key. We provide emergency storm damage repairs to prevent further water intrusion and restore your roof’s integrity as fast as possible.
Nebraska weather is unpredictable, and hail, high winds, and heavy snow can cause serious roof damage. If a storm has ripped off shingles or left your roof compromised, we provide emergency repairs to stop leaks and protect your home from further damage.
Covered by insurance? Dealing with roof damage is stressful enough, you shouldn’t have to fight your insurance company too. That’s why our team works directly with adjusters to make sure all damage is properly documented and that you get the coverage you’re entitled for roof repairs or a replacement.
Not sure if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement? We offer free roof inspections to give you an honest picture of your roof’s condition. We check for hidden leaks, damaged shingles, flashing issues, and weak spots that could turn into bigger problems down the road. If repairs are all you need, we’ll tell you. If a replacement is the smarter move, we’ll explain why. No pressure, no sales pitches, no unnecessary upsells.
Choosing the Right Roof: Materials That Go the Distance
Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for residential roofs in the Midwest. Offering a great mix of affordability, durability, and design flexibility they provide the best protection for residential homes. We stock durable architectural shingles, weatherproof, impact-resistant shingles and high-end designer shingles that mimic the look of slate or wood shakes.
For homeowners looking for a roof that lasts decades with minimal upkeep, metal roofing is one of the best investments you can make. Unlike asphalt shingles, which need replacing every 20-30 years, a properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years. They reflect heat in the summer, handle heavy snow in the winter, and are incredibly energy-efficient.
Unlike pitched roofs, where gravity helps water run off, flat roofs require a waterproof, weather-resistant system instead of traditional shingles. Built-up roofing (BUR) is one of the most reliable choices, using multiple layers of waterproofing materials and a protective topcoat to create a tough surface. Modified bitumen is another excellent option that can handle temperature changes without cracking or splitting.
A durable roof isn’t just about shingles or panels. It’s about how everything works together. We also install and maintain flashing, ridge vents, and protective coatings to improve your roof’s efficiency and extend its lifespan.
When to Replace Your Home’s Roof
Damaged or missing shingles expose the underlayment, leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks and further deterioration.
If you’re finding dark, sand-like particles in your gutters and you have a shingle roof, it means your shingles are wearing down. Losing granules means less UV protection and a shorter lifespan.
If you see stains on ceilings, damp spots in the attic, or mold growth, water is getting in somewhere it shouldn’t be. The longer you wait, the worse the damage will get.
Residential Roofing & Exteriors FAQs
There are several factors to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace a residential roof. One of the most important factors is the age of the roof. If a roof is relatively new, it may be more cost-effective to opt for a residential roof restoration rather than replace it. If a roof is older, however, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
Another important factor to consider is the condition of the roof. If the roof is in good condition, it may be more cost-effective to repair it. If the roof is damaged or worn out, however, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
The type of damage that the roof has sustained is another important factor to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace a residential roof. Some types of damage can be repaired, while others cannot. Not sure what’s best, reach out to organize a roof inspection today.
Every roofing situation is unique, and the best time to replace a residential roof will vary depending on the specific circumstances. However, there are some general guidelines that can help you decide when it’s time for a new roof.
If your roof is more than 15 years old, it’s probably time for a replacement. If you have experienced any major leaks or water damage, it might be time for a new roof. If your roof is in bad condition, e.g. many patches of missing materials, the surface is starting to peel or curl up, or there are large amounts of moss or algae growth, it’s definitely time for a replacement.
If you’re not sure whether your roof needs to be replaced, it’s always best to consult with a professional roofing contractor. Our team can assess the condition of your roof and give you an accurate estimate for the cost of a replacement or offer restoration options to extend the life of your current roof.
A good rule of thumb is between $300 per square meter to $600 per square meter. This can vary depending on several factors and materials used for the residential roof replacement.
Other factors to consider are how many layers need to be removed, if there is a difficult ridgeline or flashing to deal with, and if the amount of work needed to remove and replace the roof is more than average. These will all affect the cost more per square meter.
The best way to determine the cost is by contacting us for a free on-site consultation. Our team can assess the condition of your roof and give you an accurate estimate based on the work that needs to be done, so you can make the best decision for your business.
