The storms that hit the Omaha area last week left devastating damage for many of our neighbors. Our thoughts remain with everyone who sustained property damage from the tornadoes.

If your home or business was damaged in the storms, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to choosing the contractor that is right for your job.

The Rooferees have some advice – be aware, and choose a local company! It is not unusual for storm chasing companies to arrive in an area that has been hard hit by Mother Nature. These companies tend to promise the lowest prices in town, handle the insurance process with no waiting period for your new roof or siding. If it sounds too good to be true – it is! And, never sign an agreement with work they promise to perform.

As the Rooferees have cautioned in the past – it’s important to choose a roofing contractor who is local to Omaha. Weatherguard Inc is a local, family-owned business founded by John Higgins, who remains involved with the day-to-day operations of Weatherguard Inc. When you call the Rooferees, you can trust you will work with a trusted local company that will be here to serve you down the road if you have questions or need additional services.

Make sure the company you choose is truly a local company. Beware of storm chasers and promises that sound too good to be true. Your home or business is an investment, don’t settle for empty promises – choose the best!
