Schank Roofing Scottsbluff, NE

Storm & hail response · Nebraska Panhandle

Storm just hit? Take a breath.

Most hail damage can't be seen from the ground, and most roofs that go through a storm are fine. A calm, documented inspection tells you which one yours is, before you talk to anyone about money.

Free inspection · Photo evidence either way · No pressure, no door-knocking

The first 24 hours

What to do before you call anyone

You don't need a contractor for this part. Stay on the ground, look, and write down what you see. It all helps your claim later.

01 · Safety

Stay on the ground

  • No ladders, no climbing
  • Watch for downed lines and sharp debris
  • Don't touch wet electrical fixtures

02 · Outside walk

Circle the house

  • Missing or broken shingles
  • Granules or shingle pieces on the ground
  • Dented gutters, downspouts, metal trim

03 · Inside check

Look up, look around

  • New ceiling or wall spots
  • Drips or damp areas
  • Attic: damp insulation, daylight, musty smell

04 · Document

Photograph everything

  • 10-20 photos outside, 5-10 inside
  • Note the storm date, time and hail size
  • Keep it all in one folder

Know who does what

What we do. What your adjuster does.

The insurance part feels opaque because two different jobs get mixed together. Split them apart and it stops being scary.

Schank Roofing

We document your roof

  • Inspect the roof and attic, photograph everything
  • Grade each finding Good, Watch or Fix Now
  • Hand you a report you can share with your insurer
  • Explain your options in plain language
  • Do the repair or replacement, if you choose us
Your insurance adjuster

They decide the claim

  • Works for your insurance company, not for us
  • Inspects and writes their own damage estimate
  • Decides what your policy covers
  • Sets the payout based on your policy terms

We can't decide your claim, and anyone who promises they can is someone to be careful with. What we can do is make sure nothing on your roof goes undocumented: adjusters work from evidence, and our report gives you plenty of it. Most policies limit how long you have to file after a storm, so check yours early.

Thank you for a job well done! This is truly a stand up company! I worked with the m from 200 miles away redoing the roof on my parents home after the September hail storm. Richard and his crew were stand up, honorable and did great work. Thank you for the help I would strongly recommend your company
