Free Hail Damage Inspection – We thoroughly inspect your entire roof, looking for damaged shingles, vents, flashing, etc. We mark the damage with chalk to make it easier for your insurance adjuster to see it in person and in our assessment reports. We also inspect the rest of your exterior, looking for hail damage to your gutters, siding, windows and screens, siding, landscaping, and even personal belongings like barbeque grills, shade umbrellas, and children’s outside toys.
Share Damage Report – We document everything we find on your roof and around your home’s exterior into a single digital report for you to share with your insurance company. The report includes numerous photos of the storm damage, including detailed close-ups.
Insurance Adjuster Meeting – We’ll join you on your call with your insurance adjuster to review the damage and cost of restoring your property to its “pre-loss condition” (as they call it).
Material Selection Meeting – Once you get things squared away with your insurance adjuster, we’ll meet with you to discuss options for shingle materials and colors, siding options and colors, windows, and other details. We’ll also discuss whether you want to do any repairs yourself, like replacing window screens and landscaping, so you don’t have to pay as much for your deductible out of pocket.
Provide Accurate Estimate – Our No Surprises Guarantee Quote includes everything needed to repair your home, including materials, labor, permits, dumpsters, temporary toilets (if needed), etc. We believe in transparency, and you won’t experience any hidden fees or general conditions working with Nastase.
Repair Storm Damage – We take care of all of your exterior repairs and leave your home better than before.

The Difference Working with Nastase Contracting
We take care of your entire exterior, so you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors to replace your roof, siding, gutters, and windows. You don’t need to worry about that hassle when working with us.
We’re by your side throughout the entire process – you don’t feel like you’re fighting with your insurance company alone. We provide you with a free damage assessment, sit with you in the Insurance Adjuster Meeting, and work with your insurance company through the Statement of Completion.
We don’t like surprises, and we know you don’t either. We’re transparent with your pricing and provide you with an accurate and transparent No Surprises Guarantee Quote.
Outside of your deductible, you will not have to pay anything more unless you choose to upgrade your roof, siding, windows, or other building materials over what they were before the storm. We will repair everything the insurance company includes in their scope of work for the amount they approve to get you back to what insurance policies call “pre-loss condition.”
Most insurance companies will recommend having a contractor inspect the home initially and then have that contractor meet on-site when the insurance adjuster comes out to do their own assessment. This is referred to as the “Adjuster Meeting” and is critical to ensure all parties are on the same page regarding the scope of damage.
Of course. We understand you don’t regularly work on insurance claims. No need to worry because we do, especially after a hail storm. We try to be at 100% of our customers’ adjuster meetings and serve as your advocate to ensure you’re getting fairly compensated for the coverage you’re entitled to per your policy. If the damage is more extensive than initially thought, we will work directly with your insurance company to cover that cost.
The duration varies by policy. However, policies in the Omaha area generally require the work to be completed within 12-24 months from the date of loss.
Your policy entitles you to be “made whole” by restoring your home to its condition before the storm. Policies vary in how they compensate policyholders for older roofs, including whether you have full replacement value or prorate the repair based on age.
We will repair everything in the scope, including your roof, siding, windows, gutters, and even your landscaping, light fixtures, and even replace your patio furniture.
Yes, once your insurance company determines the scope of work, we will ask you which tasks you want to handle or choose not to do. Many of our customers will handle some tasks, like replacing window screens, to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses from the deductible.
We completely replace most small and medium-sized roofs in just one day. Larger and more complex roofs may take two days to complete. If so, we work on those roofs in sections to ensure they stay watertight.
We remove your old roof in sections, immediately clean and prep the area, add the underlayment, and then the shingles, so no section of your home is exposed for more than one hour.
With our “No Surprises Guarantee” Quote, nothing changes for you. We document the damage with insurance claims and submit the photos to your insurance company requesting a supplement payment.
Your insurance company will pay for repairs or a replacement to return your home to a “pre-loss condition.” You can choose to upgrade your materials, such as upgrading to an Impact-Resistant or Class 4 shingle or adding gutter guards or leaf filters, and pay the difference in cost.
We use multiple methods to protect your home, vehicles, and landscaping from damage during our work, and our crews are trained in those methods along with industry-standard safety training.
