  • New Roof Installation in Papillon NE

    New Roof Installation in Papillon NE

    Recently, a residential property owner in Papillon, NE needed help with finishing the exterior of their home, including windows, siding, and a new roof. Luckily, homeowners in the greater Omaha, Nebraska area have roofing and home exterior experts on their side: Arcosanti, Inc. The experienced contractors at Arcosanti have been helping their Nebraska neighbors with home exterior projects and roofing for over fifteen years, so they can handle any job, including revamping the exterior of this Papillon home.

    After hearing from the homeowner, we sent one of our experienced, licensed inspectors out to find out what we could do for them. New windows were the homeowner’s first concern, which is not a problem for Arcosanti, Inc. Our time in construction means we can get the finest quality products, including windows and exterior siding. Speaking of siding, our home exterior experts realized they needed to repair siding to complete the installation of new windows.

    During our detailed inspection of the siding and roof, our inspector realized they also needed a new roof to properly insulate and protect their home. While a new roof might seem like a large expense to a new homeowner, roof leaks can costs several times more in repairs to both the exterior and interior of a home. Our Papillon, NE clients decided that a new roof was the best protection, and our experienced roofers installed it quickly and left the property clean. If you’re in the Omaha, NE area and want to protect your home, contact Arcosanti for a consultation right away.

    Natural Slate Roofing vs Architectural Shingles vs Synthetic Slate Roofing

    Slate roofing shingles have been in use for hundreds of years, making them a classically beautiful choice for your home or business in the Omaha, NE area. With slate tiles, local property owners get that luxury roofing look with the classic longevity of a natural stone roofing material. Many slate roofing options are more economical than you might think, and there are also many other shingle types that can mimic the look of slate shingles, such as architectural shingles made from modern roofing materials. With a reputable local roofing company, you can find plenty of choices for slate shingles either made from natural stone or modern laminate materials.

    Advantages of slate roofing

    Slate stone is naturally waterproof, fire resistant, and heavy enough to resist wind. Because slate is a natural material, it’s also environmentally friendly, recyclable, and cost effective. Slate roofing shingles can be professionally installed to be as durable and waterproof as modern roofing shingles, only with natural longevity and beauty.

    Advantages of Synthetic Slate Roofing

    There are also slate tiles available that aren’t made of natural stone, like DaVinci slate tiles. When you get laminate shingles with a slate tile look from your trusted local roofer, you have the added benefits of modern roofing materials while retaining that natural stone aesthetic. Of course the overall style of slate roofing shingles is the main advantage because it’s classic but also unique.

    Typical applications of Slate Roofing in Omaha NE

    Any property owner, whether commercial or residential, can benefit from a new roof with slate shingles, though this type of roofing is most commonly used on roofs that have a steep slope because the position of overlapping shingles helps shed water and resist wind. This means that slate roofing is most commonly seen on residential homes. With a flat roof like most commercial buildings have, slate will be too heavy, but that doesn’t mean commercial property owners can’t get that luxury natural stone look. Retail businesses, multi-family dwellings, cottage style business parks, and many other types of commercial roofs would look beautiful with slate tiles or DaVinci slate shingles.

    Roofer in Bellevue NE completes roof inspection after storm damage

    As one of the leading roofers in the Omaha area, Arcosanti Inc is dedicated to helping our Nebraska neighbors keep their homes safe and dry. After purchasing a residential property in Bellevue, NE, the new homeowners contacted their most trusted roofing company: Arcosanti, Inc. One of our experienced roofing experts was able to get out to their residential property right away. 

    During the detailed inspection, our roofing expert discovered evidence of sloppy roof installation by the previous roofers. Important pieces of siding were not properly secured, and had slid out of place, causing hazards. Shingles had shifted and broken, and some shingles were already worn from foot traffic during installation. The sand topping on most asphalt shingles protects the roof from UV damage and heat transfer, and when it is worn away like this, it can lead to leaks.  

    We also found several areas of weather damage that needed repair, including hail damage. While asphalt shingle roofs are designed to let most storm water run safely off the roof, wind-blown debris and hailstones can damage even the strongest shingles. This roof had several holes from hail as well as lifted shingles.

    For over fifteen years, Arcosanti, Inc. has been helping our Nebraska neighbors with their roofing needs, whether that’s repairing storm damage or installing a new roof. Because of our years in roofing, we have developed relationships with roofing, siding, and gutter suppliers so that we can bring the best work to every job.

  • New Roof in Papillion NE

    New Roof in Papillion NE

    The experienced roofing team at Arcosanti, Inc. had the opportunity to do an asphalt reroofing project in Papillion NE.

    The couple had recently purchased their home and had found out afterward that there was hail damage when their insurance company came out to inspect the property prior to coverage. The client needed someone who could work with their lawyer to identify hail damage and provide an estimate to the seller’s lawyer in addition to justification for the roof repair work needed and pricing.

    The client had previously received estimates from three other roofing companies – each of which were also able to confirm there was hail damage. However, their estimates were all over the place and many of their findings of hail damage were biased. The buyers’ lawyers wanted estimates and roof reports from four companies, so they gave us a call as they were referred to us by a previous client of ours. They explained their situation and asked if we could help.

    We are equipped to help with such situations. We use Xactimate pricing, which is the same pricing the insurance industry uses. We also use an XAP360 for our drone inspections with AI analysis, which offers detailed and clear proof of damage in an unbiased and scientific manner. Ultimately, the lawyers chose to work with us and our numbers because they could be backed up in court if needed and as it turns out, the lawsuit was settled based off of our accurate inspection and estimate.

    We replaced the roof for the client in addition to helping with the lawsuit details. We installed gorgeous new Malarkey Vista lifetime architectural shingles and the homeowners were amazed at how much the shingles added to the house – and their peace of mind, knowing their property is now protected.

    Thank you for choosing Arcosanti, Inc. for your roofing needs!

  • Storm Damage Roof Replacement in Omaha NE

    Storm Damage Roof Replacement in Omaha NE

    Arcosanti, Inc. performed a successful storm damage roofing claim and roof replacement project for homeowners in Omaha, NE.

    The homeowners were experiencing multiple leaks during rainstorms. Some items within their home were damaged before they even realized that the leakage was as severe as it was. They asked friends of theirs for advice on who to call and they were told by several previous clients to call us.

    We arrived for an estimate the next day, as we wanted to prioritize their problem. We inspected the roof with the XAP360 drone, which showed hail damage that needed to be turned into insurance. We told the client we would be happy to help with the claims process and they were thrilled we could assist. We turned the claim in and insurance approved the claim based on the results of the drone inspection.

    We also noticed during the inspection that the previous roofing company, who replaced the roof in 2013, didn’t properly flash the sidewall/roof connection, which led to significant rotten wood. This eventually rotted through the wood into the house, which is why the leaks were so severe, so our team planned to address those issues as well.

    Our crew got started on the following week. They prepared the area for the project and removed the existing roof. They then replaced the rotten decking, the sidewall flashing and then they installed the roof and siding to industry standards and manufacturer specifications.

    The client was more than happy with the project. Not only did they call us expecting to pay out of pocket to fix the leak and were happy that we identified the source of the leak and that it should be covered by insurance, but they also were enthralled with their new roof. The curb appeal is definitely increased for their beautiful home.
