Wood Shake Roofs Are Becoming an Insurance Nightmare

Premiums Doubling

Wood shake roofs can cost 2-3x more to insure. Many Nebraska homeowners have seen rates jump 30-100% in just the past two years.

Coverage Dropped

Some insurers are refusing to renew wood shake policies entirely. Don't wait until you receive that non-renewal letter.

Storm Vulnerability

Omaha weather is brutal on wood shake. Hail, wind, and ice damage compound the insurance risk every season.

$

Home Value Impact

Buyers avoid wood shake roofs due to insurance headaches. A modern roof can significantly boost your home's resale value.

Four Steps to Lower Premiums

01

Free Roof Inspection

We start with a thorough, no-obligation inspection — checking your entire roof system from gutters and windows to ventilation, just like we do on every Anchor Roofing job.

02

Insurance Navigation

Our team has extensive experience with insurance claims. We help you understand your options, work with adjusters, and handle the paperwork so nothing falls through the cracks.

03

Expert Replacement

Our certified crews handle everything — property protection, quality installation with top brands like Owens Corning and CertainTeed, and complete cleanup. Most jobs finished in 1-3 days.

04

Premium Relief

With your new impact-resistant roof, you contact your insurer for updated premiums. Our customers consistently report significant annual savings.
