Commercial Roofing & Restoration

Commercial property owners suffered heavy losses after Kearney, Hastings, York, and Seward, NE, were ravaged by high winds, hailstone strikes, and a tornado on Tuesday, June 14th. Early reporting indicates widespread businesses have been crippled and require emergency roof repair. RestoreMasters already has commercial roof inspection services professionals in the field to expedite a commercial roof inspection request.
In Seward, massive hailstone strikes nearly destroyed businesses. ABC affiliate KLKN reported that Rumery Lawn & Landscape suffered upwards of $50,000 in property damage. “Jerry (Rumery) said doors will be closed for the rest of the week as his team assesses the damage, but he’s hopeful to open back up in some capacity next week.” Commercial property owners can request a complimentary roof inspection to estimate repair costs and expedite insurance claims.
A local high wind, tornado, and hailstorm damage map shows multiple overlapping storm cells stretching from east of Kearney along I-80 to Lincoln. The yellow areas point to hail up to 1.25 inches peppering communities. The light orange indicates ice up to 1.75 inches made landfall. The dark orange swaths indicate hailstones up to 2.5 inches in diameter caused significant roof damage. The light and dark gray sections are where neighborhoods and business districts experienced high wind and tornado roof damage.

Storm images and videos have been posted to social media, by residents and news centers.
Taylor, NE hailstone cross-sections. Was surprised to see almost no homogeneity in internal ring patterns, nearly all stones were different. Some had numerous thin layers, some had only 2 or 3 thicker layers. Full Gallery: https://t.co/SZAYUgrvWU #hail pic.twitter.com/Dx0bitJlq1

RestoreMasters sent emergency roof repair and commercial building inspection experts to Beatrice, NE, after a storm on June 11, 2022.
Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems. Older roofs are susceptible to severe wind damage, by winds as low as 50 mph. Roof damage can be severe or mild, depending on various factors which include: materials used on the roof, impact of debris, building height and proximity to other buildings, age, angle and shape of the roof and type of roofing.
