Our Roofing Services in Columbus, Nebraska

Here's what we do for Columbus homeowners and their roofs.

Roof Replacement in Columbus, Nebraska

About one in five Columbus homes was built in the 1970s. When a roof that age is worn out, we tear it off and install a replacement roof.

Common Roof Problems on Columbus Homes

Columbus has plenty of 1950s and 1970s homes, and their roofs tend to show these problems as they age.

Worn-Down Valleys

Water from two slopes funnels through each valley. The shingles there thin out first, and leaks follow.

Popping Nails

Temperature swings push roofing nails up through the shingles. Each popped nail is a small hole waiting for rain.

Split Pipe Boots

The rubber boot around a plumbing vent breaks down in sunlight. Once it splits, water runs down the pipe into the house.

Gutter sagging between bent hangers along a roof edge

Sagging Gutters

Rain and winter ice weigh gutters down until the hangers bend. Then water spills over the back and soaks the fascia.

Edges Starting to Curl

Aging shingles dry out and their edges curl up. The lifted edges catch wind and break off a piece at a time.

Hail and Wind Damage in Columbus

NOAA lists 75 hail reports within ten miles of Columbus since 2004, and June brings the most hail days, with 16 of them.

01

Three-inch hailstone on a roof next to a broken shingle

Hail Big Enough to Break Shingles

NOAA logged 3-inch hail near Columbus on May 19, 2025. Hail that big can break shingles and dent the decking beneath.

02

Dents in vinyl siding and holes in a window screen on one wall

Dented Siding and Window Screens

Look at the wall that took the storm head-on. Dented siding or holes in the screens mean your roof needs a closer look.

03

Shingles peeled back in rows after a straight-line windstorm

Torn Shingles After Straight-Line Winds

NOAA counts 10 wind reports of about 75 mph or more near Columbus since 2004. Winds that strong peel shingles off in rows.

04

Shingle granules gathered at the mouth of a downspout

Granules in the Gutters

After hail, grit collects in the gutters and at the bottom of downspouts. That grit is shingle granules, the roof's protective layer.

Columbus Roof Replacement & Installation FAQs:

  • Does Baylor Roofing work in Columbus?

    Yes! Columbus and all of Platte County are covered. Baylor Roofing's home office is at 4111 4th Ave, Suite 18, in Kearney, and the number is 308-270-3909.

  • Do you inspect roofs for free in Columbus?

    We do. We check the shingles, valleys, pipe boots, and gutters at no cost, then explain what we found and which repairs matter most to your home.

  • When is hail season in Columbus?

    Mostly June. NOAA shows 16 June hail days near Columbus since 2004, with May and July tied at 9 each. Hail can still show up late in the summer.

  • What should I do after hail hits Columbus?

    Take photos of what you can see from the ground and jot down the date. Then book a free inspection, and hold off on signing with anyone at your door until you know the damage.

  • Repair or replace: how do I decide?

    It comes down to age and how widespread the damage is. A newer roof with a few bad spots can usually be repaired. If wear or hail is everywhere, replacing is usually the better use of your money.

  • Can your crew replace gutters, siding, and windows too?

    We can. We install gutters with optional guards, plus siding and windows, so storm damage across the whole exterior can be handled together.

  • Which towns around Columbus do you serve?

    Lakeview, Duncan, Richland, Bellwood, Platte Center, Monroe, Schuyler, Shelby, David City, and Humphrey, plus Norfolk, York, Fremont, and Grand Island.
