Crete, Nebraska, is a town where the brick downtown and the farmsteads along the Blue River tell you everything about the roofs above them. The older homes near the courthouse square and the grain operations out on the edge of town take a beating from hail, wind, and heavy snow, and that is exactly the kind of work we do.
Homeowners in Crete (68333) call Lincoln Metal Roofing because we understand the mix of historic brick homes and working agricultural buildings here. Whether it is a porch roof on a 1920s house near Doane University or a machine shed out on a gravel road, we bring the same insured crews and straight answers.
Metal Roofing in Crete (68333)
Crete sits in the Blue River valley, and the ground here is a mix of rich silty loam and older clay that moves with the freeze-thaw cycles. That means flashing details around chimneys and eaves need to be done right the first time, because water will find any gap. The housing stock ranges from late-1800s brick commercial buildings downtown to mid-century ranches and newer subdivisions on the north side. Many of the older homes have steep roofs and limited access, so we plan staging carefully to avoid damaging landscaping or brickwork. On the farm edges toward Dorchester and Swanton, corrugated metal barns and machine sheds are common, and we repair and replace those panels with the same materials that have kept them dry for decades.
Our team has worked across Lincoln and the surrounding counties, and we know how Crete's mix of historic properties and agricultural buildings demands a flexible approach. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, so you are covered from the first day on site.

How a Job Works in Crete
Step 1: You call us at (402) 858-4652 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment at your Crete property, usually within a few days, and we walk the roof with you to identify any issues. We check flashing, fasteners, seams, and drainage, and we take photos so you can see exactly what we see.
Step 2: Once you approve the scope and price, we pull the required permits with the City of Crete and schedule the work. For homes near the downtown historic district, we coordinate with any design review requirements before ordering materials. On tight lots or properties with steep driveways, we plan delivery and staging to keep access clear for you and your neighbors.
Step 3: After the installation or repair, we clean up thoroughly, including a magnet sweep for nails and a final walkthrough with you. We do not leave until you are satisfied and the site is as clean as we found it.
Pricing in Crete depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, and replacement at $9. If you are going over existing shingles, retrofit starts at $7 per square foot, but keep in mind local code limits how many layers you can cover. Repairs start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. For a typical Crete ranch home, a full replacement might land in the $12,000 to $20,000 range, while a smaller repair could be a few hundred dollars. We give you a written estimate after inspecting your roof, and we explain all the factors so you can make an informed decision. Call (402) 858-4652 for a free estimate.
