The votes are in for the 2026 Omaha’s Choice Awards — and Hawkins Roofing, a locally owned Omaha company serving the community for over 40 years, swept to first place as the area’s Best Roofing and Siding company.
Owner Dudley Hawkins said the recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from the community the company has served for more than 40 years. “We feel honored that people have chosen us,” he said. “We’re part of this community, and we take pride in being honest, reliable and committed to doing good work.”
Born and raised in Omaha, Dudley Hawkins and his wife, co-owner Debby Hawkins, built Hawkins Roofing from the ground up more than 40 years ago. Today, the company remains local, family-owned and committed to serving neighbors across the metro area.
A leap of faith that built a local legacy
Mr. Hawkins said the decision to start the company came from a simple question: If he could do quality roofing work for someone else, why not build something of his own? The timing was intimidating — the couple had just welcomed a baby — but they chose to take the leap.
Their first customers were mostly friends, but word spread quickly. Over the next four decades, Hawkins Roofing grew into a trusted local, family-owned company known for residential and commercial roofing, as well as gutters, siding, windows and more.
Quality, experience and integrity
Their first-place award reflects a decades-long reputation for quality craftsmanship and dependable service. Hawkins Roofing is backed by an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, Google reviews averaging over 4 stars and certifications from leading manufacturers.
Hawkins Roofing uses high-quality materials to fit a range of project needs and budgets. Residential and commercial customers can choose from trusted products backed by manufacturers’ warranties, along with Hawkins Roofing’s own labor warranty. Each project is completed by skilled crews committed to dependable workmanship.
Personal service, day or night
As Hawkins Roofing’s reputation grew, so did its customer base. Even so, the company has never lost its neighbor-to-neighbor approach. Every client is treated with the same care and attention that helped build the business from the beginning.
That personal service begins with the first phone call. Instead of reaching a phone tree or an out-of-town representative, customers speak directly with Debby Hawkins, who answers calls personally around the clock — even during late-night storms.
Guidance through the insurance process
Clients also value the way Hawkins Roofing helps them navigate insurance claims, a process that can often feel confusing and overwhelming after storm damage.
Hawkins said the company works to help homeowners receive the full coverage they are entitled to after storm damage. Hawkins Roofing’s experienced roofing consultants assist clients throughout the claims process, carefully identifying important details that can easily be missed. Without that experience, insurance companies may overlook costly repairs needed to restore a home to its pre-storm condition.
Schedule a roof inspection before small problems become costly repairs
Strong winds in the Omaha area can loosen, lift or even tear shingles from a roof. Because the damage is not always visible from the ground, homeowners may not notice a problem until the next storm brings leaks, water damage or ice buildup.
If you suspect your roof has been damaged — or if repairs to your home are still unfinished — call Hawkins Roofing. One of their experienced roofing consultants will inspect your roof, explain what they find and help you understand the best next steps.
