Serving Central Nebraska from Kearney
Tillotson has been headquartered in Kearney since 2002. That's not a coincidence - a significant hailstorm hit the area that year, and we came to help. When the work kept coming and the relationships kept building, we stayed. Kearney made sense. It still does.
Kearney sits at the geographic center of Nebraska, right on I-80, where the agricultural economy of the south-central plains meets a growing commercial and manufacturing corridor. The University of Nebraska at Kearney anchors the city's east side. Retail, industrial, and ag-processing operations fan out from the I-80 interchange in every direction. From here, we can reach the farms, the machine sheds, and the commercial buildings across a wide stretch of central Nebraska without losing half a day in the truck.
We know central Nebraska because we've been on the farms and in the machine sheds out here for over two decades. That's not a sales line - it's just what two decades of showing up looks like.
Tillotson was founded in August 1987 by Gene and Tammy Tillotson, both former teachers. That background shows. We'd rather explain what you actually need than push you toward a job that doesn't fit. On January 1, 2023, Tillotson became employee-owned. Our crew doesn't clock out at 5 and forget about you - they have a stake in every job we do.
Full-Service Contractor for Central Nebraska
One call covers the roof, the foundation, the insulation, and the concrete. We handle commercial, agricultural, and residential work - and we do it without subcontracting out the parts that matter.
Serving Nebraska's Ag Community
Agriculture Roofing
Machine sheds, grain storage, pole barns - we know what farm structures need.
Whether you're patching a leaking metal roof or replacing an aging structure outright, we'll tell you exactly what it needs - and what it doesn't.
Commercial Roofing
Flat roofs, metal roofing systems, and commercial reroofing for the I-80 corridor and beyond - done right, documented, and built to last.
Residential Roofing
Honest assessments, no unnecessary replacements, and a crew that treats your home the same way they'd treat their own.
Foundation Repair
If your foundation is shifting, cracking, or settling, we diagnose the cause and repair it - we don't just cover up the symptoms.
Waterproofing & Encapsulation
Wet crawl spaces and leaking basements don't fix themselves - we seal them at the source.
Foam Insulation
Spray foam for commercial buildings, agricultural facilities, and homes - tighter envelopes, lower energy bills, and no insulation that sags or settles over time.
Concrete Lifting & Leveling
Uneven sidewalks, settled slabs, and sunken driveways - we lift and level them without tearing out and replacing concrete that still has years of life left.
Your Central Nebraska Contractor - Rural and Commercial Reach
Kearney's position on I-80 means we can move efficiently across the central Nebraska territory. That matters if you're running a commercial building on the interstate corridor or a farm operation 40 miles from the nearest town.
On the commercial side, we work with industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, ag-processing operations, retail buildings, and everything in between. If it has a roof, a foundation, or a concrete slab, we've probably worked on something like it.
On the agricultural side, the fit is just as natural. Machine shed roofing, pole barn repair, grain storage building work, foam insulation for livestock facilities - these are jobs we've done across central Nebraska, on properties that larger metro contractors simply won't drive to. We will.
If you've got a machine shed roof that's been leaking since spring, we've heard that before. It's not complicated. Call us and we'll come out and tell you what it actually needs.
Two things we hear too often from customers who called someone else first: their contractor never showed up when they said they would, and they quoted a full replacement on a roof that needed a repair. We're not that contractor.

What Central Nebraska Customers Say
"The entire process was smooth from the first call, to the follow up after the work was completed. The price was fair, time it took to complete the large roof was incredible. Very much appreciated how well they cleaned up. All around a great company to work with, and definitely have recommended them to fellow business owners."
"Tillotson was a great company to work with. The salesman I met with was Ricky, and he helped me line up a much needed spray foam insulation on an old shop. He was prompt to show up, explained everything very thoroughly and made it very understandable. Communication was great over the phone and also with text and e-mails. The team that showed up to do the work was prompt, completed the job timely (and to my needs), did a good job cleaning up and were easy to work with. The people I got to work with made the job and experience seem less!"
