Serving Lincoln and Surrounding Communities
Tillotson has been working in Lincoln since 2008. We know this city - the older Craftsman and brick homes in Haymarket and Near South that need careful, experience-based roofing assessments. The fast-growing neighborhoods in southwest Lincoln - Wilderness Hills, Southpointe, Yankee Hill - where new construction is the norm and homeowners are making their first real roofing decisions. The commercial corridors on O Street and Cornhusker Highway, where building owners need contractors who show up on schedule and don't cut corners. The University of Nebraska facilities that require work done right the first time.
Nebraska's weather is hard on buildings. Hail and wind events in Lincoln are not rare - they are seasonal. Aging infrastructure in the city's older residential streets means homeowners are often dealing with problems that have been quietly building for years.
Since January 1, 2023, Tillotson has been employee-owned. That means the people doing the work on your property have a personal stake in how it turns out. Our Lincoln team lives here. They buy groceries here, raise their families here, and their neighbors are your neighbors. This is not a franchise or a regional branch staffed with seasonal crews. It is a local team with a direct line to ownership.
Want to know more about where we come from? Gene and Tammy Tillotson - both former teachers - founded this company in August 1987. That background shows up in how we work: we explain what we find, we show you your options, and we let you make the call.
Everything Your Property Needs - Under One Roof
One contractor. Every service. No handoffs to someone you have never met.
Most Active Lincoln Service
Residential Roofing
Lincoln is one of our most active residential roofing markets. Whether you are in an older neighborhood near downtown or a newer subdivision in the southwest, we assess honestly and install right.
Foundation Repair
Lincoln's soil conditions and freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on foundations. We diagnose the problem accurately and tell you what it actually takes to fix it.
Waterproofing & Encapsulation
Wet basements and crawl spaces are a persistent problem in Nebraska. We find the source of the moisture and address it - not just the symptoms.
Foam Insulation
Proper insulation keeps heating and cooling costs where they belong. We assess your current situation and recommend what your property actually needs.
Concrete Lifting & Leveling
Settled driveways, sidewalks, and slabs are a safety issue. We lift and level existing concrete rather than tear it out and start over - when that is the right call.
Commercial Roofing
Flat roofs, membrane systems, metal - we work on commercial properties across Lincoln's business corridors and handle projects of all sizes.
Lincoln's Trusted Residential Roofing Contractor
Lincoln has two residential roofing realities happening at the same time. Older neighborhoods - Irvingdale, Arnold Heights, College View - have aging homes that have been through decades of Nebraska weather. Southwest Lincoln's newer subdivisions in Wilderness Hills, Yankee Hill, Fallbrook, and Firethorn are full of homeowners who have never replaced a roof before and do not know who to trust when the time comes.
We have been here since 2008. That matters, because after a significant hail or wind event, Lincoln gets flooded with out-of-state contractors who go door to door with promises and then disappear when problems show up six months later. They are not from here. They are not coming back. We are still here.
Here is the other thing we will tell you straight: not every damaged roof needs to be replaced. Some contractors push for full replacement because it is a bigger job. We tell you what we actually find. If a repair handles it, we say so. If you need a new roof, we will show you exactly why.
Our installers are employee-owners. They are not seasonal subcontractors hired to hit a volume target. They own a piece of this company, and that changes how they approach the job.

What Lincoln Customers Say
Justin went above and beyond! Can’t recommend Tillotson enough. We had several other companies come to fix our commercial roof and fell short. Happy to say our 100 year old roof is now leak free.
"Had major leaking happening within our restaurant after a snow and ice storm. They were out before the end of the day and not only cleaned off and dried the roof, but patched all of the holes and areas that water could enter the building. Their method for patching looks far superior than other companies who patch membrane roofs and it stopped all leaking, when we received another round of snow and ice that evening. Great crew and their foreman even followed up 3 times over the next 2 weeks to ensure that the leaking had stopped and that the patches adhered properly to the membrane."
