Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Nelson Contracting: 26613, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Nebraska state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Nebraska state licensing board before hiring.
- Registered Corporation The Nebraska Secretary of State listed Nelson Contracting as Active when we last checked on Jul 7, 2026. You can confirm it's still current with the Nebraska Secretary of State.
- Business Address Nelson Contracting's listed address at 4108 Progressive Ave #6, Lincoln, NE 68504 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Nelson Contracting. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Nelson Contracting (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.7 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.
We verified 4/5 public records for Nelson Contracting. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Reviewers report that Nelson Contracting generally provides friendly customer service and responsive communication. Several customers praise the quality of their work on roofing, gutters, siding, and fascia projects, with one reviewer noting clean job sites. Some reviewers describe the pricing as reasonable. However, experiences vary: one customer reported that a three-problem siding repair required three separate visits to complete, with communication difficulties involving subcontractors noted as a challenge. Another reviewer expressed satisfaction with initial work on a porch and siding project but reported difficulty reaching someone to resolve billing and insurance questions after repeated attempts over four weeks. One reviewer noted that while a roof leak repair appeared successful after a storm, more time was needed to fully assess the fix.
