“It’s about being a good person and doing the right thing,” Blaine Brown asserts. “Anyone can be a hero when someone is looking, but it's the things you do when you are not being watched or recognized that show your true character.”

It’s that very mindset of integrity that has guided Blaine and his growing team at BB Roofing to become one of the most trusted roofing companies in the Midwest. With six locations across Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, this family-focused, customer-obsessed company has become known not just for exceptional service, but for the transparency and care they bring to every job and community they serve.

“When a storm hits, we don’t just rebuild homes that have been destroyed — we restore confidence. That’s what drives me every day, being able to tell clients we’ll handle it,” Blaine elaborates.

BB Roofing offers comprehensive exterior services, including roofing, siding, gutters, and windows — but what they really deliver is peace of mind. Their expertise in navigating insurance claims combined with an emphasis on exceptional communication sets them apart.

“It’s about exceeding expectations, not just meeting them,” Blaine notes. “We’re trying to be the most reliable and customer service is at the top of our priority list.” 

Every estimate, every timeline, and every referral is handled with professionalism and care, because Blaine and his crews understand that when a Realtor refers a client, it’s their own reputation on the line, too.

That respect runs both ways. Blaine is quick to credit his team as the backbone of the business and the reason for its astounding growth. 

“BB Roofing wouldn’t be where it is today without these amazing people that make up our team. Ask anyone who works here — it’s a different culture than anywhere else they’ve been.”

From Southeast Nebraska to Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, and Kansas City, BB Roofing continues to grow with intention. 

“We’re always looking to expand, but we don’t just hire anybody,” Blaine adds. “Everyone on our team was a direct referral. They represent the brand, so the fit has to be right.”

Blaine was born in the southeastern Nebraska area of Shubert, where he was raised with strong values and a solid work ethic . He played football for Peru State College and later served as a coach there, until fatherhood redirected his path.

“I was offered a D1 coaching position, and it would have been a dream,” he admits. “But I had just had a daughter and I didn’t want to miss her life.” Ultimately, Blaine turned down the job, a decision he now labels the best he’s ever made.

After stepping away from coaching, Blaine entered the roofing industry with a reputable Omaha company and spent the next several years absorbing every critical piece of information he could. Feeling confident he had the knowledge to strike out on his own in 2014, he started BB Roofing back home in Southeast Nebraska, where he noticed an opportunity.

“This was the area that I grew up in and knew there was a need for a roofing company in that area,” he recalls. “The current roofing companies in the area were starting to get older and the owners were slowing down or retiring.”

From the very outset, Blaine’s company quickly expanded. First in rural Nebraska, then Omaha, then Lincoln in 2015 — and the rest is history.

“I asked my previous employer if he would have a problem with me working in this area and of course he said, ‘No, not at all,’ Blaine smiles. “He was very supportive of my business model.” 

In an industry that sometimes struggles with image, Blaine has worked hard to break the stereotype by focusing on the long-game while building trust. 

“It’s not about the shingles. Most of us use the same materials and install them correctly. What matters most is communication,” he points out.

The company’s five-year guarantee (not just a warranty) stands as proof of their commitment to quality and accountability. BB Roofing doesn’t charge for inspections or reports either, and discounts are given for direct referrals; and if they find a homeowner in serious need, they’ll often do the work at little to no cost.

“We’ve had customers break down in tears after we helped them when they had no options,” Blaine shares. “Those moments remind us why we do this.”

It’s that purpose-driven approach of showing up for people that makes BB Roofing a trusted name with countless five-star reviews and a growing network of lifelong clients and Realtor partners alike. The company was also recognized by the Lincoln Independent Business Association (LIBA) in 2019, one accolade out of many that meant a great deal to Blaine.

When he’s not managing multiple locations, crews, and clients, Blaine loves hanging at home with his family. He and his significant other, Alissa, live just outside Nebraska City, raising four amazing daughters — Amiya (16), Lexi (15), Briana (7), and Livia (5) — alongside three much-loved ‘boy’ dogs to balance things out: Rocky the English Bulldog, Winston the Frenchie, and Jaxx the Boxer.

Life with a house full of athletes means the Browns are constantly on the go to volleyball games, basketball tournaments, dance recitals, track meets, and more. But when time allows, Blaine loves to golf, travel, and just be with his girls. 

“They are what drives me to work as hard as I do,” he smiles. “When the day comes that I am no longer walking this Earth, I hope people do not remember me for my athletic or business accomplishments, but for being a loving father.” 

His approach to business is no different. Whether sponsoring local sports teams or giving quietly to charity without seeking recognition, Blaine leads with character and class. BB Roofing follows suit with a culture built around treating its employees like family while lifting up the communities they serve.

“If you’re not happy at home, you’re not going to be happy at work,” Blaine concludes. “And if you’re one of my employees missing your kid’s ballgame, then I’m not going to be happy either.”
