What Affects Rates in Fremont
- May 2023 tornado cluster: Three separate tornadoes touched down in Dodge County on May 12, 2023, causing EF-2 damage to homes near the Elkhorn River and snapping power lines. A fourth EF-0 tornado struck south of Prenzlow Meat Factory on May 24, 2024, damaging outbuildings and uprooting pine trees. Homeowners in those areas filed concentrated replacement claims that summer.
- Hail frequency and size: Dodge County's 29 hail events since 2019 included multiple large-hail reports during June and July. Hail bruising on asphalt shingles often goes unnoticed until granule loss accelerates leaks 12–18 months later.
- Winter ice and wind load: Dodge County logged 5 winter storm events in the last five years, with ice accumulation and snow load stressing older roofs. Homes built around the county median year of 1964 often need replacement after combined hail and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Peak replacement season timing: Contractors in Fremont schedule most replacement work between late summer and October, after spring storm claims close and before winter weather returns. June and July hail damage creates scheduling backlogs that push projects into fall.
