Roofing in Holts Summit is not complicated work, but it is unforgiving work. A valley detailed wrong or flashing reused from the old roof will find you during the first hard rain — usually years after the contractor stopped answering.
Storm damage and insurance
Holts Summit housing runs older and more solidly built than the newer subdivisions west of here — a lot of brick, a lot of 1950s through 1970s construction, and roofs with dormers, chimneys and sidewall transitions where the flashing matters more than the field shingle. Mid-Missouri hail and straight-line wind do the visible damage; the freeze-thaw cycle does the rest, working every nail pop and seam through the winter. Hail bruising sits in the mat rather than on the surface, so it does not read from the street. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals, and put the storm date on the report so the claim reads clearly to an adjuster.
How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Rusted or tar-patched flashing where a brick wall or chimney meets the roof
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Shingles creased or lifted after a wind event, even with none missing
- Nail pops and lifted flashing from repeated freeze-thaw cycling
- Ceiling stains several feet from the actual point of entry
- A roof past twenty years that has never been professionally inspected
If it is an emergency right now
Call 573-343-8993 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. On older Holts Summit homes the water usually enters at a chimney, sidewall or dormer rather than out in the open field of the roof, and that is where we look first. For active water we tarp and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone.
