Kansas City homeowners deal with the same weather every year: hail in spring, straight-line wind through summer, then ice working at the eaves all winter. We have crews local to Kansas City and a phone that gets answered at two in the morning.
Why people here call us back
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation, standard

If it is an emergency right now
Call 816-872-9500 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. On older Kansas City housing the water usually enters at a chimney, sidewall or dormer rather than out in the 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. Crews run metro routes daily.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Plank decking that feels soft or springy underfoot during an inspection
- Tar patches at chimney, dormer or sidewall flashing from a previous cosmetic repair
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Nail pops and lifted flashing from hard freeze-thaw cycling
- Ice and water backing up at the gutter line in winter
- A pre-1960 home whose roof has never been professionally inspected

Storm damage and insurance
Kansas City sits in the older core of the Kansas City metro, and roofs here fail from the inside out. Under the shingles we routinely find plank decking, a second layer nobody disclosed, and original flashing at chimneys and dormers that has been patched with tar more than once. Kansas City gets hail often and hard, but what finishes these roofs is the freeze-thaw cycle working every nail pop and flashing seam from December through March. Hail bruises the shingle mat rather than the surface, so the damage does not read from the street. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals — gutters, valley metal, vent caps — and record the storm date, because a claim here is decided on that evidence.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a roof replacement take?
- Most residential roofs are a one-day tear-off and installation. Larger or more complex rooflines run two to three days, and weather moves schedules more than anything else.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Yes. We inspect, photograph every slope and give you a written report at no cost and no obligation, whether or not there is a sale in it.
- Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
- Yes, and we do it regularly. If a repair will genuinely carry the roof for years, that is what we will recommend even though it is the smaller job.
- Do you offer financing?
- We work with many different financing vendors, so there is usually more than one option. We review what fits after inspecting the roof and giving you a written price.
