Why so many Kansas City roofs need replacing
Hail damage often doesn't leak right away. Hits bruise the mat and knock granules loose, and the shingle wears out years early. A few recent storms show how wide an area one night can hit:
- March 13, 2024: 3.5-inch hail was measured at 55th Street and McCormick Drive in Shawnee, with half-dollar hail in western Lenexa and golf-ball hail in Liberty.
- May 19, 2024: the National Weather Service confirmed brief EF-1 tornadoes near Gardner, in western Shawnee, and through Prairie Village into Mission Hills during a late-night squall line.
- June 3, 2025: an EF-1 tornado with peak winds near 100 mph crossed about 3.75 miles of Independence.
If your roof went through storms like these and hasn't been checked since, an inspection tells you where it stands. Sometimes the honest answer is a repair, not a new roof. See roof repair in Kansas City.

Two Class 4 shingle choices built for hail country
Class 4 is the top impact rating in the UL 2218 test. It doesn't make a roof hail-proof, but it's the toughest shingle rating you can buy, and some insurers give a credit for it. Ask your agent.

What happens on install day
Protect the property
Tarps go down over the driveway, landscaping and walls next to the house before anything comes off the roof.
Tear off to the deck
Old shingles and underlayment come off so we can see the wood decking. If boards are soft or damaged, we show you and handle them as your proposal spells out.
Build the new roof
Underlayment, flashing at chimneys, walls and pipes, ventilation, and your new shingles go on per the scope you approved.
Clean up and photograph
We clean the site and document the finished work with project photos, so you have a record of what went on your house.
Permits: we hold a Johnson County contractor license (Class DR, License #2026-0011661, valid through 2026) and pull Kansas City, Missouri residential permits for our work on the Missouri side. If your HOA approves colors or materials, we schedule around that approval.

How we help with insurance claims · Kansas City claim vs retail
Two state lines, two sets of rules
Kansas City homeowners hire roofers under two different state laws. Good to know before you sign with anyone, including us:
- Kansas side: roofing contractors must be registered with the Kansas Attorney General. You can look up any roofer's status in the Attorney General's roofing registration directory.
- Johnson County: we hold a Johnson County contractor license (Class DR, License #2026-0011661, valid through 2026).
- Missouri side: a contractor can't offer to pay your insurance deductible to win the job. If your insurer tells you in writing that all or part of the claim isn't covered, you can cancel a roofing contract paid through insurance until midnight on the fifth business day after that notice.

Kansas City roof replacement questions
- How do I know if my Kansas City roof needs replacing or just a repair?
- Start with a free inspection. If the damage is limited and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually the better value, and we'll tell you that. Widespread hail bruising, curling or granule loss across many slopes, or repeated leaks in different spots usually point to a replacement. You get photos and a written scope either way.
- Do I need an insurance claim to replace my roof?
- No. Many Kansas City homeowners replace on a retail basis, on their own schedule. If hail or wind damaged your roof, we'll document it and explain the deductible math so you can decide whether filing makes sense. Your insurance company decides what's covered.
- What does Class 4 mean, and is it hail-proof?
- Class 4 is the top impact rating for shingles in the UL 2218 test. It means the shingle held up to the test's largest steel ball without cracking. It does not make a roof hail-proof, and very large hail can still damage it. Some insurers offer a credit for Class 4 roofs, so it's worth asking your agent.
- What's the difference between the Good, Better and Best packages?
- Good includes a 5-year craftsmanship warranty and 1 yearly roof checkup after installation. Better includes a 7-year craftsmanship warranty and 2 yearly checkups. Best includes a 10-year craftsmanship warranty, 3 yearly checkups, and seamless gutters and downspouts. Every package also carries the manufacturer's limited material warranty.
- Can I finance a new roof?
- Yes. $0 down, 1 year no payments, no interest — financing available through GreenSky for qualified homeowners, subject to credit approval. Ask about it during your consultation.
- Do I have to meet in person?
- No. You can choose a 20–25 minute phone consultation, or we'll sit down with you at your kitchen table with material samples. Before installation, we inspect your roof in person and confirm the project scope with you.
- My HOA has to approve shingle colors. Is that a problem?
- No. Tell us early. We'll give you the product and color details your HOA asks for and schedule the order around the approval.
- Which number should I call in Kansas City?
- Kansas side: (913) 396-8888. Missouri side: (816) 683-8888. Both reach our Kansas City team at 1134 W Cambridge Cir Dr, Kansas City, KS.
