You already know the storm did damage. Maybe the adjuster has been out, maybe you can see torn shingles from the yard, maybe the ceiling in the upstairs hallway is stained. What you don’t know is what happens next: who fixes what, how long it takes, and how to make sure the roof that goes back on is better than the one the storm tore up.
Storm damage roofing in Kansas City covers more than the shingles. Gutters, flashing, vents, siding and the roof deck underneath can all take a hit, and a good repair plan accounts for every one of them. You deserve a contractor who explains the whole job up front and finishes it properly.
APC Roofing is a GAF Certified contractor, in business since 2017, licensed and insured, with an office in Shawnee, Kansas. We repair and replace storm-damaged roofs across the metro, including Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, Independence and Blue Springs. Your inspection is free.
What storm damage roofing in Kansas City includes
A storm rarely damages just one thing. When we inspect a storm-hit home, we look at:
- Shingles or roofing panels. Hail bruises, cracks, missing granules, lifted or creased tabs, torn-off sections.
- Flashing and roof metal. Step flashing, chimney flashing, drip edge and vent caps that got dented or pulled loose.
- Pipe boots and vents. Rubber boots split by hail, metal vents dented shut.
- The roof deck. Soft or cracked boards under impact points or fallen limbs, checked from the attic side.
- Gutters, fascia and siding. Dented or sagging gutters, cracked siding and damaged trim along the roof edge.
All of it gets photographed and written down, so your estimate covers the full picture instead of the one spot you noticed.
Repair, partial replacement or a new roof?
Not every storm-damaged roof needs to come off. The right answer depends on how much of the roof was hit and how old it was before the storm.
A repair fits when damage is limited to one area: a few wind-torn shingles near a corner, a cracked pipe boot, a section of loose flashing. Our wind damage roof repair page covers that kind of work.
Replacing one slope can make sense when damage is heavy on one side of the house and light everywhere else. The catch is matching. Older shingles fade and some lines get discontinued, so a new slope can look different from the rest of the roof. We’ll show you how close the match will be before you decide.
A full replacement is usually the right call when hail has bruised shingles on every slope, or when an older roof took enough damage that repairs won’t hold. Our hail damage roof repair page explains how widespread hail damage is judged.
How a storm damage roof replacement goes
If replacement is the answer, here’s what a proper storm replacement involves, so you know what to expect from any roofer:
- The old roof comes off down to the deck, so nothing hidden gets covered over.
- Damaged or soft decking gets replaced.
- Ice and water barrier goes on at the eaves, valleys and around chimneys, with synthetic underlayment on the rest.
- New drip edge, flashing and pipe boots go in, rather than reusing storm-dented metal.
- The new shingles or metal go on, nailed to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- The site gets cleaned up.
Many residential projects are finished in a single day. Bigger or more complex roofs take longer, and you’ll get a realistic timeline with your estimate.
This is also a good time to think about what goes back on. If hail is what took your old roof, it’s worth asking about impact-rated shingles or a metal roof. We’ll lay out the trade-offs honestly.
Storm damage and your insurance claim
Most storm damage roofing in the Kansas City metro involves an insurance claim. You file the claim with your insurance company and pay your deductible. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos, write a detailed estimate and work with your adjuster. You stay in charge of the claim. Our insurance roof claims page explains each step, and it applies the same in Overland Park as in Lee’s Summit.
Be wary of anyone who offers to waive or cover your deductible, or who asks you to sign over your claim on the spot.
What good storm work looks like afterward
When the job is done, walk around the house and look over the finished photos. You should see:
- Shingle rows that lie flat, with no humps or exposed nail heads
- New flashing along walls and around the chimney, not old metal smeared with sealant
- New boots around every pipe
- Clean gutters and a yard free of nails and debris
Keep the final photos and paperwork with your home records. They help with future insurance questions and if you ever sell the house.

Storm damage roofing questions
Can you fix storm damage before my claim is settled?
Small repairs to stop a leak can often happen right away, and you should take photos first. For bigger work, most homeowners wait until the insurer has inspected. Check with your insurance company.
Will a storm-damaged roof always leak?
Not right away. Bruised or unsealed shingles can hold for months before water gets through, which is why an inspection matters even when the ceiling is dry.
Do you replace gutters and siding damaged in the same storm?
Yes. We install gutters and replace siding, fascia and soffits, so the whole exterior can be handled together.
Do you serve Overland Park and the rest of Johnson County?
Yes, along with the Missouri side of the metro.
