Residential Roofing in Kansas City, MO

The roof over your family is the biggest single part of your house, and you probably don’t think about it until something goes wrong. Then it’s a ceiling stain, a few shingles on the lawn or an inspector’s note in a home sale, and suddenly you’re looking into residential roofing in Kansas City and someone you can actually trust to do it.

Residential roofing in Kansas City starts with the house you have

Every home is a little different, and the right answer depends on the roof you’ve got, how old it is and how long you plan to stay. Here’s what we see most often on Kansas City houses.

Asphalt shingles

Most homes in the metro have them. Older houses often still have 3-tab shingles, which are flat and thin. Most newer roofs use architectural shingles, which are thicker, layered and better at staying put in a strong wind. If yours is a 3-tab roof that’s starting to fail, moving to architectural shingles is usually a solid upgrade. Impact-resistant shingles are another step up for hail. Our shingle roofing in Kansas City page compares them.

Metal

More homeowners here are choosing metal after one hail claim too many. Standing seam steel and stone-coated steel shingles both work on houses, shed snow well and handle wind.

Low-slope sections

A lot of Kansas City homes have a nearly flat roof somewhere, over a back porch, a sunroom or an addition. Shingles leak on those sections because water moves too slowly across them. They need a membrane such as TPO or EPDM instead. See flat roofing in Kansas City.

Tile

Clay and concrete tile are less common on Kansas City homes, but we repair and replace both.

The roof is only one part of keeping your home dry

Water doesn’t care which contractor is responsible for which part of the house. A roof can be in fine shape while water gets in somewhere nearby.

Gutters that overflow or pull away from the fascia dump water against the siding and foundation, and in winter they can help ice dams form. Rotted fascia boards and soffits let water and animals into the attic edge. Where a roof slope ends against a wall, a missing “kickout” flashing can send rain down behind the siding, where it rots the wall for years before anyone notices.

We look at all of that during an inspection, not just the shingles. We also install rain gutters and handle siding, fascia and soffits, so a problem that crosses from one to the other doesn’t fall through the cracks. Our gutters in Kansas City page has more.

Your attic matters as much as your shingles

The space under your roof affects how long the roof lasts. In a Kansas City summer, a poorly vented attic gets very hot and bakes the shingles from below. In winter, warm air leaking into the attic melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the eaves as ice dams.

Good residential roofing work looks at both: airflow in at the soffits and out near the ridge, and enough insulation on the attic floor to keep the house’s heat where it belongs. If your upstairs rooms are hard to cool or you get icicles every winter, mention it during your inspection.

Choosing colors and materials for your home

A few practical points to think about before you pick:

Darker shingles absorb more heat. Lighter colors can help a little with attic temperatures in summer.
If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, check whether colors or materials need approval before you sign anything.
If you’re likely to sell in the next few years, a neutral color that suits the house usually works best.
Ask your insurance agent whether an impact-resistant roof affects your premium.

Residential roofing questions from Kansas City homeowners

Do you work on homes on the Kansas side?

Yes. We work on homes across the Kansas City metro, in both Missouri and Kansas.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If the damage is limited and the rest of the roof is sound, repair it. If the shingles are brittle, granules are washing off and leaks keep moving around, replacing usually costs less over time. Our roof replacement in Kansas City page covers the signs.

Can I stay in my home while the roof is replaced?

Yes. It’s noisy for the day, so plan around naps and pets, and move cars out of the driveway.

A roof that lets you stop worrying

Small roof problems on a house have a way of spreading quietly. A bit of water at a flashing or a gutter soaks into wood you can’t see, and a simple fix grows.

Get it looked at, understand your options and make the call that’s right for your family. Then the next storm is just weather, the house stays dry and you know the work was done right. Your satisfaction is our reputation. Call 913-398-5020 to book your free inspection.

Isa Romero

Jose was referred to me by my mother to assist with my roofing needs. He was able to explain the process throughly and go to my home timely to inspect it. He made the initial process easy and was able to make me feel comfortable in submitting the claim.

Joe Montes

Great people and very professional. Michael Pagano was honest and upfront with me every step of the way, and I believe gave me a fair price. And he wasn’t pushy! Some of the other companies I got estimates from were either way overpriced with pushy salesmen, and another company I suppose hates money because they never showed up to even give me an estimate! I upgraded my 20 year old shingle roof to metal. I am pleased with the results. Would recommend!

Jeff Clark

Great experience. Charlie came out, found our leak and did a roof inspection. Pointed out some issues, but nothing to be worried about right now. Honest company. Will definitely call for any roof issues in the future.

Eli Bonilla

Thank you, Jose Irizarry! We are so glad to have had you inspect our roof for damages. Thank you for your honesty and for giving us peace of mind knowing that our roof is structurally sound. While we could not file a claim at this time, we will absolutely recommend you to our family and friends. Jose came to us highly recommended by a family member whom he assisted during their roof replacement.

I had a great experience working with APC Roofing, especially Jose Irizarry, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. Jose was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated how easy he made the process and how willing he was to answer my questions. Having Jose as my point person gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. I’m very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Jose Irizarry and APC Roofing to anyone looking for a professional and dependable roofing company.

Darren Poythress

Our great friends referred us to APC and gave us Jose Irizarry’s number. Jose responded quickly with his inspector Ian to our storm damage concerns. Upon arrival they jumped right into documenting damages and getting through the claims process with our insurance.

Vincent Hasenstaub has helped us every step of the way in the process of getting our new roof. He is very professional knowledgeable and cares about his customers. I would recommend using Vincent as a sales person because he has the best interest for his customers and he is an asset to his company.

Vincent was very professional and knowledgeable.

Jordan Hanson

Vincent answered every question I had about the roofing process and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was knowledgeable, patient, and professional from start to finish. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to make sure I understood what to expect throughout the entire process. From the initial inspection, working with the insurance company, all the way to the roof replacement itself. He was there every step of the way, kept me informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel simple and straightforward. That level of communication and customer service goes a long way with me. I highly recommend Vincent if you’re looking for someone you can trust.

Nancy heyboer

José Irizarry came one day to my door. He and Jesús inspected our roof and I told them my insurance denied a claim already. They helped me see that I couldn’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t give up and listened to him. Jose explained every process that was needed before and after approval. If in doubt give APC roofing a call and if you get Jose, he will help you out. They are for the homeowner. The process of putting on a roof is next. I’ll write a review on how that went after the job is done.
