You don’t think about your roof until something makes you. A hailstorm rolls through. A home inspector flags it while you’re selling. A stain appears over the bedroom closet, or the gutters start spilling over the front steps. Suddenly you need a roofer, and you’re not sure who to call, what’s fair, or how to tell a good recommendation from a sales pitch.
Residential roofing in Shawnee, KS shouldn’t feel like a test you didn’t study for. You deserve someone who explains what’s going on with your roof and lets you decide.
APC Roofing is GAF Certified, licensed and insured, with a Shawnee office and homes behind us since 2017. Inspections and estimates are free. Call 913-398-5020 to book yours.
Why Shawnee homeowners call us
Most calls start with one of a few situations:
- Hail or wind just came through and you want to know if the roof was damaged
- The roof is getting older and you’re wondering how much life it has left
- You’re buying or selling and an inspection turned something up
- There’s a leak, or a stain that wasn’t there before
- Gutters are overflowing, sagging or pulling away from the fascia
Whatever brought you here, the first step is the same: someone gets on the roof, looks closely and tells you what they see.
The residential roofing work we do
Repairs. Missing shingles, leaks, worn pipe boots, damaged flashing and storm damage. See roof repair in Shawnee.
Replacements. Full tear-off and new roof when repairs no longer make sense. See roof replacement in Shawnee.
Shingle roofs. Architectural shingles are the most common roof on homes around Kansas City, and impact-resistant options are available for hail country. Our shingle roofing page compares them.
Metal, tile and flat roofs. Standing seam and other metal systems, clay and concrete tile, and low-slope membranes for porches, additions and flat sections.
Gutters. Custom rain gutters sized and pitched to move water away from the house. See gutters in Shawnee.
Siding, fascia and soffits. The parts of the exterior that meet the roof, often damaged in the same storm.
How to tell how much life your roof has left
You can learn a lot from the ground with a pair of binoculars. Watch for shingles that curl at the edges or crack, bare spots where the granules have worn away, and granules piling up at the bottom of the downspouts. Dark streaks are usually algae and mostly cosmetic. Moss or a wavy, sagging roofline isn’t.
The attic tells the rest of the story. On a sunny day, look for daylight through the roof boards, water stains on the wood and damp or flattened insulation.
Paperwork helps too. If you know when the roof was installed and what shingle was used, you’ll have a good sense of where it is in its life. If you bought the house and don’t know, an inspection can give you a reasonable estimate.
Comparing roofing estimates in Shawnee
When more than one roofer gives you a price, the numbers are only part of it. A clear estimate should tell you:
- Whether the old roof is being torn off or covered over
- How rotted decking will be handled if it turns up
- What goes under the shingles, including ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys
- Whether flashing and pipe boots are new or reused
- Who pulls the permit, and how cleanup and haul-away are handled
Check that the contractor is licensed and insured, has a local address, and puts everything in writing. After big storms, be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign that day or offers to waive or cover your insurance deductible.
If a storm damaged your roof
Here’s how insurance works with us. You file your own claim and you pay your own deductible. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos, give you a written estimate and work with your adjuster. No pressure, and no promises we can’t keep.

Residential roofing questions from Shawnee homeowners
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and estimate are free, and you’re under no obligation to hire us.
Can you inspect a roof for a home sale?
Yes. We’ll look at the roof and tell you what we find, with photos, so you have something concrete to work from.
Do you work on gutters and siding too?
Yes. Gutters, siding, fascia and soffits are all part of what we do, and they often get damaged in the same storm as the roof.
What’s the best roof for a Shawnee home?
For most homes, architectural or impact-resistant shingles. Metal is worth a look if you plan to stay a long time. The right answer depends on your house, your budget and how long you’ll be there, and you’ll hear our honest take.
