As you search for expert roofers in KC, you may come across several different certifying programs. One of the best out there is the program sanctioned by leading shingle manufacturer GAF/ELK. “Because of GAF’s stringent standards, only the top 3% of all roofing contractors have qualified as Master Elite™ contractors,” the company states on their website. In this blog, we’ll answer some common questions you may have in separating the amateurs from the pros!

What Does “Master Elite Certification” Mean?

To receive the “Master Elite” certification, KC roofers must…

• Be fully licensed in the state to perform roofing work.
• Be adequately insured, for consumer protection.
• Have a proven reputation for providing quality service.
• Commit to ongoing education and professional training.

Is My Roofer A Certified Expert?

Sure, anyone can SAY they are GAF/ELK Master Elite certified, but don’t just take their word for it! You can easily verify a roofer’s credentials on the GAF website, simply by typing in the contractor’s ID # or Phone #.

What Else Should I Look For?

In addition to the expertise and consumer protections provided by hiring a certified roofing contractor, you can also protect yourself by assessing reviews from members of the community. Angie’s List is considered to be one of the better websites because they verify the validity of each review before publishing. You can search for KC roofers using a free trial. (Note: Eclipse has been recognized by the Angie’s List community as a “Super Service” award winner!)

Roofing contractors in Kansas City MO can seem like a dime a dozen. Our city, in particular, has a high need for roofers due to the high winds and hail storms causing damage to area housing structures. Yet, the powerful storms also attract a number of opportunists who set up shop here, but may not necessarily be qualified or very good at roofing.

Here are a few of the factors that make Eclipse Roofing a good choice for your next job:

1. GAF/ELK Master Elite Certification

To become a factory-certified GAF Master Elite™ roofing contractor, we had to show that we are:

• Fully licensed by the state of MO to perform roofing work.
• Adequately insured for your protection
• Have a proven reputation for quality service in our community
• Are fully committed to ongoing professional training.

Did you know that only 3 PERCENT of roofing contractors have qualified as a “Master Elite” contractor?!

2. Exceptional Customer Service

We have not received a single complaint, which is why we have been given the Angie’s List “Super Service” award for 6 consecutive years — since Angie’s List first started giving out the award, in fact! As a small local company, we truly put our clients first. The vast majority of our business comes from personal referrals.

3. High Quality Materials

The best roofing companies do not try to under-bid competitors by using sub-par materials. We believe in doing a quality job RIGHT the first time. We guarantee our workmanship for 5 years, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. D.I.Y. jobs may be cheaper, but they also void the warranty — which can be 25 to 50 years on some types of roofing materials. We work with top-of-the-line shingle manufacturers like CertainTeed and GAF/ELK to bring you reliable products that will not fail!

Olathe roof repair is one of the biggest concerns for local homeowners. Storm damage, water leaks, algae formation, mold, moisture build up and small animal infestation can become a major headache if not handled promptly and professionally. A clean roof in good repair is not only the best way of safeguarding your biggest investment, but it also offers better curb appeal. Unfortunately, all roofing contractors do not have the homeowner’s best interests at heart. Some have nestled into Olathe because there are so many storms and so much potential capital. Angie’s List offers the following advice for protecting yourself from getting ripped-off.
