There are more ways to get affordable roofing in Johnson County than doing it yourself. After all, roofing is sweaty, back-breaking, dangerous work. Rather than risk life and limb up on your roof, you can have a licensed, bonded and insured roofing crew assume the liability for you. By trusting a contractor with the work, you have a quality guarantee and you are assured that the manufacturer’s warranty is valid.

Here are a few ways you can find affordable Johnson County roofing…

1. Get Multiple Quotes.

You’d be surprised by how much a simple roofing quote may vary. That’s why it’s always wise to get at least 3 free estimates. As professional Johnson County roofers, we understand that giving free quotes is par for the course. Not every estimate turns into business, but we hope you’ll call us at 913-262-4700, compare apples to apples, and give us a shot.

2. Choose Affordable Materials.

There are two ways you may look at this point. On one hand, asphalt shingles are the cheapest type of material you can buy. It’s aesthetically pleasing and fairly durable, although the warranty is only good for 30 years max. By contrast, a metal or slate roof will last 50 years or more, although it costs more per piece and more for installation. So it all depends where you are in life. If you’re 70 years old, we don’t recommend splurging on slate, for example. Yet, if you’re in your twenties, just bought your home and plan to raise your family there over the decades, then it makes sense. Also consider the special light-colored shingles, which reflect UV light and lower your utility bills.

3. Get The Job Done Right.

It can get rather costly when you have to call in roofers to fix what previous roofers have done. We often find that we’re called to clean up a job that resulted in leaks or wound up half-finished. This is especially true of fly-by-night roofers who swoop into town after a storm to swindle people out of their money. Before you sign on the dotted line, check the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List, and the Attorney General’s office and make sure the company is truly legit.

Imagine if you just had a new roof put on a couple of years ago… only to find that you now have a leak because the company did not bother to check if the underlying plywood was still in-tact! Replacing a roof is a big investment, so it’s important to find a professional who can get it right the first time.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing roofing contractors in KC...

• Details: Pick a contractor who can detail the procedure of roof replacement for you. What will he look at?
• Payment: Choose someone who will not charge you until the roofing work has been completed.
• Professional: The best roofers are members of a professional roofing association or affiliation.
• The Basics: All contractors working on your home should be fully licensed and insured.
• References: KC roofing contractors should be able to show you photos of past work and offer references.
• High-Quality Materials: Most residential roofs are done with durable and affordable asphalt shingles.
• Warranty: Most shingles come with warranties ranging from 20 years to life, depending on the brand.
• Trash Disposal: Make sure your contractor plans to take the scraps to the junk yard for you.
• Leak-Proof: A good roofer uses tar paper, flashing, rubber membranes and ridge caps to prevent leaks.
• Color: You want a good selection of color choices to make the right decision for your home.
• Awards: Why not choose a company that won the Angie’s List “Super Service” Award?

A recent news story underscores the importance of finding the most QUALIFIED and EXPERIENCED roofers KC has to offer, not just the lowest bid. Firefighters battled a house fire at 2714 Askew in Kansas City Sunday afternoon. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the fire did result in approximately $25,000 in damages to the home and its contents. Officials said the fire was caused by a roofing contractor’s heat source placed too close to combustible materials.

Roofers KC Contractors Take Precautions In The Heat

It doesn’t take much to start a fire when the roofing materials are already heated up from the 90-degree weather we’ve been having. Our contractors are fully trained in how to deal with tools and materials in extreme heat. We also make sure our crews are protected during the hot weather. The recent fire occurred around 4:45 p.m., toward the end of a shift, after working outside all day. We give our crew members plenty of water and frequent breaks to avoid fatigue, sun stroke, or impaired decision making. We also rotate our crews so everyone is fresh. On occasion, we cut back on hours or halt jobs altogether if the heat is unbearable. You will never have to worry about liability, as we are fully licensed, bonded and insured.

The Best Roofers In KC Install Quality Materials.

We install shingles from top-of-the-line manufacturer, CertainTeed. We put fire-resistant asphalt architectural shingles on your roof that have heavy granulated top coats that will not easily combust into flames. We can also install the Landmark Solaris line of energy-efficient shingles if you’d like. They divert excess light and heat away from your home to lower your cooling bills in the summer.

Roofing contractors top the Better Business Bureau’s list of “15 Most Complained About Industries.” Unfortunately, anyone can open a roofing business, without meeting minimum standards for education or experience. Contractors may often operate across state lines, giving dissatisfied homeowners no legal recourse. GAF – one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of asphalt roofing shingles – seeks to remedy the situation by providing a comprehensive training program for KC roofing contractors who wish to install their high-quality shingles.

Founded in 1886, GAF is North America’s oldest and largest manufacturer of commercial and residential roofing products, including the widely popular Timberline Series – which now comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty when installed by Master Elite Contractors! Their shingles come in 14 different colors and have been top-rated by contractors, home builders, architects and roofing experts alike. The company is known for innovation – having developed the first energy-efficient asphalt shingle available in rich colors, ridge ventilation systems widely used by contractors today, the first shingles wind-resistant up to 150 M.P.H. and roofing “EverGuard Extreme TPO” membranes that possess advanced heat and UV protection.

GAF understands that their products are only as good as the installation, which is why they started the Certified Master Elite Contractor training program. To earn this distinction, Eclipse KC roofing contractors are committed to ongoing technical training through the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence. We’ve been pre-screened to ensure we have a known reputation in the community for high-quality roofing services, are fully licensed by the state to perform roofing work, and are able to provide proof of updated insurance. To maintain this certification, our roof contractors must adhere to a list of particular quality standards and pass GAF roof inspections. You, as the homeowner, will also receive surveys after registering your warranty to ensure the highest quality standards are being met.

Eclipse Roofing was started by Jeff Pendergraft in 2003. Prior to starting his own business, he had spent six years working for other Kansas City area roofing companies. While he learned the tools of the trade, he knew he could offer better customer service than people were used to receiving. Eclipse Roofing is now the latest company to receive the honorable “Master Elite Contractor” status with GAF.

“We feel the GAF standards mirror the average homeowner’s expectation for their roofing contractors,” explains Jeff Pendergraft. “However, the fact that only 3 percent of the nation’s roofing contractors bother to go through the screening and educational program shows that we are unique among our competitors.”

Pendergraft adds, “We’ve always gotten by on very little advertising due to the positive response from our customers who refer their friends and family members to Eclipse Roofing without hesitation. Now, with the Master Elite Contractor distinction, we are able to offer our customers the very best extended warranties.”

Choosing the right Kansas City roofer can be a big decision.

Have You Heard KC Roofing Horror Stories?

Horror stories abound of unsuspecting homeowners who chose the wrong one! There are some very unsavory reviews on sites like Angie’s List and Yelp of a few competitors (who shall remain nameless.) “I’ve had nothing done by the company, but it sounds like they have an excuse for everything,” one homeowner said of a local roofing company. Another homeowner contacted a roofing company because she said she felt the job was not done well — and sure enough, five months later she had a water stain on her living room ceiling! “They ruined the siding and an awning on our rental house,” another person complained. In the worst cases, roofers could be injured and sue the homeowners if they are uninsured! Other times, a fly-by-night roofing company rolls into town, does a terrible job, and then cannot be contacted to fix the problem because they’ve left the state!
