There are many Prairie Village roofers to choose from; a simple Google search turns up 10 names in 66202 zip code. Homeowners who have not found an established roofing company yet may feel in-the-dark about choosing the right company for the job.

Tips on Choosing The Right Roofer

• Find a company with a PERMANENT local address! Make sure the contractor vehicles have local plates!
• Ask to see PROOF of liability insurance. Everyone will say they have it, but a copy should be visible.
• Check Angie’s List, the BBB and review sites like Merchant Circle to see that the company has a good reputation.
• Don’t pay for the roofing job in full until all the work has been done to your satisfaction.

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!

Kansas City roofing professionals are gearing up for another spring hail season. Last year’s was quite a doozy! There wasn’t a single roof within the KC metro that didn’t receive some sort of damage. In fact, a single 2001 hail storm cost homeowners a grand sum of 2 Billion Dollars! In this blog, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to keep your investment protected, no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.

If you have roofing that is on-the-fritz or more than 10-12 years old, you will definitely incur some damage during the storm. Even if you have a 25-year warranty, most shingles made ten or fifteen years ago didn’t have the same protections that modern shingles can offer. Having a contractor look for areas of weakness now can shift you to the top of the priority list should you receive damage during a storm and can prevent a small indentation from becoming a huge hole if the shingle gets hit.

Common hail damage includes:

• Totally Destroyed Roofs
• Destroyed Gutters
• Holes in Shingles
• Ripped Up Shingle Edges
• Leaky Roofs

Roofing Companies Offer Impact-Resistant Shingles

If you haven’t already, consider upgrading to new impact-resistant shingles that are made to withstand 110-130 MPH winds. Here at Eclipse Roofing, we use CertainTeed premium shingles, which come with a Class 4 impact resistance, which is the industry’s highest standard for durable, hail-proof roofing materials. In fact, if you have your roofing done with Class 4 shingles, most insurance companies will give you a premium discount. You will love the amazing selection of colors, styles and shades these premium architectural shingles come in, too!

Roofing Advice: What To Do When Hail Strikes

1. When there is a major hail storm, we get a lot of calls from people who aren’t sure how well their roof held up. We do not recommend that anyone climb up on their roofs, as this can be very dangerous. We have all the proper insurances and safety training necessary to check on your roof safely. We do FREE estimates, so don’t hesitate to call! If you see baseball-sized hail on the news, it is very likely your roofing has dings, dents, scratches, flipped up edges and possibly even a leak. The good news is that 9 times out of 10, all we have to do is replace a couple rogue shingles that were damaged, which is not expensive at all.

2. Call your insurance company. Most of the time, hail damage is covered by your homeowners’ insurance, so you won’t have to pay a thing! We recommend having a roofing contractor and a claims adjuster come to your house. Often, your roofing is more likely to be covered when you have a roofing contractor there to verify the extent of the damage.

3. Be honest and up front with your KC roofing contractor. Many homeowners failed to pay their contractors after the storm damages last year. Maybe they used the insurance money to pay other bills or maybe their homes were going into foreclosure. The worst thing is when people try to avoid us. After all, we’re people too!  We understand if you are underwater. And we feel everyone deserves a sturdy roof over their heads, regardless of their current financial situation. All we ask is that you answer our calls and try to work out a reasonable payment arrangement with us.
