BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
Wichita sits near the center of what's often called hail alley, and it's common for a single spring or summer storm to hammer shingles across the entire metro. High wind that seems to come out of nowhere is just as common a culprit.

South-central Kansas takes some of the most active severe weather in North America. Most roofs here will never see a tornado, but nearly all of them see the storms that produce one — violent straight-line outflow winds, and hail large enough to be genuinely destructive. A roof in Sedgwick County is a piece of storm equipment, and the difference between a roof that survives a bad season and one that does not is almost entirely in how it was fastened.
Between storms, this region delivers relentless summer heat and unobstructed UV exposure. Sunlight is what actually ages an asphalt shingle — it drives the volatile oils out of the asphalt until the shingle turns brittle and loses the flexibility it needs to seal and stay sealed. A sun-baked roof then meets a hailstorm with no give left in it, which is why identical roofs of identical age can come out of the same storm in completely different condition.
After a significant hail event, out-of-state crews arrive in volume and a good number of them will not be reachable when the warranty matters. Before signing anything, ask who the legal entity on the contract is, where it is registered, and who answers that number in five years. A contractor who cannot answer all three plainly is not one to put on a roof you have to live under.
Most storm roofs here are paid by the homeowner policy rather than out of pocket, and the claim turns on documentation. We photograph the damage, meet your adjuster on site so both sides are looking at the same evidence, and walk the paperwork through with you. Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics.

UV exposure. Kansas sun drives the oils out of asphalt shingles until they turn brittle, and a brittle shingle has no give left when hail hits it.

Wichita sits right in the heart of hail alley. Spring and early-summer supercells form over the Plains and drop hail across Sedgwick County year after year, often with high winds behind them. Plenty of Wichita homeowners have replaced a roof more than once because of hail.
Even on calm days, Kansas wind is constant, and it works at loose shingle tabs, ridge caps and flashing until something gives. Add hot summers and cold, icy winters and Wichita roofs age faster than they would almost anywhere else.
We serve Wichita and the surrounding Sedgwick, Butler and Harvey county communities.
Wichita housing runs from older homes in College Hill, Riverside and Delano to big subdivisions in Derby, Andover, Maize and Goddard. Many of those newer homes have had their original roofs replaced after hail, sometimes more than once.
Every Wichita replacement includes a full tear-off, decking repair, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, drip edge and ventilation, installed by certified crews and backed by our lifetime warranty. Because hail is so common here, many homeowners ask us to price impact-resistant shingles alongside a standard line.
Wind repairs are a constant in Wichita: missing shingles, peeled ridge caps and loose flashing. We tarp the roof the same day if water is getting in and come back for a permanent fix.
Hail damage often hides under the granules. We get on the roof, mark and photograph every hit, check vents, gutters and siding, and give you a straight answer on whether you have a claim.
Wichita roof prices depend on roof size and pitch, tear-off layers, decking repairs, flashing work and the shingle you choose — impact-resistant shingles cost more up front. Right after a big hail storm, crew and material demand spikes across the area.
