Roofing & roof repair in Kansas City: common questions
- Does roofing in Kansas City need a permit?
- It depends on the job. Like-for-like repairs often don't; replacements and new work (water heaters, new circuits, furnace or A/C swaps, reroofs) usually do. Permits in Kansas City are issued by the City of Kansas City, Missouri (City Planning & Development), and the partner doing the work pulls any permit the job needs.

- Water is coming through my ceiling in Kansas City. Can someone tarp the roof?
- Book roofing as an emergency and describe where the water is coming in. A partner can tarp or make a temporary repair so the permanent fix can be planned once the weather clears.
- Should I get my roof checked after a hail storm?
- If you see dented gutters, granules in the downspouts, or damaged shingles from the ground, it's worth a look. Book a routine roofing inspection and mention the storm date.
