With the hail storm that came through Leawood and southern Johnson County this passed spring your roof probably needs to be repaired or even replaced. Why do you ask? If you are noticing a lot of granuals coming out of your gutters during or after a rain or if you notice any wood shake shingles blown off or on the ground then your roof needs some help. If you are noticing granuals coming out of your gutter downspouts that means that your roof has been beat up by the hail and the integrity of the shingle will start to decrease in performance. What I mean by that is that your roof will not immediately show the effects of the hail damage but it will over the next couple years show signs of deteriotation and the life expectancy of the shingle could be cut in half. What we recommend is that you have an experienced Local contractor come out to inspect your roof and inform you of the steps you should take to get your roof back into shape. Once you get your direction the rest is down hill if you have a local contractor that you can trust and usually a word of mouth referral is a good place to start.
For the wood shake roofs that have the damaged shingles that have blown off, these roofs are a little more time sensitive because the shakes provides most of the protection from leaks into your home so you would want to repeat the above steps and contact your local contractor to help you. We are a local company and do offer inspections and roof repairs for homes in Leawood so give American Roofing & Renovations Inc. a call.
