Roof Repair

Roof Repair by Advance Construction Pros in Kansas City, KS

Not every roof needs replacing. When the rest of the roof still has life in it, a repair done properly is the right answer, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Most leaks are not where the water shows up

Water runs before it drips. A stain on a bedroom ceiling is often several feet downhill from wherever it got in, which is why we get on the roof and look instead of quoting a leak off a photo.

The usual culprits on Kansas City homes are predictable: a cracked pipe boot, step flashing that got reused when the house was re-sided, a nail that has backed out and lifted a shingle, a valley cut too tight, or a chimney with no counter flashing at all.

Why homeowners here call us

You get an owner, not a salesman

This is a small family business, not a franchise. The person who quotes your job is on the job while it is happening.

An owner on every job

The person who quotes your work is on site while it happens, not a commissioned salesman who hands you off.

Licensed and insured

Licensed and insured for residential work on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the metro.

We know a storm claim

We document what is actually on the roof and tell you honestly whether it is a claim. If it is, we know how to talk to an adjuster.

Open 24 hours, seven days

Call or text at any hour. After hail the tarp matters more than the paperwork.

What we repair

  • Leaks at penetrations: pipe boots, vents, skylights and satellite mounts
  • Flashing: chimney and wall flashing, including new counter flashing where there never was any
  • Wind damage: missing, cracked, creased and blown off shingles
  • Valleys: re-cutting and re-flashing where water concentrates
  • Nail pops and exposed fasteners, sealed properly rather than smeared with tar
  • Ridge and hip cap replacement
  • Emergency tarping, so the inside of the house stops taking damage while the weather or the claim sorts itself out

When we will tell you to stop repairing

We would rather lose one repair than sell you three of them. If the shingles are brittle enough to snap when we lift them, if the granule loss is general across the slope instead of local to one spot, or if we have already been out for a different leak on the same roof this year, we will say so and price a roof replacement instead.

That is a slower way to run a roofing company and a better way to still be here in ten years.

Leaks do not keep business hours

We answer the phone at any hour, seven days a week. After a storm, getting a tarp on in the first few hours is what saves the drywall, the insulation and the flooring underneath, and that is usually worth far more than waiting for a weekday.

If the leak arrived with hail or high wind, look at storm and hail damage roof repair first, because it may be a claim rather than an out of pocket repair. Not sure either way? A free roof inspection settles it. Everything we do on roofs is listed under roofing services.
