What roofs are like in Excelsior Springs

Excelsior Springs is a historic resort town with housing that goes back well over a century in places. Steep pitches, complex older geometry, and a great deal of accumulated repair work. There is newer housing too, but the character of this market is old buildings that need someone who understands them.

Problems we find in Excelsior Springs

On housing this old, the decking is the question that decides the job. Board decking, sometimes with previous patch pieces of mismatched thickness, sometimes with sections that have been wet and dried repeatedly. You cannot quote it accurately from the outside. We inspect the attic side wherever we can get access, because that is where the real condition is visible.

Storm season in Excelsior Springs

Northeastern Clay County storms come through with the rest of the region. The difference here is the age of the building stock: older roofs on older structures fail at lower damage thresholds, and the accumulated deferred maintenance on some of these houses means a storm exposes problems that predate it.

What Excelsior Springs homeowners ask us

How much does deck replacement add to a roof?
It depends on how much of it is bad, which is why an honest estimate includes a stated per-sheet price for decking replaced rather than pretending none will be needed. Anyone who quotes an old roof with no decking allowance is either guessing or planning a change order.
Can old board decking be reused under a new roof?
Sometimes, if the boards are sound and the gaps are small. Often the better answer is to sheet over it with proper decking to create a continuous nailing surface. We tell you which one your house needs after inspecting, not before.
Do you work on historic properties?
Yes, and they take more time and more care. Steep unwalkable pitch, fragile old framing and intricate flashing are normal on these houses. We quote them on what they actually require.
