Roofing in Fairway, KS

Fairway is small, old for this metro, and heavily wooded. The houses are mostly late-forties through fifties, well built, and many have been carefully maintained and expanded over decades. Additions are common, which means roof planes tied into original planes, and those junctions carry the risk. A house that has had a sunroom or a second-floor addition put on has a roof with a seam in its history.

Where an addition met the original roof, the quality of the tie-in decides everything. A properly built transition has the new plane flashed into the old with step flashing woven into the courses and a counterflashing above it. A cheap one has the two planes butted and sealed. Sealant fails within a few seasons and the leak that follows shows up in the ceiling below the junction. On Fairway houses we look at the addition seams first.

The tree cover here is the heaviest in the inner ring, and it cuts both ways. Shade slows sun aging considerably, so a Fairway roof can outlive an identical roof in an open subdivision. But the same canopy means constant debris in valleys, damp north slopes, and real limb risk in a windstorm. After any significant wind event in Fairway the first thing worth checking is whether anything came down on the roof.
