Roeland Park's housing stock

Roeland Park is one of the first suburbs that went up on the Kansas side, and much of it dates to the late forties and fifties. Small ranches and capes on hilly terrain, which is the detail that distinguishes it. The topography here means roofs sit at different elevations relative to each other and to the street, and access for a tear-off is genuinely harder on some of these lots than the house size would suggest.

What our inspectors find in Roeland Park

Because the housing is small and older, a lot of Roeland Park roofs have been done cheaply at some point. Overlays rather than tear-offs, three-tab where architectural would have been the better value, ridge caps cut from field shingle rather than proper cap product. None of that is a disaster, but it compounds. We inspect for layer count first here, because it changes the scope more than anything else we will find.

Roeland Park storms and insurance

The hill terrain also affects drainage. Water coming off a roof on a slope arrives somewhere with momentum, and on the lower houses that somewhere is often a neighbor's yard or a foundation wall. When we scope gutters here we look at where the water goes after it leaves the downspout, not just whether the gutter is intact.

Asked in Roeland Park

Will the crew be able to get equipment to my house on this lot?

Usually, and we look at access during the inspection rather than discovering it on the morning of the tear-off. Steep driveways and tight lots sometimes mean staging differently or working by hand, which we account for in the estimate up front.

Is architectural shingle worth the extra cost over three-tab?

In this market, generally yes. Architectural shingle is a laminated product with more material in it, better wind ratings, and typically a longer warranty. On a hail-prone metro the durability difference matters. We will price both and let you see the gap.

How many layers of shingles can be on a roof legally?

Two is the limit under code in this area. A third layer has to come off before a new roof goes on. Beyond the code question, layering hides the decking condition, adds dead load, and traps heat, all of which shorten the life of whatever goes on top.
