We Don’t Just Fix Roofs -
We Teach You How to Protect Them.
We believe homeowners deserve the truth — not scare tactics. Learn how to protect your roof, your home, and your peace of mind with straight talk from Kansas City’s trusted local pros.
Know Your Roof Before the Storm Does.
A solid roof starts with awareness.
Small problems turn into big ones fast — especially in the Midwest, where hail, high winds, and heavy rain are part of the deal.
Here’s what to keep an eye on year-round:
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Discoloration, streaking, or soft spots
Shingle granules collecting in your gutters
Leaks or damp insulation in your attic
Sagging areas or exposed nail heads.
If your roof’s been hit by hail or wind, call us before you call your insurance company.
The Truth About Insurance Claims
Let’s be honest — dealing with insurance isn’t fun. But we do it every day, and we know how to make it smoother (and more successful) for homeowners.
Here’s What Most People Don’t Realize:
You don’t have to file a claim alone — we’ll help you do it right at your inspection if you want.
Always have your roofer present for the adjustment. Adjusters work for insurance companies. We work for you.
“Denied” doesn’t mean it’s over — many claims can be appealed and approved with proper documentation.
Roof Care Through the Seasons
SPRING
Check for winter damage, clogged gutters, and leaks from melting ice.
summer
Look for cracked shingles and soft spots caused by heat expansion.
FALL
Clean gutters and trim overhanging branches before winter storms.
WINTER
Watch for ice dams and attic condensation — small drips can lead to big repairs later.
professional roof inspections twice a year (spring and fall) are best practice and recommended
A quick check each season can add years to your roof’s life — and prevent those “surprise” leaks when you least expect them.
We’ll show you exactly what we see so you can make an informed call — not a pressured one.
Repair vs. Replace — How to Know the Difference
Here’s the truth: not every roof needs to be replaced.
Some can be repaired, others need a full tear-off.
We always base our recommendations on what makes sense for your home — not our sales goals.
In General:
If the damage is localized (like a few missing shingles or one section of flashing), a repair might do the job.
If the roof is older than 15–20 years, has widespread granule loss, or recurring leaks, replacement is the smarter long-term play.
Spotting Storm Chasers & Scare Tactics
After a big Kansas City storm, out-of-state contractors flood neighborhoods.
They knock, pressure, and promise “free roofs.” Then they vanish after the check clears.
Here's How To Protect Yourself:
Verify their local address and business license (Rebuilt Roofing is licensed in both KS & MO).
Ask for proof of insurance and references.
Be wary of anyone who demands money upfront before materials are delivered.
Choose a contractor who will actually be here a year from now if you need help.
Local. Licensed. Reliable. That’s the Rebuilt difference.
