Roof Replacement in Merriam, KS

Done in a day or two by a HAAG-certified roofer who used to be a licensed insurance adjuster. Serving Merriam since 1999.

Your roof takes a beating in Merriam. We know — we've been replacing them across the Kansas City metro since 1999.

On March 13, 2024, the National Weather Service named Merriam outright in a destructive-storm warning: baseball-size hail, 60 mph gusts. Merriam is a town of 1940s-to-1970s ranches — modest, hardworking roofs, and exactly the kind that hail claims are made for. A lot of Merriam roofs took that hit and never got checked. Hail bruising doesn't always leak right away — it shows up a year or two later as the shingles give out. If yours has been through that storm or it's pushing 20-plus years, don't patch it. It's replacement time.

We work all through here. Homeowners across Merriam call us after every big storm — Sherwood Forest, Meyers Estates, Edelweiss, Hickory Hills, Fairview Park, Silverwood, Ralph W Mills, Macek Estates, Terry Dale, and Merriam View — along the I-35 corridor and through the postwar plats. When we say we know Merriam roofs, we mean your street.

Why Merriam homeowners call us first

We used to be the adjuster. Our owner is a HAAG-certified roofing inspector and a former licensed insurance adjuster. He knows exactly what insurance companies look for, what they hope you don't notice, and how to document damage so your full replacement gets paid fairly. Call us before the adjuster — we'll be on the roof when they show up.

One to two days, start to finish. Most full roof replacements are done in a single day, two at most. You don't live in a construction zone for a week.

We handle the insurance headache. Storm damage claim? We document everything, meet the adjuster on-site, and fight for the full replacement scope — not the lowball patch version.

Every trade, one company. Roofing is what we're known for, but we also do siding, windows, and gutters. One call, one crew, one warranty.

• Help with insurance claims — from documentation to adjuster meetings to supplements.
• Top-tier shingles — architectural shingles built for Midwest hail and wind, installed to manufacturer spec.
• Gutters, siding, and windows — if the storm got more than your roof, we handle all of it.

Merriam roof replacement FAQ

How much does a roof replacement cost in Merriam?

Most homes in Merriam run in the low-to-mid five figures depending on size, pitch, and shingle choice. The free inspection gives you an exact number — no guessing, no pressure.

Will my insurance cover it?

If the damage is from hail or wind, often yes — and the March 2024 baseball-size hail is exactly the kind of event that totals a postwar roof. That's where our adjuster background pays off: we document damage the way adjusters are trained to look at it, and we meet them on the roof.

How long does a roof replacement take?

One full day for most homes, two at most. You'll be surprised how fast a good crew moves.

Do you do small roof repairs?

We focus on full replacements and storm-claim roofs. If a repair will truly solve it, we'll say so — but we don't roll trucks across the metro for minor patch work.

How do I know if the 2024 hail damaged my roof?

You can't tell from the ground — hail bruising hides in the shingle mat and shows up later as premature failure. That's what the 8-point inspection is for: we photograph everything and show you exactly what the storm did, then tell you straight whether it's claim-worthy.
