Roof Replacement in Ottawa, KS
Done in a day or two by a HAAG-certified roofer who used to be a licensed insurance adjuster. Serving the Kansas City metro since 1999.
Your roof takes a beating in Ottawa. We know — we've been fixing them here since 1999.
On April 13, 2026, the National Weather Service confirmed an EF2 tornado tore straight through Ottawa — a 7.3-mile path from 3 miles southwest of town to 3 miles east, peak winds of 125 miles an hour, 3 people injured. A tornado doesn't have to hit your house directly to end your roof — debris, wind, and hail do plenty from a mile away. If your roof was up that evening and hasn't been checked since, it's worth a look.
We work all over Ottawa — the historic downtown district with its Victorian storefronts, the neighborhoods around Ottawa University at 10th and Cedar, the homes around Forest Park, the south side along S Main, and out by the Logan Street and K-68 corridors. If your roof is getting old or the April 2026 tornado got after it, don't wait — call us before the adjuster.

Why Ottawa 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 claim 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 scope — not the lowball 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.

Ottawa roof replacement FAQ
How much does a roof replacement cost in Ottawa?
Most homes in Ottawa run in the low-to-mid five figures depending on size, pitch, and shingle choice. The older homes near downtown and around the university tend to run simpler — and cheaper — than the bigger two-stories on the edges of town. 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. 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 repairs?
Plain answer: we focus on full roof replacements and storm-claim roofs — that's what we do best. If a repair will genuinely solve your problem, we'll tell you straight and won't push a replacement. But we don't roll trucks an hour and a half across the metro for minor patch work.
My roof is old, but I'm not sure it's storm damage. Is a claim worth trying?
That's exactly what the free inspection is for. Our owner is a former licensed insurance adjuster — he knows the difference between wear and storm damage, and he won't file a claim that won't pay. If there's damage, we'll document it and meet the adjuster on the roof. If there isn't, we'll tell you straight and quote the replacement.
