Roofing help for Basehor homeowners
Basehor is in Leavenworth County, Kansas, about 19 miles west of downtown Kansas City. It is home to about 7,230 residents.
Like the rest of the Kansas City metro, Basehor sees spring and summer thunderstorms that can bring hail, strong wind and heavy rain. Damage is not always visible from the ground, so a careful look at the roof, gutters, siding and doors helps you know where things stand.

Roof care for Basehor's 1990s and 2000s homes
Census estimates put the median year built for homes in Basehor at 2004, so about half of the homes here are more than 22 years old. Roofs installed when many of these homes were built are now 20 to 30 years old.
At that age, a planned replacement can make more sense than repeated repairs, but not always. We show you what we see so you can decide. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can talk through shingle color and style choices before you submit for approval.
About 60% of homes were built in 2000 or later, so Basehor also has a large share of newer homes, many still on their original roof.
On a typical inspection we look at:
- Original builder-installed shingles and their remaining life
- Hail and wind damage on all roof slopes
- Ridge and attic ventilation
- Flashing at walls, chimneys and dormers
- Gutters, downspouts and drainage on sloped lots
