Roof Repair and Replacement in Claycomo, MO

Roofing help for Claycomo homeowners

Claycomo is in Clay County, Missouri, about 10 miles northeast of downtown Kansas City. It is home to about 1,990 residents.

Like the rest of the Kansas City metro, Claycomo 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 Claycomo's mid-century homes

Census estimates put the median year built for homes in the village of Claycomo at 1964, so about half of the homes here are more than 62 years old. Most homes from the 1950s and early 1960s are well past their first roof, and many are on their second or third.

With homes this age, the quality of the last replacement matters as much as the age of the house. Overlays, patched decking and older vents are common, so we explain what we find before recommending a repair or a replacement.

About 50% of homes are townhomes, duplexes, apartments or other attached housing. When several homes share one roof line, repairs often need to be coordinated with an HOA or neighbors.

On a typical inspection we look at:

• Shingle layers and signs of an earlier overlay
• Attic ventilation, which many older homes were built without enough of
• Low-slope porch, carport or addition roofs
• Flashing where additions meet the original house
• Gutter slope and downspouts that carry water away from the foundation

Hiring a roofer in Missouri

Missouri does not issue a statewide roofing contractor license, so local rules carry more weight. Some cities require contractor licenses or permits for a roof replacement.

Before you hire anyone, including us, ask for proof of insurance and how permits will be handled for your project in Claycomo.
