Professional Roofers In Overland Park

More than 56,000 people are without power in Kansas and Missouri following a devastating winter storm that is slowly pummeling its way across the Midwest. Heavy rains followed by freezing and blizzards have created extremely heavy weights resting atop trees and roofs. In nearby Shawnee, the roof of a horse arena collapsed. Macy’s at Melcalf South in Overland Park was evacuated this morning, with fears that the roof may collapse. You can see some of the photos where roofs have collapsed in on themselves. We have been fielding calls left, right and center to deal with the massive number of homes damaged by the storm. While we are extremely busy, we have enough professional roofers in Overland Park to take your call.

Preventing Ice Dams at eaves and in gutters.

Below this post is a great article about preventing ice dams. I wanted to also talk about a couple of other ways you can deal with ice dams if the items in the previous post are not in your budget.

Roof de-icing kits can come in handy with roof areas that are chronic ice dam problems. There are certain cases where the architectural design of a roof does not allow for good positive drainage. Often times a complex roof design will leave you with areas where the snow and ice build-up becomes trapped. If this section of your roof faces North or East it can take days and sometimes weeks before it melts off. This is a good place to use a roof and gutter de-icing kit. This product is basically a heating chord or element that runs inside the gutter and in a zig-zag pattern on the roof. The only draw back is that you must have an outside electrical outlet to plug it into. I would not recommend this for the entire perimeter of your roof but it is effective in those problem areas. I have a couple of customers who have installed this product and have reported that it works great. I have included a couple of pictures that I have taken of the de-icing kits being sold at Home Depot and Lowes.
