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.

What We Can Do…

• First, we will get up on a ladder and take a close look at your roof to inspect for damage.
• If possible, we will repair shingles that have been hit by hail, ripped up by wind, or washed out by rain.
• If necessary, we can reinforce weak structural beams that could be in danger of collapsing.
• We can install ice dams on your gutters to prevent build-up of snow and ice that puts weight on your home.
• We are also trained to put on a full new roof when it’s needed.
• If you would  like to file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance policy, we can help you get it approved quickly.

Our Materials…

We work with the very best roofing material manufacturers in the country. GAF/ELK is our preferred dealer. The company was first founded in 1888 and now boasts annual sales exceeding $3 million. They are renowned for their top-notch “Master Elite” training program, which is one of the toughest certifications to obtain. They were also the first company to offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on their products. Consumers like that there are many different styles, colors and price points to choose from and we are confident you’ll be satisfied with this product.

Our Service…

As you search for expert roofers in KC, you may come across several different certifying programs. One of the best out there is the program sanctioned by leading shingle manufacturer GAF/ELK. “Because of GAF’s stringent standards, only the top 3% of all roofing contractors have qualified as Master Elite™ contractors,” the company states on their website. In this blog, we’ll answer some common questions you may have in separating the amateurs from the pros!

What Does “Master Elite Certification” Mean?

To receive the “Master Elite” certification, KC roofers must…

• Be fully licensed in the state to perform roofing work.
• Be adequately insured, for consumer protection.
• Have a proven reputation for providing quality service.
• Commit to ongoing education and professional training.

Is My Roofer A Certified Expert?

Sure, anyone can SAY they are GAF/ELK Master Elite certified, but don’t just take their word for it! You can easily verify a roofer’s credentials on the GAF website, simply by typing in the contractor’s ID # or Phone #.

What Else Should I Look For?

In addition to the expertise and consumer protections provided by hiring a certified roofing contractor, you can also protect yourself by assessing reviews from members of the community. Angie’s List is considered to be one of the better websites because they verify the validity of each review before publishing. You can search for KC roofers using a free trial. (Note: Eclipse has been recognized by the Angie’s List community as a “Super Service” award winner!)

Roofing contractors in Kansas City MO can seem like a dime a dozen. Our city, in particular, has a high need for roofers due to the high winds and hail storms causing damage to area housing structures. Yet, the powerful storms also attract a number of opportunists who set up shop here, but may not necessarily be qualified or very good at roofing.

Here are a few of the factors that make Eclipse Roofing a good choice for your next job:

1. GAF/ELK Master Elite Certification

To become a factory-certified GAF Master Elite™ roofing contractor, we had to show that we are:

• Fully licensed by the state of MO to perform roofing work.
• Adequately insured for your protection
• Have a proven reputation for quality service in our community
• Are fully committed to ongoing professional training.

Did you know that only 3 PERCENT of roofing contractors have qualified as a “Master Elite” contractor?!

2. Exceptional Customer Service

We have not received a single complaint, which is why we have been given the Angie’s List “Super Service” award for 6 consecutive years — since Angie’s List first started giving out the award, in fact! As a small local company, we truly put our clients first. The vast majority of our business comes from personal referrals.

3. High Quality Materials

The best roofing companies do not try to under-bid competitors by using sub-par materials. We believe in doing a quality job RIGHT the first time. We guarantee our workmanship for 5 years, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. D.I.Y. jobs may be cheaper, but they also void the warranty — which can be 25 to 50 years on some types of roofing materials. We work with top-of-the-line shingle manufacturers like CertainTeed and GAF/ELK to bring you reliable products that will not fail!
