Roof Replacement Is Our Specialty

We tear the old roof off down to the deck and haul it away. The new one goes on over ice and water shield and underlayment, with new flashing and the ventilation corrected where it falls short, and we inspect the finished roof before we call the job done.

For many Kansas City homes we recommend Malarkey Vista AR shingles. Your written quote will explain all the details so you can feel 100% confident in how you proceed.

  • Complete tear-off and disposal of the old roof
  • Ice and water shield and underlayment
  • New flashing, with ventilation corrected where needed
  • Final inspection for performance and warranty compliance

When It Isn’t a Full Replacement

Hail, a leak or an insurance claim. The same team handles those too, and gives you the same straight answer.

    Hail and Wind Damage Inspections

    After a storm we check the shingles, flashing, vents and gutters and photograph what we find. Whether a claim is worth opening depends on your deductible and your policy, and we tell you plainly what the roof shows.

    Roof Repairs and Leaks

    Leaks, lifted or missing shingles, failed flashing. We trace the leak to its cause, fix it, and match the repair to the rest of the roof as closely as the materials allow.

    Insurance Claim Documentation

Why We Recommend Malarkey Vista AR for Your Roof

When hail comes through Kansas City, the shingle on your roof matters. Vista AR carries the highest impact rating a shingle can earn, and its rubberized asphalt holds up through summer heat and winter cold.

Inside the Shingle

Four Layers, From the Surface Down

Copper and smog-reducing granules face the weather. Under them, NEX® rubberized asphalt coats both sides of a fiberglass mat.

  • Class 4 Impact Rating

    Vista AR is rated UL 2218 Class 4 for impact, the top of the scale. It also carries a Class A fire rating and meets IBHS FORTIFIED Roof requirements.

  • Rubberized Asphalt

    Malarkey's NEX® polymer modified asphalt blends rubber and plastic polymers into the shingle's core. Malarkey reports up to 25% greater tear strength and 65% greater granule retention than the ASTM D3462 industry standard.

  • Algae-Resistant Copper Granules

    3M™ copper granules help keep blue-green algae from leaving black streaks down the roof. Malarkey backs Vista AR with a 25-year algae warranty.

  • Smog-Reducing Granules

    3M™ smog-reducing granules break down nitrogen dioxide in sunlight, and rain rinses the residue off. Malarkey rates an average roof at about two trees’ worth.

  • Recycled Rubber and Plastic

    Polymers from old tires and plastic bags go into the asphalt: about 5 tires and 3,200 bags for an average roof, by Malarkey’s count.

  • The Upgrade Your Roof Deserves

    We’ll tell you during your free inspection whether Vista AR makes sense for your roof and budget, or if a standard shingle is the right choice for you.

Two Warranties That Work Together

Our 25-year workmanship warranty covers how your roof is installed. On a Malarkey roof, Malarkey’s limited warranty covers the shingles themselves. Together they back both the work and the materials, each by the company responsible for it. Your quote names the manufacturer warranty that applies.

Covers our installation work for 25 years. The same workmanship warranty applies to our roofing and to our solar installations. Ask for the written warranty with your quote.

This is a limited warranty with exclusions. It does not cover hail or other severe-weather damage, and it does not pay for tear-off or disposal.

Have Solar Panels?

We Remove and Reinstall Your Panels

You don’t have to coordinate a separate solar company; our NABCEP‑certified technicians handle the panels so the roofing crew can focus on the roof. We remove your system before the roof work, then reinstall it and test it before we leave. Our 25-year workmanship warranty covers that solar work too.

  • Any Installer, Including Companies That Have Closed
  • New Flashing and Mounting Hardware
  • System Tested Before We Leave

Questions Kansas City Homeowners Ask

Is the Roof Inspection Really Free?

Yes. There’s no charge and no obligation to hire us.

What Should I Do After a Hailstorm?

Stay off the roof and book an inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, vents and gutters, photograph the damage, and tell you whether it looks worth a claim against your deductible. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so.

Will Insurance Pay for My New Roof?

That depends on your policy and the damage. We document what we find and communicate with your insurer during the claim, but your insurance company makes the coverage decision.

What Does Class 4 Mean on a Shingle?

Class 4 is the top rating under UL 2218, the standard impact test for roofing. Malarkey Vista AR is rated Class 4, the highest impact rating a shingle can earn.

Does Every Roof Get Class 4 Shingles?

No. Vista AR is an upgrade we recommend for many homes, not something every roof includes. Your quote names the exact shingle.

What Shingles Do You Install?

Our installers are Malarkey-certified, and we recommend Vista AR for many homes. We also install GAF Timberline HDZ. Your written quote names the exact shingle before any work starts.

Does Malarkey's Warranty Cover Hail Damage?

No. Malarkey's limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and excludes hail and other severe weather. Storm damage is a homeowners insurance matter, which is why the Class 4 rating and good documentation both matter.

Where Do You Work?

Across the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line, including Kansas City, Liberty, Independence, Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park, Olathe and Kansas City, Kansas. Our office is at 1321 Burlington St in Kansas City. Outside the metro? Call and ask.

    …we asked them to come out and check on a separate section of roof that was leaking thanks to another company's shoddy work. They were able to identify the problem and had their roofing team correct the issue and even color matched to the shingles on the rest of the roof.

    We also interacted with three other companies. HelioGreenTech was by far the best to work with. They were very honest, straightforward, and willing to work with our particular situation and did not apply pressure on us to make a decision with which we were not comfortable.

    While Helio Greentech was not the lowest total price, they were very competitive. You get what you pay for, and while i could have saved a thousand dollars going with the cheaper company, my initial interactions made it clear that i'd be paying for that money savings with my own time and effort.

  • Katie Shewmaker

    The entire project team has been great to work with, and they have really gone the extra mile to make sure things are done right. Huge thank you to Zac, Mitchell, Moses, and Kai. I have a very busy schedule, and this team has been flexible and all around just great.

    Helio removed my solar panel system from my roof so new shingles could be put on. They did a fantastic job putting everything back on the roof. Zac did an amazing job coordinating and communicating with me.

  • Jon Cohen

    They were very clear on the entire process from start to finish. They were here during parts of the install just to ensure everything was on track and going as planned. Any questions I had if they could not answer they got back to me quickly. I appreciate when someone does not know something that they admit it and follow up.

  • Pedro Corona
