Clearwater is a small city in southwest Sedgwick County, near the Ninnescah River, with in-town homes, some newer neighborhoods, and rural properties around it. Being a bit farther from Wichita can make it harder to get a roofer out quickly after a big storm, when demand is high.

Getting a roofer after a big storm

After major hail events across the metro, roofers can be booked for weeks. A few tips:

  • Request an inspection early, even if you don't see a leak.
  • Take thorough photos from the ground right after the storm.
  • If water is coming in, say so; temporary protection usually gets scheduled first.
  • Be patient rather than signing with the first stranger at the door.

Permits

Clearwater is its own city. Ask the City of Clearwater about roofing permits and contractor requirements. Homes outside city limits in unincorporated Sedgwick County generally go through MABCD.

Aging roofs and small leaks

Older homes in town often have shingles that have weathered many storms. Small leaks at vent pipes, chimneys, or valleys are common and can often be repaired. If shingles are brittle, curling, or losing granules everywhere, replacement may be the better use of money. See repair vs. replacement.

Hail-resistant options

If you're replacing anyway, ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and metal roofing. Some insurers offer premium credits for impact-resistant roofs; ask yours, and get the paperwork they'd need.

Staying safe

Don't climb onto a damaged or wet roof. Stay away from downed lines and call 911 and the utility. If a tree limb is on the roof, a tree service should remove it before a roofer assesses the damage.

Check your roofer

Look up the company in the Kansas Attorney General roofing registration directory, and ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation. If you have trouble with a roofer, the Kansas Attorney General consumer complaint form accepts complaints, and the Sedgwick County District Attorney's consumer protection staff may handle complaints where both parties are in the county.

Rural properties near town

Around Clearwater, many homes sit on acreages with metal shops, barns, or sheds. Exposed-fastener metal roofs on those buildings often leak at worn screws and seams before the panels themselves fail. Mention every structure in your request so the roofer can plan the visit, and see our metal roofing page for more on those roofs.
