Quick answers about how Roof Repair Wichita works. For questions about a specific job, the provider you are connected with is the right person to ask.
How the service works
Is Roof Repair Wichita a contractor?
No. Roof Repair Wichita is a no-cost referral service. We connect you with an independent local roofing contractor, and that business does the work, gives the estimate, and is responsible for its own registration, permits, insurance, and workmanship.
How much does it cost to use this service?
Nothing. Using the website and submitting a request cost you nothing, and you are never obligated to hire anyone. Roofers support the service. See our referral disclosure for details.
How many roofers will contact me?
We share your request with one independent local roofer who serves your area.
Which areas do you cover?
Wichita and nearby communities, including Derby, Haysville, Maize, Park City, Bel Aire, Goddard, Valley Center, Clearwater, Mulvane, Andover, Augusta, Rose Hill, El Dorado, Newton, and Eastborough.
How do I check a roofer?
Search the Kansas Attorney General's roofing registration directory, confirm local permit requirements with your city or MABCD, ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation, and get a written contract.
Roof damage and insurance
Should I go on the roof to look for damage?
No. Storm-damaged roofs are slippery and can have weak spots. Photograph what you can from the ground and let a roofer with safety gear inspect.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Usually yes for a re-roof. In Wichita and unincorporated Sedgwick County, permits go through MABCD. Other cities have their own offices. The roofer typically pulls the permit.
What is a wind and hail deductible?
Many Kansas policies have a separate deductible for wind and hail, sometimes a percentage of dwelling coverage. Find it on your declarations page.
Can a roofer pay my deductible?
Offering to cover a deductible by inflating the insurance bill can be insurance fraud. Treat it as a red flag and ask your insurer.
Do Class 4 shingles lower insurance premiums?
Some insurers offer premium credits for impact-resistant roofs. Ask yours what it offers and what proof it needs.
Where can I get help with an insurance problem?
Start with your agent and a written request to your insurer. The Kansas Insurance Department accepts consumer complaints about insurers.
