FAQs
Why should I consider a storm-ready roof and gutter upgrade in Jefferson City?
Central Missouri sits in a region prone to hail, high winds, and heavy rain. Upgrading to storm-ready materials reduces the risk of shingle blow-off, roof leaks, ice dams, and gutter overflow during severe weather. A reinforced system can lower future repair costs, protect interior finishes, and may even qualify you for insurance premium discounts.
What roofing and gutter materials do you install for maximum storm resistance?
For roofing, we primarily recommend Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal panels, or stone-coated steel—each tested to withstand 130 mph winds and 2-inch hail. Gutters are fabricated from heavy-gauge (.032" or .040") aluminum or 24-gauge steel with hidden screw-through hangers spaced every 24 inches, plus oversized 3 × 4 downspouts to move water away quickly. Optional leaf-screen systems keep channels clear during storms.
How long does a full roof and gutter replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Jefferson City are completed in 1–3 working days for the roof and one additional day for gutters, weather permitting. Complex rooflines, decking repairs, or custom metal work can extend the schedule, but we provide a written timeline before work begins and stay in constant communication if storms cause delays.
Will my homeowner’s insurance help pay for a storm-ready upgrade?
If your current roof or gutters were damaged by a recent covered event (hail, wind, falling debris), insurance typically pays for a like-kind replacement. You may choose to apply those funds toward upgraded, storm-resistant products; you only pay the difference plus your deductible. We supply detailed estimates, photos, and meet adjusters on site to streamline the claim.
Do you handle permits and city code requirements?
Yes. Jefferson City requires roofing permits and adherence to the 2018 International Residential Code with local amendments. We pull permits, schedule city inspections, and install ice-and-water shield, drip edge, and gutter discharge extensions to meet or exceed code. You receive all permit paperwork and final inspection approval for your records.
What maintenance is needed after installation?
Storm-ready systems are designed for low upkeep, but we advise an annual inspection each spring and after major storms. Clear small debris from roof valleys and check that downspouts remain unclogged. Avoid walking directly on the roof; instead, call us for free inspections during the warranty period. Gutters with leaf protection usually need only occasional rinsing from a garden hose.
