Residential Storm Damage Roof Repair in South Central Kansas
Kansas and Oklahoma are in the heart of Tornado Alley. Spring brings unpredictable severe weather — hailstorms that can dent siding and shred roofs, straight-line winds that tear off shingles, heavy rains that expose leaks, and sometimes tornadoes that cause catastrophic damage. When storms strike, your roof is often one of the first casualties.
​
Hartley Roofing specializes in residential storm damage repair throughout south central Kansas and North Central Oklahoma. We respond quickly after the storm, thoroughly assess damage, work with insurance companies, and restore your home to pre-storm condition. Over 90% of our business comes from insurance claims, so we know the process inside and out.
Types of Storm Damage We Repair
01
Hail Damage
Spring hail in Kansas and Oklahoma can be severe. Hail dents shingles, cracks them, and exposes the underlying roof structure to water infiltration. We identify hail damage, document it for insurance, and repair your roof.
03
Tornado Damage
Tornadoes cause catastrophic damage. We’ve seen roofs partially or completely removed after a twister. We assist with emergency response, tarping, and long-term restoration.
05
Hail & Wind Combinations
Severe storms often include both hail and high winds, compounding damage. We assess the complete impact and ensure all damage is addressed in insurance claims and repairs.
02
Wind Damage
High winds lift shingles, separate seams, bend flashing, and can even remove shingles. We assess wind damage, provide detailed documentation, and perform repairs covered by insurance.
04
Heavy Rain Damage
Heavy rain reveals existing vulnerabilities and can cause interior water damage if it gets past your roof. We assess rain damage and make necessary repairs.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Step 1: Emergency Response When you call after a storm, we prioritize your situation. For immediate threats (exposed roof deck, active leaking), we can arrange same-day emergency roof tarping to protect your home from further water damage.
Step 2: Thorough Damage Assessment We conduct a comprehensive inspection, document all damage with photos and detailed notes, and create a detailed scope of work and estimate.
Step 3: Insurance Claim Management We communicate with your insurance adjuster, submit our detailed estimate, and work with the adjuster to ensure all damage is covered. We advocate for your interests throughout the claims process.
Step 4: Comprehensive Repair After we obtain insurance approval, it’s time for our crew to repair or replace all damaged roofing. We don’t just patch visible damage — we address all problems identified in our assessment and the insurance adjuster’s report.
Step 5: Quality Assurance We inspect all repairs, ensure they meet manufacturer specifications, and verify that your roof is restored to its pre-storm condition.

Understanding Kansas Storm Season
-
Spring (March to May) Spring brings the most severe weather to south central Kansas and the surrounding areas. Hailstorms and tornadoes are most common during spring. This is typically when we’re busiest with claims work.
-
Summer (June to August) Summer storms can be severe as well, featuring hail, heavy rain, and occasional tornadoes. Straight-line winds (“derechos”) can cause significant damage.
-
Fall & Winter While less common, ice storms, heavy snow, and winter winds can also cause roof damage.
-
After any significant weather event, we recommend a roof inspection, even if you don’t see obvious damage. Hail damage, in particular, can be subtle, like small cracks in shingles that aren’t immediately visible, but will eventually lead to leaking

After a storm:
-
Take photos and video of all visible damage

Document any water entry or interior damage
-
Call Hartley Roofing for an assessment and documentation
