Roof Glossary

My name is Richard Tooley and I am the founder of KC ROOF CARE here in Kansas City. I have been in the roofing industry for a little over 20 years and have had the pleasure of working with many great clients in the Commercial, Industrial, and Residential sectors of the roofing industry. After about 16 years in the industry I began to notice that the quality of workmanship was dwindling away in the roofing industry; primarily because all of the competition began using all sub-contract labor. At KC ROOF CARE we never use sub-contractors for this reason. I then discovered that through my personal experience and through extensive research that 9 out of 10 roofs were installed wrong. Yes you heard me right over 90% of all roofs are not installed according to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) guidelines. This improper installation makes these roofs highly susceptible to wind damage, roof leaks and ultimately premature roof failure. I also discovered that over 2/3 of all roof failures are directly related to improper installation and that over 80% of all roofs are replaced prematurely.

As I investigated a little bit deeper I discovered that the average commercial building owners will spend over $127,500 on roofing in a lifetime. Did you know that roofing contractors are in the top 5 complaints with the Better Business Bureau? I also discovered that only 1 out of 10 roofing companies will be in business longer than 5 years.

It was at that moment I decided to switch my focus and spend my time and energy on helping building owners to repair, maintain, and restore the existing roofing systems that they already own. I realized that I could help lower their roofing related expenses by up to 50%.

I am fortunate enough to have a great staff behind me that has helped make KC ROOF CARE the successful roofing company that we are today. We have the privilege to help hundreds of clients every year with their roof repairs, maintenance, and restoration. We know that we have saved our clients $1000’s of dollars in roof replacement costs. We never pressure our clients to replace their roof because most roofing systems can be repaired, maintained, and restored. With a proper Roof Maintenance Program (RMP) we can potentially save the average building owner more than $63,000 over their lifetime.

So give us a call TODAY and let us save you from an almost certain premature roof failure. Roof Maintenance can be compared to buying a car and changing the oil and putting gas in it. You wouldn’t buy a car and never maintain it would you! Your roof is the same way. Most roof manufacturer’s warranties REQUIRE PLANNED ROOF MAINTENANCE and routine roof inspections to for the warranty to remain valid.
