Debris leaks that we fix

Buildup of twigs, leaves or pine needles can trap water against the roof allowing water to soak in by capillary action. Itʼs vitally important to keep the roof clear so water can run off quickly. Cutting overhanging tree branches will make it easier to keep your roof clear of problems and potential leaks.

Gutter Backup

Gutters that are clogged with leaves or other material can slow the water flow off the roof, giving it time to soak through to the wood under the roofing material. Gutter covers can help keep gutters clear of debris to help ensure that water flows freely and quickly off the roof.

Roof Vent leaks that we correct and prevent

Itʼs important for all vents and pipes that penetrate through your roof are sealed properly with quality products to prevent leaks. Inspect the gaskets around vent pipes for cracks or gaps and check for missing nails. Plastic vents may crack after years of exposure to the weather.

Holes can cause leaks

Holes remaining after the removal of a TV antenna or some other rooftop installation can draw water into the house. Inspect the roof for holes and seal any that you discover.

Slope can cause leaks

If your roof slope is too shallow, wind could lift shingles and drive rain under the shingle creating leaks in your residential roof or you large commercial roof. Roof slope, or pitch, is measured as a ratio of its vertical rise, in inches, over a horizontal distance of 12 inches. The International Building Code stipulates that the roof slope must be at least 2:12 for installation of asphalt shingles. Missing or Damaged Shingles leaks that we fix Strong winds can tear or rip shingles from the roof exposing areas you canʼt see.

Flashing leaks that we fix and prevent

Metal roof flashing seals roof transitions where large amounts of water pour down or where unwanted absorption can occur. Flashing is placed around likely areas for leaks: where the roof joins a dormer, where a chimney penetrates the roof and around the edges of skylights. Flashing sections can slide or move out of proper alinement if nails are missing and caulk has become dry, cracking over time.

Age leaks that we service

Even the best roofing materials deteriorate over time and become and can cause problems with your residential or commercial roof. Temperature changes and
extreme weather conditions may cause roofing materials to become hard and crack with age and exposure to direct sunlight may melt the tar that seals shingles together.

Ridge Cap leaks that we prevent and fix

The ridge cap covers the gap at the peak of a roof where the two slopes meet. Contractors who use rope and harness systems without protecting the ridge cap with temporary covering can cause holes in the roof material, allowing water from rain to enter.

Your roof can make up more than half of your homes exterior, so it should complement your home's style and exterior color scheme. As you browse through your many shingle choices, think about how the look of your new roof could improve the upon the roof you have now. 

Should you choose a different color?

Consider the look of your home's exterior.  A new color could bring your whole look together.

The color of the roof should coordinate with all your exterior elements: paint, siding, brick, or stone etc.

Do you need more dimension?

If your home is monochromatic think about adding shingles that appear thicker or give your roof a rich textured look.  

Homes that already have detailed exteriors a muted softer shingle may be more appropriate.

 In 2005 Midwest Roofing Services, your Wichita roofing company, relocated its office to 2209 West Harry. Recently, our home office has been transformed into a more comfortable new atmosphere for our clients and employees by a local artist Linnette Lee of Fresh Paint.  Fresh Paint came into the office to help give us ideas on how we can make our home office more comfortable and stylish for our clients and our employees. Since Midwest Roofing Services is a family business we wanted our clients to feel like part of our family when you come into visit. Fresh Paint provided us with several sample boards of different faux finishing techniques to help us make our decision. In the end our front entry was transformed and given a warm glaze finish with a burnt orange accent wall of  a luster texture to compliment our our sign for Midwest Roofing Services in the entry.  We then re situated our front desk for our always smiling receptionist Nicole Zahner to sit and welcome our clients as they come in. Two leather chairs  were then added for our  clients to help them feel more comfortable and at home while visiting with us.  We would like to give a Special Thanks to the excellent service Linnette Lee of Fresh Paint offered us in helping us create this new at home feeling for our business.  If you are interested in a faux finishes or murals, we recommend you check out Fresh Paints  great website at www.freshpaintartist.com and see what all her business has to offer you.
