Roof Repairs & Maintenance
Leak repair, storm and hail damage restoration, inspections, and skylight service.
A small leak never stays small. Missing shingles, cracked flashing, and clogged valleys let Kansas storms work their way into your decking, insulation, and ceilings. Murphy & Sons Roofing provides professional roof inspection, maintenance, and repair services throughout Kansas City, Wyandotte County, and Leavenworth County — and we've been fixing roofs the right way since 1948.

Gutters & Maintenance
Seamless gutter installation, repair, and maintenance to protect your home's foundation.
Gutters are easy to ignore — until they fail. When gutters clog, sag, or pull away from the fascia, rainwater goes exactly where you don't want it: under your shingles, behind your siding, and down into your foundation. Murphy & Sons Roofing installs, repairs, and maintains gutter systems for homes and businesses across the Kansas City area.

Signs that you might need a new roof include curling or missing shingles, leaks in your attic, visible sagging, excessive granules in your gutters, or a roof that's more than 20-25 years old. A professional roof inspection is the best way to know for sure. We provide free inspections at no obligation — call (913) 287-2116.
We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year — once in late spring after trees bloom and again in fall after leaves drop. If you have many overhanging trees, quarterly cleaning may be needed. Regular gutter maintenance prevents water damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Call (913) 287-2116 to schedule a gutter cleaning or maintenance service.
An ice dam forms when warm air from inside your home melts snow on the roof edge, but the water refreezes in the cold overhang, creating a barrier that traps water behind it. This water backs up under shingles and can leak into your home, damaging insulation and ceilings. Proper ventilation and adequate insulation help prevent ice dams. Contact (913) 287-2116 if you suspect ice dam damage.
You can choose to tear off the old roof and install new shingles from scratch, or reroof over an existing layer if building codes allow. New installation gives you a chance to improve ventilation and fix any underlying issues, while a reroof is faster and less expensive. We'll recommend the best approach for your home's situation — call (913) 287-2116 for a free estimate.
A typical residential roof replacement takes 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your home and weather conditions. Commercial projects may take longer. We coordinate the schedule with you upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. For an accurate timeline, contact (913) 287-2116 and describe your project.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 15-25 years, depending on climate, maintenance, and installation quality. Kansas weather — hail, UV sun, and temperature swings — can shorten roof life. Regular maintenance like gutter cleaning and prompt repairs extend longevity. We'll tell you honestly how much life your roof has left — call (913) 287-2116 for specifics.
Ridge vents run along the peak of your roof and allow hot air to escape; static vents are individual openings. Proper ventilation removes moisture and heat from your attic, extending shingle life, preventing ice dams, and keeping your home cooler. Most homes need ventilation, but the right type and amount depend on your attic design and climate. Call (913) 287-2116 to discuss your home's ventilation needs.
Roof costs vary by home size, material choice, and labor. A typical residential roof might range from a few thousand to ten thousand dollars or more. We offer financing through Acorn Finance to make it manageable. Get an accurate quote with a free, no-obligation inspection and written estimate — call (913) 287-2116.
