Residential Roof Restoration – Lee’s Summit
Case Study Details
Location: Lee’s Summit
Property Type: Residential – 2 Story Home and shed
Products Used: CertainTeed Landmark Shingles
Reason For Project: Aging Roof
Project Summary
Bill West Roofing was proud to have been trusted with a roof restoration project in Lee’s Summit. This 2-story home project included a roof restoration for a small shed affected by storm damage. Both the shed and the home were experiencing issues due to age, wear and tear, and environmental impacts.
The existing roofs of the home and outbuilding were showing signs of aging, such as worn shingles, past quick-fix repairs, missing shingles, and more, requiring in-depth roof repairs and restorations to ensure the homeowners continued to receive the protection they rely on.
