Malarkey Vista Brilliant Black Impact Resistant Reroof and Gutters in Lake Quivira
Hail Damage and Hidden Ventilation Issues on a Large Lake Quivira Home
A hail storm caused significant damage to both the roof and gutter system on this large Lake Quivira home, making a full replacement necessary. But the storm damage was only part of the story. An assessment of the existing system revealed underlying ventilation and condensation issues that had been quietly working against the roof's performance.
A roofing system installed without addressing those conditions would face premature wear regardless of shingle quality, because heat and moisture buildup in an improperly ventilated attic shortens the life of any roof installed above it. Simply replacing the damaged shingles without correcting the ventilation would have meant delivering a new roof with the same structural vulnerability as the old one.
Impact Resistant Reroof with Ventilation Correction and Full Insurance Management
Easton managed the full insurance process from start to finish, negotiating on the homeowners' behalf to get both the roof and gutter system approved for replacement within budget. The team also upgraded the homeowners to a higher shingle tier at no additional cost. The roof was installed with Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact resistant shingles in Brilliant Black, one of the strongest and most visually striking shingle options available for Kansas hail country.
To correct the ventilation and condensation issues identified during the assessment, Easton installed Lomanco continuous vented drip edge and ridge vent, creating proper airflow throughout the attic year round. Underlayment products were selected specifically to meet manufacturer specifications, ensuring the system qualifies for its lifetime warranty. The entire project was completed in four days.
A Lifetime Warranted Roof Built to Manufacturer Standards
The Lake Quivira home now has a 6,100 square foot Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact resistant roofing system installed to full manufacturer specifications and backed by a lifetime warranty. The Lomanco ventilation system corrects the condensation issues that had been building under the previous roof, meaning the new system will perform the way it was designed to for decades rather than years.
The upgraded shingle tier the homeowners received at no cost gives them a roof that performs and looks better than what the insurance settlement alone would have covered. With Easton handling every step of the insurance process, the homeowners walked away with a properly built, fully warranted roof and no out-of-pocket surprises.
