hail risk · April – June
Kansas City, MO storm damage roofing guide
Kansas City straddles the Missouri–Kansas line and neither state has a matching statute, so the case for a full slope rests on repairability and shingle availability rather than on law. Both sides of the metro build to the 2018 IRC. Hail runs April through June, and discontinued shingle lines in the older Johnson County and Northland housing stock are frequently what decides repair versus replace.
