Common roofs and code notes in Kansas
Asphalt shingles dominate, and hail is the main roof killer here, so many homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal. Cold winters mean the residential code calls for an ice barrier at the eaves in areas with a history of ice damming.[4] Permits come from your city or county building department.
Kansas rules homeowners should know
Roofers register with the Attorney General
