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

Under the Kansas Roofing Registration Act, most contractors must hold a roofing contractor registration from the Kansas Attorney General before doing residential or commercial roofing for a fee. [5]
