Overland Park Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Overland Park, KS for residential and commercial properties across the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro. There are three different pieces of paper a shingle contractor can wave at you, they mean three different things, and companies count on you not knowing the difference. Learn it once and you'll never be confused by a roofing pitch again.
The first is the Kansas registration certificate from the Attorney General. That's accountability: insurance on file, workers compensation, taxes clear. The second is the Johnson County Class DR license, which is competence, because it required passing an ICC exam. The third is a manufacturer certification, which is a commercial relationship between a shingle company and an installer. It's the one most heavily advertised and the only one of the three no government reviews.
Manufacturer certifications aren't worthless. They usually require some volume, some training, and a clean complaint record, and they're what qualifies you for the extended warranty tiers. But they're a marketing program, and a badge on a truck door is not the same as a number you can look up on a state website. One is earned, the other is issued.
Where this costs real money is the enhanced warranty upsell. Those extended coverages generally require a certified installer plus a specified system of that manufacturer's underlayment, starter, hip and ridge and ventilation. If a crew sells you the upgrade and then installs a competitor's starter strip, or isn't actually certified at the tier claimed, you paid for coverage you don't have and you find out in year twelve.
So ask for the certification in writing, at the tier claimed, and ask which components the warranty requires. A contractor who holds it will produce it in about thirty seconds. Then read what the warranty actually covers. Most of these tiers cover materials generously and workmanship narrowly, and workmanship is what fails. The extended coverage is worth having, but it isn't the reason to pick a contractor.
Our opinion on shingles is boring. A laminate architectural shingle rated Class H for wind is right for most Overland Park homes, and money that would go into a designer profile is better spent underneath. Synthetic underlayment instead of felt. Self-adhered membrane wherever a valley runs, and along the eave line. Six ring-shank nails in the nailing zone, not four driven wherever the gun landed. Nobody sees any of it. It's the difference between twenty years and twelve.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, step flashing woven course by course at sidewalls, counterflashing cut into chimney mortar joints — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Overland Park and nearby communities including Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Overland Park job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Overland Park Chooses Overland Park Roof Pros
- ✓We hand you both numbers up front. The Kansas Attorney General registration certificate and the Johnson County Class DR roofing license are on the first page of every estimate, so you can look us up before you talk price.
- ✓We pull the permit. Kansas writes a roofer's registration number onto every permit issued, which makes the permit the one record of your roof that a third party created and that outlives any company.
- ✓We take payment on delivery, not on signature. Abandoning a job after taking a deposit is named in Kansas statute as grounds for revoking a registration, and we would rather not ask you to trust us on that point.
- ✓We turn down coatings on shingle roofs. It is the fastest, least verifiable job in roofing and the one a departing crew most wants to sell, so we decline it and explain why.
