Andover has rebuilt twice after major tornadoes and took 2-inch hail in August 2026. We help Butler County homeowners get storm damage documented and fixed right.
Andover barely existed as a city until 1957, when it incorporated with 166 residents. A 1968 annexation took it from about 500 people to 2,000, and it has grown steadily since, reaching 14,892 in the 2020 census. That means most Andover roofs sit on houses built from the 1970s on, and a large share have been replaced or rebuilt after storms.
The April 1991 F5 tornado killed 13 people and destroyed more than 300 homes here. On April 29, 2022, an EF3 tornado damaged more than 1,000 buildings across the county. Roofs from the 1991 rebuild are now more than 30 years old, and many 2022 replacements went on fast while crews worked through a backlog. If your roof dates to either rebuild, an inspection will tell you whether it was installed to hold up.
Storm-report data shows 22 hail reports within 10 miles of Andover in 2026, the most of any town we serve east of Wichita, topped by hen-egg-size hail (2 inches) on August 7. That followed 15 reports in 2025. Two heavy years in a row can leave damage from separate storms on the same roof, and insurers usually treat each storm date as its own claim.
When your roof is replaced, ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. They are tested to take a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet, and some insurers offer premium discounts for them. We'll quote standard and impact-resistant options side by side so you can see the cost difference before you decide.
