From historic homes in Riverside and College Hill to World War II-era housing in the southeast and newer subdivisions at the edges of town, Roof Dr roofs Wichita homes of every age.
Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, with 397,532 people in the 2020 census, and the Sedgwick County seat. It earned the name Air Capital of the World in the 1920s and 1930s, when Beechcraft, Cessna and Stearman set up shop here. The city's housing reflects that history: the roof on a 1920s College Hill home has almost nothing in common with the roof on a 2015 subdivision house.
Older neighborhoods like Riverside, College Hill, Delano and Midtown tend to have steep roofs, board decking, chimneys and decades of patched flashing. Southeast Wichita still has some of the country's few remaining examples of government-built temporary housing from World War II, small homes that were never meant to last this long. Newer neighborhoods on the edges of the city have their own issue: builder-grade shingles reaching the end of their life all at once.
Roofing in Wichita is permitted and inspected through the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department (MABCD), which also licenses roofing contractors locally. The permit application asks for the contractor's Kansas roofer registration number and how many layers are coming off. If a roofer isn't licensed with MABCD and registered with the state, they shouldn't be on your roof. We handle the permit and inspection on every Wichita job.
Storm data shows 24 hail reports within 10 miles of Wichita in 2025 and 23 so far in 2026, including golf-ball-size hail near downtown on April 25. In a city this size, one neighborhood can get hammered while another a few miles away gets nothing, so your neighbor's roof isn't a reliable guide to yours.
