Roofing in Manhattan

Roof replacement and repair in Manhattan.

Manhattan is home to Kansas State University and sits next to Fort Riley and the Flint Hills. The city has older homes near Aggieville and downtown, student rentals, and newer family neighborhoods on the west side.

Many Manhattan homeowners are military families or university staff who move on a schedule. If you are selling, a roof inspection before you list can prevent surprises during the buyer's inspection.

Storms that cross the Flint Hills bring strong wind and hail to Manhattan. We document storm damage with photos, help you through the insurance claim, and install shingles rated for high wind.

Local roof notes

What we see on roofs in Manhattan.

  • Flint Hills wind

    Manhattan sits at the edge of the Flint Hills, where storms bring strong wind. Correct nailing and sealed shingles keep the roof on.

  • Selling or moving

    Military and university moves happen on a schedule. A pre-listing roof inspection gives you time to fix problems before a buyer finds them.

  • Rentals near campus

    We repair and replace rental roofs near K-State and can send photos to owners who live elsewhere.

Pricing

What sets the price.

The price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers we tear off, any decking repairs, and the material you choose. We give you a written price after a free inspection.

What changes the price

  • The size of the roof, measured in squares (100 square feet each)
  • How steep the roof is
  • How many layers of old shingles we tear off
  • How much decking needs to be replaced
  • The material you choose
  • Valleys, chimneys, skylights, and other details

“From beginning to end, our experience with Freestate Roofing has been terrific. When they were done, our yard was cleaner than when they started. So far we haven't found even one nail! The price was lower than the two other quotes we received.”

We check the City of Manhattan requirements for your address and pull any required permit before work starts. Homes outside city limits may fall under Riley County.
