Downtown Shawnee
The older core along Johnson Drive and Nieman Road. Ranch homes and cottages here often have old roofs that were layered over instead of torn off.

Mid-century ranches to new builds out west.
We roof homes across Shawnee, from the older neighborhoods off Johnson Drive to the newer subdivisions near K-7. Shawnee is about 30 minutes from our Lawrence office.
Roofing in Shawnee
Shawnee is one of the older suburbs in Johnson County. The neighborhoods around downtown Shawnee and Nieman Road have ranch homes and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1970s. Western Shawnee has newer two-story homes on larger lots, many built after 2000.
Older Shawnee homes often have low-slope sections, add-on rooms, and more than one layer of shingles from past jobs. We tear off to the deck so we can see and fix soft spots before the new roof goes on.
Shawnee sits in the path of spring storms that move across northern Johnson County. Hail, high wind, and tornado warnings are part of life here. We inspect storm damage for free and help you through the insurance claim when the damage is covered.
Neighborhoods
The older core along Johnson Drive and Nieman Road. Ranch homes and cottages here often have old roofs that were layered over instead of torn off.
Newer homes in western Shawnee with larger roofs and HOA guidelines. Many have architectural shingles that are reaching their first replacement.
Homes along Monticello Road on the west side, mostly built from the late 1990s on. Big roofs with many valleys need careful flashing work.
Established homes near the park and the lake, with mature trees that can drop limbs on roofs during storms.
Split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s. Their mixed roof heights create tricky wall and step flashing, which we replace during a tear-off.
Local roof notes
Spring storms cross northern Johnson County with hail and straight-line wind. After a storm, check for shingle pieces in the yard and dents in gutters and vents.
Many older Shawnee homes have two layers of shingles. A full tear-off lets us check the deck and install the new roof correctly.
Kansas summers bake attics that are not vented well. We check intake and exhaust vents so your new shingles last.
Pricing
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.

Our work
“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.”

Questions
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.
We recommend a full tear-off. Building codes generally do not allow a new layer over two existing layers, and even a second layer hides problems in the deck. A tear-off lets us replace soft decking and install new underlayment and flashing.
We check the City of Shawnee requirements for your project and pull any permit that is required. We also schedule any inspections the city requires.
Look for dents in gutters, downspouts, and roof vents, and for shingle pieces in the yard. Then call us for a free inspection. We photograph the damage so you can decide whether to file a claim.
Call us or send the form. We will inspect your Shawnee roof, show you the photos, and give you a written price.
