Frequently Asked Questions
At Invictus Roofing & Solar, we know that choosing the right roofing and solar solutions for your home is a big decision. Homeowners across Kansas often ask us about roof repairs, storm damage, solar panel installations, and warranties — so we’ve gathered the most common questions and answers in one place. Whether you’re wondering if your roof needs repair, how solar panels affect your energy bills, or what materials work best for Kansas weather, you’ll find straightforward answers right here.
1. How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
Signs your roof may need attention include missing shingles, water stains on ceilings, granules in gutters, or visible sagging. Our team offers free roof inspections in Kansas to help you determine whether a simple repair or a full replacement is the best option. Check out our Tips & Resources page for more information
2. How long does a typical roof last in Kansas weather conditions?
On average, an asphalt shingle roof lasts 20–25 years. Severe weather in Kansas — like hail, high winds, and heavy storms — can shorten that lifespan. Metal and tile roofs can last 40–50 years or more. Regular inspections and maintenance help extend roof life.
3. Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?
Yes! Invictus Roofing & Solar provides free roof inspections and no-obligation estimates. We’ll examine your roof for storm damage, leaks, and wear-and-tear, then give you a clear plan of action.
4. Will my homeowners insurance cover roof damage?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof repairs or replacements caused by storms, hail, or wind. Coverage usually does not apply to damage from age or neglect. Our experts can guide you through the insurance claims process to make it simple and stress-free. Check out our Tips & Resources page for more information
5. How quickly can you respond after a storm?
We understand the urgency of storm damage. Our roofing team can often be on-site within 24–48 hours after severe weather in Kansas to provide an inspection, temporary repairs, and a detailed estimate.
6. Can solar panels be installed on an existing roof?
Yes! Solar panels can be installed on most existing roofs as long as the roof is in good condition. If your roof needs replacement soon, it’s best to handle the roof and solar installation together for long-term savings.
7. Will solar panels damage my roof?
No — when installed properly, solar panels do not damage your roof. In fact, they can protect the shingles underneath by shielding them from direct sunlight and hail. Our certified solar installers use industry-approved methods to keep your roof secure and watertight.
8. How much can I save by switching to solar energy?
Savings depend on your energy use, roof size, and available sunlight. Many Kansas homeowners see their electric bills drop by 50–70% after installing solar panels. Plus, federal tax credits and state incentives can make the investment even more affordable.
9. What types of roofs work best with solar panels?
Solar panels work best on asphalt shingle, metal, and flat roofs with good sun exposure. South-facing roofs are ideal, but panels can also be mounted on east- or west-facing slopes. Our team will design a system tailored to your roof and energy needs.
10. What roofing materials do you install?
We install a variety of roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and flat roofing systems. Our experts will recommend the best material for your home’s style, budget, and Kansas climate conditions. Check out our Tips & Resources page for more information
11. How long does it take to replace a roof?
Most residential roof replacements in Kansas take 1–3 days depending on the size of the home and type of materials used. Larger or specialty projects may take longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
12. Do you offer warranties on roofing and solar work?
Yes — Invictus Roofing & Solar offers both manufacturer warranties on materials and workmanship warranties on our installations. This ensures your roof and solar system are protected for years to come.
