Composition Roof Repair Pro Commemorates Joplin Tornado Anniversary

Last year's EF-5 tornado may have leveled houses and erased a number of Missouri landmarks off the map, but to MB Roofing, Inc., the Joplin tragedy is a reminder that hope can be regained and communities rebuilt.

Kansas City, MO (prHWY.com) May 29, 2012 - MB Roofing, Inc. - Last year's EF-5 tornado may have leveled houses and erased a number of Missouri landmarks off the map, but to a local roofing contractor, the Joplin tragedy is a reminder that hope can be regained and communities rebuilt.

MB Roofing, Inc. today released a primer on Kansas City roof repair to help homeowners make the "right" choices when it comes to replacing or repairing damaged property.

Rebuilding a home is never easy, but with extra hands and the right help, no task is impossible, the asphalt shingle roofing expert said.

Help Offered by Extra Eyes

Topping the company's list of recommendations is for homeowners to insist on roofing inspections prior to any re-shingling job or new installation.

The composition roofing contractor said that proceeding without a survey is just like building a basement in Joplin.

Experts had earlier found Joplin's rocky terrain as unfit and unsafe for underground rooms to be constructed. The finding has since prompted homeowners to opt for "safe rooms" - fortified cubicles designed to resist extreme weather conditions - instead of basements.

MB Roofing, Inc. stressed that roof check-ups are crucial, as they perform the following functions:

* Confirm the structural integrity of the roofing system and the ability of the structure to accommodate extra load and foot traffic during repairs

* Gauge the scope of the home improvement project and estimate the quantity of materials needed to complete the job

* Inspect problem areas up close and identify which sections the repairs will target

It is uncommon for a roof repair professional in Kansas City to dish out cost estimates based on the description of the problem alone, the company said.

It added that a conscientious contractor will never forgo a preliminary assessment just so it can provide prospective clients with immediate figures.

MB Roofing, Inc. is inviting Missouri homeowners and interested parties to view the free primer for the rest of the rebuild and repair tips.

Life After the Sweep

The storm in Joplin is the "costliest single tornado" in 60 years, reported the Associated Press. The disaster claimed 161 lives, affected 17,000 others, destroyed 8,000 structures, and registered a collective damage amounting to almost $ 3B.

Under the National Weather Service's Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, an EF-5 tornado carries average wind speeds that exceed 200 mph - something that even storm-resistant asphalt shingles are unable to withstand.

Today, where debris and rubble used to sit, new buildings rise. Other spots however remain empty as officials wait for funding request approval from the federal government over recovery and rebuilding projects such as replacing the signage lost during the storm.
