The Oak Park streets behind the name

Say Oak Park around here and most people picture the mall up on W. 95th Street. This page is about the other one: the residential streets in north-central Overland Park, along the 103rd and 104th Street corridor near Quivira Road. Bond Street and Garnett Street are two of them.

The houses around here mostly went up between the 1970s and the 1990s. The Oak Park name reaches past the Overland Park line into Lenexa in a few spots, so if you aren't sure which side of it your street sits on, send the address and we'll check. On housing that age the builder's covering has usually been gone for years, and whatever's up there now is up there because somebody chose it.

Roofs on houses built in the seventies, eighties and nineties

Most people here have no idea when the roof was last done, and in a house somebody else owned first that's normal. Working it out is our roofer's job, so it isn't yours.

·The covering has its own install date
The covering went on later than the house did, sometimes by decades, and that's the date that counts. A build year tells you what the house started with; it can't tell you what's up there now.
·Whoever put this covering on decided what to keep
A replacement either renews the flashing, the pipe boots and the venting, or it re-uses what's already up there. Somebody made that call years ago, and the next replacement has to live with it.
·Storms on the county record hit whichever covering was up there
The storms on the county record came through while some earlier covering was up there, and nobody wrote down how it held up. There's no file on this roof's history; it's all on the shingles.

Our roofer settles all three on the same visit, and tells you which of them is behind whatever you're seeing from the ground.

Oak Park questions about a roof somebody else put on

How do I find out how old the roof on my house really is?
Off the roof itself. Counting the coverings, the kind of shingle up there, and the state of the flashing and the pipe boots gives you an install window even when no paperwork survived the last sale. That's the work an inspection does.
Is this hail damage, or is the roof just old?
Not from the ground, usually. Johnson County's hail record covers the whole county and can't speak to one house, and on a roof that already has years on it a hail bruise and ordinary wear are easy to confuse. Telling them apart is close-up work, and that's where storm and hail work begins.
Is a roof on an eighties house worth replacing, or is patching still fine?
Patching is the right answer a lot of the time. A roof with service left in it can still lose pipe boots and flashing seals, and putting those right is a repair and not a replacement. Our roofer will tell you when that's run out, which is when the same roof keeps needing the same repair and the shingles underneath have nothing left.
Is Oak Park the mall or the neighborhood?
Both answer to the name, and that's where the confusion comes from. Oak Park Mall is up on W. 95th Street; the Oak Park this page means is the residential streets down near 103rd and Quivira, south of it.

Finding out

Put your Oak Park roof's history on paper

What our roofer finds up there gets written down: how many coverings, how the flashing is holding, roughly where in its life that roof sits. He goes through it with you before he leaves, and if this roof has a few more winters in it, he'll say so. The next time this question comes up in this house, nobody's starting from nothing.
