Elite Roof Systems

A roof can leak for days, weeks, or even months before it is noticed inside the building; causing severe damage to your roofs insulation, membrane, roof substrate, and interior damage. A roof can absorb as much as 50-gallon of water before the insulation becomes saturated enough to finally leak inside the building. When water penetrates through the roof membrane it will begin to saturate and spread through the insulation. Each year commercial business owners and managers spend literally billions of dollars to repair damages caused by leaks in the flat roofs covering their commercial facilities.

My name is Richard Tooley and I am the founder and President of Elite Roof Systems, a Kansas City commercial roofing company. I have been in the roofing industry for a little over 30 years and have had the pleasure of working with many great clients in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors of the roofing industry. After about 16 years in the industry, I noticed that the quality of workmanship was dwindling away in the roofing industry; primarily because most of the competition began using sub-contract labor.

Smartreplace is recommended when your roof has reached the end of its useful life and can no longer be repaired, maintained, or restored with coatings. Our primary focus is to repair and maintain the roof that you already own, however, there will always come a time when the repairs, maintenance, and coatings don't make financial sense any longer. At that point, we will let you know that you need a roof replacement. With our Smartinspect program you will get a 5-year budget forecast, so you can predict when you will need to budget for your new roof.
