Appelhanz Roofing

Appelhanz Roofing has worked Topeka roofs since 1979, and it is still a family operation, now run by second-generation owner Matt Appelhanz after he bought the business his father Ted founded. Forty-plus years in one hail-prone market means the crews have seen how local roofs age and fail across generations of storms, and it is the kind of institutional tenure a post-storm operator cannot manufacture. They run residential replacement, repair, storm and hail work, and insurance-claim assistance out of Topeka, with additional offices in Lawrence and Manhattan, so they cover the wider eastern-Kansas area. The BBB A+ accreditation held since 1992 is the longest clean record of any shop on this list, and they back their work with a five-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's coverage. On the call, ask which shingle system they would recommend for your roof, how the manufacturer warranty registers in your name, and to confirm their crews are handling your neighborhood. For a Topeka homeowner who wants the most established, deeply reviewed local name, Appelhanz is the safe first call.
