Fall’s here, winter’s coming, and most folks ain’t ready. Don’t wait for leaks in December — get your roof, gutters, and siding checked NOW. Be smart, be early, stay covered. Classic Contracting’s got you.

They asked if the angle of the roof affects the measurements. Next thing you know, we’re cracking James Bond and Austin Powers jokes. 😂 Sometimes laughter really is the best insulation. #RoofLife #CommunityStrong #YeahBaby #YourFavoriteContractor #FreeRoofCheck #SmallTownBigHearts #HomeStrong

Customer swore her window lock was broke. Nope — just the top sash slipping. Push it up & it’s fine. Too short to reach? That’s not a window problem 😂

Everybody’s out here paying for 4, 5, 6 subscriptions just to watch TV.
Meanwhile, this homeowner? She’s about to get hundreds of free channels just by putting up a new antenna.

Metal roofs have come a long way… but sometimes the old school builds still outshine the new ones.
This old shed might look worn down, but trust me, it’s stronger than most sheds you’ll buy today. #MetalRoof

Talked with Ryan & Owen at R.P. Lumber — not just about roofs, but about life & community. At the end of the day, it’s the people that hold it all together.

A roof is built with nails and shingles… but it’s held together by community. 🙌

This homeowner didn’t have to buy donuts for my crew — but she did. 🍩 That’s Missouri kindness, and it goes a long way.

FLASHBACK: This job took 2 years.
Other contractors quit when things got tough.
I don’t. I run the extra miles—always to the finish line.

“Customer calls us for a roof.
Then they say: ‘While you’re at it, these downspouts are toast.’
That’s the beauty of Classic Contracting — we don’t just stop at the shingles. 🛠️” #ClassicContractingKC #RoofAndGutters #HomeownersWin #OneStopContractor #ExteriorSolutions

“Every homeowner asks the same thing: ‘What’s the best shingle?’
This is it. Owens Corning. I don’t just say it. I show it.
When I walk up with this board, you’ll see why I don’t install anything less.
Would you settle for ‘cheap’ or choose the best?

PRO TIP
RCV= insurance pays to replace your roof at today’s cost.
ACV= they subtract age & wear, leaving you short.
Don’t wait for a storm to find out which policy you have. Check now.

“Wind vs Hail.
Both can wreck your roof, but they leave different scars.

💨 Wind creases and lifts shingles.
🌩 Hail beats the granules off, leaving the mat exposed.

👉 Either way, it’s damage — and if you wait too long, insurance stops listening.”#WindVsHail #ClassicContractingKC

“I’ve climbed on plenty of ‘new’ roofs that were hiding bruises, creases, and cracks. From the yard, they looked perfect.

👉 Have you ever had something in your home look fine on the outside but fail way earlier than expected?”

🍂 Fall feels safe—but that’s the trick.
Hail dents don’t heal.
Wind damage doesn’t reseal.
And the first freeze? It exposes everything you ignored.

👉 Fix it now, or pay for it later.
Which type are you: fix it now or wait & see?

“Two years.
That’s how long it took for one Cass County homeowner’s claim to finally get resolved with State Farm — even with us fighting beside them.
So let me ask you:
👉 When it comes to an insurance claim, how long is too long for a homeowner to wait?”

2 years to finish 1 job… Homeowners pay for coverage, not corporate stalling.
Like a good neighbor… who never shows up, never calls back, and makes you wait 2 years. Thanks, State Farm. 🤡
