About Performance Roofing Services Co — Lawrence, KS
We started in Lawrence in 2018 and we're still here. That single fact separates us from every storm chaser who rolls into Douglas County after a hail event, collects deposits, and disappears before the warranty ink dries.
Why Did We Plant Roots in Lawrence?
Douglas County sits in the Central Great Plains hail corridor. That geographic reality means Lawrence homeowners and business owners deal with roof damage more frequently than most of the country. When we set up operations here in 2018, we saw a market full of out-of-town contractors who showed up after every storm, knocked on doors, collected checks, and moved on to the next disaster zone.
We took the opposite approach. We established a permanent office at 2500 W 31st St, built relationships with local suppliers, learned the specific roofing challenges of Lawrence neighborhoods — from the 1920s craftsman homes in Old West Lawrence to the newer construction in Alvamar — and invested in being the contractor who is still here when you need warranty work three years from now.
Since 2018, we've completed hundreds of roofing projects across Douglas County. Residential replacements, commercial membrane installations, emergency storm damage repairs, and complex insurance claim restorations. Every project gets the same process: thorough inspection, detailed documentation, transparent pricing, clean installation, and post-project follow-up.
What Roofing Services Do We Provide in Lawrence?
We handle residential and commercial roofing — the full scope. Most roofing companies in the Lawrence market specialize in one or the other. We do both because Douglas County property owners deserve a single contractor who understands asphalt shingle systems, metal roofing, and commercial membrane systems equally well.

How Are We Different from Storm Chasers?
After every major hail event in Lawrence, out-of-state roofing companies flood the market. They canvass neighborhoods door to door, offer free inspections, and push homeowners to sign contracts quickly. Some do decent work. Many cut corners, use substandard materials, and leave town before you discover the problems.
Storm Chaser Red Flags
- Out-of-state license plates on work trucks
- No local office address — just a PO box or hotel
- Pressure to sign a contract immediately
- Requests large deposits before work begins
- No verifiable local references
What We Do Instead
- Permanent office at 2500 W 31st St, Lawrence
- Licensed and insured in Kansas since 2018
- No-pressure inspections — written report, no obligation
- No large upfront deposits required
- 21 five-star Google reviews from local customers
The real test is warranty work. When a shingle lifts in a windstorm two years after installation, or a flashing starts weeping after heavy rain — that's when you find out whether your roofer is a local business or a storm chaser who is three states away. We're still at the same address, answering the same phone number: (785) 592-3791.
Where Do We Work?
We serve all of Douglas County and surrounding communities. Our primary service area includes Lawrence, Eudora, Lecompton, Baldwin City, and the unincorporated communities of Midland, Kanwaka, Pleasant Grove, and Sibleyville. Most projects are within 20 minutes of our office.
Knowing the local building stock matters. The 1890s wood-frame houses in Old West Lawrence have different roofing challenges than the 2010s tract homes in Shadow Ridge in Eudora. We've worked on both — and everything in between. That experience with Lawrence-specific construction methods, Kansas building codes, and Douglas County weather patterns is something no out-of-town contractor can replicate.
