Kansas City: from bungalows to the northland
Kansas City, Missouri stretches from the historic neighborhoods south of downtown to the newer subdivisions of the Northland across the river.
Brookside, Waldo, Midtown and the Plaza area are full of early twentieth-century bungalows, Tudors and foursquares with steep pitches, dormers and chimneys. Those details are where flashing fails and leaks start.
North of the river, homes are generally newer, with large asphalt roofs that take the full force of hail and wind on open lots.
