Spring Hill, KS · Johnson County
Roof inspections in Spring Hill.
Spring Hill sits in both Johnson and Miami counties, south of the Kansas City metro off U.S. 169, and most of its homes are fairly new: Census estimates put the median year built at 2007.
The short answer
Spring Hill requires a reroofing permit with three inspections, and contractors must be licensed with the Johnson County or Miami County licensing program.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Spring Hill on 6 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 13 days. The largest hail reported there was 2.0 inches on September 23, 2023.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Spring Hill, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
About two in three of its homes were built in 2000 or later. In April 2026, the National Weather Service logged preliminary tornado and wind reports in and around town.
James B. Hovey, the area’s first settler, arrived in March 1857, and the Main Street area (the 100 block of South Main) is Johnson County’s first historic district. Roof Inspectors starts with your address and can arrange a free inspection with one local roofing partner.
Storm record for Spring Hill since 2016
NOAA/NWS storm reports through November 10, 2026.
These are records for the wider area, not for your address. A storm on record doesn’t mean your roof was damaged, and it doesn’t mean your insurance company will accept that storm or date. That’s why an inspection is worth having: a roofing professional looks at the roof itself.

How we count. A hail day is a day with at least one National Weather Service hail report of 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Spring Hill; a wind day has a measured or estimated gust of 58 mph or more. Data through November 10, 2026.
The full method and source
Several reports on the same day count once.
Our storm records come from NOAA radar estimates and National Weather Service reports. Radar can miss or misjudge hail, and a report marks a single spot, so records can be incomplete. Treat them as a starting point, not a verdict about your roof.
Radar hail days use NOAA’s radar estimates (MRMS) of 1 inch or larger over the same area, counted only when the Weather Service also logged hail within 15 miles that day. 2026 numbers come from preliminary reports and can change.
Source: NOAA / National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center storm reports and NOAA MRMS radar hail estimates, retrieved November 11, 2026. Data through November 10, 2026; 2026 reports are preliminary and can still change. Compiled by Roof Inspectors from public-domain NOAA data. How storm data works.
On our hail-by-place comparison (5-mile circles, 2016–2025), Spring Hill is in the middle band.
