For the remainder of 2025 we are offering homeowners a free impact (IR) material upgrade on all roof replacements, which can save them money on their annual insurance premiums.
As a woman-owned and locally operated roofing contractor, it has always been the company’s mission to provide builders and homeowners with the highest quality roofing installations. It works exclusively in Kansas City. This city is its home, as well as the home of the team members.
It is also somewhat unique in that it serves as its own distributor. That allows it the capacity to load its own roofs and maintain tight control over its scheduling, making things more convenient for both customers and staff.
The way it operates allows Century Roofing to consistently provide local homeowners with a reputable, responsible, and reliable contractor from the initial inspection to project finalization.
“With all of the severe weather we’ve received the past several years, outof-state hail chasers have taken advantage of many local homeowners and left them with no real warranty for their roofs,” said Travis Cornolo, president and COO. “Far too many
but it is able to assure them that it is local and has installed more than 35,000 roofs since its start. If there is any trouble after it finishes the job, its in-house service technicians are immediately deployed to inspect it. The company stands behind its 10year replacement warranty to make any needed repairs.
“
“ FAR TOO MANY HOMEOWNERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF
The hail chasing is more common than one might think, especially with that severe weather. It is fairly standard for out-of-state contractors to target impacted areas and use high pressure tactics to scare homeowners into signing an on-the-spot contract. Often, these operations wi ll be around no longer than it takes them to finish the job. Warranties are
913.422.0099 | centuryroofingkc.com
one that will stand behind its warranty for years to come.”
Some of the company’s proudest moments are when homeowners with limited means reach out in a dire situation such as potential eviction due to the state of their roof. Thanks to Century Roofing’s bulk purchasing model, it regularly secures competitive pricing and can offer homeowners a much more affordable quote than they would usually receive.
“To these people, it means the world to keep living in their home with a new roof over their head at a cost that will not bankrupt them,” said Travis. “I know in the past some sales reps have even given up their commission on some jobs just to help those in need be able to keep a roof over their family’s head. I think that speaks volumes to the character of our team and is a reflection of the values that have helped make Century Roofing the best roofing company in Kansas City.”
“I got into the mortgage industry in 2016 without knowing exactly where it would take me,” said Derek McGowan, branch manager and owner of McGowan Mortgages. “I just knew I loved working with people, solving problems, and thinking critically.”
McGowan Mortgages was built to be intentional in every aspect of its operations. The team created purposeful systems, hired with care, and designed each step of the client experience to be personal, proactive, and stress-free. It wasn’t always easy – but pressure revealed priorities. For everyone on the McGowan team, the priority was clear: the client always comes first.
At its core, the company helps individuals secure the financing needed to buy a home – whether it’s their first house or their forever home. McGowan Mortgages also works with homeowners seeking to refinance, whether the goal is to lower interest rates and monthly payments or to access equity through a cash-out refinance or home equity loan.
“What makes me excited to come to work every day is simple – every day is a fresh opportunity to help a new family move into a new home,” Derek said. “That never gets old.”
McGowan Mortgages offers clients a fresh approach, prioritizing flexibility and customization. With access to one of the broadest selections of loan options in the industry, the company avoids a one-size-fits-all approach. Every client’s financial situation and goals are unique – and the business operates with the philosophy that home loan should be, too.
“ Everyday is a fresh chance to help ”
“We’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all approach,” said Derek. “Every client’s financial situation and goals are unique, and we believe their home loan should be too. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be this: don’t assume all loans are equal.”
Recognizing that buying a home is one of the most significant financial decisions a person can make, the team takes that responsibility seriously. Their mission is to help each client find the right loan for their specific needs.
“While many lenders are stuck in the past, we’ve reimagined the mortgage process from the
a handful of products. McGowan, howev er, partners with nearly 300 of the best lenders, banks, and investors across the country.” That means the McGowan team can shop on their clients’ behalf, working to match them with the loan that’s truly the best fit for them by crafting person alized mortgage solutions.
The team has invested thousands of hours mastering these programs, so clients don’t have to spend weeks con sulting multiple lenders. Everything is brought together in one place, handled by one trusted team.
“When someone trusts us with something as important as buying a home, there’s no room to fake it,” said Derek. “You have to be prepared. You have to deliver. And when you’ve done the work behind the scenes, you just show up, do the job right, and let your work speak for itself.”

First opened in 2018 by Tim Fields and Barry Carr, Ignite Medical Resorts set out to make a difference in the rehabilitation world by “Extinguishing the Stereotype” of its industry. The medical resort proudly focuses on leading the industry in hospitality, technology, and culture. From its first location in Kansas City Northland to its now 26 resorts across Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas, it provides five-star experiences complete with advanced care and services.
Serving all ages in need of post-hospital rehabilitative care, the medical resort offers various types of therapy, including physical, occupational, and speech. Patients can receive up to three hours every day, seven days a week.
“We collaborate with area hospitals and physicians to provide various specialty clinical programs such as cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary recovery, stroke rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, renal management, and complex wound care,” explained Nicole Jablonski, the chief development officer at Ignite Medical Resorts.
The center is equipped with the latest technology in physical therapy. Its gyms are outfitted with the kind of technology one usually finds at rehab hospitals or state-of-the-art athletic facilities, including electrical stimulation, short wave diathermy, omni-VR, and more.
“This technology is utilized by the U.S. Olympic teams and over 200 professional and collegiate sports teams nationwide,” Nicole said. “These resources combined with our skilled therapists, ensure optimal rehabilitation outcomes for our guests.”
THANK YOU KANSAS CITY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Amongst all of the technology at Ignite Medical Resorts, perhaps the most impressive involves the use of an Andago, a robotic gait and balance trainer. The
facility is the first in the country to offer guests access to such technology.
Another advanced treatment plan that the resort utilizes is its partnership with Neuro Rehab VR, enabling patients to work in simulated environments to address physical concerns.
At Ignite Medical Resorts, patients are assured they are in capable hands. Every treatment plan is formulated for each individual and is a decision made in collaboration between the patient’s doctors and the facility’s therapists.
“Whether transitioning home or to lesser care settings, our teams diligently work to achieve goals and facilitate recovery,” said Nicole.
While it is often difficult to settle in and live at a place that is not home, Ignite Medical Resorts does its best to break the mold and become a haven of healing. It provides resort-style amenities worthy of a fivestar hotel including private rooms, concierge services, restaurant-style dining, Starbucks, Wi-Fi, and room-call services.
“At Ignite, we provide superior service and amenities, far exceeding those of typical skilled nursing facilities,” Nicole expressed. “Our aim is to make guests feel comfortable and at home.”
Guest stays vary in length but no matter how long they reside at Ignite Medical Resorts, every staff member plays a vital part in making patient stays warm and welcoming.
“Our front-line staff are integral to our mission, aiding in transforming community perceptions of the industry and successfully extinguishing stereotypes of conventional nursing home settings,” Nicole said. “We prioritize hiring practices and recognize, reward, and celebrate staff through programs like Superhero in Scrubs.”
Ignite Medical Resorts offers only the best, making it more than just a nursing facility, but a luxury rehabilitation resort that extinguishes the stereotype of its industry. Its warm hospitality, high-tech treatments, and fivestar services make it a place that no one can pass up.
within its first year of business is noth ing short of impressive.
“We are blown away by the amount of people who support us and the warm embrace by which we have been received,” said owner Heather Versfeld. “These awards really amplify the verse outside our door that states, ‘This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.’ Psalm 118:23.”
The Market at Prima first opened to the public on September 19, 2024, with The Bistro following shortly after, on October 25.
For Heather, her husband, Leon, and their two teen children, Annike and Johannes, opening a restaurant seemed unlikely. But with backgrounds as a flight attendant and an immigration attorney, respectively, they shared a combined vision for hospitality and connection.
This is exactly the kind of warmth and hospitality that guests will find at Prima Facie Bistro. The place is lively and buzzing all throughout the day with ladies’ luncheons, client and colleague gatherings, or special dinners honoring milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and retirements. Date nights are especially magical when live piano music sets the ambiance of the bistro Thursday through Saturday nights.
As a seasonal scratch kitchen, and offerings like trout almondine, delicious sandwiches and salads and the soon to be infamous Prima Smash burger, every lunch is sure to peak one’s interest. The dinner menu features classics like Filet mignon, lamb ragu, and roasted salmon that are sure to make any visit memorable.
Fan favorites like steak tartare and crab cakes are available during the daily happy
hour from 3-5 p.m., allowing guests to sit back and savor the small plate appetizers at a fraction of the usual price. And of course, no meal would be complete without dessert, which is why crème brulee, seasonal cobbler, and a decadent phyllo wrapped brownie oozing with ganache are just waiting to be ordered.
“SURE TO MAKE ANY VISIT MEMORABLE”
Nods to Leon’s Law Firm, on the floor above the Bistro, are also found throughout the cocktail menu with amusing legal names like Nolo Contendere, Subpoena, and the Right to Remain Silent. It’s fun for guests to serve their friends a Supoenashaken not stirred - right here in Parkville, Missouri.
VOTED SILVER FINE DINING
VOTED BRONZE
VOTED BRONZE HAPPY HOUR
The Market at Prima has busy customers covered with breakfast and lunch options at the ready for those who are on the move, looking for a more casual space or needing a quick gift. In addition to fun retail items including wine, beer, and bubbles, pre-mixed cocktails and fun party accoutrements for a favorite hostess or friend, our Market breakfast and lunch options include housebaked pastries, quiche Lorraine, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, salads, soups, coffees, and even boba teas and refresh ers! Indoor and outdoor seating is avail able, but perhaps the neatest feature is the drive-thru window, repurposed from the bank’s original teller window.
By creating a warm, inviting place for people to gather, Heather and Leon hope to do more than simply unite patrons in the local Parkville neighbor hoods over delicious meals, they seek to honor God.
