We have been on roofs across Moniteau County long enough to know what fails here first. It is almost never the middle of the slope. It is the flashing, the valleys and the ventilation.
If it is an emergency right now
Call 573-343-8993 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. Being well out from town is exactly why around-the-clock service matters in California. For active water we tarp first and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone.

Storm damage and insurance
Out around California the damage comes from wind and trees as much as hail. Open farm ground gives a straight-line wind event nothing to slow it down, and wooded lots add limb strikes that puncture a slope without stripping a shingle off it — damage nobody sees from the driveway and that gets missed on a first claim. Mid-Missouri hail then bruises the shingle mat where nothing shows on the surface, and the freeze-thaw cycle works every seam through the winter. Access matters out here: gravel drives and long approaches change how material and dumpsters get staged. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals, record the storm date, and inspect barns, shops and detached garages alongside the house.
Why people here call us back
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation, standard
- BBB Torch Award recognized — an award for ethics, not advertising
- Best Value Guarantee — best value or we pay you $200
- Barns, shops and detached garages inspected with the house — on acreage they belong in the same claim
- Family-owned since 1947 — not a crew that follows the storm and leaves
- Adjuster-ready documentation on every inspection, because Missouri claims are won on evidence
- 24/7 real answer at a local number, not a national dispatch queue

Signs your roof needs looking at
- Limb-strike punctures or scuffed slopes after a wind event
- Shingles creased or lifted by open, unsheltered wind exposure
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Dents in gutters, valley metal or vent caps after a storm
- Granules washing into gutters or piling at splash blocks
- Damage on a barn, shop or detached garage roof that was never claimed

Frequently asked questions
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, with several lenders. Written California estimate first, then the financing conversation.
- Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
- Yes. In a town this size an unnecessary tear-off would be known about quickly. A sound roof gets told it is sound.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. We pull what California and Moniteau County require and handle the inspections.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, licensed where Moniteau County requires it and fully insured. Missouri has no state roofing license, so verify insurance.
