A local roofer for Southeast Missouri
For years, homeowners in Cape Girardeau have had to choose between a small local crew and a storm-chasing outfit that leaves town once the claims dry up. We opened our Cape office to give you a third option: a three-generation family roofing company with a local address, a 24/7 phone line and the crews and credentials to handle anything from a single leaking vent to a full commercial re-roof.
What we do most often around Cape
- Full replacements on aging shingle roofs in established neighborhoods near downtown and the university
- Leak repairs around brick chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys
- Hail and wind claims after spring storms move up the river valley
- Gutter replacement and guards on heavily wooded lots
- Low-slope roofs on porches, additions and light commercial buildings along the I-55 corridor
Materials we install
We install architectural asphalt shingles from the major manufacturers and hold Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster credentials. Every replacement includes synthetic underlayment, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, new flashing where it's needed, and ventilation sized to the attic, which matters in humid river-country summers. Pick a color with our shingle color selector.
How to get started
Call 573-343-8993 or request a free inspection. We photograph each slope, check the attic, and give you a written report with options: repair when repair makes sense, replacement when it doesn't.

Why Cape Girardeau roofs wear out the way they do
Cape Girardeau sits on bluffs and rolling hills above the Mississippi, and that geography shapes how roofs age here. Storm lines that come up the river valley in spring bring hail and straight-line wind, often with little warning. Summers are long, hot and humid, which bakes south- and west-facing slopes and keeps shaded north slopes damp long enough for algae and moss to take hold. Winters swing above and below freezing, and the occasional ice storm loads trees until limbs come down on the roof. A roof that lasts in this climate needs more than shingles: it needs ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, flashing that's built correctly, and attic ventilation that actually moves air.
Neighborhoods and housing we work on
- Downtown and the riverfront: older brick and frame homes with steep pitches, dormers, box gutters and tall chimneys.
- Around Southeast Missouri State: a mix of owner-occupied homes and rentals, where landlords need fast repairs and clear photos.
- Mid-century neighborhoods: long ranch roofs that are often under-ventilated, which cooks the shingles from below.
- West Cape and the I-55 corridor: newer subdivisions with builder-grade roofs now reaching their first replacement.
- Jackson and the rural county: homes on larger lots with detached garages, shops and barns that can be quoted together.
The services behind one phone number
Most homeowners don't want to coordinate three different contractors. From the Cape office we handle roof inspections, leak repairs, full replacements, storm and hail damage, insurance claim documentation, gutters and gutter guards, siding and commercial roofs. If a storm damages the roof, gutters and siding at once, one estimate covers all of it, and one crew schedule keeps the job moving.
How we earn trust in a new market
We know Cape Girardeau homeowners have seen contractors show up after a storm and disappear once the checks clear. Our answer is simple. We have a local office on Siemers Dr., a phone that's answered 24 hours a day, and a family business that has been roofing since 1947 and has served more than 50,000 customers. Every estimate is written, every inspection comes with photos, and every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty. If your roof has years left, we'll tell you so.
Credentials that matter for your warranty
We are an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster and a GAF Master Elite contractor. Those designations let us install and register each manufacturer's complete roofing system, which is what makes a roof eligible for a manufacturer system warranty on top of our own workmanship warranty.
What to expect when you call the Cape office
A person answers 573-343-8993 any hour of the day. If water is coming in, we schedule emergency tarping first. If not, we book a free inspection at a time that works for you. On the visit, we walk the roof, check the attic when it's accessible, look at gutters, flashing and ventilation, and photograph everything. You get a written estimate that lists the scope, materials and colors. There's no pressure to sign the same day, and if the roof only needs a small repair, that's what the estimate says.
Roofing for Jackson, Scott City and the county
Many of the homes we look at are outside the Cape city limits. Jackson's established neighborhoods and new subdivisions, Scott City and Chaffee to the south, and the farm and wooded properties around Oak Ridge and Marble Hill all fall within our Southeast Missouri service area. We schedule those jobs from the same local office, so response times and pricing are the same whether you live on Broadway or out on a county road.
Planning ahead for storm season
The best time to look at a roof is before spring storm season, not after. A pre-season inspection catches loose flashing, cracked boots and worn ridge caps while they're still cheap to fix, and it gives you dated photos of the roof's condition. That record can help if you file a hail or wind claim later. Ask about a pre-season inspection when you call.
