If you are looking for a roofer in Columbia, the question worth asking is not who is cheapest — it is who will still be answering the phone in five years when a shingle lifts.
Storm damage and insurance
A large share of Columbia housing is rental and investor-owned, and rental roofs get looked at less than any building we inspect — nobody living under them is the one paying for it. Mid-Missouri takes spring hail lines and straight-line wind, then the freeze-thaw cycle works every nail pop and flashing seam through the winter. Hail bruising sits in the shingle mat rather than on the surface, which is exactly how a damaged roof passes a drive-by inspection and a claim gets denied for wear. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals, record the storm date, and hand you a written report you can give to an adjuster or a property manager.
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
- Written report and photos sent to owners and property managers — you should not need to be on site to know the condition of your roof

- 24/7 real answer at a local number, not a national dispatch queue

If it is an emergency right now
Call 573-343-8993 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. If you own the building but do not live in it, that is exactly the call to make: we get to the property, tarp active water, and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone. Crews run Columbia routes daily.
Frequently asked questions
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty from us plus the manufacturer's shingle warranty. Columbia runs from century-old homes near downtown to new subdivisions, and in both the workmanship is what fails first.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free, with photographs of every slope and a written report. No obligation, and it is yours to take elsewhere for a second opinion.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. Columbia permitting and inspections run through the city and we pull and schedule all of it, plus Boone County for addresses outside the limits.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several lending partners rather than one plan. A lot of Columbia work is on rental and investment property, where owners weigh terms and timing differently than homeowners do.
