We have been on roofs across Greene 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.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes — the damage that gets missed most
- Dents in gutters, valley metal or vent caps, the clearest record hail leaves behind
- Shingles creased or lifted after a straight-line wind event, even with none missing
- Granules washing into gutters or piling at splash blocks
- A roof that was repaired after a prior hail claim but never fully replaced
- Ceiling stains near chimneys, bath vents and valleys

If it is an emergency right now
Call 417-429-1927 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. 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. Crews are already running Strafford and Greene County routes, so an emergency here is a dispatch, not a road trip.
Storm damage and insurance
Southwest Missouri takes hail often, and Strafford roofs show it. The practical consequence is that insurers here scrutinize these claims harder than almost anywhere we work: the argument is rarely whether a storm happened, it is whether the damage on your slope came from that storm or from ordinary wear. That is won or lost on documentation. Hail bruising shows in the mat rather than on the surface, and wind creasing leaves shingles in place but broken, so neither reads from the driveway. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals — gutters, valley metal, vent caps, where hail leaves its clearest record — and put the storm date on the report. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is in it.

How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
