About John
John Beal was born and raised in St. Louis, and he has called it home his entire life. Roofing has been part of his life for just as long. His grandfather and father worked in the trade before him, and today John carries that family tradition forward as the third-generation owner of John Beal Roofing. The family business traces its roots to 1947 and has served more than 50,000 homeowners and businesses.
What John enjoys most about roofing is helping people figure out what their property actually needs. Sometimes that means tracking down a leak and making a repair. Other times, it means helping a homeowner or property manager decide whether it’s time to replace the roof. John believes customers should understand what’s happening with their roof, what their options are, and what to expect before work begins.
That approach is part of the business that still bears his family name. John Beal Roofing remains family-owned and has earned the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Ethics. Its teams handle residential and commercial roof repairs, replacements, and storm damage across Greater St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, Jefferson City, the Lake of the Ozarks, Farmington, Cape Girardeau, Southern Illinois, including Carbondale, as well as Paducah and Indianapolis.
Away from work, John loves to fly. He’s a pilot and a singer-songwriter, and he enjoys reading, learning new things, and meeting new people. He’s also a father to his son Nathan and is involved with several nonprofit organizations.
After a lifetime in roofing, John still takes satisfaction in the same thing that drew him to the work in the first place: solving a problem for someone and knowing they can count on the roof over their head.
