About Hostetler Roofing
Merle Kropf founded Hostetler Roofing in 1983 in Nashville, Arkansas, about 80 miles east of Mena, and his son Trevor is now co-owner and general manager. Forty-three years of family operation through every Polk County storm cycle, including the 2009 EF3 that hit downtown Mena and the November 2022 outbreak that swept the region, is a tenure signal almost no contractor in the western Arkansas pool can match. They are not a Polk County headquarters, but Mena is named explicitly among their published service cities, and they have been making the drive for over forty years. Their IB Roof Systems factory certification for commercial single-ply PVC is unusual for a market the size of Polk County and is the right credential for the schools, county buildings, and Highway 71 retail that need that scope after a major event. Two things to settle on the intake call: which residential shingle program they hold certified-installer status in, since the warranty registration depends on it, and their current Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board registration status, which you can confirm directly at the ACLB portal. For a homeowner or a property manager who wants deep regional tenure and genuine commercial capability, Hostetler is worth the call.
