The storm history, how Missouri licenses roofers, and the questions we ask any Springfield contractor before we feature them.
The Ozarks take hail, straight-line wind, and the occasional tornado, mostly from spring through fall, along with winter freeze-thaw that stresses aging roofs. Hail and wind are the main drivers of storm-damage insurance claims in the Springfield metro, which is why impact-rated shingles and metal systems are common choices for homeowners replacing a roof.
How Missouri regulates roofers
Open →Close
Missouri does not issue a statewide roofing license. Since January 1, 2023, every roofing contractor must register with the Missouri Department of Commerce & Insurance under Senate Bill 326, proving at least $1 million in general liability, an active workers' compensation policy, and motor-vehicle insurance. The City of Springfield separately requires a business license for shops operating in city limits. We verify a roofer's registration and that they carry liability and workers' compensation coverage.
Every roofer on this page cleared the same vetting before we listed them: we confirmed their registration and insurance, checked their manufacturer certifications, and read their reviews across Google, BBB, and Facebook. We keep each city's list short on purpose, a few roofers we would actually call ourselves, not every name in town. Treat it as a strong head start, not a substitute for your own diligence: always confirm registration, insurance, and the written warranty before you sign.
