Plain talk up front, because a leaking or storm damaged roof is stressful enough without wondering who you are actually dealing with. This page explains exactly what Ozarks Roofing Pros is, what it is not, and how the money works.
Ozarks Roofing Pros is a referral service for homeowners in Springfield and the surrounding Ozarks who need roofing help. We publish plain English information about roof problems in this region, take your call or your form, and pass your request to a local roofing contractor who serves your part of town. The contractor schedules the evaluation, inspects your roof, and, if work is needed, quotes and performs it under a contract directly with you.
We exist because finding the right contractor cold is its own project, especially right after a hail storm when every door in the neighborhood gets knocked on. A homeowner staring at shingles in the yard usually wants one thing: a qualified local contractor to come look at the roof. Arranging that introduction is the whole of our job.
Missouri has no state roofing license, so there is no state license number for a roofer to show you. That makes the other checks more important, not less. Before a contractor receives referrals through this site, they must:
Because there is no state roofing license in Missouri, homeowners should ask any roofer, including one referred here, to show proof of coverage and a written quote before signing anything. A contractor who meets our standards will expect those questions and answer them without hesitation.
The referral costs you nothing. Contractor partners pay us a flat fee for operating this marketing and referral service. That fee is the same whether your job is large, small, or never happens at all, and it is never a percentage of your contract and never a charge added to your bill. We do not sell your information to data brokers or to lists of unrelated companies; your details go to a contractor partner for the purpose of answering your request, as our privacy policy spells out.
Because our fee does not depend on your job, nothing about this service rewards steering you toward a bigger repair. If the contractor's honest answer is that your roof has good years left and only needs a small repair, that answer costs us nothing and earns exactly what it should: your trust, and maybe your word of mouth.
Roofing behavior is local. Hail tracks through Christian County, ice dams on a shaded Rountree roof, wind uplift on an open lot in Republic, and fast growing metal roofing on rural properties outside Rogersville are different problems that happen to share a name. The guides on this site are written from the weather and housing stock of the Springfield area on purpose, so that when you talk to the contractor who evaluates your home, you can ask sharper questions and hear whether the answers match the roof you live under.
