No obligation. Takes 60 seconds.
BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
The Lake of the Ozarks has a roofing problem almost no other market has: a large share of these homes are empty most of the year. A storm comes through in April, nobody is standing in the driveway to see it, and the damage is not discovered until somebody opens the house in June — by which time the roof has been letting water in for two months and the clock on the insurance claim has been running the whole time.
Osage Beach, Lake Ozark, Camdenton, Sunrise Beach, Versailles — about a minute.
You do not have to be there. We inspect, photograph everything and send you the file.
A straightforward quote, plus claim documentation if the storm did real damage.

Damage to a primary residence gets noticed. Somebody hears the hail, sees the shingles in the yard, spots the ceiling stain within days. A second home gets none of that. The storm hits in March and the owner arrives Memorial Day weekend. In between, wind-lifted shingles have let three months of rain into the decking, and what would have been a straightforward claim has become a decking and insulation job. Most policies also expect prompt reporting of damage, so the delay itself can complicate the claim. If you own here and do not live here, a post-storm inspection is not an upsell — it is the only way you find out in time.
Wind crossing miles of open water arrives at the shoreline having lost nothing to friction, and the homes taking it are frequently the most exposed ones on the lake — bluff lots, peninsula points, anything with a clear westward view. That is also where the wind damage concentrates. It rarely dislodges shingles visibly. It breaks the seal strip so the shingle lies flat but is no longer bonded, then the next hard rain runs underneath it.
Custom lake homes are built for the view, which means multi-level rooflines, banks of dormers, deep overhangs, wide decks and porch roofs tying into main slopes at awkward angles. Every one of those transitions is a place water can get in, and nearly every leak we find at the lake is at a valley, a sidewall or a dormer cheek rather than in the open field. A quote priced off square footage alone has not accounted for the part of the roof that actually fails.
Our mid-Missouri office covers the full lake area, and that includes the communities away from the main channel — Versailles, Laurie, Gravois Mills and out through Morgan County — not just the Osage Beach strip. Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics.
No. We inspect, photograph everything and send you the documentation. Most of our lake customers are not on site, and for a second home that is exactly the point.

Not necessarily, but time works against you. Most policies expect prompt reporting, and ongoing water intrusion can turn a roof claim into a decking and insulation claim. Get it documented as soon as you can.
Because lake houses are built for the view - multi-level rooflines, dormers, deep overhangs and porch roofs tying in at odd angles. Water gets in at those transitions, not in the open field of shingles.
