Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Springfield, MO metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Roov Missouri Inc (81.1), Cox Roofing Co LLC (79.8), RX Roofing (75.8), Roof One LLC (73.0), Bear’s Den Construction (64.4). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.
The Roofing Brief scored 5 certified roofing contractors serving the Springfield metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Springfield sits in one of the most violent hail corridors in the country. Its counties logged 377 hail reports and 54 tornadoes in ten years, with $76 million in reported property damage and three separate four-inch hail events, at Crown, Fair Play and Marshfield. Among the metros scored so far only Dallas, Oklahoma City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Wichita carry a heavier damaging-hail count. And Missouri licenses nobody: no state roofing licence, no exam, no register, no board that can discipline a contractor. High hail plus no regulation is the combination that attracts storm chasers, which is why this metro’s certified pool is only five deep and why the certification matters more here than almost anywhere.
Hail, codes and what they cost a Springfield homeowner
Missouri has no statewide contractor licensing of any kind. There is no roofing licence, no general contractor licence, no state exam and no board with authority to act against a roofer. Licensing in Missouri happens at city and county level and varies enormously: Springfield operates its own contractor registration and permit process through the city, while much of Greene, Christian, Webster, Polk and Dallas County has far less. Establish which jurisdiction your property is in and whether a permit and inspection will actually happen, because in this metro that is not a given.
With 377 hail reports over the decade, impact resistance here is a specification question rather than an upsell. Ask every contractor to quote a UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingle alongside the standard option, and ask your insurer directly what premium credit a Class 4 roof earns, because Missouri carriers commonly offer one and in a market this active the credit can recover the price difference within a few years.
The hail seasonality is sharp and useful. Severe weather reports cluster in May, April and June, with 276 in May alone. If your roof is not leaking, scheduling work for late summer or autumn means dealing with crews who are not simultaneously triaging emergency callouts, and it means you are not making a decision under the pressure of a tarp on the roof.
The storm-chasing pattern in this corridor is well documented and worth naming: out-of-state crews arrive within days of a major hail event, knock doors, offer to handle the insurance claim and to waive the deductible. Waiving or absorbing a deductible is insurance fraud in Missouri, not a discount. A contractor offering it is telling you something about how it operates. Every contractor on this page has been checked against the BBB record precisely because the state provides no other check.
The 5 best roofers in Springfield, MO
Scored 2026-09-24. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for Springfield is 4.84, across a pool of 5 certified contractors.
| Rank | Company | TRB Score | Certification | Rating (reviews) | Adjusted | In business since | Based in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Roov Missouri Inc | 81.1 | Master Elite | 5.0 (99) | 4.946 | not published | Nixa, MO |

1. Roov Missouri Inc — TRB Score 81.1
Roov Missouri Inc is based in Nixa, MO, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
| Score component | Points | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Certification tier | 24 | 35 |
| Adjusted rating | 37.9 | 40 |
| Review corpus depth | 11.8 | 15 |
| Metro proximity | 7.4 | 10 |
| Total | 81.1 | 100 |
Independently corroborated:
- Member of the Nixa Area Chamber of Commerce. Chamber
- Roof replacement, storm damage repair and free inspections across Nixa, Ozark, Springfield and Branson. Company
What they actually do. Roof replacement and storm damage repair across Greene and Christian counties.
Why it ranks here. A clean 5.0 across 99 registry reviews with Master Elite certification, ten miles from the metro centre in Nixa.
Best fit for: Nixa, Ozark and southern Christian County homeowners.
What we would want clarified. No BBB profile or rating was locatable. In a state with no licensing at all, that removes the only external conduct check available, so ask for references from completed local jobs and the certificate of insurance direct from the insurer. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (417) 370-1259, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Cox Roofing Co LLC — TRB Score 79.8
Cox Roofing Co LLC is based in Brookline, MO, BBB accredited since 31 March 1995, A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Member of the Springfield Home Builders Association. Trade body
What they actually do. Roof repair, replacement and installation, residential and commercial, across southwest Missouri.
Why it ranks here. Thirty-one years of unbroken BBB accreditation, dating to 1995, is by far the longest external record in this metro and the strongest thing available in a state that licenses nobody. Dual certification with GAF and CertainTeed, and more than forty years of stated experience.
Best fit for: Homeowners weighting a three-decade complaint record, and anyone wanting a choice of shingle manufacturer.
What we would want clarified. Six miles from the metro centre on a bounded estimate. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

What we would want clarified. Thirty registry reviews and six years trading, and not BBB accredited despite the A+ rating. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Best fit for: Springfield homeowners, and properties near the Arkansas or Kansas line.

What 4.0 inch hail does to a Springfield roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 5 counties of the Springfield, MO statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 377 hail reports, 763 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 54 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $76.0 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Springfield in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 May 2024 | 4.0 in | Crown | Webster |
| 21 April 2022 | 4.0 in | Fair Play | Polk |
| 26 May 2024 | 4.0 in | Marshfield Bcknr Arp | Webster |
| 1 April 2024 | 3.5 in | Rondo | Polk |
| 26 May 2024 | 3.0 in | Marshfield | Webster |
| 26 May 2024 | 3.0 in | Marshfield | Webster |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 8 May 2024 near Crown, measured at 4.0 inches. That is grapefruit sized. Stones that big destroy asphalt shingles outright, dent metal, crack tile and routinely total roofs across whole neighbourhoods.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 79 knots, about 91 mph, near Sequiota on 29 April 2025. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 54 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF2 near Ozark Airpark Arpt on 30 April 2019.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 29 April 2025 event near Sequiota, reproduced verbatim:
A 65 foot radio tower collapses after a Gill Windmaster Anemometer mounted 20 up on the tower measures a 91 mph wind gust.
That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (276), April (246), June (155). The worst years on record were 2025 (201), 2024 (175), 2017 (158). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Springfield, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. At 307 damaging-hail reports in ten years, impact resistance in Springfield is a specification question, not an upsell. Ask every contractor you shortlist to quote a UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingle alongside the standard option, and ask your insurer whether a Class 4 roof earns a premium discount, because many carriers offer one in high-hail territory.
Before you sign anything in Springfield
There is no state roofing licence in MO. Missouri has no state roofing licence and no state roofer registration. Bills to create one have been filed repeatedly, including Senate Bill 326 in 2021 and House Bill 1348 in 2025, but none has been enacted, so claims that roofers must register with the state are wrong. What Missouri does have is a storm-claim statute: under RSMo 407.725 a contractor may not offer to pay or rebate any part of an insurance deductible, may not represent or negotiate on a homeowner’s insurance claim, and must give the homeowner a written right to cancel.
The cancellation right in RSMo 407.725 runs until midnight on the fifth business day after the insurer tells the homeowner in writing that all or part of the claim is not covered, and the contractor must attach a detachable Notice of Cancellation form to the contract. Payments must be returned within ten days of cancellation, less the reasonable value of emergency work the homeowner acknowledged in writing. A violation is an unfair practice under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, which the Attorney General enforces.
That absence is the most important fact on this page. Where a state issues no credential, a manufacturer certification that can be revoked is the only quality signal a homeowner can actually check, which is why this ranking is built on certification rather than star ratings.
Check here: RSMo 407.725 (Missouri Revisor of Statutes). Because the state licenses no one, any licensing happens at city or county level, and many Missouri jurisdictions require only a business licence and a reroof permit. Ask which local licence and permit apply, check the contract for the boldface cancellation notice the statute requires, and treat any offer to cover your deductible as a red flag: it is unlawful in Missouri.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
The shape of the Springfield contractor market
5 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Springfield, MO statistical area, of which 0 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 576 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.84.

How these Springfield rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Springfield, MO pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 5 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 4 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.84. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in Springfield in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Springfield, MO statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 4.0 inches, reported near Crown on 8 May 2024. That is grapefruit sized. Stones that big destroy asphalt shingles outright, dent metal, crack tile and routinely total roofs across whole neighbourhoods. Across the decade the metro recorded 377 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $76.0 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Springfield?
Severe-weather reports in the Springfield, MO statistical area cluster in May, April, June, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. If the work can wait, booking outside that window usually buys you shorter lead times and more of the contractor’s attention.
Do roofers need a licence in MO?
Missouri has no state roofing licence and no state roofer registration. Bills to create one have been filed repeatedly, including Senate Bill 326 in 2021 and House Bill 1348 in 2025, but none has been enacted, so claims that roofers must register with the state are wrong. What Missouri does have is a storm-claim statute: under RSMo 407.725 a contractor may not offer to pay or rebate any part of an insurance deductible, may not represent or negotiate on a homeowner’s insurance claim, and must give the homeowner a written right to cancel. The cancellation right in RSMo 407.725 runs until midnight on the fifth business day after the insurer tells the homeowner in writing that all or part of the claim is not covered, and the contractor must attach a detachable Notice of Cancellation form to the contract. Payments must be returned within ten days of cancellation, less the reasonable value of emergency work the homeowner acknowledged in writing. A violation is an unfair practice under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, which the Attorney General enforces.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Springfield?
Because the state licenses no one, any licensing happens at city or county level, and many Missouri jurisdictions require only a business licence and a reroof permit. Ask which local licence and permit apply, check the contract for the boldface cancellation notice the statute requires, and treat any offer to cover your deductible as a red flag: it is unlawful in Missouri.
Is Springfield a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Springfield sits in one of the most violent hail corridors in the country. Its counties logged 377 hail reports and 54 tornadoes in ten years, with $76 million in reported property damage and three separate four-inch hail events, at Crown, Fair Play and Marshfield. Among the metros scored so far only Dallas, Oklahoma City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Wichita carry a heavier damaging-hail count. And Missouri licenses nobody: no state roofing licence, no exam, no register, no board that can discipline a contractor. High hail plus no regulation is the combination that attracts storm chasers, which is why this metro’s certified pool is only five deep and why the certification matters more here than almost anywhere.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Springfield?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Springfield, MO statistical area logged 763 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 307 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
