Best Roofing Pros is a GAF Master Elite certified roofing contractor serving homeowners across Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Since 2005, we have completed over 9,200 roof replacements and maintained a 98% insurance claim approval rate. Our team specializes in storm damage roof repair, hail damage restoration, emergency roof leak repair, and full roof replacement using premium materials from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. We are the Midwest's Claim-Clarity Roofer — meaning we document every inspection with timestamped photos, provide a written report you keep, and never pressure you to file a claim.
Our Roofing Services
Storm Damage Roof Repair: Midwest storms bring high winds, hail, and heavy rain that can compromise your roof's integrity. Our certified inspectors identify all forms of storm damage including missing shingles, granule loss, cracked flashing, and structural damage. We document everything with detailed photography for your insurance claim and handle the entire repair process from start to finish. Our crews are available for emergency tarping and temporary repairs within 24 hours of a major storm event to prevent further water intrusion into your home.
Hail Damage Roof Repair: Hail is one of the most common causes of roof damage in the Midwest. Even small hailstones — as small as 1 inch in diameter — can cause significant damage that leads to leaks and premature roof failure. Our 21-point inspection identifies bruised shingles, dented flashing, cracked vents, and compromised seals that untrained eyes often miss. We photograph every impact point and provide a comprehensive damage report that insurance adjusters accept without dispute.
Complete Roof Replacement: When your roof has reached the end of its useful life or sustained damage beyond repair, a full roof replacement is the most effective way to protect your home. We use factory-trained crews and premium materials backed by industry-leading manufacturer warranties including the GAF Golden Pledge limited warranty — the strongest residential roofing warranty available. A typical roof replacement takes one to two days and includes full cleanup and haul-away of all old materials.
Insurance Claim Assistance: Navigating a homeowner's insurance claim for roof damage is complex and stressful. Best Roofing Pros levels the playing field with expert documentation, adjuster coordination, and supplement filing. Our 98% approval rate means you will likely pay little to nothing out of pocket for storm damage repairs. We attend the adjuster inspection with you, identify all covered damage, and handle all paperwork from initial claim through final payment.
Free Roof Inspections: Every roofing project begins with our comprehensive 21-point inspection. Our licensed inspectors assess your roof's condition, identify damage, and provide an honest assessment with a detailed photo report. There is no obligation and no cost — we believe in earning your trust through transparency. Our inspectors are trained to identify not just obvious damage but also early-stage deterioration that could become a major problem within the next one to three years.
Gutter Installation and Repair: Properly functioning gutters protect your foundation, siding, and landscaping from water damage. We install seamless aluminum gutters, downspout extensions, and leaf guard systems that complement your new roof and provide years of maintenance-free performance. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under your shingles, leading to rot, mold, and structural damage that is far more expensive to repair than the gutters themselves.
Siding Repair and Replacement: Storm damage often affects siding alongside your roof. We offer vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood siding installation with insurance claim bundling so you can restore your entire home exterior in one project. Bundling your roof and siding claim can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs since you only pay one deductible for both repairs when they result from the same storm event.

Our 21-Point Roof Inspection Process
Our comprehensive 21-point roof inspection covers every component of your roofing system. We examine the field shingles for granule loss, cracking, blistering, and impact damage. We inspect all flashing points including valleys, pipe boots, skylights, chimneys, and wall transitions. We check the ridge cap, starter strip, and drip edge for proper installation and storm damage. We assess the decking for soft spots, rot, and structural compromise. We evaluate gutters, downspouts, fascia, and soffit for damage and proper drainage. Finally, we inspect the attic for ventilation adequacy, moisture intrusion, and insulation condition.
Every inspection is documented with timestamped photographs taken from ground level and the roof surface. We use a standardized damage documentation protocol that is accepted by all major insurance carriers including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and Nationwide. Our inspection report includes a severity rating for each damage item, an estimated repair cost, and a clear recommendation for repair versus replacement based on the roof's age, condition, and extent of damage.
Roofing Materials We Install
We install premium roofing materials from the industry's most trusted manufacturers. Our primary shingle line is GAF Timberline HDZ, the best-selling roofing shingle in North America, available in over 20 colors to complement any home exterior. For homeowners seeking maximum performance, we offer GAF Timberline UHDZ ultra-high definition shingles with a 130 mph wind resistance rating. We also install Owens Corning Duration and TruDefinition shingles, CertainTeed Landmark and Presidential shingles, and Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles.
All of our installations use a complete roofing system approach — not just shingles. This includes GAF WeatherWatch or StormGuard ice and water shield at all vulnerable areas, GAF Deck-Armor or FeltBuster synthetic underlayment across the entire deck, GAF Seal-A-Ridge or TimberTex premium ridge cap, and proper ventilation using GAF Cobra ridge vent or box vents. This system approach is required to qualify for the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, which provides 25-year coverage on workmanship and 50-year coverage on materials.
Understanding Your Insurance Claim
Filing a homeowner's insurance claim for roof damage does not have to be stressful. Best Roofing Pros guides you through every step of the process. We start with a free inspection to document all damage. If we find covered damage, we help you file the initial claim with your insurance carrier. We attend the adjuster inspection to ensure all damage is properly identified and documented. If the initial settlement is insufficient, we file supplements to capture missed items. We work directly with your insurance company throughout the process so you can focus on your family and your home.
Hail and wind damage claims must typically be filed within 12 months of the storm event, though some policies allow up to 24 months. Do not wait — storm damage that is not repaired promptly can lead to water intrusion, mold growth, and structural damage that may not be covered by your policy if it results from neglect rather than the original storm. Call us today for a free inspection and we will tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing
How long does a roof replacement take? Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to two days. Larger homes or complex roof designs may take three days. We work in crews of six to eight trained installers to complete your project efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.
How much does a roof replacement cost in the Midwest? The average cost of a residential roof replacement in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska ranges from $8,500 to $18,000 depending on the size of your home, the pitch of your roof, the materials selected, and the complexity of the installation. If your replacement is the result of storm damage, your homeowner's insurance will typically cover most or all of the cost minus your deductible.
Will my insurance cover my roof replacement? If your roof was damaged by a covered peril such as hail, wind, or a falling tree, your homeowner's insurance policy will likely cover the replacement cost minus your deductible. The key is proper documentation of the damage. Our 21-point inspection and photo documentation process has resulted in a 98% claim approval rate for our customers.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage? Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. Signs of hail damage include dented metal components such as gutters, downspouts, and AC units; bruised or dented shingles with a soft spot when pressed; granule loss in gutters and downspouts; and cracked or broken shingles. The only reliable way to assess hail damage is a professional roof inspection. Our inspections are free and come with no obligation.
What is a GAF Master Elite contractor? GAF Master Elite is the highest level of certification available from GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. Only the top 2% of roofing contractors in the United States qualify for Master Elite status. Requirements include proper licensing and insurance, a proven track record of quality installations, a commitment to ongoing training, and a strong reputation in the community. Master Elite contractors can offer the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, which is the strongest residential roofing warranty available anywhere.
Do you offer financing for roof replacements? Yes. We offer flexible financing options for homeowners who need to replace their roof without waiting for an insurance settlement or who need to cover their deductible. Our financing partners offer terms from 12 to 120 months with competitive interest rates. We can typically provide a financing decision within 24 hours of your application.
How soon can you inspect my roof after a storm? We offer same-day and next-day appointments in most service areas. After a major storm event, we deploy additional inspection crews to handle the increased demand. We prioritize homes with visible damage or active leaks. Call 877-513-4946 as soon as possible after a storm to secure your inspection appointment.
Do I need to be home for the roof inspection? You do not need to be present for the exterior roof inspection. However, we recommend being available by phone so our inspector can walk you through their findings in real time. If you would like to be present, we are happy to schedule a time that works for you. We will always send you a complete written report with photos regardless of whether you are home during the inspection.
