Missouri Cost Drivers
- Hail frequency: Spring storms can trigger demand spikes and backlog pricing.
- Humidity and heat: Ventilation upgrades are common to protect shingle life.

- Deck condition: Older housing stock may need plywood replacement allowances.
Insurance Strategy
- Confirm if your policy has a separate wind/hail deductible.
- Request claim documentation before selecting contractor scope.
- Compare insurer estimate to contractor line items (tear-off, underlayment, flashings).

- Verify workmanship warranty length and who honors it.
- Refuse vague descriptions like “standard roofing package.”
