Missouri, statewide
Missouri will not tell you whether your roofer is qualified. Nobody checks.
There is no state roofing licence here. No registry, no number to look up, no exam. That is not a scandal, it is just the situation, and it means the burden of checking falls on you. This site explains what actually carries weight, then matches you with independent local roofing professionals who install metal.

Three things worth knowing before you take a quote
Most Missouri roofing content is written to sell a roof. This is written to get you a good match, which means starting with what you can actually verify about whoever ends up on your house, and being straight about what you cannot.
1. There is no state licence, and we checked
Missouri does not license or register roofing contractors at the state level. We did not take that from a trade site: we read the Revised Statutes of Missouri. Chapter 324, the occupations and professions chapter, indexes 187 sections and contains no roofing registration at all.
This matters because it changes the question. "Are you licensed?" gets you a confident yes that means very little in most of the state. The better question is "what does my jurisdiction require, and can you show me that specific thing":
- Kansas City is reported to require a Residential Building Contractor licence obtained by passing an International Code Council exam.
- The City of St. Louis is reported to require a Construction Industry Contractor graduated business licence. Note that is the city, a separate jurisdiction from St. Louis County.
- Most of Missouri requires no roofing-specific credential at all. A roofer working without one there is not doing anything wrong.
We flag the two city requirements as reported rather than verified, because we have not yet read them at the cities' own sites and we would rather say so than pretend. Status as of July 2026. The verification guide covers what to check when there is nothing to look up, which is the common case.
2. Missouri law does have something to say, and it is about your claim
There is one Missouri statute that reaches almost every hail job in the state, and most homeowners have never heard of it. RSMo 407.725, effective 2014, governs how a contractor may behave on insurance-funded work. Three things it addresses:
- A contractor shall not advertise or promise to pay or rebate all or any portion of an insurance deductible as an inducement to the sale of goods or services.
- A contractor shall not represent or negotiate on your behalf on an insurance claim in connection with roof repairs or other exterior work.
- You may cancel the contract within the fifth business day after receiving notice that a claim is not covered by insurance.
Read that list again against the pitch you get after a storm. "We'll cover your deductible" and "we'll handle the insurance company for you" are the two most common openers in storm-chasing sales, and Missouri addresses both. The hail claims guide quotes the section and explains how to use it.
3. Missouri sits in two storm corridors, which is the whole metal argument
Missouri gets both hail and tornadoes. For a lot of homeowners here that means the roof is replaced on storm timing rather than at the end of its service life, sometimes more than once on the same house.
That is the real case for metal, and it is an arithmetic case rather than an aesthetic one: fewer replacement cycles over the time you own the house. We publish no storm statistics on this site, because we have not verified any at a primary source and inventing them would undercut everything else here. The Missouri Metal Roofing Guide lays out the decision without them.

Where we work
All of Missouri. That is deliberate rather than lazy: metal roofing demand here is genuinely statewide, and a meaningful share of it sits outside every metro, on farms and rural properties where metal has been the sensible answer for a long time. Narrowing to the cities would leave that behind.
- St. Louis, St. Louis City and County
- Kansas City, Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass counties
- Springfield, Greene County
- Columbia, Boone County
- Jefferson City, Cole County
- Joplin, Jasper and Newton counties
- Cape Girardeau, Cape Girardeau County
- St. Charles, St. Charles County
- Lee's Summit, Jackson County
How this works
You tell us where you are and what the roof is doing. We pass that to an independent local roofing professional who covers your area, and they contact you to schedule a free quote. We are paid a referral fee by that professional, never by you, and the fee does not change your price. That is the whole model, and it is written out on how we make money.
Questions homeowners ask
- Does a roofer need a licence in Missouri?
- Not from the state. Missouri does not license or register roofing contractors at the state level, which surprises most people. We checked this against the Revised Statutes of Missouri rather than taking anyone's word for it. What exists instead is a short city patchwork: Kansas City and the City of St. Louis are reported to require credentials, and most of the state requires none at all. Our verification guide covers what to check in each case, as of July 2026.
- Can my roofer pay my insurance deductible for me?
- No, and this is worth knowing before someone offers. RSMo 407.725 says a contractor shall not advertise or promise to pay or rebate all or any portion of an insurance deductible as an inducement to the sale of goods or services. The same section says a contractor shall not represent or negotiate on your behalf on a roofing insurance claim. If a crew leads with either offer, that tells you something. Our hail claims guide walks through the whole section.
- Is a metal roof worth it in Missouri?
- The argument here is replacement cycles rather than looks. Missouri sits in both the hail corridor and the tornado corridor, so asphalt in much of the state gets replaced on storm timing rather than on wear. A metal roof is the version of that decision you make once. Whether it pays for you depends on how long you plan to own the house and how your carrier prices impact resistance, which is a conversation worth having before you sign anything.
- Who installs the roof?
- An independent local roofing professional who works your part of Missouri. We are a matching service. We collect what you tell us about the roof, pass it to a pro who covers your area, and they contact you directly to schedule a quote. There is no charge to you at any point.
