So Your Roof Is Leaking AND Your Insurance Is Playing Dumb?
Let's set the scene. A storm just ripped through Taney County, the dog won't stop barking at the sky like that's going to accomplish something, your spouse is stress-Googling "how bad is ceiling water damage," your teenager just walked through the front door and announced that the house is "giving disaster era, no cap," and somewhere in the family group chat Aunt Linda is already typing something about government weather control. You call your insurance company. They put you on hold for 45 minutes, a robot thanks you for your patience six separate times, and then they send out an adjuster who spends roughly the same amount of time on your roof as your kid spends cleaning their room. Which is never.
He hands you a number that doesn't match anything a real Branson roofing contractor quoted you. Nobody explains the difference. And now Uncle Ricky is texting that he's "got a guy" who "just did a whole roof out past Reeds Spring for basically nothing" and you're standing in your driveway wondering if Ricky's guy is actually licensed or if this is going to end up like the time Ricky helped with the back deck. Meanwhile your father-in-law has pulled up a YouTube video on his phone and is explaining to everyone at dinner that roofing is actually pretty simple once you understand the basics. He watched a whole series on it. He's confident.
You Deserve a Roofer Who's Actually in Your Corner.
You did everything right. You've owned your home, kept up with it, and paid your insurance every single month for years. And now the one time you actually need that policy, the process feels like it was specifically designed for someone who speaks fluent insurance jargon and has absolutely nothing better to do for 44 days. I get it. That frustration is legitimate, and it's not your fault. The system isn't built to explain itself to you, and most roofing contractors aren't built to explain it either. That's the part that genuinely bothers me, and it's the reason we do what we do.
My name is Tyler, and I started Big Chief Roofing because I believe southwest Missouri homeowners deserve a straight-talking advocate, not another yard sign crew that blows through after a storm and disappears before the warranty ever matters. The name Big Chief isn't just a name. It's a commitment rooted in the Native American tradition of the chief as a servant-leader, someone who puts their community first, fights for the people in their care, and does what's right even when it's the harder path. We've helped hundreds of families across Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Nixa, Cassville, and the communities stretched along Table Rock Lake recover every dollar their policy owed them, including money they didn't even know was coming to them. That's not a marketing line. That's just what Tuesday looks like around here.

What We Do for Branson Homeowners.
From a quick roof repair in Hollister to a full storm damage replacement in Branson Hills, every service we offer comes with a straight answer, a fair price, and a team that picks up the phone. Here's the full list of what we handle for homeowners across Taney, Stone, Christian, Barry, and Lawrence Counties.
Branson Roof Repair
Learn MoreWhether you've got a few missing shingles, a leak showing up on the ceiling right before your family's holiday gathering at the house (the worst possible timing, always without fail), or some flashing that's decided to stop doing its one job, our Branson roof repair team gets out fast and fixes the problem correctly. We document everything, price it honestly, and if the damage is storm-related we walk you through exactly how to handle the insurance side so you're not leaving thousands of dollars on the table because nobody explained what you were owed.
Branson Roof Replacement
Learn MoreWhen a repair just isn't the right call anymore and your roof has had a longer run than it was ever designed for, our Branson roof replacement service is where we do our best work. We generate our own professional scope before your insurance company ever sends theirs, so when the adjuster's estimate arrives we can compare them line by line and identify exactly what was missed or underpaid. We have handled hundreds of Branson roof replacements, and the homeowners who came out with the most money in their pocket were the ones who had an advocate before the first insurance number hit their kitchen table.
Branson Roof Installation
Learn MoreNew construction, a major home renovation, or a long overdue upgrade from a roof that's been quietly giving up for the last three winters, our Branson roof installation team handles the complete job from decking to ridge cap. We help you pick the right materials for the Missouri climate, including Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that can meaningfully reduce your annual homeowner's insurance premium. When we tell a homeowner that a Class 4 upgrade can drop their insurance cost by 5 to 35 percent depending on the carrier, they always ask why nobody mentioned that before. We ask the same question every time.
Branson Roof Inspection
Learn MoreA professional Branson roof inspection is the single most overlooked thing a homeowner can do for themselves before something goes sideways. We come out, we go up, and we document everything we find in photos with honest, plain-language notes and give you a clear report of your roof's actual condition. You might have storm damage you have no idea about. You might have granule loss your insurance carrier is going to flag at renewal. You might have nothing wrong at all and you just get peace of mind, which after the last few years of insurance premium increases, is genuinely worth something.
Branson Storm Damage Roof Repair
Learn MoreWhen a storm rolls through the communities around Table Rock Lake, Branson Landing, or out toward the Forsyth corridor, the phones light up fast. Our storm damage roof repair team responds quickly, documents everything before anything gets touched, and helps you build the strongest possible insurance claim from the very first call. We've watched initial adjuster estimates on storm-damaged roofs in this area come in thousands of dollars short of the real number, and we've helped homeowners recover that gap through the supplement process because we knew what to look for and how to document it.
Branson Roofing Shingles
Learn MoreBranson homeowners have more shingle options right now than Grandma has casserole recipes she's convinced you're going to love this time. And honestly, the material conversation is one of our favorites because it's where we can actually save you money that goes beyond just the roof itself. We carry architectural shingles, Class 3 impact-resistant shingles, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles certified to reduce your homeowner's insurance premium with most major carriers active in Missouri. If your rates have been climbing, the conversation about an upgrade pays for itself faster than you'd expect.
Branson Gutter Cleaning
Learn MoreClogged gutters are how a manageable roof situation turns into a foundation problem, a fascia rot problem, a water intrusion problem, and a very tense conversation with your spouse that starts with "I told you we should have called someone." Our gutter cleaning service gets them clear, checks for hidden damage while we're already up there, and makes sure water is draining away from your home the way it's supposed to. It's quick, straightforward, and the kind of thing that saves you from a much worse call in the spring.
Branson Gutter Repair
Learn MoreIf your gutters are pulling away from the fascia, leaking at the seams, or directing water into places it absolutely should not be going, our Branson gutter repair service fixes the actual problem. We're not going to tell you everything needs to be replaced when a repair is the honest answer, and we're not going to patch something that should just be replaced. We tell you what's actually happening up there and fix exactly that. No drama, no upsell, no awkward conversation about why the estimate tripled.
Branson Seamless Gutter Installation
Learn MoreSectional gutters have seams, and seams are where leaks start. Our seamless gutter installation in Branson means your new gutters are custom-formed to fit your home's exact dimensions, with significantly fewer leak points and a cleaner finished look. We fabricate them on-site, our crew installs everything properly sloped and sealed, and the result is a system built to handle Missouri rainfall, ice, and whatever the Ozarks decides to throw at it this winter.
Branson Gutter Replacement
Learn MoreIf your gutters are beyond repair, visibly sagging, bent, rusted through, or just genuinely embarrassing to look at when company comes over, our Branson gutter replacement service handles the full swap. We remove the old system, install properly sloped replacements with the right outlets in the right locations, and seal everything so that water goes where it's supposed to and not into your foundation at midnight during a heavy rain when you're already asleep and definitely not going to enjoy finding out about it.
Branson Gutter Guards
Learn MoreIf you're tired of climbing a ladder twice a year to dig wet leaves out of your gutters while your spouse stands below offering suggestions from a safe distance, our gutter guard installation is the permanent answer to that ritual. We carry quality gutter guard systems that actually perform in the Ozarks climate, keep debris out without collapsing under Missouri ice loads, and require dramatically less maintenance than whatever situation is currently up there. One install and that particular argument is over for good.
Working With Big Chief Is Pretty Simple, Actually.
01
We Inspect Your Roof. Honestly. For Free.
We come to your home, go up on the roof ourselves, document all damage and conditions with professional photos and detailed notes, and generate our own estimate before your insurance company's estimate ever enters the picture. By the time we come back down the ladder, you know exactly what your roof needs and what it's worth, and you have the evidence to back it up before anyone else tries to tell you a different number.
02
We Handle the Hard Part. Together.
We sit down with you, walk through your insurance policy in plain language a real person can understand, compare our scope to the adjuster's estimate line by line, and fight for every dollar your policy owes you including recoverable depreciation that most homeowners never knew was coming to them. We explain the process at every step so you're never left wondering what's happening with your own money while your carrier takes 44 days to figure out their next move.
03
We Install Your Roof and Stand Behind It.
Our crew completes the job on the timeline we committed to, with the materials we agreed on, and with quality control that doesn't disappear when the truck leaves. When the job is done, we walk you through the finished work, get your warranty documentation in order, remind you about the recoverable depreciation check if there's more money coming your way, and let you know we're still the team you call three years from now when something comes up. We don't disappear. That's not how we operate.
Don't Take Our Word for It. Ask Your Neighbors.
In a community as close-knit as the Branson area, a solid recommendation means everything and a bad experience travels fast through every church, boat ramp, and family dinner within a 30-mile radius. Read what real homeowners across Taney, Stone, and Christian Counties are saying about Big Chief Roofing and what it felt like to finally have someone in their corner during the most confusing home ownership experience of their lives.
Not All Roofing Contractors Are Built the Same.
Most roofing companies show up with a crew, put shingles on, and move on to the next job. We built Big Chief Roofing to be the contractor we would want to hire for our own home, which means going a lot further than just swapping out damaged shingles. Here's how we compare to the average contractor operating in the Branson market.
Big Chief Roofing
We generate our own professional scope before the adjuster arrives, compare estimates line by line, fight for underpaid items, and walk you through recoverable depreciation from start to finish so nothing your policy owes you gets left behind.
Every roof Big Chief installs is backed by the Directorii $250,000 workmanship protection guarantee, a real, verified third-party financial commitment that puts an actual price tag behind our word on every single project.
Through our Branson Strong program, we give 1% of every project's revenue back to local Ozarks ministries and community initiatives because this is our home, our kids go to school here, and we believe businesses have a responsibility to the communities they serve.
We pay off school lunch debt in the communities we serve across our five-county area so that no child is going without a meal because of a balance. This is not a marketing initiative. It is a non-negotiable part of how Big Chief operates.
We provide free roofs to qualifying veterans, families in genuine financial need, and community members who fall through the gaps of the insurance system and have nowhere else to turn. This is a real program with real families, not a press release.
Big Chief Roofing lives here. We are Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce members, BBB Accredited, Google Guaranteed, and our office is a real building with a real address, not a pickup truck with a magnetic sign and an out-of-state phone number.
The Other Guys
Most contractors accept the adjuster's number, subtract their margin, and move on. What the insurance company underpays is generally not their problem to solve.
Standard contractor workmanship warranties are only as strong as the company standing behind them, and some of those companies are significantly harder to reach six months after the final check clears.
Most roofing companies direct their revenue straight to their own bottom line. Structured community investment is not typically part of their business model.
Competitor roofing companies do not typically fund school lunch programs for local kids. Their charitable activity, if it exists, generally runs through the standard end-of-year tax checklist.
Most competitors do not offer free roofing services to families in need. The math doesn't work for a company whose only loyalty is to the transaction.
The Questions Everyone's Thinking But Not Always Asking.
Will filing a roof insurance claim raise my rates or get my policy cancelled?
This is the fear that stops more legitimate claims from being filed than anything else in our market, and it deserves an honest answer rather than a sales pitch. In Missouri, a single weather-related insurance claim does not automatically trigger a premium increase or a non-renewal. State regulations govern what carriers can and cannot do in response to a valid storm claim. That said, your specific policy language, your carrier's internal guidelines, and your prior claims history all play a role in what happens after a claim. What we have consistently seen working with homeowners across Branson, Forsyth, Hollister, and the communities around Table Rock Lake is that the homeowners who end up in the worst financial position are usually not the ones who filed a claim. They are the ones who delayed long enough that the damage compounded, or who had a roof that was already being flagged by their carrier for age-related deterioration. If you have received a premium increase notice, a non-renewal letter, or a storm damage concern and you're not sure what to do with it, call us before you make any decisions. We will help you understand your actual options before you commit to any path.You are probably underestimating the damage, and that is not your fault. Hail impact is nearly impossible to see from the ground, and what looks like nothing serious from the driveway can represent documented, legitimate covered storm damage when a trained inspector is standing on the roof with a camera. Insurance carriers now use AI-powered aerial drones to inspect roofs in Missouri, which means your carrier may already have data about your roof that you haven't seen yet. Getting a free inspection from a Branson roofing contractor who gives you an independent honest assessment before any adjuster gets involved is your most important first step, because you need your own professional documentation before anyone else tells you what they think happened to your home. Big Chief inspects at no cost and gives you the actual findings, whether there's a valid claim or not, with no pressure attached.
How do I even know if the storm damage is bad enough to file a claim?
From the ground, it almost never looks that bad. That's the problem that costs Branson-area homeowners thousands of dollars every year. Hail damage, granule loss, cracked shingles, and compromised flashing that have fully crossed the threshold of a valid insurance claim are largely invisible from the driveway. You can have significant covered storm damage on your roof and have absolutely no idea because there is nothing dramatic to see from the yard. As a licensed Branson roofing contractor, we offer a completely free professional roof inspection before any insurance numbers enter the conversation. We go up, document every condition we find with photos and professional notes, and give you an honest assessment of what is actually up there. If it is a legitimate claim situation, you will know that with evidence. If it is not, we will tell you that too and explain exactly what your roof actually needs. No pressure, no drama, no inflated damage reports designed to manufacture a claim that isn't there.
Why is the contractor's quote so much higher than what my insurance company wants to pay?
Because the adjuster and an independent contractor are looking at the same roof with very different objectives. The adjuster's job is to write a scope that satisfies their carrier's financial interest. The contractor's job is to write a scope that accurately reflects what the roof genuinely needs to be restored correctly. These two numbers are not supposed to match, and the gap between them is exactly where most homeowners in this area get hurt without ever knowing it happened. The good news is that the adjuster's first estimate is not the final word on your claim. We generate our own detailed scope before the insurance estimate arrives, and when theirs comes in lower we compare them line by line, document every item that was missed or underpaid, and submit a supplement with professional evidence to back it up. In the Branson market, the recovered difference on a typical storm claim through this process frequently runs from $2,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the roof and the scope. You are not stuck with whatever number they mailed you first.
How do I know you're not one of those storm-chasing companies that takes a deposit and disappears?
Ask around. That is genuinely the most honest answer we can give you, and it is more powerful than any credential we can list. Big Chief Roofing is not a crew following storm tracks across three states on a seasonal circuit. We have a permanent local office, a real team that lives and works in this community, a Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce membership, BBB accreditation, and Google Guaranteed verification that requires background screening and ongoing accountability. Our customers are your neighbors. Their names are on our Google reviews. Ask them. If you go to church in the Branson area, odds are pretty strong that someone in your congregation has worked with us. If you fish out at Table Rock, the same is likely true. We show up because we live here, our families are here, and our reputation is built in the same five counties where you are deciding whether or not to trust us with your home.
I already got a check from my insurance that seems way lower than what this is going to actually cost. Is it too late?
There is a very good chance you have not yet received everything your policy owes you, and no, it is almost never as final as it feels in that moment. Most insurance claims on storm-damaged roofs in Missouri are paid in two stages. The first check is the Actual Cash Value payment, which is the replacement cost of your roof minus the depreciation your carrier calculated. The second payment, called recoverable depreciation, comes after the roof work is completed and you submit final documentation to your carrier confirming the job is done. A significant number of homeowners we talk to across Taney and Stone Counties never see that second check, not because they didn't deserve it, but because nobody told them it existed, or because the deadline to submit the documentation passed while they were trying to figure out who to call. We walk every single client through this process from the beginning so nothing your policy owed you disappears back into the carrier's pocket on a technicality. If you are holding a check that does not cover what your roof actually costs, call us before you do anything else. There may still be money coming your way.
Proudly Serving the Ozarks.
Big Chief Roofing covers five counties across southwest Missouri from one local team with one local address. If your home is in any of these communities, you have a real Branson-based roofing contractor ready to show up, go up, and give you a straight answer.
Taney County Roofing Contractor
Taney County is home base for Big Chief Roofing, covering Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Rockaway Beach, and the stretches of community running along Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake. As your Taney County roofing contractor, we have more installations in this area than anywhere else in our market. The housing stock in Taney County skews heavily toward homes built between the 1980s and early 2000s, which means a significant percentage of roofs in this area are right in the sweet spot of the replacement window, and the homeowners we serve here know the value of working with a contractor who will still answer the phone when they call next spring.
Stone County Roofing Contractor
Stone County communities, including Kimberling City, Reeds Spring, Branson West, Blue Eye, and Galena, are home to some of the most established and long-tenured homeowners in the entire region, many of whom have owned their homes for decades and want nothing more than a roofer who gives them a real answer without wasting their afternoon. As your Stone County roofing contractor, we specialize in working with homeowners who know what a dollar is worth and have zero patience for someone who can't explain what's actually happening on their roof. Silver Dollar City-area and Indian Point homeowners know us well, and that reputation is something we take seriously every time we pull onto a new driveway out here.
Christian County Roofing Contractor
Christian County, anchored by Nixa and Ozark, has grown faster than any other county in our service area over the last decade, bringing with it a mix of new construction and established neighborhoods where roofs are starting to show their age. As your Christian County roofing contractor, Big Chief Roofing understands the local insurance landscape for this corridor, the storm patterns that run through this part of the Ozarks, and the specific needs of a community that is growing fast but still built on the same values of trust and straight-dealing that define southwest Missouri at its best.
Barry County Roofing Contractor
From Cassville to Monett to Shell Knob, Barry County is some of the most genuine, no-pretense community in all of southwest Missouri. As your Barry County roofing contractor, we serve homeowners who are practical, skeptical of anyone who can't give them a clear price and a clear explanation, and completely finished with contractors who make big promises and then get hard to reach. Barry County families have trusted Big Chief to fight underpaid insurance claims, replace aging roofs before another winter makes things worse, and give them honest advice even when the honest advice is that they don't need us yet.
Lawrence County Roofing Contractor
Lawrence County communities including Monett, Aurora, and Mt. Vernon are working communities built on agriculture, trades, and small business, with homeowners who have been in their homes for a long time and want a roofing contractor whose word means something. As your Lawrence County roofing contractor, Big Chief Roofing brings the same education-first, no-pressure approach to every conversation in this county that we bring everywhere else. Your home deserves a team that is honest before the contract is signed, shows up when they said they would, and is still reachable long after the final invoice is paid.
