Is Your Roof One Hailstorm Away From Draining Your Retirement?
Last spring, another round of severe storms rolled through Taney County. Neighbors around Table Rock Lake, up toward Silver Dollar City, and across Springfield woke up to the same nightmare—hail damage and the dreaded question: "How much is this going to cost me?"
Here's what most folks don't realize until it's too late. Southwest Missouri gets hit with over $25 million in hail damage claims every single year. When your roof takes a beating, insurance companies don't just hand over a check and wish you well. They lowball the estimate, call visible damage "cosmetic," and leave you scrambling to cover a $6,000-$8,000 deductible you didn't see coming. Meanwhile, every contractor with an out-of-state license plate is knocking on your door making promises they won't be around to keep.
You've spent 20 years building equity in your home. The last thing you need is one bad storm—or one bad contractor—turning your biggest asset into your biggest headache right when you're planning retirement.
There's a Smarter Way to Protect Your Home (And Your Savings)
I get it. When you've worked decades to pay off a home around here—whether you're overlooking the hills near Shepherd of the Hills, tucked into a quiet neighborhood in Ozark, or enjoying lake life in Kimberling City—dropping $20,000 on a roof replacement hits different than it would have 20 years ago.
That's why we built Big Chief Roofing the way we did. We're not storm chasers rolling into town after bad weather. We're your neighbors, with headquarters right here in Branson. Our approach comes from the values that inspired our name—just as Native American chiefs stood as guardians of their people, protecting the tribe and planning for seven generations ahead, we protect what matters most to you.
Here's how it actually works: about 40% of our customers have insurance cover most of their roof, but there's a gap—a deductible, depreciation on an older roof, or upgrades insurance won't pay for. That's where our financing steps in. Insurance pays what it pays. Financing covers the rest. Your roof gets done right, and you keep your savings right where they belong.

Roofing Solutions Built for the Ozarks
Residential Roofing
When hailstorms sweep through from Springfield to Table Rock Lake, your home takes the hit. We specialize in Class 3 & 4 impact-resistant shingles that reduce hail damage by 70-80% and qualify you for 15-25% insurance discounts. We handle three scenarios: storm damage where insurance covers the base (we maximize your claim and finance deductibles or upgrades), proactive replacements where you're planning ahead (we help you finance without draining savings), and hybrid situations where insurance covers part but leaves a gap (we bridge what's left).
Commercial Roofing
Your business near Finley Farms, downtown Branson, or the Ozark Mill corridor deserves the same protection. We cover retail spaces, office buildings, and multi-family properties with commercial-grade materials that handle Ozarks weather. We work around your business hours, maximize insurance coverage when claims apply, offer commercial financing for gaps, and minimize downtime. You focus on running your business while we handle the roof—exactly how it should be.
Gutters & Gutter Protection
A fortified home means nothing without proper drainage. We install seamless gutters that handle heavy spring rains throughout Southwest Missouri and keep basements dry when storms hit. Gutters aren't exciting, but they save thousands in foundation repairs. We include gutter assessments with every roof project and can add them to your insurance claim or financing package so everything gets handled at once.
How to Work With Big Chief
Our three-step path mirrors the wisdom of tribal councils: assess the situation honestly, find the right solution together, then execute with honor.
01
Get the Truth About Your Roof
We'll schedule a thorough inspection—usually same day for storm damage. We document everything with CompanyCam and give you a real assessment, not a sales pitch. Then we review your insurance policy and tell you exactly what coverage you have. If you're planning a proactive replacement without a claim, we'll still give you the full picture.
02
Find Your Best Path Forward
For claims, we assist with everything, sit with your adjuster, and catch damage they "miss"—we've recovered over $4.5 million annually by doing this. Then we show you your complete picture with Good-Better-Best options and exact monthly costs for each path. Maybe insurance covers 60% and you finance the rest. Maybe you're paying retail but spreading it over 60 months. We present options, you choose what fits your budget. Zero pressure.
03
Lifetime Relationships
We schedule installation when it works for you. Our crews protect your property, clean up every nail, and do a final walkthrough before we call it done. You get manufacturer warranty plus our workmanship warranty in writing. Most importantly, you get our cell number. Call us in five years—we'll remember your roof and still be here to help.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Real families we've protected across Table Rock Lake, Springfield, and everywhere in between. Real insurance battles we've won—recovering thousands that adjusters "missed." Real peace of mind delivered through quality work and financing that kept retirement savings untouched.
Why Local Homeowners Choose Big Chief Roofing
Storm chasers see you as a transaction. We see you as a neighbor. That difference shows up in every conversation, every claim we fight, every financing option we find, and every roof we install. Just as tribal leaders measured success by the well-being of their people—not personal gain—we measure ours by the families we protect and the community we strengthen.

Questions Folks Actually Ask Us
"How do I know you won't disappear like the last contractor?"
Fair question—storm chasers have burned a lot of people around here. Here's the difference: we have a physical office in Branson you can visit, we're Atlas Pros (they vet contractors before certification), and we've got a BBB accreditation built over years, not months. Our reputation is our business. We're not going anywhere because we live here too. We sponsor local schools, pay off lunch debt for kids, and invest 1% of our revenue back into the communities we serve. That's not storm chaser behavior—that's neighbors taking care of neighbors.
"Can I actually afford this without draining my retirement savings?"
Short answer: yes, and that's exactly why we offer financing. About 40% of our customers use our insurance-to-retail financing model: insurance covers the bulk, financing bridges the deductible or upgrades, and you keep your nest egg intact. Most folks pay $189-$240/month depending on the project scope. Meanwhile, Class 4 shingles save you $200-$400 annually on insurance, which covers a big chunk of that monthly payment. You protect your home and preserve your savings—both matter equally.
"What if insurance only covers part of what I need?"
This is our specialty—we call it bridging the gap. Let's say insurance approves $15,000 but your deductible is $6,000 and you want to upgrade to Class 4 shingles (another $2,000). That's an $8,000 gap. Instead of writing a check that empties your emergency fund, you finance that $8,000 over 36-60 months. Insurance pays their portion, financing covers your portion, and your roof gets done without financial stress. We handle this scenario dozens of times every month—it's not unusual, and it's exactly what our financing model was built to solve.
"Is the Class 4 upgrade actually worth it, or is that just an upsell?"
Let's do the math together. Class 4 shingles cost about $1,500-$2,500 more upfront than standard shingles. Your insurance company gives you a 15-25% discount (around $300/year for most folks in the Springfield-Branson area). That pays for the upgrade in 5-7 years. Then you keep saving for another 20-25 years while your neighbors are filing hail damage claims every other storm. Even if you're financing that upgrade cost at $45/month, you're saving $25/month on insurance from day one. The upgrade pays for itself and then some—that's not an upsell, that's just math. Plus, you're protecting the equity you've built over 20+ years of mortgage payments.
"What if insurance denies my claim or lowballs the estimate?"
This is exactly why we sit with your adjuster during the inspection. Insurance companies bank on homeowners not knowing what to look for—they call legitimate damage "cosmetic," they skip line items like flashing and ice/water shield, and they depreciate older roofs down to pennies. We document everything properly from day one, file supplements when necessary, and escalate when adjusters play games. We've recovered over $4.5 million in insurance claims annually for neighbors in Nixa, Ozark, Kimberling City, and everywhere in between. You're not fighting alone—you've got a warrior in your corner who knows the battlefield.
