Roofing needs around Joplin change with the age of the town, the style of the homes, and which side of a storm line a neighborhood sat on. This page covers the areas in the referral zone and what tends to go wrong with roofs in each.
Older homes, some with steep pitches, layered roof history, and chimneys that need careful flashing. Original details are worth preserving, and access can be tight on smaller lots.

Growing subdivisions with newer architectural shingle roofs. Storm documentation and warranty questions are the common calls after hail moves through.
