Teague Roofing Plus was founded in 1971 by Kenneth Teague in Springfield, Missouri. Today, owner Josh Tessmer carries that same commitment to honest work and quality materials. We are based at 6149 US-60 in Springfield, just 8 miles northeast of Battlefield, and our crews work throughout Greene County every week.
Battlefield has a high median household income and a low poverty rate, which points to a community of well-maintained homes where homeowners take property care seriously. Many homes in Battlefield were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which means a significant number of roofs are now hitting their 20 to 25 year replacement window. Even a well-maintained roof from 2003 is not young anymore after two decades of southwest Missouri weather.
Battlefield sits on the southern edge of Greene County near the Christian County line, directly in the path of storm systems that track northeast along the James River corridor. Greene County carries a very severe hail zone rating from the NWS Springfield. We handle full roof replacements in Battlefield from start to finish, including permits, material selection, tear-off, and cleanup.
Teague Roofing Plus is not a franchise. We are not a storm-chasing crew that rolls into Battlefield after a hail event and disappears when the work dries up. Josh Tessmer lives and works in this community, and our company has served Southwest Missouri homeowners since 1971. We have completed over 5,000 roofs across the region.
We are an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, a designation fewer than 1% of roofing companies nationally ever earn. Owens Corning reviews our work, vets our business, and confirms we meet their standards every year. We are also BBB A+ rated since December 2019, members of the Home Builders Association of Springfield, and Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorites in 2022 and 2024. We are MO-licensed and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
When you call 417-883-7663, you reach real people who know Battlefield. Not a call center. Not an out-of-state contractor looking for a quick score after a storm. That is the difference between hiring a local company with roots in this region and hiring someone who found your address on a storm map.
Greene County sits in a very severe hail zone, the highest risk rating from NWS Springfield. Battlefield’s position along the southern Greene County line puts it directly in the path of storm systems that push northeast out of the James River corridor. On March 14, 2025, hail between 1.0 and 1.25 inches struck the greater Springfield area, impacting over 26,000 properties. Storms that size leave marks on shingles that are often invisible from the ground.
If your roof took storm damage, the clock on your insurance claim starts the moment the storm passes. A storm damage inspection from our team documents everything before conditions change and coverage opportunities close.
Every free inspection starts on your roof, not in a sales pitch. We climb up, check every plane, examine the flashing around your chimney and vents, look at the ridge caps, and photograph what we find. You get a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we see. If your roof still has years of life left, we will tell you. If it needs replacement, we explain why and give you a clear written estimate. No pressure. No obligation. That is how we have operated since 1971, and it is not changing.
Most Battlefield homeowners deal with a roof insurance claim only once or twice in their lives. Our team handles them every week. After a storm, we inspect your roof at no charge, document every piece of damage with photos, and schedule a time to meet your insurance adjuster on site. We walk the roof with them to make sure nothing gets missed or undercounted.
We document the damage, meet your adjuster on your roof, and make sure nothing gets overlooked. Learn more about how the process works on our insurance claim assistance page. There is no extra charge for this service, and we never promise to cover your deductible or guarantee specific claim outcomes.
Battlefield’s housing stock leans toward newer, well-kept homes, many built between 1995 and 2010. Those roofs are now 15 to 30 years old. Even if a roof has never visibly leaked, age breaks down the shingle mat from the inside out. Granule loss from summer heat and hail impact work quietly until a single hard winter exposes what has been building for years.
Illustrative scenario: A Battlefield homeowner in an upscale subdivision off Route FF notices storm damage after a June hail event. The original 2003 architectural shingles show hail bruising and cracked ridge caps. Teague documents the damage, meets the insurance adjuster on site, handles all permit coordination with Greene County, and completes a full tear-off and Class 4 replacement in two days. Read our post on when to repair versus replace your roof for guidance on making this decision.
Greene County sits in a very severe hail zone. That single fact should drive your material choice. We strongly recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles for Battlefield homes. Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for asphalt shingles, tested to withstand large hail. In many cases, upgrading to Class 4 shingles can also lower your homeowner’s insurance premium, so check with your insurer before you finalize your material selection.
As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we install their full line of architectural shingles, including options rated for high wind and impact resistance. We never install standard 3-tab shingles. Every system we put on a Battlefield home includes proper underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves, drip edge at every roof edge, and fully sealed flashing around all penetrations. We also install standing seam metal roofing systems for homeowners who want maximum longevity and the lowest long-term maintenance.
Battlefield falls within Greene County jurisdiction. Permit requirements for roof replacement should be confirmed with the City of Battlefield or Greene County Building Services at 940 Boonville Ave in Springfield. Unincorporated Greene County follows the 2012 International Residential Code, and permits are typically required for full replacements and any structural changes to a roof system.
You do not have to navigate the permit process on your own. Teague Roofing Plus handles all permit coordination on every job. We confirm the exact requirements for your address before work begins, pull the permit, and schedule around the approval timeline. The goal is a smooth project with no surprises and no paperwork headaches for you.
Battlefield sits at the southern edge of Greene County, where storm tracks moving northeast along the James River corridor hit directly. The same weather patterns that wear down roofs in Springfield hit Battlefield just as hard. Southwest Missouri experiences over 100 freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Water works into small gaps in the flashing or under cracked shingles, freezes overnight, expands those gaps, and repeats the process all winter long. Valley flashing failure and shingle cracking near the eaves are two of the most common problems we find during inspections in this area.
Summer heat compounds the problem. Mid-to-upper 90s through July and August accelerate granule loss on aging shingles, stripping away the protective coating that keeps moisture out. Combined with spring hail and winter ice, the average Battlefield roof faces stress in all four seasons. Check our 2026 storm season prep guide for steps you can take before severe weather hits.
A full roof replacement with Teague Roofing Plus starts with a free inspection, not a sales pitch. We document what we find, walk you through your material options, and give you a written estimate. If a storm caused the damage, we handle the insurance paperwork and meet your adjuster on site before any work begins.
On replacement day, our local crew strips everything down to the wood decking. We check every board for soft spots, rot, or water damage. Any compromised sections get replaced before new material goes on top. Then we install ice and water shield along the eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, drip edge at every edge, and your new Owens Corning architectural shingles built to code. After the last shingle is in place, we run magnetic nail sweepers across your yard, driveway, and walkways. We finish with a full walkthrough so you can see the completed work before we leave your property.
From permits to materials to storm claims, here is what Battlefield homeowners ask us most about roof replacement.
Battlefield falls within Greene County jurisdiction, so permit requirements depend on whether your property is inside the city limits or in unincorporated Greene County. Unincorporated Greene County follows the 2012 International Residential Code, and permits for full roof replacements are generally required. We recommend confirming the exact requirements for your address with the City of Battlefield or Greene County Building Services at 940 Boonville Ave, Springfield.
The good news is you do not have to figure this out yourself. Teague Roofing Plus handles all permits on every replacement job. We confirm the requirements before work begins, pull the permit, and manage the approval timeline so the project moves forward without delays or surprises on your end.
The answer depends on the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how many shingle layers are already on it. A repair often makes sense on a newer roof with isolated damage in one area. A full replacement typically makes more sense when shingles are 20 or more years old, when hail has bruised multiple planes across the roof, or when the decking underneath shows signs of moisture infiltration.
Our free roof inspection gives you a clear, honest answer. We photograph everything, explain what we find, and give you a written recommendation with no pressure to sign anything that day. Our blog post on repair versus replacement also walks through exactly how to think about this decision before you call.
Greene County sits in a very severe hail zone, the highest risk rating available. Hail can strip granules off shingles and bruise the mat underneath without leaving visible marks you can spot from the ground. Over time, that hidden damage lets moisture in and shortens your roof's life significantly. Our guide on what hail damage looks like on a roof walks through the specific signs to watch for after a storm.
Battlefield also faces more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and widens those gaps over and over through the season. Summer temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s then dry out and shrink the shingles in the other direction. That back-and-forth puts stress on every component of your roof system throughout the year, often shortening an otherwise healthy roof's lifespan by several years.
Yes. Insurance claim assistance is a standard part of what we do after a storm. We inspect your roof at no charge, document every piece of damage with dated photos, and meet your insurance adjuster on site. We walk the roof with them so nothing gets undercounted or overlooked in the claim review.
We do not promise to cover your deductible or guarantee specific claim outcomes. What we do is make sure your claim reflects the full scope of what your home actually needs. There is no extra charge for this service, and it applies to every storm-related inspection we complete in Battlefield.
If you want to understand the full process before you call, our guide on how to file a roof insurance claim in Southwest Missouri walks through every step from inspection to settlement.
For most Battlefield homes, we recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles from Owens Corning. Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for asphalt shingles, designed to handle large hail. In a very severe hail zone like Greene County, that level of protection is not optional for most homeowners. Upgrading to Class 4 shingles may also qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium, so check with your insurer before finalizing your material choice.
We install the full line of Owens Corning architectural shingles, including the Duration and TruDefinition series. We never install standard 3-tab shingles on any home we work on. For homeowners who want the longest possible lifespan with the least ongoing maintenance, standing seam metal roofing is also an option we install. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we match the right product to your home, your budget, and your insurance situation every time.
Battlefield homes face hail, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat every single year. If your roof is aging out or took storm damage, the time to find out is before the next big storm arrives. We will come take a look at no cost to you. No pressure. No obligation. Just an honest assessment from a team that has been replacing roofs across Southwest Missouri since 1971.
