Teague Roofing Plus was founded in 1971 by Kenneth Teague in Springfield, Missouri. Today, owner Josh Tessmer runs the company with that same commitment to honest work and quality craftsmanship. We are based at 6149 US-60 in Springfield, and our crews serve Taney County homeowners on a regular basis.
Hollister sits just across the bridge from Branson’s entertainment district and draws millions of visitors annually. That kind of activity drives a strong short-term rental and vacation property market, which means roofs here take a beating and owners notice problems fast. Homes in Hollister range from early-1900s-era properties near the historic Tudor-style main street district to newer builds serving the tourism economy.
Taney County falls within the NWS Springfield warning area. The lake and river topography around Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake creates localized weather effects that accelerate shingle aging. We handle full roof replacements in Hollister from start to finish, including permits, material selection, tear-off, and cleanup.
Teague Roofing Plus is not a franchise. We are not an out-of-state crew that rolls into Taney County after a storm and disappears when the work runs dry. Josh Tessmer lives and works in this region, and our company has served Southwest Missouri homeowners since 1971. We have completed over 5,000 roofs across the area.
We are an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, a designation fewer than 1% of roofing companies in the country earn. Owens Corning reviews our work, vets our business practices, 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 Taney County. Not a call center. Not a contractor who found your address on a storm map. That is the difference a local company with 50 years of roots in this region makes on every job.
Taney County sits within the same NWS Springfield warning area as Greene County. The river valleys and lake basins around Lake Taneycomo channel wind and concentrate moisture, which can make storm damage here more severe than radar alone suggests. Hail that measures a quarter-inch or larger can bruise shingle mats without leaving marks you can see from the ground.
If your Hollister 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 your claim window narrows.
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 your 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 has years of life left, we will tell you that. If it needs replacement, we explain why and give you a clear written estimate. No pressure. No obligation. No surprise costs down the road.
Most Hollister 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 in our guide to insurance claim assistance in Southwest Missouri. There is no extra charge for this service.
Hollister’s housing stock runs the full range, from early-1900s properties near the historic Tudor-style main street district to mid-century homes and newer vacation rental builds. A significant portion of that stock is past its replacement window or approaching it fast. The area’s humidity from Lake Taneycomo, combined with freeze-thaw cycling at lake elevation and summer heat, breaks down shingles faster than homeowners often expect.
Illustrative scenario: A Hollister homeowner with a vacation rental property notices granule buildup in the gutters after a wet spring. The roof was installed in 2002 and has never been replaced. Teague inspects, finds widespread granule loss and early shingle mat failure across multiple planes, pulls the Taney County permit, and completes a full tear-off and Class 4 replacement in two days. Read our post on when to repair versus replace your roof if you are unsure which option fits your situation.
Taney County’s combination of lake humidity, freeze-thaw cycling, summer heat, and hail exposure makes material selection especially important in Hollister. We strongly recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles for most homes here. Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for asphalt shingles, tested to handle large hail. In many cases, upgrading to Class 4 can also lower your homeowner’s insurance premium, so check with your insurer before finalizing your material choice.
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 Hollister 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 metal roofing systems for homeowners who want maximum longevity in a high-humidity, high-traffic environment.
Hollister falls under Taney County jurisdiction for building permits. We recommend confirming your specific permit requirements with the City of Hollister or Taney County before any roof replacement begins. Requirements can vary depending on whether your property sits inside city limits or in the unincorporated county.
We handle every permit on every job. You do not have to navigate the paperwork, the portal, or the approval timeline. Before we schedule your replacement, we confirm exactly what is required for your address, pull the permit, and build the job schedule around the approval. The goal is a smooth process with no surprises on your end.
Hollister’s position along Lake Taneycomo creates a moisture-rich environment that most inland Ozarks towns do not experience. Humidity from the lake accelerates the breakdown of shingle granules and promotes moss and algae growth on north-facing roof planes. When that moisture combines with winter freeze-thaw cycles, water works into small gaps in flashing and under cracked shingles, then expands as it freezes overnight. Over 100 cycles each winter, that damage adds up quietly.
Summer heat then drives temperatures on dark roofing surfaces well above the air temperature, accelerating granule loss and drying out the shingle mat. Combined with hail exposure in the spring, the average Hollister roof faces stress in every season. Check our 2026 storm season prep guide for steps you can take before the next round of severe weather arrives.
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 from years of lake-area moisture. Any damaged 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. 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 our crew leaves your property.
From permits to materials to storm claims, here is what Hollister homeowners ask us most about roof replacement.
Hollister falls under Taney County jurisdiction for building permits, and requirements can vary depending on whether your property is inside Hollister city limits or in unincorporated Taney County. Full roof replacements and any structural changes typically require a permit before work begins. We recommend confirming with the City of Hollister or Taney County Planning to verify the requirements for your specific address.
Teague Roofing Plus handles all permits on every replacement job. Before we schedule your project, we confirm exactly what is required, pull the permit, and build the timeline around the approval. You do not have to navigate any of that yourself.
The answer depends on the age of your roof, the scope of the damage, and how many layers of shingles are already on it. A repair often makes sense on a newer roof with isolated damage to a single plane or a small area of flashing. A full replacement typically makes more sense when shingles are 20 or more years old, when hail has bruised multiple planes, or when the underlying decking shows moisture infiltration from years of lake-area humidity.
Our free roof inspection gives you a clear answer with photos and a written report. We explain what we find and give you a recommendation with no pressure to sign anything. Our blog post on repair versus replacement walks through exactly how to think about this decision.
Hollister's location along Lake Taneycomo brings a level of humidity most Ozarks communities do not experience. That moisture accelerates granule loss and promotes biological growth on shingles over time. Add in more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles each winter, summer heat that pushes rooftop surface temperatures well above the air temperature, and the hail exposure that comes with being in the NWS Springfield warning area, and you have a roof that faces serious stress in every season.
Homes in Hollister with original shingles from the late 1990s or early 2000s are often at or past the end of their effective life, even if no active leaks are visible yet. Read our guide on what hail damage looks like on a roof so you know what signs to watch for after a storm.
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 missed during the review.

If you want to understand the 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 Hollister 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 region that sits within the NWS Springfield severe weather warning area and experiences high lake-area humidity year-round, that level of protection is important. Class 4 shingles may also qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium, so check with your insurer before choosing materials.
We install the full line of Owens Corning architectural shingles, including their Duration and TruDefinition series. We never install standard 3-tab shingles. For vacation rental properties or homeowners who want maximum longevity in a high-humidity environment, 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.
Hollister homes face lake humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and storm exposure every single year. If your roof is aging out or took storm damage, the time to find out is before the next big weather event 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. Call 417-883-7663 or reach out through our contact page.
