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, about 40 miles northeast of Monett along US-60, and our crews serve Barry and Lawrence County homeowners every week.
Monett has grown steadily, going from 7,930 residents in 2000 to 9,613 in 2020. That growth means the city carries a wide mix of housing ages, from older railroad-era neighborhoods near downtown to newer residential developments on the edges of town. Roofs installed in the 1990s and early 2000s are now hitting or well past their replacement window.
Monett sits at the western edge of the NWS Springfield warning area, in a corridor where storms track west to east along US-60 out of Oklahoma and Kansas. Hail events, high winds, and hard freeze-thaw cycles all shorten roof life here. We handle full roof replacements in Monett 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 Monett after a hail event and disappears when the work slows down. 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 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 this part of Missouri. Not a call center. Not an out-of-state contractor chasing storm maps. That is the difference between a local company with 50 years of roots and someone who found your address after last week’s hail report.
Barry and Lawrence County sit in a storm corridor between Springfield and the Kansas and Oklahoma borders. Hail events tracking west to east along US-60 regularly hit Monett hard. Hail that size leaves damage on shingles that is not always visible from the ground, but it breaks down the shingle mat and opens the door to moisture intrusion over time.
After a storm rolls through, the clock on your insurance claim starts immediately. A storm damage inspection from our team documents everything before conditions change and before out-of-state storm chasers start knocking on your door.
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 that. If it needs replacement, we explain why and give you a clear written estimate with no pressure and no obligation.
Most Monett 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.
Monett’s housing stock runs the full range, from older railroad-era homes near the BNSF line to newer subdivisions on the city’s growing edges. Many roofs installed in the 1990s and early 2000s are now 20 to 30 years old. Even a roof that has never visibly leaked can be failing from the inside out. Granule loss from summer heat and hail impact accumulates quietly until a single wet winter reveals what has been building for years.
Illustrative scenario: A Monett homeowner with a 1998-built house notices dark streaks on the ceiling after back-to-back spring storms. The original shingles show hail bruising on multiple roof planes. Teague inspects within 48 hours, documents the damage, meets the insurance adjuster, pulls the Monett 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 for help making this decision.
Barry and Lawrence County sit in a region where severe hail is a regular threat. Storms track west to east along US-60, and the open terrain between Monett and the Oklahoma border gives them room to build. That risk makes material choice critical. We strongly recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles, the highest impact-resistance rating for asphalt shingles, for Monett homes. In many cases, upgrading to Class 4 shingles can also lower your homeowner’s insurance premium, so check with your insurer before choosing materials.
As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we install their full line of architectural shingles, including options rated for high wind and heavy impact. We never install standard 3-tab shingles. Every system we put on a Monett 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 for homeowners who want maximum longevity and minimal maintenance.
The City of Monett has adopted the 2018 ICC International Residential Code. Permits are required for roof replacements, and inspections are mandatory before work is considered complete. You can reach the Monett inspection line at 417-235-5306, option 2. Permit applications and residential construction standards are available at Monett City Hall, located at 217 5th Street.
We handle every permit on every job. You do not have to deal with the paperwork, the calls, or the inspection scheduling. We confirm the requirements before work begins, pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and complete the job to code. The goal is a clean process with no surprises on your end.
Monett sits at the edge of the Ozarks where seasonal temperature swings are hard on roofing materials. Southwest Missouri experiences more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles in a typical winter. Water works into small gaps in flashing or under cracked shingles, freezes overnight, and expands those gaps. Repeated over an entire season, that slow damage adds up fast. Valley flashing failure and shingle cracking near the eaves are two of the most common problems we find on Monett roofs.
Summer heat compounds the problem. Mid-to-upper 90s through July and August strip granules off aging shingles and dry out the asphalt underneath. Combine that with spring hail tracking in from the west and ice in December and January, and the average Monett roof faces serious stress in all four seasons. Check our 2026 storm season prep guide for steps you can take before 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 infiltration. 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 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 Monett homeowners ask us most about roof replacement.
Yes. The City of Monett follows the 2018 ICC International Residential Code, and permits are required for roof replacements. Inspections are also mandatory before work is finalized. You can contact the Monett inspection line at 417-235-5306, option 2, or visit City Hall at 217 5th Street for information on residential construction requirements.
Teague Roofing Plus handles all permits on every replacement job. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and manage the process from start to finish. You do not have to navigate it yourself.
The answer depends on the age of your roof, the extent 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. Full replacement typically makes more sense when shingles are 20 or more years old, when hail has bruised multiple planes, or when the decking shows signs of moisture damage.
Our free roof inspection gives you a clear answer. We photograph everything, explain what we find, and give you a written recommendation with no pressure to sign anything. Our blog post on repair versus replacement walks through exactly how to think about this decision before you call.
Barry and Lawrence County sit in a severe hail corridor between Springfield and the Kansas and Oklahoma borders. Hail tracking west to east along US-60 regularly reaches Monett with enough force to bruise shingle mats and strip granules without leaving marks visible from the ground. Over time, that hidden damage lets moisture in and cuts years off a roof's expected life.
Monett also experiences more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles in a typical winter. Water works into small cracks in flashing or under aging shingles, freezes, expands, and widens those gaps repeatedly. Summer temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s then dry out and shrink the shingle material. That cycle stresses every component of your roof system year after year.
Read our guide on what hail damage looks like on a roof so you know what signs to watch for after the next storm moves through.
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 photos, and meet your insurance adjuster on site. We walk the roof with them so nothing gets undercounted or missed in the claim.
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.
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 payout.
For most Monett homes, we recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles from Owens Corning. Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for asphalt shingles, built to handle large hail. In a hail-prone corridor like Barry and Lawrence County, that protection makes a real difference in how long your roof lasts. Class 4 shingles may also qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium, so ask 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 homeowners who want maximum longevity, 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.
Monett homes face hail tracking in from the west, freeze-thaw cycles all winter, and summer heat that grinds away at aging shingles. If your roof is getting up in years or took storm damage recently, the time to find out where you stand is before the next big system rolls through. 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.
