Don’t Make This Costly Mistake Before Spring Storm Season
If your roof has missing shingles, leaks, or visible storm damage, you’re likely asking:
Should I repair it — or replace it completely?
In Dardenne Prairie, that decision becomes urgent fast. Missouri storm season (March–June) brings hail, high winds, and heavy rainfall that can turn minor damage into major structural failure.

The Real Cost Difference in Missouri
Here's what most homeowners in Missouri can expect:

But here's what many homeowners don't realize:
