1st Choice Roofing & Construction
Everything you need to know about roofing, storm damage, insurance claims, and our services across Southeast Missouri. Can't find your answer? Call us.
Yes. 1st Choice Roofing & Construction is fully licensed and insured in Missouri. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance on every project. We're happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins.
Yes. We offer completely free roof inspections and written estimates with no obligation. Call our Cape Girardeau office at {CAPE_PHONE} or our Poplar Bluff office at {PB_PHONE}.
We serve all of Southeast Missouri from our two offices. Cape Girardeau office covers: Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Sikeston, Scott City, Perryville, Benton, Chaffee, Charleston, and surrounding areas. Poplar Bluff office covers: Poplar Bluff, Dexter, Kennett, Piedmont, Bernie, Marble Hill, and Butler County.
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1 to 2 days. Larger homes or complex roofs may take 2 to 3 days. Commercial projects vary. We'll give you a specific timeline before work begins.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover hail and wind damage. The key is getting a proper inspection and damage documentation quickly after a storm. We do this for free and work directly with your adjuster.
In many storm damage cases, your insurance pays for the full replacement minus your deductible. If your roof qualifies, you pay only your deductible and insurance covers the rest. We help maximize your claim so you get everything you're entitled to. We never waive deductibles, which is illegal in Missouri.
Yes. Denied claims are often the result of inadequate documentation or an adjuster who missed damage. We can re-inspect your roof, provide additional documentation, and help you file a supplemental claim or request a re-inspection.
As soon as possible. Missouri insurance policies have filing deadlines, and waiting too long can affect your claim. If you've had a recent storm, call us at {CAPE_PHONE} to schedule a free inspection right away.
Yes. We work with all major insurance carriers operating in Missouri, including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, American Family, and others.
It depends on the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how many layers are already on the roof. We assess all of these during your free inspection and give you an honest recommendation, not just the most expensive option.
We use premium materials from top-rated manufacturers. For shingles, we commonly install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed products. We also install metal roofing, TPO and EPDM flat roofing, and fiber cement siding.
Yes. All of our installations come with a workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer's material warranty. Specific warranty terms are outlined in your contract before work begins.
In some cases yes, but we typically recommend a full tear-off. Roofing over existing shingles can hide decking damage, add excess weight, and void manufacturer warranties. We'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your specific situation.
Contact us to discuss payment options. We work with homeowners to make necessary roof replacements accessible. Call {CAPE_PHONE} for details.
