Roofers in St. Joseph, Missouri
14 roofing companies are listed for St. Joseph. Your request goes to one roofer, not five.
Short answer: None of the 14 roofers listed for St. Joseph has a license match on the state registry yet, so ask any roofer for a license number and look it up before you sign. A standard asphalt re-roof on a 2,000 sq ft St. Joseph home runs $6,160–$13,640 at the local 0.88× cost index, and a metal roof $14,960–$35,200. NOAA's storm record for the county shows hail up to 2.75 in., so get an inspection after a big storm before you accept a quote.
