Roofing in New Franklin, MO
On April 13, 1993, hail 2.50 inches across was reported at New Franklin, and 1.75-inch stones followed on June 10, 2011. The most recent significant fall was 2.00 inches on April 4, 2023. Eleven inch-or-larger days sit in the record for a town of a thousand people.
That 1993 date is a marker for more than hail. It was the year the Missouri River took the bottoms below the bluff, and the flood reset what property in the low country between here and Boonville was worth improving. The roofs went on being maintained; the ambitions attached to them did not.
The stock is genuinely old. Twenty-two percent of New Franklin's 522 units were built in 1939 or earlier and nearly 35 percent predate 1950, against a 1967 median build year and $139,500 of median value. Nothing at all has been built here since 2019. Sixty-eight percent of occupied units are owner-occupied and eight units were built through the entire 2010s.
Houses of that vintage in this part of Howard County were framed to breathe. They carry deep unvented soffits and generous overhangs, and wrapping those soffits in solid aluminum is exactly the wrong move on a roofline that was designed to move air through the boards.
So we cut out the bad sections, splice in new stock and paint all six sides, or we install vented panel sized to the existing overhang rather than to whatever the supplier had on the truck. Intake first, exhaust second, and never exhaust without intake. Net free area gets counted rather than estimated, because a soffit that looks vented and is not will still rot the sheathing.
Howard County carries no building code in the state's county table, so unincorporated ground here has no permit requirement and no inspection. Whatever applies to your parcel is a New Franklin ordinance, and we ask at city hall before quoting rather than assuming from the next town over. The strongest gust on record is 61 mph, logged on March 6, 2017 and May 8, 2002.
The Santa Fe Trail marker and the Katy Trail depot at the river crossing bring visitors, and visitors bring crews working out of trucks with out-of-state plates after every storm line. Ask for the dated event they say damaged your roof. We will check it against the record for you.
About New Franklin, MO — and why local matters here
New Franklin sits in Howard County with a population of roughly 1,027, close enough to Columbia that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the marker for the eastern terminus of the Santa Fe Trail, the Katy Trail depot at the north end of the river crossing.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. New Franklin properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Howard County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

The roofing jobs New Franklin calls us for
Columbia MO Roof Pros covers the same range of work in New Franklin that we do in Columbia — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Storm Damage Restoration — Mid-Missouri takes its storms from the west, usually in a line and usually late in the afternoon. What reaches Boone County is often straight-line wind and hail inside the same twenty minutes, and the two leave different marks that get settled in different ways.
- Tile Roofing — Tile is uncommon in Boone County and we will say that before quoting anything. What exists here is mostly concrete tile on a handful of custom houses built since the 1990s, plus clay accents on older buildings.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind takes a roof apart from the edges inward. The first tabs to go sit at the rake and the eave, where the field has least sealant holding it and most uplift trying to lift it.
- Residential Roof Installation — New construction roofing is a scheduling problem wearing a roofing costume. The roof has to go on between the framing inspection and the first delivery of anything water destroys, and in Columbia that window is usually narrower than the builder's calendar admits.
- Commercial Roof Installation — Commercial work in Columbia means apartment blocks and rooming houses as often as it means offices. The city's rental ordinance covers apartment houses and multi-unit buildings as well as single rentals, so a flat roof over twenty units carries the same code obligation a duplex does.
- Roof Replacement — A replacement in Columbia gets decided by a date more often than by a leak. If the building is a rental, the certificate of compliance has an expiry, and the inspection that follows it reads the roof against a written code.
