    Edit: Owner response below is AI generated and is not a genuine human response. I guess this is how businesses are operating now. Disgusting. Would not personally recommend to request service from this company. Representative came to residence and did not complete a full inspection and attempted to gain contract signature without providing any estimate of cost. Provided an estimate of 8 hours verbally then proceeded to send documentation of "$300.00" with labor cost and materials as "To be determined", along with requesting signature to move forward with repairs without transparently providing cost. Their policy does not warranty quality of work, along with typos within their disclaimers written within "quote" documentation. Company did not respond to date to contact attempts to review correction of their employees inability to properly inspect and/or provide appropriate cost estimate.

    Gabriella, I’m very sorry your experience fell short of expectations and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. What you describe, an incomplete inspection, unclear verbal estimate, documentation lacking transparent costs, and unresponsive follow-up, does not meet our standards.

A member of our management team will reach out to you directly to resolve this and ensure you receive a clear, written estimate and options for remediation.

    Got an estimate a week ago and was waiting for the email. Called the office and they said that the person that helped me was out. Got an email today that they don’t do siding on houses older than 1970. Wow! 70% of the houses nowadays are …

    I'm sorry for the frustration and poor communication you experienced regarding your siding estimate. We should have told you about our policy on homes built before 1970 during the on-site visit, and it's unacceptable that you only learned this after a week. That policy exists because older houses often require different materials and structural work, but we should have been transparent up front. Please call our office or email us (contact info on our website) if you'd like us to revisit your estimate or to provide contractor referrals, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    We had selected Messing Roofing & Construction to replace damaged siding on our house here in Oakville MO through an insurance claim after a major hail storm in March 2025. After 10 months, there was absolutely nothing accomplished. The …

    Mike, we are very sorry for the unacceptable delay, poor communication, and frustration you experienced with your siding project. That is not the level of service we strive for — the staffing turnover and the slow refund process were handled poorly and we apologize. We are conducting an internal review of your project and our procedures to ensure this does not happen again and to improve our customer communications. If you would like us to personally review any remaining concerns, please contact our Customer Care team and reference your name and project so we can follow up promptly.

    Their salesperson seems to be confused. Likes to make arrangements then blow people off.

Please contact our office or send us a direct message so we can make this right. We value your feedback and want to restore your confidence in our service.

    I wish I could provide a five star review however negative stars is all they have earned. I was forced to remove my two prior reviews by coercion, which is illegal. I was not alone. I saw other reviews from people in similar situations that were removed because they called and stated they would not help until the review was removed. This is illegal. My in laws waited months to hear back from Messing, who took their insurance check and cashed it the next day after the initial visit. Ended up putting a roof on 3 months later and did not pick up a single nail they flung into the yard. Everyone wants to get a new roof on Halloween. April and still finding nails. Multiple tire repairs later and months of waiting for a new roof I would never recommend this company. I am glad others have had good experiences we are not one of them. Do not take for granted that you do not see negative reviews, that is by their own practice an illegal actions. Btw my in laws are still paying them on something that should have been covered by insurance as it was due to storm damage.

    Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m very sorry to hear about your family’s experience—especially the delays, communication issues, and concerns about cleanup. That’s not the standard we hold ourselves to. I also want to address the concern about reviews. We do not require or coerce anyone to remove reviews in order to receive service. Our goal is always to resolve concerns directly and fairly. That said, I take everything you’ve shared seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to review your in-laws’ project in detail—especially the timing, billing, and cleanup concerns. If something was missed or handled improperly, I want to make it right. Please contact me directly so I can look into this personally and work toward a resolution. – Michael Messing President & Owner 309-361-4432

    Guy in messing roofing truck was swerving all over the road, flipped us the bird when we passed him? Could be good at roofing I guess but terrible and rude drivers.

    We're very sorry to hear about this and appreciate you letting us know. Unsafe driving and rude conduct are not acceptable, and we take these reports seriously. We'll investigate the incident and address it with the crew involved to ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. The worst, unprofessional people I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. But don’t worry after they finally fix your Gutters (Sort of, after an entire year) half of their staff will be texting, emailing, and calling you every day to collect the payment.

    Reply from the business

    Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about your experience—especially the delays in getting the work completed and the frustration with repeated communication afterward. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide. I’d like to personally review your project and the communication you received so we can understand what happened and make sure it’s addressed properly. We also want to ensure any unwanted contact is stopped. Please reach out to me directly so I can look into this and work toward a resolution. – Michael Messing President & Owner 309-361-4432

    They came out to assess the roof and said they will give an estimate through an email later that afternoon. Sent them an email Saturday afternoon, so they would have it on Monday. They called Monday to ask if I had gotten the quote email yet and I told them no. Said he'd look into it. Called Tuesday and left a message and they never responded. Called Reny Brothers Roofing and they came out and fixed my roof today for a very good price. Recommend Reny Brothers, not messing.

    I had Messing Roofing come out to do a roof repair on a pretty steep old gambral style roof with a active leak needing repaired. The crew showed up and the foreman immediately complained about how bad of a repair it was going to be while …

  • 5 out of 5Jennifer Down2 months ago

    Messing did a wonderful job replacing my roof. They were the only company who looked in my attic for leaks during inspection, which was appreciated. Jeff and the crew were wonderful to work with. Everyone was very thorough and responsive to all of my questions. The crew worked from light to dark to finish the roof in one day just leaving the chimney to be painted the next day. I wish I could remember the gentleman’s name who did the painting because he was amazing was well.

    I am very happy with the new roof. Hunter and his crew were good to work with. There was a communication breakdown between the salesman and myself on one issue, but they made it right in the end. I would recommend Messing Roofing if you’re in the market.
