Where Arch City is different
- Our online estimator shows your price in 2 minutes — Mr. Roof requires a sales visit before quoting
- We work Greater St. Louis from local crews, not dispatched from a regional headquarters

- We will put our material specs, scope, and price in writing immediately — no sales presentation required first
What customers report
Common themes from Mr. Roof's public reviews.
Sourced from aggregated public reviews (BBB, Google, Trustpilot). Not universal — plenty of customers have positive experiences. These are the themes that recur often enough to be worth knowing before you sit through a sales presentation.
Quote accuracy varies significantly by which sales rep visits
Upsells are aggressive — basic roofs are frequently steered to premium product tiers
Lifetime labor warranty requires strict maintenance schedule adherence that many homeowners skip
Decision
Who should you actually call?
Mr. Roof is the right call if you want a national-brand warranty, you're comfortable sitting through a full in-home sales presentation, and you have the budget for premium-tier pricing.
Arch City Builders is the right call if you want a real price range online in 2 minutes, prefer to handle everything on your schedule without a long sales visit, and want a local contractor who meets your insurance adjuster on the roof rather than leaving you to fight the claim alone.
The honest advice: get quotes from both. Compare line items, not just totals. Our estimate tool makes that step free and non-committal — two minutes of typing and you have our number on paper.
