About us

Who We Are

Your roof is arguably the most crucial component of your home, and replacing it is a significant investment! It is essential to find a roofer who will provide you with the best possible value for your money. In your research for the right company, you may have noticed that not all roofing companies are created equal. Some are inexperienced, use low-quality materials, or don’t stand behind their work with a reliable warranty.

Royal Roofing & Solar is different. We offer top-of-the-line roofing services to the residents of Missouri. Our solutions are designed to shield your home and lower your energy bills. Our premium roofs come with a lifetime warranty, and our experienced staff is trained in the latest installation techniques. We’re also one of only six Platinum Preferred Contractors with Owens Corning, so you know you’re getting the best possible service. Plus, we’ll assist you through the insurance claim process if necessary.

Our team is backed by years of experience in residential and commercial roofing. When you work with us, you can feel confident in the roof over your head and not constantly worry about upkeep! Contact us today for more information on how we can help you protect your home and improve its value.

Our Team

Meet the owners of Royal Roofing & Solar, Austin and Buffy Watterson! Austin started Royal in 2014. Buffy, who had spent 17 years in the insurance world, took the leap from insurance and joined the team in 2015. While she has maintained her insurance license since then, she handles a lot behind the scenes to help keep things going around here. Aside from things like keeping our fleet of vehicles safe and legal, she also does a lot of our outside marketing and networking, keeps the office supplied with all the necessities, and is our Chief Morale Booster; she can be counted on to bring in sweet treats and goodies to celebrate everyone’s milestones and sometimes, simply just to say thank you. She wants everyone to feel appreciated and valued. Austin is our fearless leader and President of Royal Roofing & Solar. He is constantly brainstorming ways to improve policies, our system, and the company as a whole. He works hard and plays hard, and expects everyone who works for him to do the same. He has an open-door style of management, and considers all of the thoughts and ideas of his employees. Above all, he puts a lot of value into family, and being a husband and a father himself, allows his employees the flexibility to put their own families first. Aside from Royal, they are the proud parents to their 17 year old son, Brayden, and their twin 7 year old daughters, Annistyn and Addalyn. They stay pretty busy just with the kids and their activities, but they also love spending time with friends and family, race horses, concerts, and traveling to new places with their friends!

CEO/COO

Brooke reached out to us in 2018 looking for a new job until she decided where life was going to take her. She started with answering phones. She started handling a lot of admin duties, follow ups and many other general office tasks. She’s done anything and everything ever asked of her- including cleaning toilets & dishes. She’s a huge part of the brand we have built and one of the reasons of our long term success. She’s very loyal and caring to our whole team. She always has their back. She pushes everyone to be their best. She’s helping build a great sales team and helping them become successful. She’s going to show other women that they can be successful in the roofing industry as well.

Customer Success Manager

Emily has been with our Royal team for over 3 years now. She came on board to handle our accounting but she continued to handle any task thrown at her. She keeps us in line financially and helps make a lot of good financial decisions. She’s a team player and enjoys helping everyone win. She’s a no nonsense type person until it comes to practical jokes. Then she becomes full of nonsense. Women in roofing is a powerful thing. We are glad to have this boss lady part of our Royal family. We appreciate her, her hard work and dedication to the team.

CFO

Daphyne is a proud mom to 4 sons, 1 who still lives at home. In her spare time, she can be found fishing! Before coming to Royal, she worked with kids and customer service, as well as hands-on manual labor, such as building combine harvesters. She loves industrial work, which is what drew her to Royal Roofing & Solar. Being at Royal gives her the opportunity to combine the two things she loves doing-working and talking with people in the construction industry. She has learned so much about roofing and solar since coming to Royal, and we are so happy to have her on our team.
