Branson General Contractor for the Whole Outside of Your House
Your House Called. It's Been Meaning to Bring This Up.
We're Big Chief Exteriors, the Branson general contractor your neighbor probably already told you about. Roofs, gutters, siding, windows, doors, decks, and paint. You get one Chief, one cell number, and the price in writing the day we meet.
The Stuff That Proves We're the Real Deal
The Worst Part of a Home Project Isn't the Money
Ask anybody in Branson and they've got a story ready. A guy climbed on the roof, said "yeah, that's bad," and then never sent the bid. A crew started building your deck on a Tuesday and disappeared by Thursday with no railings. A price that was nine thousand somehow turned into fourteen, and the explanation had a lot of words in it but not a lot of sense. Nobody called back. Nobody said what day. Nobody said when it would be done.
Then there's the yard. Two weeks after the crew leaves, your kid rolls the bike over a nail and you're the one buying a new tube. That's the real reason people put off calling a Branson general contractor for four years while they stare at the same peeling trim. It isn't the cost. It's not knowing who you're letting into your driveway, and it's the feeling that you're about to lose control of your own house for two weeks. We think that's a fixable problem. So we fixed it.

These guys were amazing! I own several homes and rarely do I see service of this caliber. The bid was very honest and reasonable. We decided to move forward and within a few days there were at our house working from dawn until dusk. The job site was always clean and the men were always very respectful and kind. It’s companies and men like this that made America great. You should look no further than Big Chief Exteriors.

Hey, I'm Tyler. Let's Make This Easy.
I'm Tyler Arnold. My family lives here in the Branson area, I graduated from Branson in 2011, we homeschool our kids here, and I run into our customers at the RecPlex ballfields, the grocery store, and church. That last part matters more than any ad I could buy. When your family name is on the business and you can't hide from it, you tend to answer the phone at 7:40 at night. For years we were Big Chief Roofing and we mostly waited on hail. That worked fine, but it meant our whole business depended on the weather being mean to our neighbors. Say that out loud and it sounds like a weird way to feed a family. So we changed it. Now we're a Branson general contractor and we do the whole outside.
Here's my promise, and it's short enough to hold me to. You'll always know what's happening, what it costs, and who to call. And somewhere in there, you'll laugh. You get one Chief who owns your project from hello to handshake, and that person's actual cell number, not a call center in a state that doesn't have lake water in it. You get photos of everything, including the parts that are perfectly fine. And if you don't need the work yet, I'd rather tell you that and come back in three years than sell you something today. I've lost some jobs that way. I've kept a lot of customers.

Three Promises. In Writing. In Regular-Person Font Size.
Most Branson general contractors make big promises out loud and hide the small print behind your back. We flipped it around. Here's what we put on paper, every single time, for every single customer.
The Fix It or Refund It Guarantee
If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it fast. No prorating. No trip charges. No finger-pointing at the manufacturer, the weather, or the guy who used to work here. If we somehow can't fix it, you get your money back. Every single cent.
The $250 Price Match Guarantee
Find another licensed and insured company offering the same products, same warranties, and same level of service for less, and we'll match that price. Then we'll hand you $250 in cash for finding a competitor we didn't know about. Consider it a finder's fee for doing our homework.
The Cleanup Guarantee
Our crews get paid on leaving your place cleaner than they found it. We sweep, hook up the trailer, then sweep again. If you find a nail, a screw, a scrap, or a paint chip in the next year, send us a photo. We'll show up with a magnet and a dozen donuts.

“Professionalism was evident throughout the entire process from initial estimate to project completion. We were so pleased with the deck restoration we had them back for our gutter replacement. We really appreciated the communication with Tyler explaining the process in detail. Best part was price was reasonable. Definitely a 5- star company!! Will do business again.”
What Your Neighbors Say About Us
Real reviews from real folks around town. This is what picking the right Branson general contractor looks like.
We Do the Whole Outside
Most folks think we only do roofs. That was true a while back. Now one Branson general contractor handles all six of these, which means one crew, one bill, and one person to text when you've got a question.
Roofing Contractor
This is where we started, so we're a little annoying about it. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, metal roofing, metal roof installation, standing seam metal roof work, asphalt shingle roof installation, and roof leak repair. We do hail damage roof repair and storm damage roof repair too, and we'll walk you through the insurance claim roofing process in plain English. Got a drip during a Table Rock downpour? Emergency roof repair is a phone call, not a form.
Gutter Service
Gutters are the cheapest thing on your house and they protect the most expensive parts of it. We do gutter installation, gutter repair, gutter replacement, gutter cleaning, gutter guard installation, seamless gutters, and copper gutters when somebody wants the pretty ones. If yours dump water right onto your foot every time it rains, that's usually a slope problem, not a clog. We'll show you the photo.
Siding Contractor
Siding is the part of your house people see from the road, and it's the part that keeps water out of your walls. We handle siding installation, siding repair, siding replacement, vinyl siding, cedar siding, metal siding, wood siding repair, soffit and fascia repair, James Hardie siding installation, and LP siding installation. What's behind the siding matters more than the siding. Ask us and we'll bore you about house wrap for ten minutes.
Window Installation Service
Old windows are how your air conditioner money escapes in July. We do window replacement, window installation, window repair, vinyl windows, wood windows, energy efficient windows, window frame repair, window rot repair, and window screen repair. Yes, we'll be inside your house. Boots off or covered, one room at a time, and every opening gets closed the same day. You'll never go to bed with a hole in your wall.
Deck Builder
This is the fun one. Deck builders in the Ozarks get to work on some spectacular hillsides. We do deck installation, deck repair, deck restoration, deck staining, deck sealing, composite decking, deck railing, pergolas, covered patio installation, screened in porch builds, and under deck ceiling installers work so you can sit outside in a light rain. If your deck bounces when you walk on it, let us look at the ledger board before your graduation party does.
Painter
Fresh paint is the biggest change you can make for the smallest number. We handle exterior painting, door painting, deck staining, fence staining, brick painting, brick staining, and log cabin staining, which around here is a real skill and not everybody has it. If your last paint job peeled in two years, it usually wasn't the paint. It was the prep. We'll tell you what went wrong even if you don't hire us.
Roofing Contractor
This is where we started, so we're a little annoying about it. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, metal roofing, metal roof installation, standing seam metal roof work, asphalt shingle roof installation, and roof leak repair. We do hail damage roof repair and storm damage roof repair too, and we'll walk you through the insurance claim roofing process in plain English. Got a drip during a Table Rock downpour? Emergency roof repair is a phone call, not a form.
“Very open and honest. Encouraged me to get other bids as well. They were not only the best-priced but also the most organized and open about our plans and options to take. The workers were clean and quick and did everything they could to protect the property. Tyler even came out himself to magnet the driveway so we wouldn’t drive over nails each night bc I have an EV that charges in the garage. Excellent experience! Big Chief definitely goes above and beyond.”

Where You'll See Our Trucks
We're based at 117 Calvin Drive in Branson and we cover a good chunk of southwest Missouri. If you're on this list, you're close enough for us to swing by and close enough that we'd hear about it at the gas station if we did you wrong.
Taney County
Learn MoreHome base. Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Rockaway Beach, Merriam Woods, and Kirbyville. As your Taney County general contractor we do a lot of cabin and short-term rental work here, which means we schedule around your bookings instead of around ours. Lake wind and afternoon storms are hard on roofs and decks in this county.
Stone County
Learn MoreKimberling City, Reeds Spring, Branson West, Crane, Galena, and Blue Eye. A Stone County general contractor spends a lot of time on steep lots and lake homes with big decks and long gutter runs. Sun coming off the water fades south-facing paint and siding faster than folks expect.
Barry County
Learn MoreCassville, Monett, Purdy, Exeter, Wheaton, and Shell Knob. Our Barry County general contractor crews handle a mix of farm properties, older homes, and lake places. Metal roofing is popular out here and we install and repair plenty of it.
Christian County
Learn MoreNixa, Ozark, Sparta, Highlandville, and Clever. As a Christian County general contractor we work in a lot of late-90s subdivisions where the original builder-grade siding and windows are right at the end of their run. Good news: that's the fun kind of project.
Lawrence County
Learn MoreAurora, Marionville, Mt. Vernon, Pierce City, and Verona. A Lawrence County general contractor sees a lot of hail out this direction. We handle the claim documentation the honest way, and we'll tell you when a repair beats a full replacement.

“This local company did things right! My new roof and gutters are perfect! Tyler went above and beyond with help on the insurance claim, explaining everything and was here from start to finish! I would definitely recommend Big Chief Exteriors to anyone!”
Questions People Actually Ask Us
Before you pick a Branson general contractor, you probably have a few things on your mind. Here are the real questions we hear at kitchen tables all over town, answered straight.
Who's the best general contractor in Branson?
We're biased, so here's a fair test instead. Ask any Branson general contractor for three references on streets near yours. Ask if the price and the monthly payment go on the same page. Ask what happens if you find a nail in the yard next spring. Whoever answers all three without squirming is your pick. We'd love it to be us, but we'd rather you hire somebody good than nobody at all.
What all do you actually do?
The whole outside of your house. Roofing, gutters, siding, windows, doors, decks and porches, and exterior painting. If it's attached to the outside of your home and it's leaking, peeling, sagging, or just plain ugly, it's ours. The only thing we don't touch is the inside, unless we're setting a window or a patio door, and then we're only in there long enough to do it right.
Why hire one company for all that instead of six?
Because six companies means six schedules, six bills, and six people pointing at each other when something goes sideways. When we do your roof and your gutters together, one crew handles both and the flashing actually lines up. When we do siding and windows together, the trim gets done right the first time. One Chief, one number, one warranty conversation.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, and we'll hand you the certificate before you think to ask. Ask every contractor you talk to for it. The good ones keep a copy in the truck.
How long have you been around, and are you really local?
We're at 117 Calvin Drive in Branson and the phone number's been the same since 2024. We started out as Big Chief Roofing, back when we mostly waited on hail to roll through. Now we do the whole outside on purpose instead of waiting on the weather to be mean to our neighbors. Our kids go to school here. You'll see us at the ballfield.
What happens when I ask for a free quote?
A person answers, gets your name, and puts you on the calendar. Then your Chief walks the whole house, not just the part you called about. You get a report card on everything outside, photos of all of it including the parts that are fine, and three clear options with the monthly payment printed next to each total. Then we leave. No sitting at your table until the price drops.
Do you take small jobs?
We do, and we treat them like big ones. A three hundred dollar screen door repair gets the same crew standard and the same cleanup as a forty thousand dollar siding job. That's not us being noble. It's how we end up doing your deck in four years.
What if I don't need the work yet?
Then we'll tell you, out loud and in writing. If your siding has eight good years left, you'll hear "come back and see us in 2034." We keep count of how often we say that. It's one of our favorite numbers around here.
