Residential Roofing in St. Louis

Your roof is a system, not just shingles

Most people picture a roof as the shingles they can see. A roof that lasts is really six or seven layers working together — the deck, the ice-and-water shield, the underlayment, the flashing, the starter and field shingles, and the ventilation that lets the whole assembly breathe. We install and repair every one of those layers to spec, because a failure in any single one is what leads to leaks, premature aging and voided manufacturer warranties.

Residential roofing we do

• Full roof replacement — a complete new system when repair no longer makes sense.
• Roof repair — leaks, wind-lifted shingles, flashing, valleys and pipe boots.
• Storm & hail restoration — a documented response after Missouri weather.
• Insurance claim support — we walk the process with you, start to finish.
• Free roof inspections — photographed, documented, and yours to keep.

Repair or replace? An honest answer.

Not every roof needs replacing, and we won't tell you it does when it doesn't. A newer roof with isolated damage is usually a repair. A roof near the end of its life — widespread granule loss, brittle or curling shingles, and more than one leak — is usually better replaced than patched again and again. We document the roof's real condition with photos and walk you through both options and their costs, so the decision is yours and it's made on evidence.

Signs it's worth a closer look

• Shingles that are curling, cupping, cracked, or shedding granules (check your gutters for granule buildup)
• Ceiling or attic stains, damp insulation, or daylight showing through the roof deck
• Shingles lifted, creased or torn after a windstorm
• A roof that's 20+ years old, or that you know was layered over an older roof
• Rusted or lifting flashing around chimneys, valleys, skylights and vents

Materials and details built for Missouri weather

For most St. Louis homes we install architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles — more wind- and impact-resistant, longer-lived and better-looking than the old three-tab style. But the parts that quietly decide how long a roof lasts sit underneath the shingles: a proper ice-and-water barrier at the eaves and valleys, quality synthetic underlayment, correctly detailed flashing at every transition, and balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation so heat and moisture leave your attic instead of cooking the roof from below.

How we work — and what stands behind it

Every job starts with a free, documented inspection and a written scope in plain English. We manage the site cleanly day to day, protect your landscaping, and finish with a full magnetic nail-sweep and a walkthrough with you. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year transferable warranty on top of the manufacturer's material warranty — and because we're licensed, insured and locally owned in Kirkwood, the company that inspects your roof is the same one that stands behind it years later.
