A roof doesn't fail all at once. It wears down through St. Louis summers that bake the shingles and winters that freeze and thaw the same spot a dozen times. By the time you spot curling shingles or a stain on the ceiling, the layers underneath have often given up too. Patching a roof that old just moves the leak to the next weak spot.
When our roofer comes out, the first thing we do is get up top and check the whole system, not just the bad patch. We look at the shingles, the flashing around your chimney and vents, and the condition of the decking underneath. Older homes on The Hill and in Soulard sometimes have two or three layers stacked up from past repairs. We tell you straight what we find so you can decide with real information.
On replacement day we strip the old material down to the deck, replace any wood that's soft or rotted, and lay down new underlayment before the shingles go on. We seal the valleys and flashing, since that's where most St. Louis leaks start after a hard rain. We also check your attic ventilation, because a poorly vented attic cooks a new roof from the inside and shortens its life.
We clean up as we go and run a magnet over the yard for stray nails before we leave. Homes from Tower Grove to Kirkwood to Chesterfield all get the same careful tear-off and rebuild, sized to your roof and the weather we get here.

Common questions
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in St. Louis are done in one to two days, depending on the size, the pitch, and how many old layers have to come off. If we find rotted decking, that can add a little time, and we'll show you the wood before we replace it.
Can you replace my roof after storm or hail damage?
Yes. We inspect the roof for hail bruising and wind lift, document what we find with photos, and can help you put together the paperwork for an insurance claim. A lot of St. Louis replacements start as a storm inspection.
Do I have to tear off the old shingles, or can you go over them?
We recommend a full tear-off. Layering over old shingles hides bad decking and traps heat, which wears the new roof out faster. Tearing off also lets us fix the flashing and rotted wood that cause most leaks here.
What kind of shingles do you install for our local weather?
Architectural asphalt shingles hold up well to our swing between hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. During your assessment the roofer will go over the options that fit your home and your roof's slope.
