If your Clayton roof took a hit from the 2025 tornado or your shingles are simply worn thin, we can help you plan the right asphalt system for your home. Call Top Quality Exteriors at (314) 618-8888 to schedule your inspection today.
When your Clayton home’s roof reaches the end of its service life, the asphalt shingles roofing package you choose matters more here than it does in a newer subdivision on the metro edge. About 36% of Clayton houses were built before 1939, and thousands of 1940s and 1950s roofs around Carrswold, Claverach Park, DeMun, and the Wydown Boulevard corridor took a hard hit from the May 2025 EF3 tornado and repeated 2-inch hail through 2024. Top Quality Exteriors installs architectural laminate shingles specced to match Clayton’s historic streetscape and hold up.
An architectural asphalt system is far more than the shingle itself. We tear off the worn layers, replace any soft or rotted decking sheets, roll new synthetic underlayment and ice & water shield along the eaves and valleys, then install starter, hip and ridge cap, and color-matched pipe boots so the finished roof reads as one clean job from the curb. Homeowners around DeMun and The Moorlands often pair a new shingle deck with a companion roof replacement in Clayton quote for older sections.
Clayton’s housing mix pushes the asphalt conversation past the builder-grade three-tab most contractors default to. On a Tudor or Georgian Revival with steep 8/12 or 10/12 pitch, we lean toward laminated architectural shingles in a deeper charcoal, weathered wood, or driftwood tone that reads close to slate from the street and clears architectural review at Planning & Development. On simpler 1950s ranches around Davis Place and Bemiston, a mid-range architectural in a lighter tone can shave a few dollars per square without looking cheap. Every job includes proper valley detailing, drip edge, step flashing at every sidewall, and continuous ridge ventilation sized to the attic square footage. After the May 2025 EF3 wind event and the 81 hail reports logged within 10 miles of Clayton in 2024, we also carry SBS-modified impact-rated Class 4 shingles as an upgrade for homeowners who want the discount their carrier offers, or a metal roofing in Clayton option instead.
Every asphalt shingle roof we install in Clayton follows the same five-step sequence, from the first walk to the final cleanup. It’s the workflow we’ve refined on pre-war and mid-century Clayton homes, and it keeps the project on schedule.
We start with a full walk of your Clayton roof. Our estimator photographs every slope, valley, flashing, and vent to spot hidden damage. You get a written report the same day.
Next we build a line-item estimate listing shingle brand, color, decking, underlayment, flashing, and disposal. We walk you through it and flag any architectural review items.
We pull your Clayton permit, pay the $35 fee, and schedule the tear-off crew. Landscaping, walkways, and cars get tarped. Shingle and dumpster delivery is staged the day before.
Old layers come off to the deck, and any rotten sheathing gets swapped out. We roll new underlayment, ice & water shield, drip edge, and step flashing, then shingle to the ridge.
The crew magnet-sweeps your yard and driveway twice for stray nails. Our project manager walks the finished roof with you and files the permit close-out with the Clayton office.
Top Quality Exteriors is a locally owned roofing contractor founded in 2022, with 7+ years of industry experience behind our lead crews and 52+ team members serving the St. Louis metro. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. Clayton homeowners hire us because we quote what we actually install, keep the same crew on site, and document every step.
Because so much of Clayton is pre-war housing, we treat each project as its own puzzle rather than a repeatable tract job. Our estimators know how architectural review reads shingle color and profile, which older Carrswold and Claverach Park roofs still hide cedar shake decking under the last asphalt overlay, and where box gutters and copper flashing complicate a tear-off on a steep slope. See our full residential roofing in Clayton lineup for related options.
Asphalt shingle pricing in Clayton runs a bit above the metro average, driven by steep pitches, multi-valley roofs, and the extra flashing detail Clayton’s pre-war houses demand. A straightforward mid-century ranch in Bemiston or Davis Place with a 6/12 gable and clean access typically lands in the lower half of our range. Older Tudor and Georgian roofs in Carrswold or Wydown-Forsyth with 10/12 pitch, three dormers, and copper valley pans naturally cost more per square.
The line items that move the number most are decking replacement, ventilation upgrades, and the shingle grade you pick. Class 4 impact-rated shingles cost more per square but often earn a hail discount from your insurer that pays back in a few years. Our 36-month workmanship warranty is the firm baseline on every job, and extended coverage up to a lifetime warranty is available with select Owens Corning systems. Hearth and GreenSky financing options are available.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
