If water is coming through the ceiling right now in Frontenac, do not wait until morning. Our dispatcher answers 24/7 and our crew can be on your roof within hours with the right tarp for the job. Stop the damage tonight and protect your home.
A torn-open roof after a Frontenac storm needs cover before the next rain hits, not three days later when an adjuster finally shows up at the door. Top Quality Exteriors dispatches a tarping crew across Frontenac and the surrounding mid-county area around the clock, and we carry both standard heavy-duty poly tarp and shrink-wrap (white tarp) protection on every truck. For larger custom homes off Conway Road or Geyer Road, the shrink-wrap option is what most owners pick — it conforms to multi-gable rooflines a stiff blue tarp simply cannot match.
Our crews handle the emergency roof tarping St Louis homeowners search for in the worst weather windows of the year, from spring hail bruising through January ice load. Once the active leak is stopped, we document every penetration and tear with timestamped photos for your insurance file and move straight into a full storm damage roofing in Frontenac scope or, if the field is sound enough, a planned roof replacement in Frontenac. One simple call to (314) 618-8888 starts the response clock today.
Most Frontenac homes in the 1947 platted core — Frontenac Estates, Jaccard Lane, Clayton Terrace — and the 1950s through 1980s build-out off Conway and Geyer Roads carry steep, multi-gable rooflines with deep valleys, dormers, hips, and chimney cricket flashing. A weighted blue poly tarp bridges straight across those changes in plane and leaves gaps at every valley and dormer return where windblown rain still drives water under the field. Shrink-wrap roof protection, applied with a propane torch and pulled tight against the substrate, conforms to slate, cedar shake, and designer architectural shingles in a near-seamless polyethylene membrane that resists 60 mph gusts and stays put for weeks rather than days. We anchor every job with 2×4 lath strips at the perimeter, run an ice and water seam along the leading edge, and tag the install with a permit reference from the Frontenac Building Official. After the wrap, the next step is a matching slate roofing in Frontenac repair or full re-roof.
From the moment your call hits our dispatch line in Frontenac, the goal is stopping water in hours, not days. Here is exactly how we move from the first phone call to a watertight roof and a clean insurance file for your adjuster.
You call (314) 618-8888 and we open a job ticket the same minute. A live dispatcher confirms your Frontenac address and the type of damage. A crew rolls within hours, day or night.
Our lead climbs the roof and walks every plane for hail strikes, lifted shingles, and punctures. We map every breach with a tablet sketch. You see the photos before work begins.
We recommend either a heavy poly tarp or shrink wrap depending on roofline and exposure. Simple gable roofs get poly. Complex Frontenac rooflines get the white tarp shrink-wrap.
We anchor with 2×4 lath strips into solid decking, never into shingles alone. Seams overlap by at least six inches and run uphill. The membrane seals fully before our crew leaves.
We hand you a clean photo set, a scope sketch, and a permit reference for the file. Your adjuster gets everything needed to write a fair scope. Then we book the permanent repair.
Storm response is the part of roofing where shortcuts cost the most. After the late-May 2025 EF3 tornado put winds up to 155 mph through St. Louis County and damaged roofs on roughly 5,000 properties, the contractors who arrived first with the right materials kept water out of homes that would otherwise need full ceiling rebuilds. Top Quality Exteriors is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri, and owner Mario Granados runs the dispatch board.
For Frontenac specifically, that means a crew that understands the value of the home under the tarp. We do not nail through slate. We do not staple through cedar shake. We do not throw a blue tarp over a French Provincial roofline and call it done. Our 36-month workmanship warranty on permanent repairs is firm and written, and we pull a Frontenac Building Official permit on every tarping or replacement job that requires one for the local code.
Emergency roof tarping in the St. Louis metro typically runs $1,000 to $2,000 for a standard heavy-duty poly install, with smaller, simpler jobs trending toward the low end and large Frontenac rooflines toward the upper end. Shrink-wrap or white-tarp protection on a multi-gable, dormer-heavy roof carries a fair premium because of the propane-torch labor, the additional polyethylene material, and the perimeter lath needed to keep the membrane drum-tight for weeks.
Here is the good news for an insured homeowner: emergency mitigation is almost always a covered loss under a standard Missouri policy, and the typical out-of-pocket is just your deductible — usually $1,000 to $2,500. Missouri gives policyholders 12 months to file most roof claims, with some carriers allowing 24 months, and the contractor has a statutory right to attend your adjuster meeting. We document everything to keep your claim defensible from the start.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
