A new metal roof is one of the longest-term upgrades you can make to a Des Peres home. We will walk your roof, measure the square footage, and put a clear standing seam or snap-lock estimate in your hands the same day we come out.
If you own a mid-century Cape Cod in Harwood Hills or a newer custom build in the Wyndemere Addition off Des Peres Road, a metal roofing upgrade delivers the 50-year lifespan and Class 4 hail resilience that another West County asphalt tear-off simply cannot match on the same schedule or budget cycle. At Top Quality Exteriors, we design and install standing seam and snap-lock metal roof systems built specifically for the Des Peres storm cycle, the heavy mature-tree canopy, and the long humid summer heat loads West County homes see each year.
Whether you want a full standing seam replacement across the entire home or clean accent panels above porches, dormers, and bay windows, we handle everything from initial design through the city permit and a spotless install from underlayment right up to hand-formed ridge cap and valley flashing. Our crews also coordinate with related work like asphalt shingles in Des Peres when only sections of the roof convert to metal, and with commercial roofing in Des Peres on mixed-use buildings along the Manchester Road corridor.
Standing seam is the flagship system: 24-gauge steel or aluminum panels with concealed clips and mechanically seamed ribs that shed wind-driven rain and shrug off limb strikes from the mature tree canopy over Manhattan Heights and Harwood Hills. Snap-lock is the mid-tier residential option — the same clean vertical lines, quicker install, and still no exposed fasteners across the panel field. For barn-style accents, detached garages, and outbuildings on the larger Des Peres Road lots, exposed-fastener R-panel remains a real workhorse and holds up well when specified and gasketed correctly. Every install begins with a complete tear-off of the old asphalt shingles, a full decking inspection, and ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, followed by high-temperature synthetic underlayment, careful panel layout, and hand-formed ridge, hip, and valley flashing on site. When a project also includes a slate section on a Colonial Revival, we pair the crew with our slate roofing in Des Peres team.
Every metal roofing project we install in Des Peres follows the same five clear checkpoints, from the free onsite assessment to the final walkthrough. Here is exactly how the work moves from your first call to a finished standing seam roof.
I visit your Des Peres home to measure the roof and review panel style options. We discuss standing seam, snap-lock, and accents. You get a written estimate on the spot today.
We select the exact gauge, profile, color, and clip system to match your home and any HOA rules. I finalize underlayment and flashing details. Then we place the mill order today.
We pull the Des Peres Building Division permit and stage the driveway. My crew protects landscaping and sets up debris containment. Then we schedule the tear-off day around you.
We tear off the old shingles, inspect the decking, and lay down ice-and-water shield. Synthetic underlayment goes down next. Then we seam the ribs and form the ridge flashing.
We clean the site, sweep the yard with magnets, and haul the debris away. I walk the roof line with you and review every detail personally. Then we register all of your warranties.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, and our owner and lead installers carry over 7 years of roofing experience across West County and the greater St. Louis metro area. We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every crew we send out. That paperwork matters when your Des Peres HOA or the city Building Division asks exactly who is on the roof today.
We are also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, so when a section of your home stays on architectural asphalt shingles, the same crew handles both trades to one consistent standard. Every metal roof install is backed by a firm 36-month workmanship warranty as our baseline, with extended coverage available up to a lifetime warranty on select systems. Manufacturer warranties on standing seam typically run 30 to 50 years on the Kynar 500 finish.
Metal roofing in the St. Louis metro typically runs $6.10 to $13 per square foot installed on a residential project. On a standard Des Peres home, that puts most projects squarely in the $12,000 to $26,000 range, and high-end standing seam on larger Wyndemere or Enclave at Greenbriar builds can push closer to $33,000 all in. Panel profile, panel gauge, and Kynar 500 color choice drive most of the swing you see in your final quoted number for the project.
Full standing seam costs more upfront than architectural asphalt shingles, but the 50-year lifespan and Class 4 hail rating change the math over the long run. West County averages three to five significant hail events every year, and a properly installed metal roof rides those storms out with almost no maintenance. We also offer Hearth and GreenSky financing so qualified homeowners can spread the total project cost without draining a home-equity line.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
