Ready to see whether metal is right for your St. Louis home? A free inspection tells you what you have, what you need, and what the numbers look like — no pressure, just straight answers. Call our crew and we will be on the roof this week.
Owning a century-old St. Louis home means learning fast that asphalt shingles rarely make it through our hail-heavy summers and freeze-thaw winters without a callback. Homeowners from Dutchtown to Lafayette Square are asking about metal roofing in St. Louis because they want a system that outlives the mortgage, sheds wind-driven hail, and tucks cleanly against brick parapets and dormered gables. At Top Quality Exteriors, we fit standing seam, snap-lock, and exposed-fastener panels to city housing — brick two-flats and Victorian gables alike.
A properly detailed metal roof pays off for decades on this housing stock. Standing seam panels come with a Kynar 500 finish, hidden clips that let the metal expand through hot, humid summers, and 24-gauge steel or Galvalume that shrugs off the hail St. Louis logs three to five times a season. On pitched-roof pockets in Bevo Mill or Holly Hills we run full panel roofs; on flat-and-porch combinations we blend metal with the existing membrane. If you are comparing options, our asphalt shingles in St. Louis page covers the shingle side by side.
Not every metal roof belongs on every St. Louis home, so we scope each job before we quote. Standing seam is our workhorse — 24-gauge steel or aluminum with a Kynar 500 finish, hidden clips that let the metal grow and shrink through 100-degree July afternoons and single-digit January mornings, and snap-lock seams that stay watertight over Soulard rowhouse gables and Tower Grove dormers. Exposed-fastener panels like R-panel and corrugated are the value choice for a detached garage or carriage house on a Dutchtown lot. Copper accents — bay window caps, turret peaks, dormer flanks — are still the right call on Lafayette Square Victorians, where the city Preservation Board expects like-for-like restoration. On the flat porches, dormer valleys, and low-slope additions common to city housing, we tie metal into the existing membrane with proper drip edge and closed valleys so hail and freeze-thaw cannot find a seam. See our slate roofing in St. Louis page to compare heritage material.
Every metal roof we install in St. Louis follows the same five steps, whether it is a full standing seam on a Bevo Mill bungalow or a copper cap on a Lafayette Square dormer. Here is what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough.
We visit your St. Louis home, climb the roof, and check every plane. Photos and measurements go into a written scope you can hold. There is no charge for the visit or the report.
Next we match a panel to your home — 24-gauge standing seam, snap-lock, or exposed fastener. Color, gauge, and profile fit your block. We map drip edges and snow guards on paper.
You receive a line-itemed quote covering material, labor, tear-off, and permit costs. Financing through Hearth or GreenSky is on the table. Every question is answered up front.
Our crew strips the old roof, inspects the decking, and lays fresh underlayment. Metal panels go on with hidden clips to spec. Every ridge, valley, and rake flashing gets tight.
We walk the property with you, hand over warranty paperwork, and clean every scrap. Our 36-month workmanship warranty starts the day you sign. Post-install calls get answered fast.
Top Quality Exteriors is a family-run crew founded in 2022, with 7+ years of industry experience across the ownership team. We hold a BBB A+ rating, carry general liability and workers’ comp on every job, and stay licensed in Missouri and Illinois so we can chase storm work wherever the metro takes us. Owner Mario Granados walks the tough jobs personally, and our 52-plus team members keep small residential swaps and full standing seam installs both moving on schedule.
Metal is not a stock-and-slap install in a city where every historic district reviews material changes. We coordinate with the City of St. Louis Building Division on permits and, in Soulard or Lafayette Square, walk paperwork through the Preservation Board before we cut a single panel. Our installers know how metal ties into brick parapets, coping stones, and rear-addition dormers — the exact junctions where St. Louis leaks start. You get a real answer, not a script.
Metal is a premium install, and honest pricing is the least you deserve. In St. Louis, a full residential metal roof runs $6.10 to $13 per square foot, or about $12,000 to $26,000 for a standard home; a high-end standing seam job on a complex city home can push toward $33,000. Exposed-fastener panels sit at the value end, standing seam in the middle, and copper accents at the top. Every quote we write breaks material, tear-off, labor, and permits out separately.
The payoff shows up over time. A properly installed metal roof holds 50 years or longer against St. Louis hail — three to five significant events a season on average — while asphalt shingles are typically pulled after 20. Metal reflects summer heat, cuts attic load, and pairs cleanly with insulation upgrades to lower cooling bills. If storms do hit, our commercial roofing in St. Louis team handles multi-family and mixed-use claims.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
