Ready to trade your worn asphalt or aging slate for a metal roof that outlasts the mortgage? Call our University City team at (314) 618-8888 for a free on-site review. We will walk the roof, price the panels, and prep any approvals.
If you own a landmark home south of Delmar and your original slate or standing seam roof is finally at the end of its life, metal roofing university city mo homeowners can rely on isn’t a stock catalog pick. At Top Quality Exteriors, we plan every panel around the steep American Shingle Style rooflines, dormers, and turrets that define Parkview and University Heights, then match copper flashing at chimney and valley junctions where old brick meets the roof. Upgrading from a 20-year asphalt tear-off buys you a 50-plus-year investment instead.
Metal also gives you impact resistance that shrugs off the 2.25-inch, tennis-ball-size hail this ZIP code caught in 2024 — a year that dropped 83 documented hail reports inside a 10-mile radius of University City. Our crews spec 24-gauge or 26-gauge steel, Galvalume, aluminum, copper, and zinc with a Kynar 500 finish, then pair the metal profile with slate roofing in University City when the Parkview board of trustees wants the original slate look preserved on the front elevation of a landmark home.
Homeowners near the Delmar Loop-Parkview Gardens Historic District ask us for standing seam more than any other profile, and for good reason: hidden fasteners, clean vertical sightlines, and a mechanical lock that stays watertight on the low-slope porch returns common in University Heights. We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel, Galvalume, aluminum for the humid summers here, plus copper and zinc for landmark-adjacent projects that need a museum-grade finish. Every job includes proper synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, snow guards above entryways, and matched ridge cap and valley flashing. If your home sits within 300 feet of a landmark or historic overlay, we handle the 45-day Historic Preservation Commission review and prep the panel-profile and color submittal for the board of trustees before a single panel is ordered. Need a low-slope back addition covered too? Ask about pairing metal with commercial roofing in University City membranes.
Every metal roof we install in University City moves through the same five steps, from the first ladder set to the final ridge cap. Here is how we keep your project on schedule, on budget, and on the right side of the historic review board.
We walk the roof, measure the pitch, and photograph every valley, dormer, and chimney flashing. We check decking for rot and note historic details. Then you get a clear panel plan.
We bring Galvalume, steel, aluminum, copper, and Kynar 500 finish color chips to your kitchen table. We match trim, chimney brick, and existing copper. Board options come first.
We register with the City of University City, pull your reroof permit, and file the HPC packet if you sit within 300 feet of a landmark. Trustee questions get fast answers back.
Our crew tears off the old roof, replaces bad decking, and lays synthetic underlayment plus ice and water shield. Panels then go on with hidden fasteners and copper valley work.
We magnet-sweep the yard, blow the gutters, and walk every seam and flashing with you. You get photos, a 36-month workmanship warranty, and manufacturer paperwork in your name.

Metal roofing in University City typically runs about $6.10 to $13 per square foot installed, putting a full replacement in the $12,000 to $26,000 range for the average home. Steep, cut-up Parkview or University Heights rooflines with copper valley work and a Kynar 500 standing seam finish can push the total to $33,000 or more on landmark homes. Your final number depends on square footage, panel gauge, roof pitch, and whether the tear-off uncovers rotted decking.
The math still works because you are buying a 50-plus-year roof instead of paying for an asphalt tear-off every 20 years. Hearth and GreenSky financing keep monthly payments manageable, and you can offset the upgrade with impact resistance that lowered claim rates after the 2024 hail season. Ask us to compare a metal quote against asphalt shingles in University City line by line — we walk through gauge, seam type, and total payback.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
