Ready to see what your Kirkwood roof needs? Book a free on-roof inspection with Top Quality Exteriors and we’ll show you the shingle field, flashing, and decking in plain language. No pressure — just a clear plan for what comes next.
Kirkwood homes span 1850s Victorians in Meramec Highlands to 1955 ranches in Craigwoods, and no two roofs age the same way. When shingles curl above the dormers on a Foursquare near Jefferson-Argonne, or valleys leak on a Tudor just off Manchester Road, a patch job only buys weeks — not years. A full roof replacement in Kirkwood is the reset that stops water at the deck line and protects everything underneath it. That’s where Top Quality Exteriors steps in with a licensed local crew that handles historic tear-offs with real care and full site cleanup.
Every job starts with a real inspection, not a driveway estimate. We measure pitch and square footage, pull back damaged shingles to check the decking, and photograph flashing, ridge vents, ice & water shield, and pipe boots so you see exactly what we see. From there we lay out the tear-off plan, the underlayment, the shingle line, and the timing — usually one to three working days for a Kirkwood re-roof. Pair it with a follow-up roof inspection in Kirkwood to keep manufacturer warranties intact for the long haul.
After the May 26, 2024 hail event dropped roughly one-inch stones across Kirkwood, we saw the same pattern block by block: bruised shingles on south slopes, cracked mat in L-shaped valleys, and lifted step flashing where dormers meet the field. A proper replacement starts with a permit pulled through the Kirkwood Public Portal — a full tear-off requires one, and homes in the nine local historic districts or among the 85 landmarks may need Landmarks Commission design review for material and color. Once approvals clear, we tarp landscaping, pad walkways, and stage magnets before the first shingle comes off. Tear-off runs to the sheathing so we catch soft decking and re-nail to code. In go synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations, new drip edge, and step flashing at every wall. Impact-resistant, algae-resistant architectural shingles from Owens Corning hold up under Kirkwood’s tree canopy. If damage points to a smaller roof repair in Kirkwood, we say so.
Every Kirkwood roof replacement we run follows the same five steps, so nothing gets improvised. You’ll see the plan before the crew shows up, and you’ll know what happens on tear-off day. Here’s how it moves from first call to final walkthrough.
We start at your Kirkwood home with a free on-roof inspection. We photograph shingles, flashing, decking, and vents from every slope. You get a same-day report with clear findings.
Next we build a line-item estimate covering tear-off, decking, and materials. You see square footage, shingle options, and warranty tiers together. No pressure and no upcharges.
We pull the Kirkwood tear-off permit through the Public Portal for you. Materials are staged, landscaping tarped, and neighbors get a heads-up. Landmarks review handled if needed.
Crews strip the old roof to the sheathing and check every square foot of decking. Soft boards get swapped, underlayment and ice shield go down, then the new shingle line rolls out.
We sweep the yard with magnets, haul every scrap, and photograph the finished roof from all sides. You walk the property with our lead before we sign off. Warranty paperwork lands.
Top Quality Exteriors is licensed in Missouri, BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with James Hardie Alliance Program status on the siding side. Founded in 2022 with owner-led crews carrying over 7 years of industry experience, we’ve built our name on the small stuff done right — dumpster placement, magnet sweeps, protecting mature Kirkwood landscaping, and lining up drip edge tight to the fascia on every gable.
Owner Mario A. Granados runs a 52-plus person team out of Creve Coeur, and every Kirkwood project is backed by a 36-month workmanship warranty as the firm baseline — extended coverage up to a lifetime warranty is available on select products. General liability and workers’ comp insurance are in place on every job. If severe weather hits between now and your install date, our 24/7 emergency line is staffed — you’re never left waiting after a Kirkwood hailstorm.
A Kirkwood roof replacement typically runs $6 to $9 per square foot for architectural asphalt, with slate, tile, and standing seam metal climbing higher based on complexity and material grade. Steep, multi-gable historic roofs and dormer-heavy Foursquares near Meramec Highlands add tear-off labor beyond a simple gable ranch in Craigwoods. Impact-resistant shingles often trigger a Missouri insurance discount that offsets the upcharge over the life of the roof.
We flag hidden costs upfront — soft decking, sistered rafters, chimney chase rebuilds, or a vent stack that needs relocating — so the estimate you sign is the invoice you pay at the end. Financing through Hearth or GreenSky keeps monthly payments manageable if paying out of pocket isn’t the plan for your household. Many Kirkwood owners also pair a re-roof with new asphalt shingles in Kirkwood for the best long-term value under the local tree canopy.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
