Ready for a straight-shooting quote on your St. Louis roof replacement? Call us at (314) 618-8888 to schedule your no-cost inspection, and we’ll arrive with a drone, a ladder, and a written report on the same visit, usually within a few days.
A leaking, hail-bruised, or two-decades-old roof over a brick two-flat on Morganford or a bungalow on The Hill isn’t something you patch and forget. Roof replacement in St. Louis means matching your home’s era, respecting the parapet-and-coping detail every South City rowhouse hides behind, and pulling the right City Building Division permit before we lift a shingle. Top Quality Exteriors handles the full scope from Dutchtown to Carondelet, including tear-off, decking, ice and water shield, drip edge, ridge vent, and code-required attic ventilation upgrades.
Most St. Louis homeowners come to us after a hail hit, a coping-mortar failure, or a tear-off quote that skipped the ventilation math. We tear a pitched roof down to the deck, sister any bad boards, install synthetic underlayment with proper valleys, then set architectural shingles or a standing-seam panel to your neighborhood’s look. On historic-district homes in Lafayette Square or Soulard, we also handle Preservation Board sign-off before the permit issues, and if you need a roof repair in St. Louis first to buy time, we’ll do that too.
Every St. Louis replacement runs a little differently once you get above the parapet or over the century-old rafters, but the sequence stays the same. We start with a drone-and-hands inspection, mark soft spots and popped nails, then design the tear-off around your decking condition and the roof pitch. On a Tower Grove bungalow with a 6/12 pitch, that usually means one layer of asphalt coming off, 1×6 boards replaced where the wood is punky, ice and water shield six feet up the eave, synthetic underlayment across the field, and architectural shingles like Owens Corning Duration set with a six-nail pattern. For flat and low-slope sections behind brick parapets — the norm on Soulard rowhouses and Dutchtown two-flats — we swap the mod-bit or EPDM out, re-flash the coping and any chimney, and coordinate tuckpointing so the wall junction sheds water again. Hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters chew up sealants fast, so we always tie a fresh roof inspection in St. Louis into the closeout.
Replacing a roof in the city is a coordination job as much as a shingle job. Here’s the five-step sequence we run on every project, from the first Dutchtown site walk to the last coping-cap detail, so you know what happens and when.
We climb your St. Louis roof and check the field, valleys, and parapet coping. Photos and measurements land in one clean written report. You keep it whether you hire us or not.
If a May storm bruised shingles or ridge, we sit in on the adjuster meeting. Scope gets written in Xactimate language your carrier accepts. Missouri gives a 12-month claim window.
We walk shingle profiles, standing seam, or synthetic slate against your block’s look. Colors get pulled against brick facades in daylight. Then we pull the City Building permit.
Tear-off starts at first light with tarps over gardens and driveway. Bad decking swaps out, ice and water shield drops in, and shingles set by sundown. Metal drops in the dumpster.
We magnet-sweep the yard twice and hand you a punchlist walk. Every valley, vent, and coping-flash detail gets reviewed with you on the ground. Warranty paperwork closes the visit.
Real budget context beats price ranges pulled from a national blog. In St. Louis, a typical 2,000 square-foot asphalt tear-off with Owens Corning Duration or a comparable architectural shingle lands in the $10,000 to $13,000 range, and most full replacements across our jobs come in between $8,000 and $22,000 depending on pitch, layers, decking condition, and access. Metal, standing seam, or synthetic slate on a Holly Hills bungalow moves that number up fast.
Most replacements here are insurance-funded after hail or a straight-line wind event, so out-of-pocket usually equals your deductible — most St. Louis policies land in the $1,000 to $2,500 range. If you were hit by the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado or another storm this year, Missouri gives you 12 months to file your claim, and your contractor has the statutory right to be at the adjuster meeting. We attend every one and price to your carrier’s scope, not around it.
We install every major residential system in the city — architectural asphalt shingles in St. Louis (Owens Corning Duration and three-tab options), 24-gauge standing-seam metal in Galvalume or Kynar-finish colors, natural and synthetic slate on Lafayette Square Victorians, and clay or concrete tile on 1920s gingerbread homes. Every deck gets synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys, and drip edge along every rake and eave, per current Missouri code.
Our crews are 52 members strong, licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and carry general liability plus workers’ comp on every job. Most St. Louis pitched roofs finish in one to two days once tear-off starts; flat mod-bit or TPO sections behind parapets add a day for coping detail and re-flashing. Every project ships with a 36-month workmanship warranty, and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status unlocks longer manufacturer coverage on qualifying systems.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
