If the last storm left dented flashing, missing tabs, or a nagging drip, don’t wait for the next system to make it worse. Our Kirkwood team will climb your roof, document the damage, and help you decide the honest next step for your home.
A slow-rolling hail cell on May 26, 2024 dropped roughly one-inch stones across Kirkwood, and homeowners are still finding bruised shingles and shredded ridge caps months later. Storm damage roofing in Kirkwood isn’t a one-size-fits-all job — a Victorian on North Taylor with slate valleys and copper flashing needs a very different response than a 1955 ranch off Manchester Road with two layers of asphalt. At Top Quality Exteriors, we inspect every plane before we ever quote, so you know exactly what the storm took and what belongs on the adjuster’s scope of work.
Our crews stage locally during severe-weather season, and our 24/7 emergency line is answered by a real person, not a call center or a voicemail box. We photograph hail bruising, wind-lifted tabs, and dented flashing to the exact standard adjusters expect, then walk you through your storm damage restoration in Kirkwood options before a single nail comes out. That means fewer surprises for you, a claim file that holds up under Xactimate review, and a repair plan matched to your roof’s age and pitch.
Metro St. Louis averages three to five significant hail events a year, and Kirkwood’s tree-lined streets add a second hazard other suburbs don’t face: limb-strike damage from a mature canopy that hangs directly over old-growth roofs. After the May 26, 2024 outbreak, we saw the pattern repeat across Meramec Highlands and Jefferson-Argonne — hail on the south-facing planes, wind-lifted tabs on exposed ridges, and pipe-boot cracks that only showed up two rain cycles later. Our storm inspection is a full walk of decking, underlayment, flashing, valleys, and step-flashing at every wall intersection, documented with dated photos and a written scope you can hand to your adjuster. When the roof plane is exposed or actively leaking, we deploy emergency roof tarping in Kirkwood the same day — usually within two hours. Every material choice we recommend matches your roof’s pitch, decking condition, and any historic-district guidelines that apply to your address.
Every Kirkwood storm claim we run follows the same five moves — fast triage, tight documentation, and a clean handoff to your carrier. Here’s how the process runs from your first call to the last shingle nail on the roof, one careful step at a time.
We climb your roof within 48 hours of the call, often same-day. Every plane, valley, and flashing detail gets a dated photo. You get a written report before we leave the driveway.
Hail bruising, wind-lifted tabs, and dented pipe boots get mapped by plane. We chalk-mark impact points to Xactimate standards. Your adjuster gets photos and a defensible scope.
Missouri lets your contractor attend the adjuster inspection, and we do. We walk the roof with the adjuster and flag missed damage. We file supplements when items get scoped short.
Once the claim is approved, we choose shingles, underlayment, and flashing together. Class 4 impact shingles can earn a Missouri hail discount. Historic homes get period colors.
Our crew tears off to decking, swaps rotted sheathing, and installs your system to spec. Every job carries our 36-month workmanship warranty. Manufacturer coverage stacks on top.
We’re a BBB-accredited A+ contractor licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the storm work other roofers avoid — the multi-gable Victorians, the steep dormered Tudors, and the mid-century ranches in Craigwoods with two or three layers to pull. Owner Mario Granados runs a 52-person team backed by more than seven years of industry experience, and we’ve been an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor since we founded the company in 2022.
Every storm inspection is written up on paper, not delivered verbally at the curb. Every material we install carries a real manufacturer warranty on top of our 36-month workmanship coverage. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every crew, pull permits through the Kirkwood Public Portal, and handle commercial roofing in Kirkwood too. When a Landmarks review is required on a historic-district address, we know the guidelines cold.
Most storm-damaged roofs in Kirkwood become full replacements, not spot repairs — once hail bruising compromises the shingle mat across multiple planes, insurance almost always scopes a full tear-off. Typical replacement runs $10,000 to $13,000 for a 2,000 sq ft asphalt roof, and full replacements can land anywhere from $8,000 to $22,000 depending on pitch, decking condition, and material grade. Slate or tile work on the historic side moves higher.
The good news: if your claim is approved, your out-of-pocket is usually just your deductible — typically $1,000 to $2,500. Missouri gives most homeowners 12 months to file after a storm event, some policies allow 24, and we recommend documenting damage within 30 days for the cleanest claim you can file. Any contractor who offers to waive your deductible is asking you to commit insurance fraud — walk away fast. Call (314) 618-8888 for a free storm inspection today.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
