Ready to talk through your Clayton tile roof? A call to (314) 618-8888 gets your free inspection on the calendar within two business days. You will leave that visit with photos, a written scope, and a straight answer on repair or replacement.
Your 1920s Tudor or Spanish Revival in Carrswold or Claverach Park was built with clay tile for a reason, and swapping it for asphalt strips the home of its original character. Top Quality Exteriors handles tile roofing in Clayton MO with the specialty tools and trained crews these steep-pitch, multi-valley roofs demand. We source matching barrel tiles, rebuild ridge lines with fresh mortar, and rework copper flashing so the profile still reads true to the original 1922 build, whether the job is a targeted panel repair or a full lift and full reset.
Every project starts with a walk of the roof deck, an attic check for staining, and photo documentation you can hand to your insurer or the architectural review committee. From there we scope the repair or full lift, order tile that matches the era of the home, and set a schedule that respects your neighborhood’s noise and access rules. Homeowners weighing a full roof replacement in Clayton also get an honest read on whether restoration beats a complete tear-off before we pull a single tile.
Clayton’s pre-war housing stock, over a third built before 1939, includes some of the metro’s finest Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, and steep-gable Tudor homes. Clay and concrete tile were specified for these roofs because they last 75 to 100 years, shed water off complex valleys, and handle Missouri’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking the way cheaper materials do. On the flip side, they are heavy, brittle underfoot, and unforgiving of amateur repairs, which is why so many of the tile roofs across Carrswold, Claverach Park, and the Wydown-Forsyth corridor need real specialists rather than a shingle crew borrowing a walking pad. We install natural clay barrel tile, flat concrete tile, and synthetic slate-and-tile lookalikes from DaVinci or Brava when weight or budget rules out the original spec. Every reset ties into new synthetic underlayment, batten runs, and copper flashing sized for the pitch. If your home also needs residential roofing work on porches or dormers, we roll it in.
Tile roofs punish shortcuts, so every Clayton project runs through the same five stages. Each stage has a clear checkpoint before we move on, and you get photos, notes, and a written scope at every step. Call (314) 618-8888 to get on our board.
We climb your Clayton roof and log every cracked tile, flashing gap, or worn ridge. Attic timbers get a moisture read that same visit. Written report lands in two business days.
We write a line-item quote separating repair, partial reset, and full tear-off options. Tile brand, underlayment, and copper gauge are all named. Nothing hides in a vague lump sum.
Clayton requires architectural review plus a Planning permit at 314-290-8450 on exterior work. We prep the application and route color samples. You just sign the authorization.
Our crew tarps landscaping and stages tile on the ground. We tear off in sections, dry in with synthetic underlayment, and reset to original coursing. Copper flashes each valley.
Once the last ridge tile is bedded we vacuum for stray fasteners. We walk you through the finished roof plane by plane using drone photos. Warranty paperwork is signed that day.
Top Quality Exteriors is a BBB-accredited, A+ rated contractor licensed in Missouri, and our lead tile installers bring seven-plus years of hands-on experience with clay, concrete, and synthetic tile profiles. We are an Owens Corning Preferred contractor for underlayment and accessory systems, which matters on tile jobs because the membrane below the tile field is what actually keeps water out during a Missouri thunderstorm or spring hail event.
Local know-how counts on these Clayton roofs. Architectural review rejects the wrong tile color or profile faster than most homeowners expect, and we have routed samples through the Planning office at 314-290-8450 enough times to know what clears the first pass. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every job, so a slipped tile at eave height never becomes your problem. Every install is backed by our 36-month workmanship warranty as the firm baseline.
Clay and concrete tile roofing in Clayton usually runs $12 to $25 per square foot installed, so a 2,400 square foot Carrswold roof lands between $28,000 and $60,000 depending on tile type, waste factor from steep valleys, and how much decking or batten work turns up during tear-off. Synthetic slate-and-tile lookalikes from DaVinci or Brava run lower, roughly $9 to $16 per square foot, and weigh a fraction of natural clay, which sometimes makes them the right call.
Repairs are much easier on the wallet. Replacing a cluster of cracked barrel tiles usually runs $400 to $1,200, ridge rebuilds with fresh mortar sit around $800 to $2,500, and copper valley reworks depend on linear feet and gauge. Hearth and GreenSky financing let qualified homeowners spread larger projects across manageable monthly payments. We also handle slate roofing for homes originally spec’d with natural slate rather than tile.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
