Ready to talk about a tile roof that fits your Frontenac home for the next fifty years? Reach out and I will walk the property, look at the structure, and put a real number on paper. No pressure, no high-bid theatrics, just straight answers.
Your French Provincial home off Conway Road deserves a tile roof that holds its own against the three to five significant hail events the St. Louis metro sees each year and our brutal Missouri freeze-thaw cycles. At Top Quality Exteriors, we install clay and concrete tile systems engineered for the steep, multi-gable rooflines that define Frontenac’s one-acre lots. From new builds near Plaza Frontenac to matched tile restoration on 1950s and 60s custom homes, our crews bring premium-material craft and clean job-site habits to every square.
Tile is a long-horizon material that fits how Frontenac homeowners think: fifty-plus years of service life, Class A fire resistance, and a profile that complements Austin white limestone, brick, and stucco exteriors. Our process starts with verifying decking and framing can carry the added load, then layers self-adhered underlayment, batten systems, and corrosion-resistant fasteners before the first tile sets. We coordinate the tear-off with a complete roof replacement in Frontenac when the structure underneath has reached end of life.
Frontenac’s housing stock skews toward larger custom-built homes on one- to three-acre lots, with steep, complex roof geometry that punishes generic shingle installs. Tile, by contrast, lives comfortably on those rooflines for fifty years and longer when the substrate is built right. Our installations start at the deck: we verify rafter spacing and structural capacity, since a clay tile field can weigh 900 to 1,100 pounds per square and concrete can hit 1,200, then we layer high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and treated battens before any tile sets. Every penetration gets lead or copper flashing, and ridges are mortared or mechanically secured to handle the straight-line winds that came through with the late-May 2025 EF3 event. We pull a Frontenac permit on every job and build to the city’s adopted 2021 IRC code. When existing tile needs matching after hail, our storm damage roofing in Frontenac team sources original profiles from regional yards.
A tile roof is a fifty-year commitment, so we map it out before we tear off a single course. Here is how a typical Frontenac tile project moves from first call to final cleanup, with structural prep and code-driven detail work at every step.
We meet at your home and walk the existing roof together. I note tile profile goals and any subdivision aesthetic rules. A written estimate reaches you within two business days.
My team verifies rafter sizing and spacing before tile is ordered. We photograph existing decking, ventilation, and flashing. Any reinforcement gets quoted up front, not mid-job.
I bring clay and concrete sample boards out for color matching. We confirm warranty terms and how the tile pairs with your trim. Final selections lock in before we place the order.
Crews strip the roof to bare deck and roll out ice-and-water shield. Self-adhered underlayment and treated battens cover the field. Landscaping stays covered and protected all day.
Tiles set course by course with copper at each penetration. Ridges and hips are mortared or fastened against wind uplift. We walk the finished roof and hand over warranty papers.
Tile is a specialist material, and the difference between a roof that lasts fifty years and one that fails at ten lives in details most crews skip. Our installers come out of premium-material training, not asphalt-only backgrounds, so they know how to set a tile field over treated battens, cut clean miters into a valley, and weave hips and ridges without breakage. On steep Frontenac pitches we stage materials in small loads to spare both the deck and your landscaping.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022 by Mario Granados, and our team brings over seven years of industry experience to every job. We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri and carrying general liability and workers’ compensation. Every tile install ships with a 36-month workmanship warranty, and select systems qualify for extended coverage up to a lifetime.
A tile roof costs more upfront than asphalt because it does more: a properly installed clay or concrete system outlasts three asphalt replacements while delivering Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact ratings on many profiles, and serious curb appeal against limestone and brick. For Frontenac homeowners thinking in decades, that math usually pencils out, especially when you factor in premium reductions some carriers offer for impact-rated roofs in our hail corridor.
Pricing depends on tile type, roof complexity, and whether the deck and structure need reinforcement, so I quote every Frontenac project on site rather than from a generic per-square table. Hearth and GreenSky financing options are available for homeowners who want to spread the investment over time, and we can phase a job around a planned slate roofing in Frontenac consultation if you are weighing both premium materials side by side.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
