How to Hire Roofing Companies in St. Louis

Your roof is your home's first defense against St. Louis's challenging weather, from severe thunderstorms and hail to heavy snow and ice. A quality roof installation should last 20-30 years for asphalt shingles, but poor workmanship or storm damage can cut that dramatically short. Choosing the right roofer matters both for the work quality and for navigating insurance claims when storms hit.

What Roofing Companies Do

  • Complete roof replacement (shingles, flat roofs, metal)
  • Storm damage repair and insurance claim assistance
  • Roof leak detection and repair
  • Flashing repair around chimneys, vents, and skylights
  • Gutter installation and repair
  • Roof inspections for real estate transactions
  • Ventilation improvements (ridge vents, soffit vents)
  • Ice dam prevention and repair

When to Hire a Roofing Companie

Get a roof inspection after any significant storm, if you notice missing or damaged shingles, or if your roof is approaching 20 years old. Signs of needed repair include ceiling water stains, granules in gutters, curling shingles, or daylight visible through roof boards in the attic. Don't wait until leaks cause interior damage.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring

  • Do you have manufacturer certifications (GAF, Owens Corning, etc.)?
  • What warranty do you offer on workmanship vs. materials?
  • Do you handle insurance claims and work with adjusters?
  • Will you remove old shingles or install over existing?
  • How do you protect my landscaping and property during work?
  • Do you use subcontractors or your own crews?
  • What happens if it rains during my project?

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Door-to-door solicitation immediately after storms
  • Offers to waive your insurance deductible (this is insurance fraud)
  • Pressures you to sign contract before insurance adjuster visits
  • No physical local address or just arrived in town
  • Cannot provide proof of liability insurance and workers comp
  • Demands large deposit before materials are ordered
  • Unwilling to provide written warranty

Cost Considerations in St. Louis

Roof replacement in St. Louis costs $5,000-$15,000+ for an average home depending on size, pitch, and materials. Asphalt shingles run $3.50-$5.50 per square foot installed; architectural shingles cost slightly more but last longer. Repairs range from $200-$1,000+ depending on extent. For storm damage, your homeowner's insurance typically covers replacement minus deductible if damage exceeds repair thresholds.
