Roof repair in St. Louis

Signs your roof needs attention

Watch for lifted or missing shingles, exposed fasteners, damaged flashing and water stains inside. Granules near downspouts can be a reason to ask about roof condition, but do not diagnose the roof from that observation alone. Tell us whether a problem is new, recurring or connected to recent storms.

• Note the room and approximate location of any stain.
• Describe when leaks appear and how long they last.
• Keep records of previous repairs and roofing work.

Targeted shingle and flashing repairs

Repairability depends on the condition of surrounding shingles, access to damaged details and the availability of compatible materials. Flashing at walls, chimneys and penetrations may need attention even when the shingles look intact. Repeated surface sealant applications are not always a lasting solution to an incorrectly formed roof detail.

Know when replacement deserves consideration

If deterioration extends across the roof, a small repair may not address the larger problem. Compare the expected scope of repair with a replacement proposal, including decking condition and recurring leak history. Ask what the proposed work fixes and what it does not.
