Frontenac Roofing Contractor, at a glance
Frontenac roofs are bigger and more complicated than their square footage suggests, and the cost of a job here is driven by the number of transitions, not the number of squares. Valleys, dormers, chimneys and sidewalls are where the money and the leaks both live. Call (314) 429-6000 any hour.
Where a Frontenac roof actually fails
On a simple gable the shingle is the roof. On a Frontenac house with four dormers and three chimneys, the shingle is the easy part. Open valleys, cricket flashing behind a wide chimney, and the sidewall where a two-story section meets a one-story run are the details that decide how long the roof lasts.
We price those details out loud. If a job needs new copper counterflashing let into the mortar joint rather than caulk smeared over the old work, that is in the estimate with the reason attached. Bids that come in low on a house like this are usually low because those lines are missing.

Matching what is already on the house
Half of the work on a Frontenac replacement is making the new roof look like it belongs on the house.
Color, profile and shadow line all matter more on a broad hip roof that is visible from the street across a long lawn. We bring full-size samples to the house and look at them against the brick and the trim in daylight rather than choosing from a paper swatch in an office.
Where slate, tile or standing seam is already on part of the house, the transition between materials has to be flashed rather than sealed. We handle those junctions as metal work and we will tell you honestly when a section is better left alone than modernized.
What separates a real bid from a cheap one
On a complex roof these are the lines that go missing when a price looks too good.
- Counterflashing cut into the mortar joint instead of surface-sealed against old brick
- Crickets built behind wide chimneys so water is diverted rather than pooled
- Open valleys detailed in metal where the water volume calls for it
- Deck inspection and sheathing replacement priced before the tear-off starts
- Ventilation calculated for the actual attic volume, not one ridge vent run out of habit
- Lifetime workmanship warranty and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred installation
Frontenac roofing questions
Can you match an existing roof if only one section needs work?
Often, and we will show you the match before committing. Where an exact match is no longer manufactured we say so rather than hoping you do not notice from the ground.
Do you protect landscaping during a tear-off?
Yes. Materials get staged on plywood, beds get covered, and the property is swept with magnets at the end of every day rather than once at the end of the job.
How long does a large Frontenac roof take?
Two to four days depending on the number of transitions and the pitch. We give you the schedule before we start and tell you if weather moves it.
Do you work with insurance on a home this size?
We do. Documentation is photographed slope by slope and we meet the adjuster on the roof so the scope reflects what is actually up there.
Are you licensed, insured and bonded?
All three, and certificates go out before the crew arrives. We have been a family-run company in this market since 1947.
