High Ridge roofing, at a glance

Split-level homes in High Ridge have more roof edges, more wall-to-roof joints and more low-slope sections than a simple ranch, and each of those is a place a leak can start.

We find those spots during a free inspection and give you a written plan. Our phones at (314) 429-6000 are answered by a person 24 hours a day.

Where split-level roofs leak

These are the details we check first on High Ridge homes.

Roof-to-wall joints

Where a lower roof meets the upper story, step flashing behind the siding often fails. We open the siding and replace it properly.

Low garage roofs

Some garages and porches are too flat for shingles. A low-slope membrane is the right fix there.

Short valleys

Multi-level designs create small valleys that collect leaves from the woods. We check the lining underneath.

Exposed ridgelines

Homes on the crest of a hill take the wind first. We look for lifted and missing shingles on the windward side.

Attic ventilation

Separate attic spaces on each level each need intake and exhaust. One ridge vent does not serve them all.

Skylights from the 1980s

Older skylight flashing kits wear out. We reflash or replace them during a re-roof.

A full replacement in High Ridge

A replacement starts with a tear-off to the decking. We replace any soft or delaminated sheathing, install ice and water barrier in the valleys and along the eaves, cover the rest with synthetic underlayment, and set new drip edge. Then the shingles go on with the nailing pattern the manufacturer requires, along with new pipe boots, flashing and ridge vent sized to the attic.

Steep driveways and sloped yards are common on the ridge. We plan delivery and debris removal during the inspection so the work day runs on schedule, and we clean the yard with magnets before we leave.

Because split-levels have several attic spaces, ventilation gets its own line in our estimate. Each section of attic needs a way for cool air to enter at the eaves and warm, damp air to leave near the ridge. When one section is sealed off, it runs hot in summer, shortens shingle life above it, and can drip condensation onto the ceiling in winter. We look at each space separately and add intake or exhaust where it is missing, instead of putting one long ridge vent on top and calling it done.

Questions about high Ridge roofing

Owners of split-level and hillside homes in 63049 usually want to know these.

Why does my split-level leak where the roofs meet the wall?
That joint relies on step flashing tucked behind the siding. If it was skipped, rusted or caulked over, water runs down the wall and into the ceiling. Replacing the flashing usually solves it.
Can a flat garage roof get shingles?
Shingles need a minimum pitch to shed water. Below that, we install a low-slope membrane that ties into the shingled roof above.
Do you serve all of High Ridge?
Yes, all of 63049 and the neighboring parts of Jefferson County, including House Springs and Fenton.
Are inspections free in High Ridge?
Yes, the inspection and written estimate are free, with no obligation.
