House Springs roofing, at a glance
Shade and trees shape almost every roof problem in House Springs, from moss on north slopes to limbs on the ridge after a storm.
We look at the trees as part of the roof inspection, because they decide how long your shingles will last. The inspection is free. Call (314) 429-6000 and a person picks up day or night.
Roof problems that come with wooded lots
Moss and algae
North-facing slopes under oaks stay damp for days. Moss lifts shingle edges and holds water. Algae-resistant shingles slow the dark streaking.
Debris in valleys
Leaves and twigs pile up where two roof planes meet. Trapped water then works under the shingles. We clear valleys and check the metal or woven shingles under them.
Limb strikes
A falling branch can crack shingles and punch the decking. After a storm we check for impact damage even when nothing is visible from the yard.
Clogged gutters
Gutters under trees fill fast. We can add guards or move downspouts so runoff clears the house on a sloped lot.
Getting a crew and materials up the hill
Long, steep driveways are normal here. We plan for them before the trucks arrive.
During the free inspection we check where a delivery truck can park and whether shingles can be loaded to the roof by conveyor or need to be carried. We put down tarps to protect landscaping, use a dump trailer that fits the driveway, and run magnets across the yard and gravel to pick up nails. On most homes the tear-off and new roof take one day. Weather in the hills can turn fast, so we only open a roof we can close the same day.
Repair or replace: how we decide
Look at the whole roof
We check every slope, the flashing, the vents and the attic if you let us in.
Separate damage from age
A few storm-damaged shingles on a young roof is a repair. Widespread granule loss and brittle tabs point to replacement.

Trimming matters as much as the shingles you pick. Branches that rest on the roof scrub the granules off every time the wind moves them, and a limb hanging over the ridge keeps that whole slope shaded and wet. We point out the limbs that are doing harm during the inspection so you can have them cut back before the new roof goes on. We do not do the tree work ourselves, but we will tell you exactly which limbs matter and why.
For roofs that sit in heavy shade, we often recommend algae-resistant architectural shingles and good attic ventilation, which together help the deck dry out after rain.
