Jennings Roofing Contractor, at a glance
Jennings is a brick city, and brick houses hide roof trouble longer than frame houses do, so the leaks we get called to here have usually been running quietly behind a parapet or a chimney for a season or more. A free inspection catches that early. Call (314) 429-6000 any hour.
What we find on Jennings roofs
Solid houses, long service lives, and details that need attention before the shingle does.
The brick two story and brick ranch stock through Jennings was built well, and the framing is usually sound decades later. What ages faster is everything that penetrates the roof surface. Chimney counterflashing pulls out of the mortar joint, step flashing gets caulked instead of replaced, pipe boots split. Any one of those runs water into a wall cavity where you will not see a stain for months.
We also see a lot of shallow pitch porch and addition roofs on these houses, often covered in rolled material that has passed its service life. A shallow roof does not shed water, it holds it, so the seams are where the job lives or dies. Those sections get a different material and a different detail from the main roof, and we price them separately so you can see what you are paying for.

After a storm in Jennings
Hail that comes through North County rarely hits every street the same way. One block takes it hard and the next one three hundred yards over shows almost nothing. That is why we inspect the specific address rather than quoting off a map of the storm cell.
What we look for is bruising that gives under a thumb, granule loss at the downspout outlets, creased tabs on the windward slopes, and dents in the soft metals like vents and gutter aprons, which often tell the story before the shingles do. All of it gets photographed with the date.
If there is a claim worth filing, we handle the adjuster meeting with you. If there is not, we say so. We would rather get the call in four years than sell a replacement your roof did not need.
Jennings roofing questions
Do you work in Jennings regularly, or only after storms?
Year round. Our crews run North County every week out of the Maryland Heights shop, and we have covered this part of the county since 1947. We are not a storm outfit that shows up for a season and leaves.
There is a stain on my ceiling but I do not see missing shingles. What now?
That is the common Jennings call, and it is usually flashing rather than field shingle. We trace it from the attic side where we can get access, then confirm on the roof. The inspection is free either way.
Do you handle the insurance company for me?
We document the damage, write the scope your insurer needs, and meet the adjuster on the roof. You stay the policyholder and you make the decisions, but you do not have to argue the roof part alone.
What warranty comes with the work?
A lifetime workmanship warranty on qualifying work, plus the manufacturer coverage on the materials. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor we can extend the strongest system warranties available on a qualifying replacement.
Can you repair just the low slope porch roof?
Yes, and often that is the right call. Low slope sections need a material made for standing water rather than a shingle, and we quote that piece on its own.
