Richmond Heights Roofing Contractor, at a glance
Most Richmond Heights roofs we open up were installed over one or two older layers, and that hidden weight is what turns a simple repair conversation into a tear-off conversation. We photograph what is actually up there before we quote anything. Call (314) 429-6000 and someone answers, day or night.
What Richmond Heights housing does to roofs
The older housing here was built with steep, cut-up rooflines: dormers, hips, and short valleys that shed water fast but give you a dozen places for flashing to fail. Nine times out of ten the leak is a valley or a chimney counter-flashing, not the field of the roof.
The newer infill off Big Bend is a different animal. Wider spans, shallower pitch, and ventilation that was designed on paper and then blocked with insulation during the finish trades. Those roofs cook. A shingle rated for thirty years gives you eighteen if the attic runs hot all summer, and we find that constantly in this ZIP.

The crew works your street
Material delivered, tear-off and dry-in the same day on most houses, then we walk it with you.
Repair or replace, honestly
The split is usually simple. If the shingle mat is still flexible and the failure is local, repair. If shingles crack when you lift them, the granules are gone off the south slope, and there's more than one layer under you, a repair just buys a season and costs money you'll spend again.
We put both numbers on the same page when both are real options. Some Richmond Heights customers repair a valley, get four more years, and call us back when they're ready. That's a fine outcome and we'd rather have it than a rushed sale.
Everything we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we're an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, so the manufacturer's system coverage is available on top of that. See how the warranty works.

After a storm in Richmond Heights
Wind damage here rarely looks like damage. A creased shingle lies back down and reads as normal from the driveway. Hail bruises the mat under the granules, and the roof keeps working for two or three summers before the fracture opens up and the ceiling stains.
That's the whole reason the inspection is free and the photographs matter. We date findings against the storm record, and if there's a legitimate claim we'll meet the adjuster on the roof with you. How we handle insurance claims.
Richmond Heights roofing questions
Do you pull permits in Richmond Heights?
We do, and we schedule around the city's inspection window so the job doesn't sit open. The permit cost goes in the written estimate up front rather than showing up later as an extra.
My roof has two layers already. Can you add a third?
No. Missouri code stops at two layers, and a third would overload framing that was sized in the 1930s. We'd rather lose the sale than put weight on rafters that can't carry it.
How long does a Richmond Heights tear-off take?
One day on most houses here, two if the decking is bad or the roof has a lot of cut-up dormer work. Lots are tight, so we stage the dumpster on the drive and sweep magnetically before we leave.
Will you match the slate-look shingle my neighbors have?
Usually. Architectural shingles come in profiles that read close to slate from the street, and we'll bring physical samples out rather than asking you to pick from a screen.
Is the estimate really free, with no pressure?
Yes. Free inspection, free written estimate, and if your roof has six good years left we'll say so and put that in writing too.
