Spanish Lake roofing, at a glance
Most Spanish Lake homes we inspect were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and many are now on their second or third layer of shingles. That extra weight and the trapped heat between layers shorten the life of whatever goes on top. Call (314) 429-6000 and a person picks up, day or night.
What we find on Spanish Lake roofs
Wind off the Missouri River bottoms hits this part of the county without much in the way.
Spanish Lake sits on high ground above the Columbia Bottom area, and storms that build over the river flats reach these neighborhoods fast. We see lifted shingle tabs on the west and north slopes after almost every strong line of thunderstorms. Once a tab breaks its seal strip it keeps flapping in every wind that follows, and the nail holes underneath start letting water through.
The other common problem is layering. A lot of ranch houses here had a second roof nailed over the first in the 1980s or 1990s to save on tear-off. That was legal then. The trouble now is that the old layer hides soft decking, and the new shingles never sit flat over it. When we replace one of these roofs we strip every layer to the boards, replace the bad plywood or plank sheathing, and start clean.

Emergency tarping
Water inside the house at night gets a tarp first and a proper repair once it is safe to work.
