Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential roof replacements in St. Louis take 1-3 days to complete. The exact timeline depends on several factors including the size of your roof, weather conditions, complexity of the roof design, and the materials being installed. We'll provide you with a specific timeline during your free estimate.

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for St. Louis homes due to their durability, affordability, and performance in our climate. We recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for hail resistance, as St. Louis experiences frequent severe storms. Premium brands like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning offer excellent warranties and can withstand Missouri's temperature extremes, heavy rain, and hail.

We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after any major storm event with hail or high winds. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become expensive problems and can extend the life of your roof significantly.

Standard asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15-25 years in the St. Louis area, depending on the quality of materials, installation, maintenance, and weather exposure. Premium architectural shingles can last 25-30 years or more. Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, while tile and slate roofs can last 50-100+ years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help maximize your roof's lifespan.

Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by storms, hail, wind, fire, or other covered perils. However, damage from normal wear and tear, poor maintenance, or aging is typically not covered. We recommend having your roof inspected after any major storm. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process to maximize your coverage.

The process starts with documenting the damage through a professional inspection. We'll take detailed photos and measurements. Next, you file a claim with your insurance company. An adjuster will inspect the damage. We can meet with the adjuster and provide our assessment. Once approved, you pay your deductible and we complete the work. We handle all the paperwork and work directly with your insurance company to ensure you get proper coverage.

First, ensure your safety and document visible damage with photos. Look for missing shingles, dents, or leaks. Contact us immediately for an emergency inspection - we offer 24/7 emergency services. Don't wait to file a claim, as insurance companies often have time limits. We can provide temporary repairs to prevent further damage while you work through the insurance process. Never sign with a contractor who goes door-to-door after storms.

Absolutely! We have extensive experience working with insurance companies and can help with every step of the claims process. We'll provide detailed documentation, meet with adjusters on-site, help interpret insurance estimates, and ensure you receive fair compensation for the damage.
