Just under 20 squares on Exacta Court in the north end of Florissant. The homeowner chose GAF Royal Sovereign, a traditional flat three-tab profile, which keeps a compact, simply framed roof looking the way it was originally built instead of trading it for a heavier dimensional look.

Roofing in north Florissant (63034)
The 63034 ZIP covers the northern stretch of Florissant, where much of the housing went up during the post-war building boom: brick and frame ranches, split-levels and modest two-stories with plain gable and hip roofs. Houses of that vintage are commonly on their second or third roof, so the tear-off is where we find out what the earlier re-roofs left behind — soft decking along the eaves, nails driven through old layers, or vents that were simply shingled around.
A roof of about 20 squares is a small job by square footage, but it gets the same inspection of the deck, the same new edge metal and the same attic-ventilation check as a large one. Small roofs rarely fail in the field of the shingle; they fail at the edges, the pipe boots and the ridge.

Why a three-tab roof still gets the full system underneath
Royal Sovereign is GAF's three-tab line: a single-layer shingle with a uniform, flat appearance. Because a three-tab is lighter than an architectural shingle, what sits under it matters even more. On Exacta Court that meant a full synthetic underlayment over the deck, a self-adhered ice and water roll at the eaves and valleys, a purpose-made starter strip at the edges, and matching GAF hip and ridge cap at the peaks.
Ventilation was finished with a Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent. A three-tab shingle cooked from below by a hot, unvented attic ages visibly faster, so exhaust at the ridge paired with open soffit intake is part of the roof, not an option added to it.
Who did the work
Crews from our St. Louis office tore off and installed this roof. North County is one of the areas we work most often — this was one of two Florissant roofs we completed in the same week. See our lifetime workmanship warranty and 24/7 emergency service, or call our St. Louis office.

Questions homeowners ask about this project
Is a three-tab shingle still a good choice in Florissant?
It can be. A three-tab like GAF Royal Sovereign has a flat, uniform look and a lower material cost. An architectural shingle is thicker and dimensional. We bring both to the inspection so you can compare them against your house before deciding.
How big was this roof?
19.67 squares — about 1,967 square feet of roof surface. Roofs are measured by the square (100 square feet), not by the home's floor area.
Do you publish the customer's address?
No. We publish the street name, city and ZIP so you can see the work is in your area, and we leave off the house number. We never publish a customer's name.
