On Sunshine Drive in St. Louis, MO (south city, in the St. Louis Hills and Princeton Heights area), the crew tore off and replaced a 18.00-square roof, right around the size of a typical single-story ranch. It was one of 27 roof replacements our crews completed in St. Louis in September 2026. IKO Dynasty in Driftshake went over synthetic underlayment across the full deck, with ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys.

The color on this roof: Driftshake
This house got Driftshake. A small swatch never tells the whole story, because a full roof reads lighter or darker depending on how the slopes face and the light hits them. Driftshake has been one of the more popular picks lately: it went on 5 of the roofs in this recent-projects set. If you like it, ask us to bring a full-size piece out and hold it up against your own house.
The roofing system on this house
IKO Dynasty is a laminated architectural shingle built around a wide reinforced nailing strip IKO calls ArmourZone, which gives the installer a generous target and holds the fasteners where they belong. The shingle is only the top layer. Here’s the full system that went on this house:
- Synthetic underlayment over the whole deck. It’s stronger and more tear-resistant than felt, and it lies flat if weather rolls in during the tear-off.
- Ice and water membrane at the eaves and in the valleys. This self-adhering layer goes where water backs up: behind ice dams at the eaves and where two slopes meet.
- IKO Starter strip along every edge. The first course is where wind gets under a roof. A factory starter with its own sealant line locks it down.
- IKO Hip & Ridge on the hips and peak. Matching cap shingles made for the job, not field shingles cut into pieces.
- Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent. It runs along the peak and lets hot, damp attic air escape. That protects the decking and keeps shingles from baking from below.
