Roofing in Spanish Lake is not complicated work, but it is unforgiving work. A valley detailed wrong or flashing reused from the old roof will find you during the first hard rain — usually years after the contractor stopped answering.
Storm damage and insurance
Spanish Lake sits in the older ring of St. Louis County, and the roofs here tell on themselves. Under the shingles we routinely find 1x6 plank decking, sometimes a second layer of shingles nobody disclosed, and original galvanized flashing at chimneys and dormers that has been patched with tar more than once. Spring hail lines and straight-line wind do the visible damage — what actually finishes these roofs is water tracking down a rusted counterflashing all winter. Our inspection report is written the way an adjuster reads one: slope by slope, soft metals included, with the hail date documented. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is in it.
If it is an emergency right now
Call 314-429-6000 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. On older Spanish Lake homes the leak is rarely directly above the ceiling stain, so for active water we tarp first and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone. Our crews run St. Louis County routes daily, so an emergency here is a dispatch, not a road trip.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Granules washing into gutters or piling at splash blocks — common on roofs past fifteen years
- Tar patches at chimney or dormer flashing, a sign the last repair was cosmetic
- Ceiling stains that show up several feet from the actual leak, typical over plank decking
- Moss or dark streaking on shaded north slopes under mature tree canopy
- Nail pops and lifted flashing from repeated freeze-thaw cycling
- A pre-war or 1950s home whose roof has never been professionally inspected

Frequently asked questions
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several lending partners. The written Spanish Lake estimate comes first, always.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. Spanish Lake is unincorporated, so permitting runs through St. Louis County rather than a city hall. We handle it and the inspections.
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty from us plus the manufacturer's coverage on the shingle. The labor half is ours and does not depend on anyone else honoring it.
- Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
- Yes. A lot of the roofs we inspect here need a repair, not a replacement, and we put that in writing.
