Webster Groves homeowners deal with the same weather every year: hail in spring, straight-line wind through summer, then ice working at the eaves all winter. We have crews local to Webster Groves and a phone that gets answered at two in the morning.
If it is an emergency right now
Call 314-429-6000 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. On older Webster Groves 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.

Storm damage and insurance
Webster Groves 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.

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?
- We work with many different financing vendors, so there is usually more than one option. We review what fits after inspecting the roof and giving you a written price.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Yes. We inspect, photograph every slope and give you a written report at no cost and no obligation, whether or not there is a sale in it.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, and you should ask every contractor who knocks on your door the same question — then ask to see it in writing.
- How long does a roof replacement take?
- Most residential roofs are a one-day tear-off and installation. Larger or more complex rooflines run two to three days, and weather moves schedules more than anything else.
