We have been on roofs across St. Louis County long enough to know what fails here first. It is almost never the middle of the slope. It is the flashing, the valleys and the ventilation.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Shingles creased or lifted after a straight-line wind event, even with none missing
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Builder-grade shingles at eighteen to twenty-five years, especially on south and west slopes
- Granule loss concentrated on the steepest, most sun-exposed planes
- Ceiling stains near valleys, dormers and bath vents on cut-up rooflines
- Neighbors on your street replacing roofs — subdivisions age together
Storm damage and insurance
Wildwood is largely newer subdivision construction, which changes how roofs fail here. Whole streets were roofed within a few years of each other, so they reach the end of their service life together and one hail line can put an entire subdivision into claims at once. Builder-grade shingles from the 1990s and early 2000s bruise easily, and the cut-up rooflines common here carry a lot of linear feet of valley and sidewall — the flashing is where these roofs actually fail. We price and install new metal rather than reusing it, the most common corner cut in this market. Inspection is slope by slope, soft metals included, storm date documented.
Overflowing or sagging gutters in Wildwood? Our gutter division covers that too — see gutters in Wildwood.

If it is an emergency right now
Call 314-429-6000 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. Two-story elevations and steep pitches are the norm in Wildwood, so we bring proper staging to tarp safely instead of working off a ladder. For active water we photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone. Crews are already running St. Louis County routes daily.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several lenders. We inspect the Wildwood property, hand you a written price, then review the options.
- Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
- Yes. Under that much tree cover, a lot of apparent damage is debris and a few slopes. When a repair holds, that is what we recommend.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. Wildwood issues its own permits and we handle them and the inspections, plus subdivision architectural approval where it applies.
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty from us on top of the manufacturer's coverage. Wildwood's large homes on wooded lots put real demands on a roof, and the install decides how it holds up.
