Collinsville sits on the bluffs where I-55/70 and I-255 meet, about 15 minutes east of downtown St. Louis. Uptown Collinsville around Main Street has older brick and frame houses, many with steep gables and decades of layered repairs. Out toward the edges of town the stock shifts to 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels, then newer subdivisions with architectural shingles. The World's Largest Catsup Bottle and Cahokia Mounds are both in town, and so is a lot of open, bluff-top exposure to wind.
Are you replacing roofs in Collinsville right now?
Yes. We have roof replacements sold and waiting on the crew schedule in Collinsville today, and dozens more across our St. Louis market on both sides of the river. We will not call a job finished until it is, so you will not see a project write-up here until the crew is done.
What roof are most Metro East homeowners choosing?
Across our St. Louis market, the shingle line specified most often on sold roofs right now is Owens Corning Duration. It is an architectural shingle with a wide color range, and we install it with ice and water shield, a starter strip, matching hip and ridge cap, ridge ventilation and synthetic underlayment.
Do you need a permit for a new roof in Collinsville?
Roof replacement inside city limits goes through the City of Collinsville's building and code office, and we handle the permit as part of the job. Collinsville spans two counties, so we confirm the rules for your exact address before the crew is scheduled rather than guessing.
How do older Uptown houses change a roof replacement?
On many older Collinsville homes we find two layers of shingles, board decking with gaps, and chimneys that were flashed with tar instead of metal. We tear off to the deck, replace soft boards, and re-flash chimneys and walls so the new roof is not hiding old problems.
How fast can you get to Collinsville after a storm?
Collinsville is roughly 35 minutes from our Maryland Heights headquarters by I-270 and I-255. Call 618-549-0800 any hour; we can tarp an active leak, document the damage with photos and help you through the insurance claim.
