STL Roof Repair fixes St. Louis roofs by diagnosing the actual source of the water, not the spot on your ceiling. A technician inspects every slope and the attic, photographs the failure, and gives you a free written estimate the same visit. Common repairs include flashing, pipe boots, wind-lifted shingles, valley leaks, nail pops, and rotted decking. Call (314) 429-6000 any hour.
Water travels. It runs down a rafter, along the top of the drywall, and drips out ten feet from where it got in. That is why our technicians inspect the whole roof plane and the attic instead of patching the spot directly above your ceiling stain.
Where the roof meets a chimney, wall, skylight, or dormer, thin metal does the waterproofing. Step flashing that has pulled loose, rusted through, or was caulked instead of properly woven into the shingle courses is one of the most common leak sources we find in older St. Louis homes.
The rubber collar around your plumbing vents dries out and splits, usually around year twelve to fifteen. It is an inexpensive part that causes expensive interior damage, and it is often the entire answer to a mystery bedroom leak.
Straight-line winds break the factory seal strip. The shingle looks fine from the ground but no longer bonds to the course below it, so wind-driven rain gets underneath. We reseal, re-nail, or replace the affected courses.
Valleys carry the most water on your roof, and Missouri freeze-thaw cycles push melt water back under the shingles. We correct the valley detail and add ice and water shield where code requires it.
Decking expands and contracts and works nails back out through the shingle above. Each one is a pinhole straight into your attic. We reset them and seal properly rather than smearing tar over the top.
If water has been getting in for months, the plywood underneath is soft. Shingling over spongy decking guarantees a callback, so we cut it out, replace the sheathing, and rebuild the assembly correctly.

Small repairs - a replacement pipe boot, a handful of blown-off shingles, resealing a vent - land at the low end. Costs climb with the size of the failure, the pitch and height of the roof, and whether decking underneath has rotted and has to be cut out and replaced. We do not quote roof repair over the phone from a description, because the thing causing your leak is frequently not the thing you can see. The inspection and the written price are free.
Yes, and often that is the right answer. Sectional repair works well when the rest of the roof still has real service life and the failure is localized - one slope, one valley, one chimney. Where sectional repair stops making sense is when the shingles have gone brittle and lost their granules, because new shingles will not seal against a surface that is already deteriorating and you end up paying twice.
Look for granules collecting in the gutters, shingles that are cupped, curled, or missing after wind, dark streaks or bubbling on interior ceilings, daylight visible in the attic, nail heads pushing through shingles, and rusted or separated flashing where the roof meets a wall or chimney. Any of those warrant an inspection. Water stains on drywall mean water has already been getting in for a while.
Yes. Most of the repairs we run are on roofs installed by somebody else, including roofs put on by companies that are no longer in business. We inspect it, tell you what was done wrong or what simply wore out, and price the fix.
A large share of residential repairs finish in a single visit, often in a few hours. Repairs that need decking replaced, structural work, or materials that must be ordered to match your existing shingle take longer, and we tell you that before you commit to anything.
Fill this out and a St. Louis technician will call to schedule your free inspection.
One free inspection tells you whether you are looking at a two-hour repair or a roof at the end of its life. Either way you get photos and a written number.
