Tile and slate roofing in St. Louis

The most common way a slate roof dies is bad repairs: walked-on tiles, smeared tar, and mismatched replacements that fail the freeze-thaw test. We repair with matched material, copper or stainless fasteners and flashings, and techniques that let a hundred-year roof keep going instead of forcing a premature replacement. Hail claims on tile and slate need specialist documentation, and we provide it.

What we handle

• Individual slate and tile replacement with matched material

• Copper and stainless flashing work at valleys and chimneys

• Ridge and hip repairs

• Hail and storm damage documentation for insurance

• Honest repair-versus-restore-versus-replace assessments

Warning signs on tile and slate

• Slipped, cracked, or missing pieces visible from the ground

• Rust streaks from failing fasteners or flashings

• Previous repairs done in tar or caulk

• Interior stains below valleys and chimneys
