In Saint Louis, fluctuating temperatures and moisture can rapidly corrode metal flashing. Key signs include visible rust or gaps around chimneys, vents, and skylights, water stains on interior ceilings or walls near these penetrations, and granules from shingles collecting in gutters near flashing joints. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to have a professional inspection to prevent significant water intrusion and structural damage to your home.

We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection as soon as it's safe to do so after a hail event in the Saint Louis area. While some hail damage is obvious (like cracked shingles), subtle bruising or granule loss can compromise your roof's lifespan and may be missed from the ground. A timely inspection allows us to document the damage for your insurance claim and recommend repairs before leaks develop or the problem worsens with subsequent weather.

Saint Louis experiences a wide range of weather, from hot, humid summers to freezing winters. A small issue like a compromised shingle or corroded flashing spot can quickly escalate. Moisture can seep in, leading to rot in the roof deck, mold growth in your attic, and damage to insulation and drywall. Proactive, minor repairs protect your home's structural integrity, improve energy efficiency, and are far more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of unchecked water damage.
