If you’re planning a roofing project or simply want to learn how to care for your roof better — this guide covers the most frequently asked questions we receive.
General Roofing FAQs
Common warning signs include missing or curling shingles, water stains on ceilings, granules in gutters, or sagging rooflines. If your home recently experienced heavy rain, hail, or high winds, schedule a professional inspection — early repair prevents costly damage and mold growth.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20–30 years in Missouri’s climate. However, frequent storms, heat, and humidity can shorten that lifespan. Regular inspections and timely maintenance can help your roof perform its best for decades.

Roof Replacement FAQs
Frequent repairs, curling shingles, or visible leaks often indicate it’s time for a replacement. Our team performs detailed assessments to help you decide.
If your roof shows widespread shingle loss, repeated leaks, structural sagging, or has reached 20–30 years of age, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patching. A new roof provides better energy efficiency, curb appeal, and peace of mind.

Storm & Hail Damage FAQs
Look for cracked shingles, dented flashing, or granule loss on your roof or gutters. Inside your home, check for new water stains on ceilings or walls. Even if damage seems minor, it’s best to have a professional inspection right away.

Roof Ventilation & Maintenance FAQs
Proper ventilation balances temperature and moisture in your attic, reducing the risk of mold, wood rot, and ice dams during Missouri’s humid summers and cold winters. It also extends the lifespan of your roofing materials.
Signs include excessive heat in the attic, condensation, musty odors, or visible mold on rafters. You may also notice warped shingles or higher-than-normal energy bills. If these issues sound familiar, it’s time for a ventilation inspection.
Yes — by allowing hot air to escape in summer and reducing moisture buildup in winter, ventilation helps your HVAC system work more efficiently. Homeowners often see noticeable savings after attic airflow improvements.
