Roofing in
Tower Grove.

The Tower Grove neighborhoods are a slate-and-steep-pitch market. The 1890s through 1920s brick homes here were built with steep gabled roofs, soldered copper valleys, and natural slate or clay tile, and a lot of those roofs are now at or past the hundred-year mark. The grander homes along Tower Grove Heights and the Compton Heights edge are full slate-and-tile work; the smaller singles and two-families are steep slate over the main block with a flat or low-slope rear addition. We do full re-slates, partial course-up restorations on the failed slopes, and the flat-roof rear sections as one job.

Tower Grove Heights and Compton Heights are local historic districts, so the street-facing slate is under design review and the material has to clear the board. We know which natural slate and which designer-slate profiles (DaVinci, Brava) pass review here and which do not. If your home has slate that is mostly sound with one or two failed slopes, we will often re-roof just the failing slope with matched material rather than tearing off a roof that has decades left in it. The project consultant walks it and tells you which it is.
