Roofing systems

## The right roof for the house.

Different homes want different roofs. The right system depends on the pitch, the architecture, and how long you plan to own the house. We tell you which one the home actually needs, not which one is easiest to sell.

01Architectural Shingles

### The shadow line of a slate or shake.

Heavyweight architectural shingle from a CertainTeed Shingle Master crew. Ice-and-water at every valley and edge, ridge vent sized to the attic, and a warranty that holds for the full term.

02Luxury Shingles

### The shake look, the shingle warranty.

CertainTeed Presidential and other premium profiles that read like hand-split shake or slate from the street, with the install discipline and warranty of a modern shingle behind them.

03Slate

### The 150-year roof.

Real slate, hung by hand by one of the few crews left in St. Louis still doing it. Virtually fireproof, and known to last 150 years, roughly six times longer than a shingle roof.

See the details](/slate-and-tile/slate)[![Clay tile roof](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/slate/clay-tile-1.webp)

04Tile

### The lowest life-cycle cost.

Clay and concrete tile with centuries of field performance, natural water-shedding and ventilation, and a 50 to 100 year lifespan. The cheapest roof to own over the years it actually lasts.

See the details](/slate-and-tile/tile)[![Cedar shake roof under installation](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/cedar/cedar-shake-install.webp)

05Cedar Shake

### Real wood, done right.

Hand-laid cedar shake over a breathable felt underlayment, installed so the wood can move and dry the way cedar needs to. Warm, natural, and built to age instead of fail.

See the details](/slate-and-tile/cedar-shake)[![Copper barrel roof beginning to patina](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/roofing/copper-barrel-waterfront.webp)

06Copper

### The detail that lasts a lifetime.

Copper valleys, bay roofs, and flashing, bent in-shop and seamed by hand. It starts bright, settles into a patina, and outlasts almost everything it sits next to.

See the details](/slate-and-tile/copper)[![White TPO flat roof from above](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/tpo/tpo-aerial-flat.webp)

07TPO

### Welded, not glued.

Single-ply TPO for flat and low-slope sections of a home, installed fully adhered, RhinoBond, or mechanically attached, with every seam heat-welded into one continuous surface.

See the details](/roofing/tpo)[![Single-ply membrane roof with pipe boots](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/commercial/boots-epdm.webp)

08PVC

### The chemical-resistant membrane.

Single-ply PVC where a flat roof faces grease, exhaust, or harsh runoff. Heat-welded seams and real chemical resistance the other membranes do not bring.

See the details](/roofing/pvc)

Flat, low-slope & repair

### Flat roofs and the honest repair call.

09EPDM Rubber

### The proven rubber membrane.

Large-sheet EPDM for flat and low-slope roofs, with fewer seams to fail and decades of field history behind it.

See the details](/roofing/epdm)[![Modified bitumen flat roof](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/tpo/tpo-aerial-flat.webp)

10Modified Bitumen

### Multi-ply asphalt, built up.

Multi-ply modified asphalt for flat and low-slope roofs where a rugged, redundant membrane matters more than anything else.

See the details](/roofing/modified-bitumen)[![Roof repair and leak inspection](/wp-content/uploads/donovan/photos/storm/ladder-inspection.webp)

11Repair & Restoration

### The honest repair call.

If the roof has eight years left, we will tell you. A project consultant diagnoses the actual leak instead of selling a replacement you do not need yet.

See the details](/roofing/repair)

### Not sure which roof the house needs?

The inspection is free and comes with a roof report that says plainly what the home needs, and a timeline for what can wait. No pressure toward the bigger job.
