Working in Kirkwood

Kirkwood is one of our regular slate territories. The Old Kirkwood neighborhood has a high concentration of homes from the 1920s and 1930s, many of which were originally roofed in natural slate, copper, or fired clay tile. Some still have the original; some have aged out. We handle full re-slates, partial course-up restorations, and copper-detail work in-house rather than subcontracting.

If your Kirkwood home has slate that is still mostly sound but with a few failing slopes, the conversation we often have is whether to re-roof the failing slopes only or to do a full re-slate. Most slate roofs have one slope that gets the most weather (usually south-facing) and fails first. Replacing just the failing slope with matched material runs a fraction of the cost of a full re-slate and often gets you another forty years out of the rest of the roof.

Free inspection. No salespeople. The project consultant walks the roof, the attic, and the ground, and ends the visit with one of three answers: a repair quote, a replacement quote, or “you don't need us yet.”
