Roofing in
Midtown.

Midtown is forty minutes from our shop, the Grand Center and Saint Louis University corridor between downtown and the Central West End. The building stock is a mix of late-1800s brick rowhouses and flats, mixed-use storefronts, and larger institutional and converted buildings, which means the roofs run from steep slate to large flat low-slope decks.

Working in Midtown

Midtown is more of a flat-roof and mixed-use market than the residential City neighborhoods, and that is squarely in what we do. The storefronts and mixed-use buildings have flat parapet-wall roofs where the coping, the wall flashing, and the drainage are what fail; the larger converted and institutional buildings have big low-slope decks that want a proper adhered membrane or modified-bitumen system installed by a crew that does flat roofs every week. The older rowhouses and flats still carry steep slate or mansard fronts that want matched slate and soldered copper. We handle all three.

On the historic residential blocks the street-facing slate and cornice are under design review, the same as the rest of the City's historic districts, and we know what clears the board. On the flat commercial and institutional roofs the conversation is about service life, drainage, and warranty, not appearance. The project consultant walks the roof, whether it is a single rowhouse or a full low-slope deck, and gives you a proposal that matches the building rather than a one-size template.

Midtown roof visit

A project consultant, in your driveway, inside a week.

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.”
