# Roofing in
Soulard.

Soulard is forty minutes from our shop and one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. Louis, platted before the Civil War. The housing stock is mostly 1850s through 1880s brick row houses, and the roofs are a mix of steep gabled slate over the original block and low-slope membrane over the rear additions and storefronts.

Working in Soulard

Soulard roofs are almost never one system. A typical row house here has a steep slate or steep-pitch front block, a flat or low-slope rear ell, and shared parapet walls with the buildings on either side. The parapet-wall flashing is where most of these roofs fail, and it is the detail most contractors get wrong. We handle the steep slate, the flat membrane, and the parapet coping and counterflashing as one job, so the water does not find the seam between the trade who did the slate and the trade who did the flat.

Much of Soulard sits inside a local historic district, so anything visible from the street, the slate, the cornice, the parapet coping, is under design review. We know what the board expects and which materials clear it. On the hidden low-slope sections we have more room to value-engineer. The project consultant walks the whole roof, points out where the real leaks are coming from, and gives you a single proposal that covers every section.
