# Roofing in
Tower Grove.

Tower Grove is forty minutes from our shop, the neighborhoods ringing Tower Grove Park and the Botanical Garden. The housing stock is some of the best-preserved turn-of-the-century brick in the City, from modest two-families in Tower Grove East and South to the grand homes of Tower Grove Heights and the Compton Heights boundary, much of it still on original slate.

Working 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.
