Your Fall Roof Checklist 1. Clean out your gutters (once most of the leaves are down) When gutters fill with leaves, rainwater has nowhere to go. It spills over the front, or worse, backs up behind the gutter and soaks into the fascia board and the edge of your roof deck. A gutter packed with […]
Weather is one of the most discussed topics around. And it’s not only important for the normalities of everyday life; it’s pertinent for putting on a new roof too.

Your roof is one of the most important, and most misunderstood parts of your home. Because most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong, a lot of misinformation sticks around, gets repeated, and eventually gets treated as fact. Some of these myths are harmless. Others can lead to expensive mistakes, missed warning […]
It Often Starts With the Roof Most major exterior transformations don’t begin with a homeowner deciding to reinvent their house. They begin with a problem. A spring hailstorm rolls through the St. Louis metro and leaves the shingles bruised. A wind event lifts a few rows along the ridge. Or the roof simply reaches the […]
When hail hits your neighborhood, many homeowners call in a claim and assume the insurance process will be straightforward. After all, there’s a confirmed storm date.
