Helping You Make Informed Roofing Decisions

For most homes in the St. Louis metro area, a new asphalt shingle roof commonly falls around $4.25 to $10 per square foot installed. Final pricing depends on tear off requirements, roof pitch, roof complexity, ventilation needs, and whether any decking must be replaced. A professional inspection is required for an accurate estimate because roof area is usually larger than a home’s interior square footage.

Signs like missing shingles, leaks, water stains on ceilings, or visible storm damage may indicate repair or replacement is needed. Your roof should be professionally inspected if it is between 10-15 years old. We provide free inspections to give you a clear answer.

Absolutely. St. Louis Residential Roofing is fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind and protection throughout the project.

A quick planning estimate is to multiply your estimated roof area (in square feet) by the installed cost per square foot. In the St. Louis area, many shingle projects commonly land in the $4.25 to $10 per square foot range, then move up or down based on complexity and upgrades such as impact rated shingles, enhanced underlayment, ventilation improvements, or decking repairs. An on site inspection is the only reliable way to confirm roof measurements and scope. Contact St. Louis Residential Roofing for a free roofing inspection.

Most residential roof replacements are completed in just one day, depending on the size and complexity of the home.

Most asphalt shingle roofs in Missouri begin reaching the end of their useful life around 15 years, and homeowners should plan for replacement.

By this stage, it’s common to see signs like granule loss, brittle shingles, flashing wear, and more frequent repairs. While some roofs may last longer, performance and reliability typically decline after 15 years.

It’s also important to consider insurance. Many carriers begin to “schedule” roofs around 15 years old, meaning they may only cover a depreciated value instead of full replacement cost. Combined with higher deductibles, this can leave homeowners with significant out-of-pocket costs if damage occurs.

For this reason, it’s smart to start budgeting for a roof replacement around year 15, rather than waiting for leaks or storm damage to force the decision.

The best next step is a professional roof inspection to evaluate the current condition and help you plan the right timing.

A Class 4 shingle is impact rated and designed to perform better in hail prone conditions than standard shingles. In parts of the St. Louis region where hail events are common, Class 4 can be a smart upgrade for homeowners who prioritize durability, long term value, and reduced hail related damage risk. Whether it is worth it depends on your roof design, exposure, and budget. As a GAF Master Elite Certified roofing company, we typically install GAF Class 3 and Class 4 options, and will explain the tradeoffs during inspection.

In Missouri, the “statute of limitations” for a property damage lawsuit is technically five years. However, most insurance policies require you to report a claim much sooner—typically within 12 to 24 hours of discovering the damage, or within one year of the storm event. Some carriers may allow up to two years to complete repairs, but waiting too long makes it harder to prove that the damage was caused by a specific storm rather than “wear and tear.”

Yes, it is often possible to file a claim months after a storm, especially if the damage was “hidden” (like hail bruising that didn’t cause an immediate leak). However, the burden of proof increases the longer you wait. We recommend getting a professional inspection immediately to document the “date of loss” and tie the damage to a specific weather event before your policy’s reporting window closes.

Even after your claim is approved, there is a second deadline to be aware of. Most “Replacement Cost” policies hold back a portion of the payment (depreciation) until the work is actually finished. Many insurance companies require you to submit the final invoice for repairs within 180 days to 365 days of the original claim payment to recover that held-back money. If you miss this deadline, you may have to pay that difference out of pocket.

While Missouri law (RSMo 516.120) allows up to five years to bring a legal action for property damage, this does not override the “Prompt Notice” clause in your insurance contract. If you fail to report the damage “as soon as practicable” (a common policy term), the insurance company can deny the claim on the grounds that your delay caused further damage (like mold or rot) that could have been prevented.

You can still file a claim with your previous insurance provider as long as the damage occurred while that policy was active and you are within their filing deadline. Because St. Louis experiences frequent hailstorms, we often help homeowners identify the specific date of a past storm to ensure the claim is filed against the correct policy.
