We document our roofing projects in St. Louis, MO with photos from start to finish, and this one shows why that matters. Our team first visited the home in late February, then came back for two days of work in July, and the camera was rolling the whole way. Here's a look at how a roofing project in St. Louis comes together, plus a few things every homeowner in the area should keep an eye on.
A good roofing project starts long before anyone carries a bundle up a ladder. On the first visit, we walk the property and take a large set of photos so we have a clear record of the roof's condition. Those photos are what we use to explain what we found, plan the work, and answer questions later. You shouldn't have to take a contractor's word for it. You should be able to see it.
It's common for a few months to pass between the first visit and the work days. Weather, material orders, and the homeowner's own timing all play a part. In St. Louis, late winter is a smart time to get a roof looked at, because it gives you time to plan before the spring storm season and the busy summer schedule.
When our team came back in July, we kept photographing throughout the job, from the afternoon of the first day into the evening, and again on the second day. Progress photos protect everyone. They show what was done at each stage, including the parts of a roof that get covered up and are never seen again once the job is finished.
St. Louis roofs deal with freeze-thaw cycles in winter, heavy spring storms, and hot, humid summers. That mix is hard on shingles, flashing, and gutters. Watch for:
Small problems caught early are usually much cheaper to fix. If you're not sure what you're looking at, a professional inspection takes the guesswork out of it.
