Frontenac roofs are large and complicated. Wide spans, multiple planes, long valleys carrying water off a lot of surface, and flat or low-slope sections tied into steep ones. The flat sections are where we get called most, because that is what fails first.
The flat and low-slope sections tied into these houses are the weak point. They were often an addition, a porch roof or a section over a garage, and they get treated as an afterthought during a shingle replacement. A low-slope section needs a membrane and proper terminations, not shingles laid at a pitch they were never rated for. We price that section as its own job because that is what it is.

Complicated roofs need more than a shingle price
A simple gable is hard to get wrong. A roof with six planes, three dormers, a chimney, long valleys and a couple of changes in pitch is where the difference between crews shows up. Water does not get in through the middle of a shingle field. It gets in at transitions: valleys, step flashing along walls, chimney counterflashing, skylight curbs and pipe boots.
On Frontenac houses we price the flashing work as part of the job rather than reusing what is there to keep the number down. If a bid on a complicated roof comes in well under everyone else, the flashing is usually where the money came out. Ask any contractor you are considering what they intend to do at the valleys and the chimney, and see whether you get a specific answer. We also handle chimney flashing repair on its own when that is the only real problem.
Commercial roofing in Frontenac
Commercial roofing is a large part of what we do, not a sideline. If you own or manage a building in Frontenac we handle:
- flat roofing systems and low-slope roofs, including TPO roofing and modified bitumen
- commercial roof replacement with a phased plan if the budget needs one
- Leak tracing and seam, flashing, drain and scupper repair
- Documented condition reports for capital planning and insurance
- commercial gutters and downspouts
- Scheduled maintenance so small failures do not become a tear-off
Most flat roofs in Frontenac do not fail across the field. They fail at seams, terminations, penetrations, drains and scuppers. That means a leak is usually a repair rather than a replacement, and any contractor who opens with a tear-off number before walking the roof is guessing. We find the actual source, price the repair, and tell you honestly how much life is left in the system.
After a storm
Severe weather in this region does not always announce itself on the roof. Check your gutters for granule buildup, look for shingle pieces in the yard, and watch for new staining on upstairs ceilings. If anything looks off, we will do a free roof inspection and tell you whether it is a roof repair, an insurance claim, or nothing at all. We can also help with the insurance claim help if it comes to that.
Where we work from
Frontenac is inside our regular service area and we work there every week. Our office is at 6020 Weldon Spring Pkwy, Weldon Spring, MO 63304. We do not keep a separate storefront in every town we serve, and we would rather say that plainly than list addresses that are really just mailboxes.
Common questions
Why is my quote higher than my neighbor’s?
Roof planes, pitch, valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights all add labor and flashing material. Two houses on the same street can differ by a lot. What should not differ is whether the flashing gets replaced.
Can you repair just one section?
Often, yes. If the shingle field is sound and the problem is at a valley or a wall transition, a targeted roof repair is the honest answer and we will say so.
What does the warranty actually cover?
Our installations carry a ten-year workmanship warranty. That covers our labor. The shingle itself carries whatever the manufacturer offers, and we will tell you which is which in writing rather than blurring the two together.
