Maplewood housing is largely early 1900s brick, with the steep simple pitches and narrow lots that came with that era. Gutter and downspout work is a bigger share of what we do here than almost anywhere else we serve.
Water management is the Maplewood problem. Early 1900s brick houses on narrow lots, short eaves, and gutters that were sized for a different century. When they overflow the water runs straight down the brick and behind the fascia. A lot of what looks like a roof leak in Maplewood turns out to be a gutter and downspout problem, and we will tell you when that is the case instead of selling you a roof.

Working on older Maplewood houses
Older houses were built differently and they fail differently. Steeper pitches, plank decking instead of sheeting, original slate or tile on some, and detailing at the eaves and rakes that is worth keeping. A tear-off on a house like that is not the same job as a 2004 subdivision roof, and pricing it as though it were is how people end up with damaged trim and a roofline that no longer looks right.
We will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold. Sometimes the answer on an older roof is targeted roof repair and new flashing rather than a full tear-off, and sometimes the decking is far enough gone that a roof replacement is the only thing that makes sense. Either way you get the reasoning, not just the number.
Commercial roofing in Maplewood
Commercial roofing is a large part of what we do, not a sideline. If you own or manage a building in Maplewood 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
The difference between commercial and residential work is not just the membrane. It is that a commercial roof has to be fixed without shutting your tenants or your operation down, and it has to be documented well enough that you can put it in a budget. We give you a condition report with photographs and a straight answer on whether the roof has years left or needs replacing this cycle. Getting three more winters out of a roof with planned repairs is often the right call, and we will say so.
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
Maplewood 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
Do you work on slate or tile?
We will assess it and tell you honestly what it needs. If the right answer is a slate specialist rather than an asphalt crew, we will say that instead of talking you into a conversion you did not want.
Will a new roof hurt my home’s character?
Only if it is done carelessly. Profile, color and the details at the eaves and rakes are what carry the look, and those are choices, not accidents.
Can you match the look of my original roof?
In most cases we can get close with the right architectural shingle profile and color. If you have original slate or tile worth preserving, we will tell you that too rather than talking you into stripping it.
