Materials We Trust

We Install GAF — North America's Largest Roofing Manufacturer

Your roof is only as good as what it's made of and who installs it. That's why we build with GAF Timberline HDZ® shingles, the best-selling shingle line in North America.

Learn About GAF's History →
🔩

LayerLock® Technology

Most asphalt shingles are simply glued in layers. Timberline HDZ shingles mechanically fasten their layers together, creating a stronger bond across your entire roof — and unlocking GAF's strongest wind protection.

🌬️

WindProven™ Wind Warranty

When we install the complete GAF system with its required accessories, your roof qualifies for the industry's first wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limit — serious peace of mind in Missouri storm country.

🛡️

Algae & Stain Protection

Time-release algae-fighting technology defends against the ugly blue-green streaks common on Midwest roofs, backed by a 25-year StainGuard Plus™ limited warranty.

Understanding Your Warranty

Every roof we install comes with two layers of protection, and we'll walk you through both before work begins:

  • Manufacturer warranty (GAF): Covers the shingles and roofing materials against manufacturing defects — Timberline HDZ shingles carry a Lifetime limited warranty for the original homeowner. Installing the full GAF accessory system extends coverage even further, including the WindProven™ wind warranty.
  • Workmanship: We stand behind our installation. If something isn't right because of how it was installed, we make it right.
  • What warranties don't cover: No shingle warranty covers "acts of God" like tornadoes or extreme hail — that's what your homeowner's insurance is for, and we know that process inside and out (see below).
Siding Options

Siding For Every Home & Budget

We install two of the most trusted names in siding: CertainTeed vinyl and James Hardie fiber cement. Here's how to think about your options — and we'll walk you through them in person, no pressure.

CertainTeed Vinyl Siding — Good, Better, Best

All three CertainTeed lines carry lifetime fade protection and limited lifetime warranties. The main difference is panel thickness, which affects rigidity, appearance over time, and price:

Good

Encore®

CertainTeed's entry-level panel (.040" thick). A budget-friendly way to get a clean, low-maintenance exterior with plenty of color choices. Best for tighter budgets and rental properties.

Better

MainStreet™

The mid-grade workhorse (.042" thick) with multiple profiles and around 25 colors. A solid step up in stiffness and appearance without the premium price — the right fit for most St. Louis homes.

Best

Monogram®

CertainTeed's premium line (.046" thick) — the thickest, straightest-hanging panel with rich cedar texture and the widest color selection. Engineered for high wind resistance and the best long-term curb appeal.

James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding

For homeowners who want the most durable siding made, we install James Hardie fiber cement. It's a cement-based board that delivers the look of wood with none of wood's weaknesses: it resists fire, moisture, rot, hail, and pests, and it won't warp in Missouri's temperature swings. Hardie products carry a 30-year non-prorated material warranty, and boards finished with ColorPlus® Technology — a baked-on factory finish — add a 15-year warranty on the finish itself, so you're not repainting every few years. It costs more than vinyl up front, but it's widely considered the best long-term value in siding, and some insurers even discount premiums for fiber cement homes. We'll give you side-by-side quotes so you can compare honestly.

⚡ Evidence Before Assumptions

Clear storm documentation. Homeowner-controlled claim decisions.

James Martin brings prior independent-adjuster and construction experience to the way we document a property: factual photos, measurements, material details, and a clear contractor scope. After hail or wind, we can inspect and explain what we observed. You control your insurance claim and policy decisions; coverage, payment, matching, and ordinance-or-law questions remain policy- and jurisdiction-specific.
