Residential Roof Replacement

A new roof is a major decision. The process should feel clear.

Choice Construction helps St. Louis-area homeowners understand the condition of their roof, compare the next-step options, choose materials, and move through replacement with consistent communication from inspection to final cleanup.

Repair, replace, or keep monitoring?

Homeowners often contact us after noticing a leak, missing shingles, storm damage, wear, or an issue raised during a sale. The right response depends on the roof’s overall condition, not one symptom viewed by itself.

We start with an inspection, explain the visible findings, and help you understand whether repair or replacement should be considered. If replacement is recommended, you receive an estimate and a clear path through selections, scheduling, installation, cleanup, and final paperwork.

Reasons to request an inspection

  • Missing, lifted, cracked, or visibly worn roofing materials
  • Water stains, moisture, or a suspected leak
  • Damage after wind, hail, or falling debris
  • Flashing, ventilation, or roof-transition concerns
  • A roof approaching the end of its expected service life
  • Questions before buying or selling the property
  • Plans to improve the home's exterior

An inspection is the appropriate way to evaluate a specific property. These signs do not automatically mean replacement is required.

What a complete roofing conversation includes

Existing Condition
We look at visible roof conditions and relevant components so the recommendation is based on the property in front of us.
Scope and Estimate
We explain the recommended work and provide an estimate. If hidden conditions are possible, we explain how items such as damaged decking would be handled if discovered during the project.
Materials and Colors
We guide the customer through approved roofing material and color selections based on the available project options.
Roofing Components
Roofing is more than the field material. Ventilation, flashing, penetrations, edges, and transitions are considered as part of the scope where applicable.
Scheduling and Communication
We confirm the plan and communicate about project timing, property access, work progress, and weather-related changes.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
The project closes with a final review, cleanup, and delivery of applicable paperwork and warranties.

Residential roofing questions

How do I know whether I need repair or replacement?
The answer depends on the type of issue, the roof's overall condition, and whether a repair can provide a reasonable result. Begin with an inspection rather than assuming either option.
How much does a new roof cost?
Pricing depends on the property, roofing system, measurements, selected materials, access, tear-off requirements, and any necessary component or decking work. An inspection and project-specific estimate provide the useful answer.
What happens if damaged decking is found?
The process and pricing method for unforeseen decking work should be explained in the approved project documents before installation begins. If damage is discovered, Choice Construction will communicate the finding and next step according to that agreement.
How long will installation take?
Timing depends on the size and complexity of the roof, the approved scope, material availability, weather, and site conditions. The anticipated schedule will be discussed for the specific project.
What warranty will I receive?
Projects include a Choice Construction workmanship warranty and applicable manufacturer warranties. The exact terms depend on the approved scope and materials.
