Hail in spring, ice in winter, character all year
St. Louis County roofs fight a two-front war — hail seasons that total roofs by the subdivision, and freeze-thaw winters that drive ice dams into every under-insulated eave. What differs is the housing stock: slate estates in Ladue, high-rise-adjacent condos and 1930s homes in Clayton, century Victorians in Webster Groves. Every neighborhood below has its own full guide.
The estate corridor: Ladue, Frontenac, and Huntleigh
Ladue's slate-and-copper estates, Frontenac's wooded customs, and Huntleigh's equestrian acreage carry some of the Midwest's finest rooflines — where salvage-first slate work and craftsmanship-grade flashing matter more than speed. The guides cover estate scope in detail.
The county's civic heart: Clayton and Town and Country
Clayton's prewar streets age alongside its corporate skyline, while Town and Country's 1970s-90s executive stock is deep into replacement cycles. Each guide matches material and spec to the era.
The classic suburbs: Kirkwood and Webster Groves
The streetcar towns — Kirkwood and Webster Groves — hold the county's richest mix of century homes: steep Victorian pitches, Craftsman porches, Tudor cottages, and the box gutters and dead valleys that come with them. The guides cover era-appropriate materials and the transitions where old roofs actually leak.

Ladue, Clayton, Frontenac, Huntleigh, Town and Country, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Des Peres, Creve Coeur, and the wider county.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it in St. Louis?
Emphatically — the county's hail frequency makes impact-rated materials one of the region's best-value home upgrades.
Who repairs slate roofs in St. Louis County?
Slate demands salvage-first craftsmanship — re-laying sound original slate over rebuilt underlayment and flashings. Our Ladue and Webster Groves guides explain the approach we bring.
How do I stop ice dams on an older county home?
Eave and valley ice-and-water membrane, air-sealed attic floors, insulation to code, and ventilation that keeps the deck cold — installed together at replacement time.
