Professional Roofing Repairs & Installation in the Greater St. Louis, MO Area
Midwest weather is uniquely demanding on residential roofs. Rapid temperature shifts between seasons, heavy snow and ice loads in winter, and the severe thunderstorms and hail events that define St. Louis summers all accelerate wear and tear on roofing systems—sometimes dramatically. Whether your roof has suffered storm damage, is showing signs of aging, or simply needs professional attention, Luitjens Exteriors provides expert roofing inspections, repairs, and installations for homeowners throughout St. Louis City and County, Jefferson County, St. Charles County, and the Metro East.
As a family-owned and operated exterior restoration company with over 15 years of experience in this region, we understand exactly how Missouri's climate affects roofing systems and what quality installation requires in these conditions. We offer free inspections, transparent pricing, and work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims so that our customers can focus on their families rather than on paperwork and adjuster negotiations.

Free Roof Inspections
The first step in understanding your roof's condition is a thorough professional inspection—one that identifies problems that aren't visible from the ground. Luitjens Exteriors provides free roof inspections for homeowners throughout our service area. Our inspectors check for leaks, damaged or missing shingles, deteriorating flashing, granule loss from hail impact, soffit and fascia condition, ventilation issues, and any other factors that affect the performance and longevity of your roofing system.
Regular inspections are one of the most cost-effective forms of roof maintenance available. Catching a small problem early—a few missing shingles, a compromised flashing seal—prevents it from becoming a large, expensive problem later. We recommend scheduling a free inspection after any significant storm event and every few years as standard maintenance.
Roof Repairs
If your roof has minor damage—missing shingles, small leaks, damaged flashing, or localized granule loss—timely repairs can restore its integrity and extend its serviceable life significantly. Addressing these issues promptly is critical to maintaining your roof's structural strength and preventing water intrusion that causes damage to attic insulation, framing, drywall, and interior finishes.
Luitjens Exteriors performs targeted roof repairs for homeowners throughout St. Louis, matching existing materials as closely as possible for a seamless result. We assess the full extent of the damage before recommending a repair approach—because the right repair strategy depends on what's actually causing the problem, not just what's visible at the surface.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a roof has reached the end of its serviceable life—widespread shingle deterioration, extensive granule loss, repeated leaks, or significant hail damage—a full replacement is the most reliable long-term investment you can make in your home. Luitjens Exteriors installs new roofs using quality materials selected for performance in St. Louis's demanding climate, with manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee backing every installation.
We handle the full scope of the replacement—from tear-off and deck inspection through new shingle installation, flashing, and ridge cap—and we leave your property clean when the job is done. If your replacement is the result of storm damage, we coordinate the entire insurance claim process as part of the project.
Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof last in St. Louis?
The lifespan of a residential roof in the St. Louis area depends on the roofing material, installation quality, and how the roof handles Missouri's specific climate challenges. Asphalt shingles—the most common residential roofing material in this region—typically last 20 to 30 years under normal conditions. However, severe hail events, ice dam formation in winter, and the UV exposure of Missouri's summers can all reduce effective lifespan. Regular inspections and prompt attention to minor damage are the best tools for maximizing roof longevity. If your roof is approaching 20 years or has experienced significant storm events, a professional inspection is a wise investment.
What are the signs that my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
Common signs that your roof needs professional attention include missing, cracked, or curling shingles, granules accumulating in gutters or around the base of downspouts, dark patches on shingles indicating granule loss, visible daylight through the roof boards from the attic, water stains on ceilings or in the attic after rain, and sagging sections of the roof deck. Some of the most significant damage—particularly from hail—is not visible from the ground. If you've experienced a major storm event, a free professional inspection is the only way to know for certain what your roof's condition is.
