How We Evaluate St. Louis Roofing Contractors
St. Louis experiences a full range of damaging weather — spring hail storms, summer severe thunderstorms, fall tornadoes, and winter ice storms that can cause significant roof damage. We evaluate St. Louis roofing contractors based on multi-weather-event expertise, proper licensing for both Missouri and Illinois sides of the metro, and verified homeowner reviews.
Missouri does not have a statewide roofing contractor license, but St. Louis City and St. Louis County both have local contractor licensing requirements. On the Illinois side, contractors must hold an Illinois Roofing Contractor License from the IDFPR. Every company on this list is properly licensed and insured for both sides of the St. Louis metro.
Ice storms are a particular St. Louis hazard — unlike ice dams (which form on pitched roofs in cold climates), ice storm damage involves direct ice accumulation causing structural stress, broken gutters, and gutter-pull damage to fascia and roof edges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in St. Louis MO
How much does roof replacement cost in St. Louis MO?
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in St. Louis typically runs $7,500 to $18,000. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are recommended for St. Louis's significant hail exposure and qualify for insurance premium discounts of 10–25% with Missouri carriers. Metal roofing costs $14,000 to $34,000 and provides excellent performance in St. Louis's combination of hail, wind, ice, and UV extremes.
Does homeowner's insurance cover ice storm damage in Missouri?
Yes, most Missouri homeowner's policies cover ice storm damage, including damage from ice accumulation causing structural stress or gutter failure. Ice storm damage is typically covered under the windstorm/hail or 'other perils' section of your policy. Document all damage with photos before any repairs. Gutter damage from ice accumulation is usually covered when it causes damage to fascia or the roof edge.
What roofing issues are most common in St. Louis?
St. Louis roofs face a combination of challenges unique to the Midwest: spring hail events (March through June are peak hail months), summer severe thunderstorm wind damage, fall tornado risk, and winter ice accumulation. The most common issue is hail-damaged shingles that pass the visual test but have lost granule protection, leading to accelerated UV degradation. Annual post-storm inspections are recommended for St. Louis homeowners.
Are there roofing contractor requirements on the Illinois side of St. Louis?
Yes. For homes in the Metro East area (Belleville, O'Fallon IL, Edwardsville, Collinsville), Illinois requires roofing contractors to hold an Illinois Roofing Contractor License from the IDFPR. This is a separate license from Missouri requirements. Make sure any contractor you hire for Illinois-side work holds a valid Illinois license — not just Missouri registration.
