Five St. Louis roofing companies compared by evidence a homeowner can verify, from century-scale tenure to written workmanship coverage.
The short answer: Lapeyre Roofing is our #1 St. Louis pick because its hail documentation, repair-versus-replace guidance, and Midwest-specific material recommendations align with our published factors. Frederic is the strongest alternative for homeowners who prioritize regional tenure and commercial breadth.
St. Louis roofs move through hail, heavy rain, summer heat, high winds, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. The proposal should address ventilation, ice-and-water membrane placement, flashing, impact-resistance choices, and how damaged decking is priced once the old roof is removed.
Publisher disclosure
Lapeyre Roofing serves St. Louis, publishes this article, and places itself first as a stated publisher recommendation. This is not an independent award or a calculated score. We publish the factors we considered, link the evidence behind every profile, and show the strongest reason to consider each competitor so you can challenge our conclusion.
How we selected and ordered the companies
This is an editorial comparison, not a certification or a claim that one contractor is right for every roof. We considered project documentation and quality control, manufacturer credentials and warranty access, fit for St. Louis weather and roof systems, repair and material breadth, local accountability, and operating history.
Lapeyre is #1 because this publisher-owned guide is designed to state our recommendation, supported by Lapeyre's documented process, market-specific roof guidance, and the current evidence linked below. We did not generate the order from a hidden numeric score. A homeowner who prioritizes decades in business, a particular material, or a published warranty term may reasonably choose a different company. We did not use review totals because we could not verify the same live platform consistently for every company. Sources were checked on August 2, 2026, and credentials can change.
The comparison at a glance
| Rank | Company | Best fit | Question to resolve |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lapeyre Roofing | hail documentation and written project scopes | A first-year local operation cannot match decades of St. Louis history. Verify local references, responsible office staff, workmanship coverage, and manufacturer authorization for the selected system. |
| 2 | Frederic Roofing | deep St. Louis tenure and repair-or-replace breadth | The public site does not make a standard workmanship term prominent. Ask for that term, leak-response process, and material-specific warranty in writing. |
| 3 | Andres Roofing | hands-on residential shingle work | Its specialty is narrower than a full-service commercial or specialty-material contractor. Confirm fit if your home has slate, tile, metal, or low-slope sections. |
| 4 | Conner Roofing | a local family contractor with exterior scope | Ask for the current credential tier in the manufacturer directory and the exact workmanship term; the public overview does not answer both questions. |
| 5 | Stonebridge Roofing | a plainly written workmanship warranty | The company’s public operating history is less specific than the older firms above. Verify business tenure, local references, and which projects qualify for the 20-year coverage. |

What to verify in the estimate: The public site does not make a standard workmanship term prominent. Ask for that term, leak-response process, and material-specific warranty in writing.
3. Andres Roofing: best for hands-on residential shingle work

Sources checked: Andres Roofing’s company page.
What to verify in the estimate: Its specialty is narrower than a full-service commercial or specialty-material contractor. Confirm fit if your home has slate, tile, metal, or low-slope sections.

Sources checked: Conner Roofing’s company page.
What to verify in the estimate: Ask for the current credential tier in the manufacturer directory and the exact workmanship term; the public overview does not answer both questions.
5. Stonebridge Roofing: best for a plainly written workmanship warranty
Stonebridge serves the greater St. Louis region and publishes a transferable 20-year workmanship warranty on full roof replacements, including installation-related leaks, flashing, fasteners, underlayment, and ventilation.
Sources checked: Stonebridge Roofing’s warranty page.
What to verify in the estimate: The company’s public operating history is less specific than the older firms above. Verify business tenure, local references, and which projects qualify for the 20-year coverage.
What St. Louis homeowners should check before signing
- Roofing license and permit requirements vary by Missouri and Illinois jurisdiction. Verify the rules for the property address before work starts.
- Ask whether the roofer will repair an isolated leak when replacement is not yet justified and how that repair is warranted.
- For hail work, keep the contractor’s scope separate from the insurer’s coverage decision; only the insurer and policy determine payment.
- Require the estimate to state ice-and-water membrane locations, ventilation, flashing replacement, decking unit prices, and workmanship coverage.
Get at least two written scopes for a replacement. Compare decking allowances, ventilation, flashing, underlayment, disposal, permit responsibility, workmanship coverage, manufacturer-registration responsibility, and exclusions. A lower total can simply mean the scopes are different.
How to verify any roofer yourself
- Ask for a current certificate of insurance sent by the insurance agent, not a screenshot stored by the contractor.
- Confirm the company name on the proposal matches the entity, warranty, permit, and payment recipient.
- Open the manufacturer's contractor directory yourself and verify the location and tier. Certification does not replace checking the written warranty.
- Ask who pulls required permits, who supervises the crew, and who handles a leak after final payment.
- Read recent critical reviews for patterns, then ask the contractor how those problems are prevented.
