1. How often should I get a roof inspection?

For most St. Louis homeowners, we recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in spring or fall, and again immediately after any major storm, hailstorm, or high-wind event. Regular roof inspections help catch early warning signs like curling shingles, cracked flashing, or granule loss before they turn into costly leaks or structural damage, and can also extend your roof’s overall lifespan.

A typical PeakRoof inspection takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your roof’s size, pitch, and overall condition. Our certified roof inspectors examine shingles, flashing, gutters, ventilation, and attic areas, then provide a detailed, photo-documented report so St. Louis homeowners have a clear picture of their roof’s condition and any recommended next steps.

Yes — PeakRoof offers a free, no-obligation initial roof inspection for homeowners and business owners throughout St. Louis and surrounding communities like Chesterfield, Ballwin, and Wildwood. Our certified inspectors assess your roof’s condition, document any damage, and walk you through honest, transparent recommendations with no pressure to purchase additional services.

Common signs that your roof may need full replacement rather than a repair include frequent or recurring leaks, missing or curling shingles, visible sagging in the roofline, granule loss in the gutters, and a roof that is approaching or past its 15-20 year lifespan. If your roof shows several of these signs, a PeakRoof inspector can help you decide between a repair and a full roof replacement.

5. How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacement projects in the St. Louis area are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the roof, the roofing material selected (such as asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, or metal roofing), and current weather conditions.
