FAQ:
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
While some minor leaks can be fixed with a repair, a full replacement is often necessary if your roof has reached the end of its lifespan or sustained extensive damage. For shingle roofing, look for curling, cracked, or missing shingles. For metal roofing, check for oxidation or loose panels. If you have a flat roofing system, frequent pooling water or membrane tears are signs that a replacement is due. We offer free, no-obligation estimates to help you determine the most cost-effective path.
How much does a new roof cost?
The cost depends on the square footage of your home, the complexity of the roof's design, and the materials chosen. Metal roofing typically has a higher upfront cost but lasts much longer than traditional materials. Shingle roofing is often the most budget-friendly initial investment. We pride ourselves on competitive, affordable pricing and will provide a detailed quote tailored to your specific project.
How long does a typical roof installation take?
Most residential projects are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the home and the weather. Our experienced, long-term crews work efficiently to ensure your home is protected quickly without sacrificing our high standards of craftsmanship.
What roofing material is best for my home (e.g., shingle vs. metal)?
The best choice depends on your goals:
Metal roofing: Ideal for Missouri weather, offering 35+ years of durability, energy efficiency, and high wind resistance. We offer stone-coated and snap-lock standing seam styles.
Shingle roofing: A classic look using premium materials like Owens Corning Class 4 impact-resistant shingles.
Flat roofing: Best for low-slope applications where traditional shingles aren't effective.
Do you offer warranties on your workmanship and the materials?
Yes. We use premium materials from trusted brands like Owens Corning, which come with excellent manufacturer warranties. Furthermore, Metal Works Roofing stands behind our labor with a workmanship guarantee, backed by our 35 years of local experience.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Metal Works Roofing is a professional, locally owned contractor. We carry the necessary insurance to protect our workers and your property, giving you total peace of mind throughout the construction process.
How should I prepare my home for a roof replacement?
We recommend clearing your driveway to make room for equipment, moving vehicles away from the house, and securing fragile items inside (as vibrations can occur). Please ensure pets and children stay clear of the work zone. Our team handles the heavy lifting and a thorough post-job cleanup!
What do you do if you find rotted wood or structural damage after removing the old roof?
If we discover damaged decking or rotted wood after removing your old shingle roofing or metal roofing, we will notify you immediately. We believe in transparency and will provide a fair price to replace the damaged wood to ensure your new roof has a solid, safe foundation.

How can I identify and handle storm damage to my roof?
