Expert Roof Replacement
in St. Louis.
Protect your largest investment with premium architectural shingles and metal roofing systems, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty. Subject to the terms and exclusions in your project agreement.
The Cost of Waiting.
Is Always Higher.
A failing roof doesn't announce itself all at once. It degrades quietly, a cracked shingle here, a compromised flashing detail there, until water finds its way into your attic, your insulation, and eventually your living space.
Once water gets in, the sheathing underneath can start to rot and mold can follow, and a small repair turns into structural work. The roof is the single most important envelope component of your home, it protects everything beneath it.
Lucas and his team inspect every roof before recommending replacement versus repair, giving you an honest assessment, not a commission-driven upsell. Hail or wind damage? See storm damage & insurance claims.
Curling or Buckling Shingles
Shingles that cup at the edges or buckle in the middle are past their service life. This is the roof's way of signaling it can no longer shed water effectively.
Granule Loss in Gutters
If your gutters are collecting sandlike granules after a rain, your shingles are shedding their UV-protective coating, a direct indicator of accelerated aging.
An Older Roof
Asphalt shingles wear out with age, sun and storms, and older 3-tab roofs go first. If yours has been on for around 20 years, have it inspected before the next storm season rather than after a leak.
Interior Water Stains
Dark spots or discoloration on ceilings are the downstream consequence of compromised flashing, missing shingles, or underlayment failure, and the damage compounds fast.
Two Systems. One Local Team.
We help you choose the right system for your home, budget, and timeline.
Architectural Shingles
Owens Corning Duration® and TruDefinition® shingles deliver the dimensional look of wood shake. Wind-rated to 130 mph and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, a genuine upgrade over legacy 3-tab systems.
Metal Roofing Systems
Standing seam and steel panel systems, made to outlast asphalt shingles. They stand up well to hail, high winds and ice dams, and reflect radiant heat, which can lower summer cooling load.
Owens Corning Preferred Contractor
LUCAS Construction & Roofing is listed as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and installs Owens Corning Duration® shingles.
Roof Replacement Questions
How long does a roof last?
It depends on the material, how it was installed and how well the attic is ventilated. Asphalt shingles wear out sooner than metal, and older 3-tab roofs go first. Curling, granule loss and leaks say more about your roof than its age does, and a free inspection tells you how much life it has left.
Metal roof or shingles: which is better?
Neither is right for every home. Architectural shingles (we install Owens Corning Duration®) give a dimensional look at a lower upfront cost and suit most homes here. A standing seam or steel panel metal roof costs more up front, lasts longer and stands up well to hail, wind and ice dams. We quote both, in writing, so you can compare them for your home.
How much does a new roof cost?
We price every roof after inspecting it, because the cost depends on the roof itself: its size and pitch, how many old layers come off, how much rotted decking has to be replaced, the material you choose, the flashing, vents and gutter work it needs, and how easy it is to reach. You get a written quote before any work starts, and the inspection is free.
