St Louis roof repair and replacement, read from the exit backwards.

Confluence Roofing Co is a St Louis roofing company built by a man who spent twelve years hanging gutters. Carl Beckett ran repair crews for a gutter company, and the callbacks kept teaching him the same lesson: the leak blamed on the gutter usually started uphill, on the roof. He founded this company to work the roof side of the exit.
Every roof in this metro drains toward a river. Two rivers meet here, and every slope in this city, in north county, in St. Charles, and across the bridges in the Metro East, sends its water on a journey downhill. Read that journey backwards and a roof tells you where it is failing.
What we do
Roof repair
Valley leaks, eave rot behind sound gutters, lifted and missing shingles after hail and wind, pipe boot and vent failures, and storm damage, traced to the entry point the water actually used. A repair here begins with the exit read, not with a guess at the wet spot on the ceiling.
Roof replacement
When the roof system itself has used up its working life, the whole roof comes off and a new one goes on in its place, planned from the drainage outward: where the water leaves, how the valleys load, what the deck shows after a decade of humid summers, settled before materials are ordered.
Why St Louis roofs fail the way they do
This metro writes its weather on roofs from the sky and the ground at once. Spring storms ride in off the plains and cross the river in an evening, dropping hail on one county and sparing the next. Summer humidity sits on the north slopes under the tree canopy and keeps valleys damp for weeks. Winter is the supporting act here, a freeze and thaw season that works the eave edges and the tired sealant lines rather than loading roofs the way the lake cities are loaded. Under all of it, the stock itself is aging in waves: brick prewar houses in the city and the inner ring, and whole St. Charles County subdivisions built in the same three years, arriving at replacement age in the same three years.
The exit read
Follow the water out, and it will show you where it got in. That is the working habit of this company, learned in twelve years of gutter callbacks. A reading starts where a roof's water leaves it: the eave line, the valley mouths, the discharge at the ground. Then it climbs, against the flow, looking for the place the water left its intended path. Homeowners can use the same habit from the ground: after a hard rain, walk the eaves. Water arriving where it should not, staining, dripping behind a gutter, ponding at a corner, is the roof filing its report in plain language.
Typical planning ranges
| Work | Typical range |
| Minor shingle repair | $300 to $650 |
| Leak tracing and repair | $360 to $1,550 |
| Flashing repair | $350 to $1,100 |
| Emergency tarp service | $375 to $950 |
| Most roof repairs | $300 to $1,600 |
These are typical planning ranges for St Louis area homes: the numbers homeowners in this metro use to plan, not a quote for any specific roof. Size, pitch, material, and access move every real figure, and the figure that counts is the one the contractor confirms for your roof before work begins.
After a storm
When a storm crosses the metro, the phones fill and the door knockers follow. Read your own roof first, from the ground: shingles in the yard, a new stain, granules piled at the downspout mouth. Then decide whether it needs a reading. A storm over your street is weather. Damage is a finding, one roof at a time, and the company that reads yours should be willing to say the finding is nothing when it is nothing.
