Roofing, Gutters & More in Cape Girardeau
We've been providing roofing services to Cape Girardeau homeowners and businesses for 14 years. From repairs to full replacements. It's all we do, and we do it right.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Cape Girardeau, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Cape Girardeau homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only damage one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated claims get denied.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our Cape Girardeau crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Flat roof leak detection in Cape Girardeau: we start with a visual inspection of seams, flashings, and penetrations. If the leak source isn't obvious, we use electronic leak detection (ELD) or flood testing on membrane roofs. We find it and fix it. No guessing, no unnecessary tear-offs.

Multi-family properties in Cape Girardeau need roofing contractors who understand occupied buildings. We schedule around tenants, contain debris, and minimize noise during reasonable hours. Emergency leak repairs get priority. Water in someone's apartment is an emergency.

We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.

Annual inspections catch small problems early. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 repair. A year of water leaking through that crack causes $3,000+ in ceiling, insulation, and drywall damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for newer roofs, annually for roofs over 15 years.

Our trucks carry 20x30 reinforced tarps, 2x4 lumber, plywood sheets, pipe boots, ridge cap shingles, flashing stock, roofing cement, and neoprene screws. We show up ready to secure your roof, not ready to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Skylight replacement on existing curbs: VELUX FCM curb-mount units install directly on the existing curb frame. No structural modification, no interior disruption. The FCM sits on the curb with a built-in sill pan and integrates with a new QCM flashing kit. Low-E4 laminated glass with argon fill provides R-value improvements over older skylights. Solar-powered blinds and venting available on VSS models. The 10-year No Leak Installation Warranty requires VELUX-certified installation with the complete flashing system. We're certified in Cape Girardeau.
