What’s different about Saint Louis

St. Louis has a deep contractor pool and older housing stock, with hail, wind, and humid summers shaping exterior durability and material choices.

  • Severe-storm exposure favors impact-resistant materials.
  • Humidity favors moisture- and mildew-resistant materials.

How the cost is built

Tile-roof cost is driven by material (concrete tile is cheaper than clay or slate), roof pitch, and structural needs — tile is heavy, so framing sometimes has to be reinforced. Tile lasts 50+ years and excels in hot, sunny climates but costs more to install than asphalt or metal.
