Roofing replacement in Kirkwood, MO and beyond is a labor-intensive project and, depending on the type of roof, could take anywhere from a day to a few days or more, in our experience, depending on the size and complexity. The time involved is substantially affected by the weather, as well. Wind, snow, rain, or even just the threat of one of these will slow the process considerably.

Ice dams occur when snow melts near the ridgelines of warm roofs (roofs without adequate ventilation). As the water runs down the roof to the overhang, it cools and freezes. If the snow continues this melt-and-freeze process, an ice dam can form that can seep under the shingles, through the decking, and into the house. This, of course, can cause serious roof leaks, even in freezing temperatures, and cause serious need for roof repair in Kirkwood, MO and beyond.
