Install the Roofing Material: Whether you’re installing asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or another material, begin at the bottom and work your way upward. Each layer should overlap the one below.
Install Flashing: Flashing is essential around roof penetrations, such as chimneys or vents, to prevent leaks.

Missouri experiences a range of weather conditions, including hot summers, cold winters, and severe storms. The best roofing materials for this climate are asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile roofing. Asphalt shingles are a popular choice due to their affordability and durability, especially against hail and wind. Metal roofing offers superior longevity and resistance to extreme weather, including heavy snow and ice. Tile roofing, while more expensive, provides excellent insulation and protection against heat.

In Missouri, it’s recommended to have your roof inspected at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall. Regular roof inspections help identify potential issues, such as loose shingles, leaks, or damaged flashing, which may occur due to the state’s heavy storms, high winds, and fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, after any significant weather event, such as a hailstorm or tornado, an immediate inspection is crucial to prevent further damage.

There are several signs that indicate your roof may need to be replaced in Missouri. These include missing shingles, curling or cracked shingles, frequent leaks, and visible sagging in the roof structure. Additionally, if your roof is more than 20 years old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan, especially if it’s made of asphalt shingles.
