What we see on Alton homes

The median house in Alton was built in 1953, and 73.9% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 12,513 housing units, 57.1% of the occupied ones owner-occupied, which is a lower share than most of the towns we cover. A good deal of what we look at here is a rental or a recent purchase, and in both cases the useful question is what has to be done now against what can wait. 27.6% of it predates 1940, and on a roof that usually means a steeper pitch, board decking rather than plywood, and at least one layer somebody added instead of tore off.

On a roof from that stretch the first question is how many layers are already up there. Two is common and three happens. Add decking that is still the original, and a ridge vent somebody retrofitted twenty years later and sized by eye, and there are three separate things to price rather than one. The consultation settles which of them actually apply before anyone puts a number on the job.

What the winters do here

The 1991-2020 snowfall normal at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, about 16 miles away, is 16.6 inches a year. That is why the ice-and-water shield at the eaves goes on every roof we do rather than only the ones that ask for it.

What we can put on an Alton house

IKO Dynasty for the wind rating and the color blends, IKO Nordic when Class 4 impact is worth having. The shingles are mold, mildew and algae resistant. We carry CertainTeed and GAF as well, so if a subdivision covenant names a product we are not locked out of it. Most roofs get a full tear-off, with ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and new drip edge. We never reuse drip edge. Where the deck and the existing layer allow it, an overlay is an option, and we will tell you honestly which one your roof is a candidate for.

There is a showroom at 2424 Hwy 94 S. Outer Rd., St. Charles, MO 63303. Color on a screen is not color in daylight, and a sample chip is not a panel, so it is worth the drive before you commit to either.

Two things people in Alton ask

Do I need a permit for this in Alton?

It depends on the scope, and City of Alton Building and Zoning Department is the office that decides. We check before the crew is booked and we pull the permit when one is needed, so it is never something you find out about halfway through.

Kenny is absolutely awesome and wonderful to work with. I am scheduled to get my roofing done at the end of this month and I am super excited. Mister Kenny has eased my mind on so many issues and has helped me get all the issues I need in a budget within reach for my family. I did have some minor issues with this company many years ago but they have fought hard to earn my trust back and im excited to do more business with them in the future.

I’m so glad I had these guys out again. They took care of me on a bathroom project and now they’re going to take care of my roof. I’m very excited to get another job done by this company. It’s nice having the peace of mind knowing that they’re gonna do it right way. I’m in lake St. Louis and will be using this company for all my future projects.

Scott M came out on day we had appointment for a quote he was very professional and explained what their process was and what was being done and all the material that was being used. Wife and I discussed about the roof and it was a no brainer we contacted him to sign contract and do all the necessary paperwork work. We are looking forward to having them put a new roof on our home we purchased

I have to admit, I’ve never heard of a roof being completely redone in 6 1/2 hours… start to finish! The quality of their work is outstanding. They have a great crew that moves effortlessly as a team! The roof is absolutely beautiful. The clean up after was stellar. I can’t say enough about how pleased we are! Thank you Steve, Craig and all at Bath and Planet. I highly recommended them for any projects you have!!!!

I was very impressed with this company. I got them from Anji list I spoke to someone on Wednesday, they were at my home the very next day .The sales man was friendly and very knowledgeable. He really put me at ease when he told me they would put a tarp up until they could get the roof replaced. We were expecting rain and they were running 3 weeks out, and I had shingles missing from a wind storm the week before. The rain came and so did they with the tarp . And within a week and a day of me first speaking to them I had anew roof .There workers left my yard, front porch, and deck cleaned and cleared of all the debris. You will be glad you choose them I am. THE WERE AWESOME

Just had a great appointment with Steve Watts. Was friendly, very informative, wasn’t pushy like a lot of reps we’ve dealt with lately from other companies. Was able to get us a great price on roof replacement, and is going to try to get the project going as soon as possible to fix all the roof damage before the winter weather hits.

My mom was having a very hard time finding someone to update her roof or the price was crazy high. Bob Miller with Perfect Choice Exterior did not play any games. He showed up a the time he said and gave her a great price.

They provided a trustworthy and honest opinion about the status of my house roof. They saved me a lot of money, unlike another company that tried to take advantage of me by claiming I needed a full roof replacement.

Amazing Job, complete exterior remodeling done exactly how I wanted it. Their Louvered Patio covers are great! The roof of the cover consists of solar panels that can be adjusted anyway you want. When they close all the way it makes a watertight seal, so I can be on the grill even when it's pooring down rain. If I ever need anything done to my home again, I will without a doubt be contacting home improvement select. I highly recommend this company to anybody who needs anything done to their home!

I want to thank Bob Miller from Bath Planet of St. Louis, for giving me a competitive estimate on my roof, thats right I said roof ! He took good care of me answered all my questions, even the ones that came op after the deal ( at least 4). He even helped me out with a basement window issue that I didn't have any idea who to call to fix it. The crew came out had to replace both the decking and the shingles for me , cleaned everything up, they were super polite and didn't mind me constantly checking in. Great job , Bob and team , much appreciated.

I just want to let people know how easy and delightful it was to work with the young man who helped me decide about all the work I had to have done to get my shingles replaced.. He works for Bath Planet of St Louis & More. I cannot remember his name but of you decide to use this company I am sure they will know his name. It was very pleasant to work with him and he answered all my questions no matter how dumb I sounded about this kind of work.

Bath Planet (Perfect Choice Home Solutions) replace my three-car garage roof and gutters. Looks really good with the blue shingles. Great job, no more water in the garage and Bob Miller gave me a great price/quote as well…Win, Win. I am still awaiting the fascia install but all in all very pleased. Thank You! Steve
