What we see on Belleville homes
The median house in Belleville was built in 1960, and 63.1% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 20,187 housing units, 61% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 26.3% 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 the Belleville SIU research station, about 8 miles away, is 11.2 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 a Belleville 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. Most people change their mind about a color at least once standing in front of the full-size panel, which is a much cheaper place to do it.
