What Goes Into Your New Roof
Every layer matters. A roof fails at its weakest detail, so we build the whole system — not just the part you see from the street.
Before work begins, we walk you through each component, the materials we recommend, and why.
- Roof decking — the structural surface everything attaches to
- Underlayment — the water-shedding layer beneath the shingles
- Shingles — the visible, weather-facing surface of the roof
- Flashing — sealed transitions at chimneys, walls, and valleys
- Roof-edge details — drip edge and starter courses that protect the perimeter
- Ventilation — intake and exhaust that let the roof breathe
- Ridge & hip caps — finished protection along the peaks
- Water protection — ice and water barriers in vulnerable areas

Planned Around Your Home
Most Missouri homes are re-roofed in a day or two once materials arrive — but the planning starts well before the first shingle comes off.
We inspect the existing roof, check the decking condition, and document anything that needs attention underneath. You'll see photos of what we find before we price the work.
Then you choose your shingles and colors — certified TAMKO and Owens Corning lines — and we schedule the installation around your household, not the other way around.

Common Questions
How do I know it's time to replace instead of repair?
Age, widespread granule loss, recurring leaks, and storm damage across multiple slopes all point toward replacement. We'll show you what we see and tell you honestly when a repair is enough.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are completed in a day or two once materials arrive, depending on size, pitch, and weather. We give you a timeline before work begins.
What happens if you find bad decking?
We document it with photos, explain what needs to be replaced and why, and review the cost with you before proceeding.
What shingles can I choose from?
ECI is certified with TAMKO and Owens Corning. You can compare colors with our Roof Color Comparison tool or build your full roof selection online before we meet.
