Roof Replacement in Pacific, MO
Replacing a roof in Pacific means choosing the Franklin County family that drives east from Union, not one of the St. Louis metro outfits that cross the line off Interstate 44 after every storm. Pacific sits where the Meramec River bends through town and I-44 splits the old Route 66 corridor, which is exactly why so many out-of-county roofers list it and so few stay. We have replaced roofs across this county since 1990, roughly 2,400 Missouri homes in all, and 306 of them in 2025 alone. When a Pacific roof has reached the end, a real Emmendorfer climbs it, walks every slope, and hands you a written number before a single shingle is ordered.
Pacific roofs age in a real mix of housing, and each kind fails its own way. The older homes tucked under the bluffs near the historic downtown and the limestone outcrops off Osage Street take hail differently than the post-war ranches north of the railroad tracks or the newer two-stories climbing the Highway N ridge toward Gray Summit. By the time any of them needs a full replacement, the trouble is usually in the wood as much as the shingles. Our complete tear-off is the only honest way to see it. We replace soft plywood and failed fascia, show you the bad decking before we cover it back up, and waterproof the valleys and eaves against the ice damming a river-valley winter drives in.
What our roof replacement includes in Pacific
A real replacement is more than a tear-off and a new layer. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.
Full tear-off to the deck
We strip every old layer down to the wood. A layover hides rotten decking and voids most manufacturer warranties, so we only recommend it in rare cases. Tearing off is the only way to see what the storms and freeze-thaw have actually done.
Replace failed decking and fascia
With the deck exposed we replace soft or rotten plywood, then tighten and replace failed fascia boards and gutter boards. We talk you through what we find while we are up there, so you know what is going on your home and why.
New underlayment and ice-and-water shield
Valleys, eaves, and penetrations get a waterproof membrane before the field shingles go on. This is where Missouri freeze-thaw and ice damming would otherwise find their way in.
Install your chosen system
We set a complete system from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Malarkey, or GAF, matched to your home rather than to one supplier. The brand is on your written estimate before we order it.
Clean to no footprint
We magnet-sweep the yard for nails and haul every scrap. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and get out without leaving a footprint.
What ends a Pacific roof is the eastern Missouri stack, not one bad afternoon. The federally declared March 2025 disaster drove tornadoes, straight-line winds over 75 mph, and large hail across eastern Missouri, hammering roofs just west of here in Sullivan and Catawissa, and Pacific's spot down in the Meramec valley catches the wind and water that follows. Spring hail bruises the shingles, a winter of freeze and thaw works those bruises open, and the next summer's storm finds the gap. Because our shop is in Union, not across the metro line, we can be on a storm-hit Pacific roof the same day. And on a claim, Tom Emmendorfer meets your adjuster on the roof here, walking the full damage scope onto the record before they form their own view. In the most storm-chased town we serve, that local accountability is the whole point.
