Washington, MO Roofing & Siding
Washington is the biggest city in Franklin County and it has its own way of weathering. It sits on the bluffs above the Missouri River where Highway 47 crosses the water and Highway 100 and Route A funnel traffic in from every direction, and the river valley pulls weather straight up the channel. The historic brick blocks downtown near the riverfront, the corncob-pipe district, the older neighborhoods up the hill, and the newer subdivisions spreading south toward the bypass each carry a different roof, and each one fails on a different timeline. We have been on Washington roofs since 1990, long before half the storm-chasing trucks in town knew the name of the river they were parked next to.
We are not a Union company driving into Washington for the day. Tom Emmendorfer is based here, the second family office runs under the older Emmendorfer Roofing name in town, and we have sponsored Washington High School and middle-school sports for years, the basketball, the football, the softball. When you call about a roof on Jefferson Street or out toward the fairgrounds, you reach a family that watches the same Friday-night scoreboard you do. That is the difference between us and the Kirkwood and Fenton outfits that own a Washington landing page and nothing else in this county.
Washington roofs rarely die from one storm. They die from the stack. Spring and early-summer hail and straight-line wind off the river bruise the shingles, then a hard Missouri winter of freeze-thaw works those bruises, expanding and contracting the mat until seams, flashing, and nail heads loosen, and then the next April hail finds the opening. The federally declared March 2025 disaster across eastern Missouri, with tornadoes, large hail, and straight-line winds over 75 mph through Franklin County, worked roofs across this whole county, and a 1990s subdivision roof on the south side takes that hail very differently than a steep older roof above the riverfront. We have replaced and repaired enough of both in Washington to read it from the driveway.
