About Arch City Roofers

What we are

Arch City Roofers is a roofing company covering greater St. Louis — St. Louis City and County, St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin and Lincoln Counties, and across the river into Madison, St. Clair and Monroe Counties in Illinois.

We do roofing. Not roofing plus siding plus kitchens. One trade, one set of crews, one warranty to stand behind.

How we are different from the truck that knocked on your door

After a hail storm this metro fills up with out-of-state crews working door to door. Some are fine. Many are not, and by the time the shingles curl they have moved on to the next state. We are here, we pull our own permits, and we are registered where the city requires it.

What we will tell you straight

If your roof does not need replacing, we will say so. If a claim is not worth filing, we will say that too. If we are not the cheapest bid you get, we will tell you exactly what is in ours that is not in theirs.

What we do

Every service has its own page, written from the same sources as the rest of the site:

Insurance claims, and what Missouri law says

Missouri's law on residential contractors (RSMo 407.725) does not let a roofer represent you or negotiate on your insurance claim, or offer to, and it does not let a roofer pay, waive or rebate your deductible. So the line here is simple. We inspect, photograph the damage slope by slope and give you a written, line-item scope you can send your insurer. The claim, the policy and the deductible stay yours, and so does the conversation about what your policy covers. We hold to the same line on the Illinois side of the river.

How the city pages are put together

Each of the 49 city pages is built from that jurisdiction's own published pages and ordinances, researched 2026-09-09. 14 of them publish an answer on whether a re-roof needs a permit, 37 publish the code edition they enforce, and 16 name a building official. Where a city publishes nothing, its page says “Not published” rather than guess, because a guess on a permit page costs the homeowner, not the website.

The housing figures on every city and county page come from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2020–2024; the hail reports from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center; the design figures from the code research in our roofing code guide. Every page lists its own sources at the bottom, so anything on it can be checked.

How a job runs

  1. 1

    The inspection

    We get on the roof, photograph every slope and penetration, and send you the whole set — yours to keep, hire us or not.

  2. 2

    The scope and the price

    One line-itemed proposal with the materials named by brand and product. One number, and it is the number.

  3. 3

    The install

    One dedicated crew start to finish. Landscaping tarped, site tidied daily, magnet run over the yard before we pull out.

  4. 4

    After we leave

    Warranty registered with the manufacturer, finished photos sent, and a phone number that still gets answered in year six.

Where we work

49 cities and jurisdictions across 8 counties, on both sides of the river. Each one has its own page with the local permit rule, the building code edition it enforces and the building department's own number, because in Missouri those change from one city to the next. See every city we cover.
