Tower Grove South sits in the independent city of St. Louis with rows of early-1900s brick two-flats and single-family homes on narrow lots. QA Roof Exteriors handles roof repair calls after the severe thunderstorms that roll through each spring and summer, replacing damaged asphalt shingles and fixing flashing around chimneys common on these older roofs. Crews work from alleys behind Grand Boulevard and Arsenal Street where equipment space is limited.
Winter freezes followed by rapid thaws create ice dam leaks along the eaves of homes bordering Tower Grove Park. The company schedules roof replacement projects in this neighborhood during drier fall windows to avoid the humid continental heat that softens shingles and makes afternoon work difficult. Nearby access via Tower Grove Avenue keeps material deliveries straightforward for properties between the park and the Missouri Botanical Garden edge.

Roof Repair in Tower Grove South — Local Notes
- •Narrow lots and alley-only rear access on many Tower Grove South blocks require smaller equipment and hand-carrying of shingles and tear-off debris.
- •Early 20th-century brick two-flats often have multiple roof planes meeting at valleys that trap debris and leak first during heavy rains.
- •Severe summer storms with high winds and hail hit this area hard, frequently damaging south-facing slopes on homes near Grand Boulevard.
- •Cold winter temperatures cause older asphalt to become brittle, so repair patches must use compatible materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles.
