Tear-off or recover
We test the roof before recommending either. A recover on a wet roof is money spent sealing water in.
Commercial Roof Replacement, at a glance
John Beal Roofing replaces commercial roofs across the St. Louis metro and Metro East Illinois — TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up and metal, on apartment buildings, churches, HOA communities, retail centers, offices and warehouses. Scopes are written line by line, work is phased so the building stays open, and the manufacturer warranty is registered under your address. Free inspections. Call (314) 429-6000.
What Is Included
The Work, Line By Line
System specified to the building
Membrane type and thickness chosen for what the roof does, not for what is cheapest to buy that week.
Compare roof systemsDrainage corrected
Tapered insulation and drain work where the roof ponds, because ponding is what kills the next roof too.
Gutters and drainageDeck repair as an allowance
A stated quantity at a stated price, so what we find under the old roof is not a surprise.
Phased by building or section
Large properties and portfolios funded across budget years instead of one number.
Capital planningWarranty registered
Manufacturer coverage filed under your building, plus our lifetime workmanship warranty on qualifying work.
Warranty guide
Why This Company
Family-Run In St. Louis Since 1947
John Beal's grandfather started this company in 1947. Three generations later it is still owned by the family, still headquartered in Maryland Heights, and still sending out the same crews it trains itself.
That matters on a commercial roof because the warranty is only worth the company standing behind it. Storm-chasing outfits sell hard for six weeks after a hail event and are unreachable by the time the seams open up.
- A real 24/7 line. A live dispatcher answers at 2 a.m., not an answering service that takes a message until Monday.
- Manufacturer certified. Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, with the certifications commercial systems require for full warranty coverage.
- Documented every visit. Dated photos, measurements and a written scope, so owners and boards have a record and adjusters have evidence.
- Lifetime workmanship warranty. On qualifying work, backed by a company that has been here since 1947.

Common Questions
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
A small low-slope roof can be a few days. A large phased apartment or warehouse project runs weeks, and we give a real date range at scope.
Do we have to close the building?
No. We open only what can be dried in the same day and sequence around your hours, tenants and residents.
Can you replace one section instead of the whole roof?
Yes, when the sections are independent. We price them separately so you can decide.
What happens if it rains mid-project?
Every day ends with the roof watertight. That is the rule the schedule is built around.
How much does it cost?
It depends on size, system, tear-off versus recover, deck condition and access. We break all of it out in writing at no cost.
