Sequenced so the front desk can hold a block out of inventory instead of losing the whole property.
Hotel roofing, at a glance
Hotel and hospitality roofing in St. Louis means working above paying guests, which changes the schedule more than the scope. John Beal Roofing sequences by wing, keeps noisy work inside agreed hours, protects entrances and porte-cochères, and leaves every section watertight before the crew leaves for the day. Free inspections and phased pricing per wing. Free inspections. Call (314) 429-6000.
A hotel roof is rarely one roof. There is usually a low-slope membrane over the guest wings, something steeper over the lobby or porte-cochère, and a mechanical zone crowded with rooftop units serving hundreds of rooms.
Each of those needs a different answer, and the property cannot close while you sort it out. So we scope wing by wing, price each one, and build a sequence around occupancy rather than around what is convenient for the crew.
What we look at on a hotel roof
- Kitchen, laundry and pool or spa exhaust curbs, the usual leak source
- Phasing by wing so rooms stay sellable
- Noise timing against checkout and quiet hours
- Water intrusion into guest rooms that becomes a refund the same night
How It Runs
Working Above Paying Guests
Noise timed to checkout
Loud work starts after the checkout curve, not at dawn over sleeping guests.
Exhaust curbs rebuilt
Kitchen, laundry and pool exhaust penetrations rebuilt, since that is where hotel leaks usually start.
Rooftop mechanical
Hundreds of rooms hang off those units. We coordinate curb work and any short shutdowns with your engineer, in writing, before they happen.
Commercial roof repairWatertight nightly
Nothing is opened that cannot be dried in the same day. There is no scenario where a guest room ceiling is exposed overnight.
Phased by budget year
For flags with capital approval cycles we price each wing separately so the work can straddle two budget years.

Documentation Your Flag Will Ask For
Franchise property improvement plans usually name the roof, and they want proof rather than an invoice.
You get dated photo documentation of the assembly as it went down, warranty registration in the ownership entity's name, and the manufacturer's inspection sign-off where the system requires one.
For claims after a hail event, the same file works for the adjuster — test squares, strike documentation and a scope written in the language they price from.
Everything lands in one package the asset manager can forward without reformatting it.
Common Questions
Do we have to take rooms out of service?
Almost never. Sequencing by wing and dry-in discipline mean the rooms below stay sellable. Occasionally a small block goes offline for a day during work directly over it.
How early can crews start?
Whatever your property sets. Most St. Louis hotels we work with land on a start after the morning checkout rush and a stop before evening arrivals.
Can you work around a rooftop pool or amenity deck?
Yes. Amenity decks get their own sequence and their own protection plan, usually scheduled for the shoulder season when use is lowest.
What about the porte-cochère?
It is the highest-visibility piece and usually the last one done, in a single tight push, with a covered walkway for arrivals throughout.
Do you handle insurance claims on hotels?
Yes. We document the damage, write the scope in adjuster terms, and meet the adjuster on the roof.
