Exterior Remodeling in Maryland Heights, MO

What we actually see on Maryland Heights homes

Maryland Heights only became a city on May 9, 1985, when several older communities consolidated — so the houses here are considerably older than the city is, and reached 25,407 residents by the 1990 census.

We also cover St. Ann. Rather than keep a thin, near-identical page for every town, we cover them properly here — the work, the crews and the warranty are identical wherever you are in Maryland Heights.

Housing age is the single best predictor of what an exterior needs, and it is why an honest quote in one neighborhood looks nothing like an honest quote two towns over. Here is what roughly 1970 to the mid-1990s housing typically means for each trade.

Roofs

Split-levels and two-story traditionals with straightforward rooflines. Most are on their second or third roof by now, which means what is underneath matters — we check decking condition before we quote, not after we tear off.

Siding, soffit & fascia

This is hardboard and masonite country. That product swells, delaminates and rots from the bottom course up and around every penetration, and no amount of paint stops it. It is the most common full re-side we quote, and it is usually worse behind the trim than it looks from the driveway.

Windows

First-generation vinyl and aluminum replacements are now failing in their own right — blown seals, fogged glass between the panes, and sashes that will not hold position.

Decks

Original pressure-treated pine decks from this period are well past service life. We look at the ledger and the stair stringers first, because that is where a deck actually becomes dangerous.

None of this is a diagnosis of your house. It's what we expect to find before we get on the roof. Sometimes we get up there and tell a homeowner the roof has six good years left and to call us then — that happens more often than you'd think, and we'd rather have the job in six years than sell you something today you didn't need.
