What a Real Residential Roof Installation Includes
A residential roof installation done right starts at the deck and works up. Full tear-off down to the sheathing, deck inspection with replacement of any soft or damaged panels, synthetic underlayment across the entire roof, ice-and-water shield in valleys and at the eaves, then the shingle system from the bottom course up, installed to manufacturer specification for nail pattern, exposure, and sealing. Ridge caps, step flashing at sidewalls, counter-flashing at chimneys, and sealed pipe boots complete the weather barrier. Ventilation is sized and balanced last — intake at the soffits, exhaust at the ridge — because a new roof without proper ventilation will degrade ahead of schedule and may void the shingle warranty.
Layer-overs — nailing new shingles over an existing layer — are not offered by Revolve. They hide deck damage, add structural weight, shorten the effective life of the new shingle system, and are excluded from most manufacturer system warranty programs. Every Revolve installation starts clean.
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed: What the Certifications Mean
Revolve carries GAF Certified, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster credentials. These are not marketing partnerships — they require passing installation training, maintaining insurance levels, and meeting manufacturer quality standards. The practical benefit to the homeowner: your shingle warranty is backed by the manufacturer, not just a contractor handshake, and system warranties covering both materials and workmanship are available.
GAF Timberline HDZ is the most popular residential shingle in the US market — StainGuard Plus algae protection, LayerLock technology rated to 130-mph winds, and a lifetime limited warranty. Owens Corning Duration Series features SureNail reinforced nailing strip technology for maximum wind resistance. CertainTeed Landmark Series is the preferred choice for homeowners prioritizing color selection: 30+ colors, Cedar Impressions textures, and a StreakFighter color warranty. All three perform well in St. Louis's hail-prone, high-humidity, freeze-thaw climate.
The Installation Process: What to Expect Day-by-Day
Day one of a standard residential install begins with staging — dumpster placement, tarp layout to protect landscaping and AC units, equipment positioning. Tear-off follows: old shingles are stripped, underlayment removed, and the deck exposed and inspected. Damaged sheathing is replaced before any new material goes on. Underlayment and ice shield are installed that same day to ensure the home is weathered-in overnight.
Day two covers the shingle installation from eave to ridge, all flashing work, ridge cap installation, and pipe boot sealing. Final ventilation installation and a ground-level debris sweep close out the day. On a straightforward 1,700-sq-ft ranch-style roof, both days are typically completed within 8–10 work hours each. More complex roofs — multiple stories, steep pitch, complex geometry, or significant deck repair — add time proportionally.
Permit inspections (required in most St. Louis metro jurisdictions) are scheduled by Revolve and happen after installation. The homeowner does not need to be present for the inspection — we coordinate directly with the inspecting municipality.
Pricing, Warranties, and What Drives the Cost
Residential roof installation pricing is driven by: roof area (squares), pitch factor (steep roofs cost more per square), number of existing layers to remove, extent of deck repair needed, shingle tier selected, ventilation system specified, and accessory upgrades (premium underlayment, wider ice shield coverage, copper pipe boots). Revolve provides itemized estimates — not a single bottom-line number — so you can see exactly what you are paying for and make informed trade-off decisions.
A typical 1,700-sq-ft St. Louis home runs $8,500–$14,000 for a full architectural shingle replacement as of 2025. Metal roofing and designer shingle systems run higher. Revolve's workmanship warranty is provided in writing at contract signing. Manufacturer warranties are registered with the manufacturer at installation completion.
