Ice is coming to St. Louis… is your commercial roof ready?
We’ve seen the forecasts…ice is coming.
Whether it’s this weekend or a few months from now, ice will hit St. Louis again. Now, we’re not in the business of creating fear; that’s not how we do business. We are in the business of taking a good, honest look at reality. We all know what happens when ice storms hit St. Louis:
- Power lines hang dangerously heavy with ice.
- Tree branches snap, sometimes even entire trees topple over.
- Cars and trucks lose traction and commutes turn from minutes into hours.
- People get stranded at work.
- And worst of all, all the bread and milk is gone!
This is the reality of ice storms. Another fact of ice storms is they place significant strain on commercial roofs. From truck depots to warehouses, office buildings, and rec centers, ice can be a heavy burden on large roofs across St. Louis. Our R&A Contracting team has serviced and installed commercial roofs across St. Louis for almost thirty years. We’ve seen more than a few ice storms compromise entire roofing structures. The truth is some of these collapses were easily preventable.
What makes R&A Contracting different than other roofing contractors? When we inspect a commercial roof, we don’t look for the ‘right now’. We look at what your roof can withstand six months from now. The best time to build a boat is before the flood. Few things make us happier than telling a building owner their roof is happy and healthy. That makes our day!
Being honest means we will go to great lengths to show you exactly what needs to be fixed on your roof. We’d rather make the right choice with your roof, even if it means we choose a less expensive solution. Could we justify a complete replacement? If your roof doesn’t need it, that would be dishonest. We know we have the expertise to tell you what sounds good, but that’s not how we do business. We believe in being honest with you about your roof’s health and longevity.
Ice is coming soon to St. Louis… how do you know if your roof is ready for the extra weight? R&A Contracting offers complimentary on-site inspections of any commercial roof. We will answer any question or concern you may have. Click here to schedule your inspection today.
