It might seem counterintuitive, but one part of your house that’s easy to overlook is the roof. That is, until something goes wrong.
Even a leaky roof – if a leak develops where it’s not readily noticed – can have disastrous effects, turning a simple repair into a significant and costly new installation.
Professional Restoration, a St. Charles company that is branching out to serve the Lake of the Ozarks, brings expertise and the equipment to diagnose roof problems, and potential problems too.
Started in 2000, the company specializes in all aspects of home and building remodeling, both interior and exterior. Megan Stegman, business development manager at Professional Restoration, said the company’s Lake operation focuses on roofs, gutters and siding.
“We rely heavily on referrals for the majority of our new business,” she said. “So it’s really important that we complete each project on time, on budget and with professional quality workmanship.”
Whether your siding is damaged or your roof needs new gutters, Professional Restoration has you covered. “We repair hail damage, wind damage, and storm damage on commercial and residential roofs,” Stegman said. “We will tackle any size project, from roof replacement to small roof repairs.”
Stegman said the company emphasizes three primary tenets in every job it takes on: Quality of construction, value, and trust. It’s crucial that customers, often already facing the stress of a natural disaster, can put aside their worries when rebuilding, she said.
“We are able to walk them through the insurance process while providing free inspections and estimates for their immediate reconstruction needs,” she said. “Our goal is to not only add value to your home, but to your life as well.”
And although the company was started by Myriah Boettler in St. Charles 17 years ago, Boettler has been visiting the Lake of the Ozarks for years, and last year bought a home here. She’s learned to love the area and hopes to bring her company’s commitment to quality construction at a reasonable cost to her Lake of the Ozarks neighbors.
Because of Professional Restoration's connection to the St. Louis area, the company has materials and products that aren’t always readily available at the Lake. One unique offering: Atlas Pristine shingles, which are manufactured using the latest in algae-resistant technology.
Why algae-resistant? Algae forms on any roof where there is moisture, but it is particularly prevalent in areas of high humidity, like mid-Missouri. The Atlas Pristine shingles prevent algae from growing and causing ugly streaks and stains on a roof.
“The color you pick and use on the roof, is the color it stays,” Stegman said.
And since algae spores are carried by the wind, even if a roof doesn’t have stains and streaking now, it soon could. Copper-infused granules in the Pristine shingles are what keeps the algae from forming, preventing the need for pressure washing or chemical cleansing. Stegman said the product is backed by a 10-year warranty. “If there are streaks on the roof, it’s a full replacement,” she added.
Homeowners can be vigilant about keeping their roofs, gutters and siding in good shape. Having annual inspections is important. But the most effective way to ensure a home is in good repair is to have its components installed and serviced by an experienced, trustworthy contractor.
“The storms may start outside, but often they don’t stay there,” Stegman said. “Our state-of-the-art equipment, treatments and drying capabilities can reduce the mental and financial burden roof damage can cause. Our insurance experts can get a restored roof over your head while helping guide you through the claims process, with assured results. We try to build those bonds of trust and integrity at every stage of the process – from clean-up to project completion.”
