A Complete Roofing System

GAF builds its sloped roofing around a full system, not just the surface shingles. Every residential roof we install can include these components for complete, long-term protection.

Leak Barriers: Self-adhering membranes placed at vulnerable points like valleys and eaves to guard against ice dams.
Roof Deck Protection: Synthetic underlayment laid across the plywood deck that lets moisture escape while keeping external leaks out.
Starter Strips: Pre-cut adhesive strips along the roof’s edge that help prevent wind uplift.
Ridge Cap Shingles: Specialized caps designed to finish and protect the peaks where roof slopes meet.

Hear From St. Louis & Hillsboro Neighbors

Replaced our roof and repaired inside damage from a hail storm. Was here with the insurance adjuster and upgraded several items without asking for additional payment. Excellent service! Would use again.

Charlene Jansen

Edwards Roofing & Repair was the only one of the three that responded to me. I never heard from the other two. As a result, we came to agreement that Edwards would do the work in approx. 1 week, weather permitting. I can’t evaluate quality of work as it hasn’t been done yet. Ed was very professional.

Judith Knutson

“I’m 71years old and have met a lot of people. Edwards roofing not only helped recover a loss due to another contractor scam but also worked exceedingly well with claims adjuster. This company by far exceeds your expectations. Would recommend him in a heart beat . Outstanding person an company.”

Commercial Roofing Materials & Types

Single-Ply Membranes

Flat and low-slope commercial roofs typically call for a single-ply membrane. We install three main options, each suited to different building needs.

EPDM: A synthetic rubber membrane that holds up well over time, flexes with the building, and resists UV rays.
TPO: A thermoplastic sheet that reflects heat away from the building and is installed with hot-air welded seams for a tight bond.
PVC: A strong thermoplastic membrane that stands up to chemicals, fire, and punctures better than most other options.

Coating Applications

For buildings that need an added layer of protection, roof coatings extend the life of an existing roof system.

Acrylic Coatings: A cost-effective, highly reflective option best suited to sloped roofs in drier climates, though they aren’t built to handle ponding water.
Silicone Coatings: The stronger choice for flat roofs and rain-heavy climates like ours, silicone coatings hold up against standing water and keep moisture out over the long term.
