A roof almost never quits in the middle. It quits at the transitions. Six places a roof gives way. The one everyone checks is No. 2, the shingle field — the other five do most of the failing.

A roof almost never fails in the middle

It fails where it meets something else — a wall, a chimney, a vent, another roof plane, or the open edge at the eave. That is why the first useful question about any leak is not what the shingles look like, but what is nearby.

The work

Eleven cities, two rivers

Eleven cities across Greater St. Louis — from the brick blocks of the city and the pre-war suburbs under their canopy to the newest plats across the Missouri, all of them working through the same oscillating winter and the same July.
