Research shows that roofs that are not properly maintained typically last only half of their expected service life. While you may have a warranty, it's important to note that most manufacturers require proper maintenance to honor the warranty. That's why experienced facility managers turn to Bade Roofing for inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
Severe weather is a concern for many facility managers in St. Louis, particularly with increased rainfall and flooding. Bade Roofing performs inspections year-round to ensure roofs can withstand the elements, including the extreme heat of summer. Neglecting maintenance can be costly. Let's do the math: if a 50,000 square-foot roof with a 10-year lifespan costs $500,000 to install, neglecting maintenance could mean needing to replace the roof after just 5 years, costing an additional $500,000.
On average, it costs about 2% of the roof installation per year to maintain a roof. So, in the same example, that amounts to $10,000 per year. Over 10 years, that's $100,000. By investing in proper maintenance, you can save $400,000 over the life of your roof.
At Bade Roofing, we take a proactive approach to help you establish a 10-Year Budget Forecast for your roof's maintenance needs. Our services include roof asset management, cost-effective inspections, and repair programs. With our expertise, you can effectively manage your roof, maximize its value, and save money in the long term.
In addition to the cost savings, it's important to remember that maintenance expenses can be deducted from your taxes. With tax season upon us, now is the perfect time to invest in the maintenance of your roof.
You take care of your family, your home, and the neighborhood you’re proud to live in. A solid roof is part of that, even if it’s not something you want to think about every day. Most homeowners are focused on staying ahead of problems, making smart decisions, and protecting what they’ve worked hard to build. When something feels off, a stain on the ceiling, a shingle out of place, a leak that shows up at the worst time, you just want straight answers and a clear plan.
For more than 70 years, Bade Roofing has been trusted across the St. Louis region and surrounding Illinois communities to handle complex commercial projects, hospitals, and local landmarks where performance, safety, and accountability matter. Those buildings have zero room for shortcuts. The roof has to work. The documentation has to be right. The crews have to show up ready.
That same level of expertise, planning, and attention to detail is now fully available for homeowners throughout the region. Bade Roofing is also still what it has always been at its core, a family company. Three generations have carried the work forward, and today the company is led by Matt Bade, the owner and CEO. That matters because the name on the trucks is the same name behind the work, and the reputation is personal. You can feel it in how the team communicates, how clean the job site stays, and how problems get handled when weather turns or surprises show up.
Our residential team brings experienced crews, clear communication, and a practical approach to every home we work on. We take the time to explain what we’re seeing, what needs attention, and what can wait. No pressure. No shortcuts. Just honest guidance from people who live and work in the same communities you do. When you’re ready to take care of your roof, Bade Roofing is here to help you do it right.
