While a manufacturer’s warranty covers leak repairs, it won’t cover consequential damages. If your roof leaks and damages property interiors, your facility manager might need to file an insurance claim to cover these items. Roofing warranties have other exclusions; in general, they are limited to leaks caused by storms within certain wind speeds. Damages incurred during a Category 5 hurricane, for example, are not going to be covered by your warranty. While your coverage might include damages caused by 55 mph winds, roofing manufacturers aren’t obligated to fix a leak resulting from a Category 1 hurricane with 74 to 95 mph winds. In the event of a hurricane, or other warranty exclusions, it may be time to file an insurance claim.
Facility professionals will want a manufacturer’s warranty. Proper installation is critical, with the best warranties awarded for the best workmanship. So how do you ensure your roof is installed by a contractor who will qualify you for the highest warranty coverage? Manufacturers recognize contractors who consistently install their products with the utmost quality. Look for Versico’s Gold Medal Award (for providing high-quality installations on a consistent basis), Firestone’s Inner Circle of Quality Award (one of the most prestigious honors in the commercial roofing industry), and Carlisle’s Hall of Fame (for completing at least 250 "Perfect 10" roofing installations, recognizing superior workmanship, consistency and continued dedication to perfection). Manufacturers back the companies that merit such honors, and Bade Roofing has earned these awards year after year.

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.
