STEP #1
Location – Find a local roofing company with a good reputation and local references. Local roofers will be more concerned about maintaining a good reputation in your area. Look for a long, well-established history of business.
STEP #2
Weather Experts – Look for roofers who truly understand your climate and building needs. Commercial roofers with proven on-time weather response experts are ideal, especially when your area experiences unpredictable and often extreme weather patterns like the ones here in St. Louis.
STEP #3
Responsive – Search for a company that has a great reputation for response and proactive support for your needs. A good commercial roofer works with the latest technology, bringing a fully integrated response team ready to protect their customers' buildings.
STEP #4
Certified – To find a local roofing company that is certified and respected in the area they service, turn to roofing system manufacturers and the certifications and awards they give to recognize superior workmanship, consistency and continued dedication to perfection.
STEP #5
Union – It is important that your roofing company has a good reputation with your local craftsmen. When there is mutual respect, the craftsmen perform the highest work quality and quantity, maximize their skills and abilities, exercise safe and productive work practices, and treat their signatory contractors as their partners in business.
STEP #6
Local Economy – Consider that local roofing companies employ the residents of your community. You want a commercial roofer that not only knows your needs, but also knows your neighborhood; one who doesn’t need to Google your business address to know who and where you are.
STEP #7
Professional – Find a responsive roofer with knowledge and expert advice you can count on. Roof management is a complex and time-consuming challenge; finding a dedicated team ready with expert solutions and quality craftsmanship is essential.
STEP #8
Quality – Look for the company with the best range of roofing expertise. Proper installation is critical with the best roofing warranties awarded for the best workmanship. To ensure your roof is installed properly and for the best coverage, you’ll want to select a manufacturer-recognized roofer who consistently installs their products with the utmost quality.
When you’ve followed these eight steps, you’re more likely to partner with the commercial roofer that’s right for you.

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.
