Protect Your Home Before the Heat and Storms Hit the Greater St. Louis Area
As the weather warms up in the Greater St. Louis area, many homeowners shift their attention to outdoor projects and summer plans. But before the full heat of summer sets in — along with the potential for strong storms — it’s important to make sure your roof is ready.
At Bade Roofing, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly minor issues can turn into major repairs when left unchecked during the hottest months. Here’s how to tell if it’s time for a roof inspection, and why early action can protect your home and save you money.
Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense. If they’re starting to curl, crack, or lose granules, your roof could be vulnerable to UV damage, leaks, and poor ventilation — all common concerns in the summer heat.
Keep an eye out for:
A hot attic might seem normal in the summer, but poor ventilation can lead to mold, higher energy bills, and shortened roof lifespan. If your attic feels especially stuffy or you’ve noticed musty odors, it could indicate that your roof’s ventilation system needs attention.
The Greater St. Louis area is no stranger to unpredictable spring weather. If your home experienced hail or high winds this spring, it’s smart to schedule a roof inspection — even if you don’t see visible damage. Small punctures or lifted shingles may not leak right away, but they can weaken the roof over time.
Interior signs like ceiling stains, peeling paint, or bubbling wall coverings often mean water is getting through your roof. These signs should never be ignored — they’re a clear signal that your roof needs attention.
If it’s been more than a year since a professional last looked at your roof, summer is the ideal time to schedule one. Even newer roofs benefit from routine checkups, and a quick inspection can catch problems before they become emergencies.
Schedule your summer inspection early. Roofing companies in the Greater St. Louis area book up quickly when storm season hits, so it’s best to get ahead of any potential issues now.

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.
