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.
