Commercial Roofing | Kirkwood, Missouri
Bade Roofing Company was selected to replace the roofing system at The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum—one of the region’s most beloved family destinations. Following storm damage, the museum team filed an insurance claim and trusted Bade Roofing to lead the restoration process with care and expertise.
The majority of the project focused on intricate shingle work for the museum’s main building, which required precision to maintain the structure’s historical character and curb appeal. Additional work included roofing on a portion of the warehouse and a small pavilion located behind the main structure.
High-quality architectural shingles were selected for their durability and visual consistency with the building’s classic design.
This was a particularly challenging project due to limited access around much of the property. The crew had to work carefully to avoid damage to landscaping and concrete walkways, while also coordinating around a fully operational public attraction. All work had to be performed while the museum remained open, requiring tight logistics and clear communication to maintain safety and minimize disruptions.
Despite the challenges, the job went off without a hitch. The new shingle system was installed with care and craftsmanship, protecting this local landmark while preserving its welcoming appearance. Bade Roofing’s attention to detail and professionalism ensured a smooth process from start to finish—keeping the museum safe, functional, and open to the community.
