Roofing and Siding in Pacific, Missouri

Roofing and siding in Pacific: the local context that matters

Pacific runs along Osage Street, the old Route 66, on the eastern edge of Franklin County where the county line meets southwest St. Louis County. Emmendorfer crews drive in from the Union shop about 25 minutes west, the same family operation Matt Emmendorfer started in 1990 and moved to Union in 2003. The town's 7,400 residents live in a mix of Victorian-era homes near the historic downtown, post-war bungalows, and the newer subdivisions like the Manors at Brush Creek north of the highway. Each housing stock fails differently, and a Pacific roof gets walked before anyone quotes it.

The Meramec River wraps the south and east side of Pacific, and the sandstone bluffs under Jensen's Point throw weather around in ways the flatter towns out west do not see. Straight-line wind comes up the open river valley and tears shingles off the exposed roofs near the bluff. Spring and summer hail hits the same neighborhoods that flooded in December 2015 and December 1982, so a lot of Pacific homeowners already know how an insurance claim works. Tom Emmendorfer runs the claim side and walks the adjuster through the hail and wind damage in person.

Emmendorfer is a real roofing and siding company, not a roofer that lists siding as an afterthought. The Victorian homes near downtown Pacific and the older bungalows off Route 66 often need the siding and the roof addressed together, and the family does both with one in-house crew, never subcontracted. The estimate names the manufacturer, whether that is a CertainTeed or Owens Corning shingle on the roof or LP SmartSide on the walls. Failed decking and fascia gets replaced before the new roof goes on, not covered over.

What we do in Pacific

• Roof replacement on Pacific's bluff and river homes. Roofs near Jensen's Point and along the Meramec take the worst of the straight-line wind that funnels up the river valley. Emmendorfer walks the roof first, then replaces it in CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Malarkey, or GAF, and names that manufacturer on the written estimate so the price you approve is the price you pay.
• Hail and storm damage on the Route 66 corridor. Spring and summer hail hits the neighborhoods along Osage Street hard, and a single storm can pock an entire street. Emmendorfer documents the hail and wind damage, and Tom Emmendorfer walks the insurance adjuster through it on the roof, handling the Pacific claim from inspection to the finished install.
• Siding for downtown Victorians and Route 66 bungalows. Pacific's older downtown homes and post-war bungalows lose siding to the humidity off the Meramec bottoms and to freeze-thaw cycles. Emmendorfer sides in LP SmartSide, Royal Building Products, CertainTeed, and Georgia-Pacific, often handling the roof and the siding together with the same in-house family crew.
• Decking and fascia repair on aging Pacific roofs. The Victorian-era and mid-century homes near downtown Pacific often hide rotted decking and fascia under old shingles. Emmendorfer replaces the failed wood instead of covering it, so the new CertainTeed or GAF roof sits on a deck that will hold the next 25 years of Franklin County weather.
• Low-slope, flat, and commercial roofing off Osage Street. Porches, additions, and the older flat-roof buildings along the Route 66 business strip in Pacific need a different system than a steep shingle roof. Emmendorfer installs TriBuilt on low-slope and torch-down sections and Carlisle SynTec TPO on commercial flat roofs for Pacific shops and buildings.
