Built on Integrity,
One Roof at a Time

Upward Roofing was founded by Steven Ward with a simple belief: a roof should be built to outlast the roofer who builds it. Built on over 20 years of hands-on roofing experience with extensive knowledge in slate and tile roofing, Steven has restored and installed roofs across the St. Louis metro — from historic homes in Lafayette Square to stately residences in Ladue.

We're not a franchise. We're not a call center. When you hire Upward Roofing, you get Steven and his crew on your roof — experienced tradesmen who take personal pride in every course of slate laid and every tile set.

Fully insured, fully bonded, and fully committed to doing the job right the first time.

We let our work — and our customers — speak for us.

"We have a 1920s home in Webster Groves with the original slate roof. Steven and his team did an incredible restoration — matched the existing slate perfectly, replaced damaged pieces, and repointed the flashing. You'd never know it was touched. Absolute craftsmen."

"After getting three quotes for our clay tile roof, Upward Roofing was the clear choice. Steven actually came out himself, walked the roof, and gave us an honest assessment. No pressure, no upsell — just the truth about what needed fixing. The work was flawless."

"A massive storm took out a section of our slate roof and we were panicking. Steven responded same day, tarped everything to prevent further damage, and had the full repair done within the week. Professional, fast, and genuinely cared about our home."

Brentwood, MO
"We hired Upward for a full clay tile installation on our new build. Steven's attention to detail is something else — he personally checked every valley and ridge line. Two years in and it looks as perfect as the day it was finished. Worth every penny."

Ladue, MO
"I'm a real estate agent and I've referred Upward Roofing to at least a dozen clients. Every single one has come back thanking me. Steven is honest about what a roof actually needs — he's told clients they DON'T need a full replacement when other roofers were pushing for one. That's integrity."

"Our historic home in Lafayette Square needed a complete slate roof overhaul. Steven sourced period-appropriate slate and his crew treated our 150-year-old house with incredible care. The copper flashing work is beautiful. They cleaned up every day before leaving. First-class operation."
