Our Story
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
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.
What We Do
Specialized Roofing Services
From slate roof repair to clay tile installation and asphalt shingle replacement — premium roofing materials installed by experienced hands across the St. Louis metro.
Slate Roofing
Natural slate is the gold standard of roofing — lasting 100 years or more when installed properly. We source premium slate and install it with the precision this material demands. New installations, repairs, and full restorations.
Clay Tile Roofing
From traditional barrel tile to flat interlocking profiles, we install and repair clay tile roofs that bring timeless character and exceptional durability. Perfect for St. Louis's varied architecture.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
The most popular roofing choice in America — and we install them right. From architectural shingles to premium designer options, paired with expert copper flashing and detail work that sets your roof apart.
Roof Restoration
Own a historic home? We specialize in restorations that preserve your home's character while bringing the roof back to peak condition. Period-correct materials and techniques.
Inspections & Assessments
Not sure about your roof's condition? We provide thorough inspections with honest assessments — no upselling, no scare tactics. Just a clear picture of what your roof needs.
Emergency Repairs
Storm damage won't wait and neither do we. We respond quickly to emergency calls across the St. Louis metro to get your home protected and dry as fast as possible.
Copper & Metal Work
Flashing, valleys, gutters, and decorative elements — our copper and metal work is fabricated and installed with the same attention to detail as every slate and tile we set.
