Tree-lined streets and shaded roofs
Why so many Webster Groves roofs look streaked
Webster Groves is known for its mature trees and shaded, tree-lined streets. That shade is great for the yard, but it keeps a roof damp for longer after rain and morning dew, and older shingles in those conditions often pick up the dark streaks and uneven color you can see in the before photos.
Falling leaves and branches add to the wear by clogging gutters and holding moisture along the roof edges. Once an older roof starts showing these signs together, a full replacement is usually a better investment than chasing one repair after another.

Why IKO Cambridge Dual Grey suits this Webster Groves bungalow
Red brick bungalows are a big part of what gives Webster Groves its character, and the right roof color makes a real difference on them. Dual Grey is a cool blend of light and medium greys that lets the warm brick stand out instead of competing with it, and it reads crisp and clean against the deep green of the surrounding trees.
IKO Cambridge is an architectural shingle with a laminated, dimensional profile that gives the roof the depth and shadow lines of a more expensive material. It is a dependable choice for St. Louis area homes because it balances curb appeal, durability and value.
On a red brick home, a cool grey roof lets the brick carry the color, and the whole house looks sharper and better kept from the street.
How we handled this Webster Groves roof replacement
The crew tore the old roof down to the decking, replaced any damaged wood, and rebuilt it as a complete system. That system includes ice and water barrier at the eaves and in the valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing, proper ventilation, and the IKO Cambridge shingles on top.
This home sits on a narrow, tree-lined lot, so the crew staged a dumpster right beside the house for the tear-off, as you can see in the after photos. We finished with a magnet sweep for stray nails, hauled away every piece of the old roof and walked the completed job with the homeowners.

Roof replacement questions from Webster Groves homeowners
How long does a roof replacement take in Webster Groves?
Most single-family homes like this bungalow are torn off and re-roofed in one day. Larger roofs or homes that need decking replaced can take a second day, and we confirm the schedule in writing before we start.
What color is IKO Cambridge Dual Grey?
Dual Grey is a blend of light and medium grey granules. It reads as a clean, cool grey from the street and pairs especially well with red brick, white trim and stone.
Why do shaded roofs get dark streaks?
Roofs that stay shaded and damp for long periods often develop dark streaks, which are usually caused by algae growing on the shingle surface. The streaks are mostly cosmetic at first, but they tend to show up on older roofs that are nearing the end of their life.
