Your roof
is turning 20.
New Town's first homes went up in 2005. We're Gorilla Roofing, a St. Charles County crew, and we'd like to be the one you call when your roof, siding or gutters need a look. The roof inspection is free. So is the straight answer.
Free inspection + fall gutter check
A little history
New Town is 21 this year
The plan for New Town was drawn up in early 2003, and ground broke that October. The first families moved in during the spring of 2005, and the neighborhood has been growing ever since, out past the lakes to the Beach District and now Phase 11.
That means the homes closest to the Civic Green and the Town Hall are now more than twenty years old. Their original shingles, siding and gutters have been through twenty Missouri summers and twenty winters. Some of it is fine. Some of it is not. The only way to know is to look.
That's what the free inspection is for.

Is your roof original?
Every home north of 370, colored by the year the county says it was built. Darker is older. Type your address or click your roof, and we'll tell you how old it is.

Roofing
A free look at a 20-year-old roof
Most of New Town's original roofs are architectural asphalt shingle. In Missouri weather that is a 20-to-25-year roof, and the oldest ones here are in that window now.
We come out, get on the roof, take photos, and show you what we see. If it is fine, we say so. If it is not, you get a plain answer about repair or replacement and what each costs.
Siding
Fiber cement from the mid-2000s
New Town's early homes were built with pre-finished fiber-cement siding. A lot of it is reaching the age where caulk lets go, paint chalks, and the bottom courses start to swell. If your home was part of the siding class action, you already know the story.
We are a preferred James Hardie contractor. We repair what can be repaired, replace what cannot, and match the Shades of New Town palette so the Review Board signs off the first time.
Gutters
Fall gutter check & clean
The trees around the lakes are finally big enough to fill a gutter. We clear them, flush the downspouts, check the pitch and the seams, and look at the fascia behind them while we are up there.
If a seamless replacement makes sense, we will tell you. If a clean-out is all you need, that is all you pay for.
The paperwork part
We handle the Review Board
In New Town, every exterior change needs written approval from the General Assembly's Architectural Review Board before work starts. Even a like-for-like roof. We've done it before, so you don't have to learn it.
- We photograph the house and pull the plot plan.
- We fill out the NTGA Architectural Review form, pick colors from the Shades of New Town palette, and pay the fee.
- The Board takes up to two weeks. Nothing starts until the written approval is in hand.
- We pull the City of St. Charles permit, then schedule the work.

For the record
What the county has taken lately
None of this is a reason to panic. It is a reason to have someone look, especially if nobody has been on your roof since 2024. Hail damage does not always show from the street.
Golf-ball to baseball hail along I-70 from Wentzville to St. Charles.
Hail to 2.75 inches two miles southeast of St. Charles, 70 mph wind in St. Peters.
EF2 tornado from Chesterfield to West Alton, ending in the northeast corner of the county.
Two-inch hail across St. Peters, Cottleville and St. Charles in one week.

New Town questions
Yes. The New Town General Assembly requires written approval before any exterior work starts, including like-for-like replacement. We handle the form, the photos and the color selection, and we wait for the letter before we schedule. The current form and policy are on the NTGA architectural page.
We get on the roof, photograph every slope, check flashing, vents, valleys and the attic side if you let us in, and walk you through the photos. It takes about 45 minutes. There is no charge and no obligation.
We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush them, check pitch and seams, and look at the fascia and drip edge behind them. You get photos and a short note on anything that needs attention.
