A New Roof for Your Sunset Hills, MO Home
Sunset Hills sits about 8 miles northwest of Oakville, MO, along Lindbergh Boulevard and the Meramec River. It incorporated in June 1957. Because it has a city government, permits here involve one extra local step.
Homes on Lindbergh Boulevard were hit hard by a high-end EF-3 tornado on New Year's Eve 2010. Send a request and one independent roofer who works this area will inspect the roof and put the price and scope in writing.

Much of today's Sunset Hills was added in the 1990s. The city's history page says the 1990 census recorded 4,915 residents before four annexations between 1994 and 1997 raised the count to 7,885. By the 2000 Census it reached 8,267.
Watson Road follows an old wagon trail through the city, and Lindbergh is the main north-south road, with City Hall on it. Mini Ha Ha Park opened in 2005 on a former 1930s resort by the Meramec. Where branches hang over your roof, ask the roofer to check for limb damage, clogged valleys and moss on shaded slopes.

Permits in Sunset Hills, MO
Sunset Hills adopted the St. Louis County building code, with the 2015 IBC and IRC in effect since July 2020, and the County enforces it. Building work starts with a city zoning review, which normally takes about two weeks. The County will not accept plans without the city's zoning approval letter, and it then issues the building permit.
Under County Ordinance 27,654 (§105.1.2), re-roofing a section flatter than 4:12 takes a permit, and so does changing from one roofing material to another. Your roofer should confirm with the city and the County what your job needs and pull any permit. City Hall, at 3939 S. Lindbergh Blvd., answers at 314-849-3400, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Questions Asked in Sunset Hills, MO
Who issues re-roof permits in Sunset Hills?
St. Louis County issues the building permit after the city's zoning review. Low-pitch roofs and material changes are the two cases the County code names. Have your roofer check with City Hall (314-849-3400) and the County, and pull whatever permit the job needs.
Which fire district reviews plans in Sunset Hills?
The city's building permit page says plans also go to your fire district, which is either Mehlville or Fenton depending on where you live. Give your roofer the street address up front, and ask whether your job needs any fire district review before the County permit.
Was my roof hit by the 2023 tornado?
The April 15, 2023 EF-1 tracked from near I-44 and Highway 141 to Tapawingo National Golf Course, with minor structural damage. If you live near that path and nobody has checked the roof since, an inspection can show what was missed.
Can a roofer negotiate my insurance claim?
Not in Missouri. RSMo 407.725 bars roofers from representing homeowners on a claim. What the roofer provides is a measured, photographed and priced account of the damage; the settlement happens between you and the insurance company. A licensed public adjuster can represent you if you want help. Call Missouri's insurance consumer line at (800) 726-7390 with questions.
