Tear-Off to Final Inspection

Census figures show 86.0% of homes in Oakville, MO are lived in by their owners, so most roofs here are paid for by the families sleeping under them.
This site is not a roofing company and does no roofing work.

With no Missouri roofer license to check, size up a roofer by liability coverage, a local address, references and an itemized written contract.

From Inspection to Cleanup
- Reach out. Call (314) 555-0191 or fill in the form, and we pass your details to one independent roofer.
- Free inspection. The roofer looks over the surface, flashing and vents, and the attic where they can.
- Written estimate. Expect line items for materials, labor, tear-off, decking repairs and disposal, plus a clear answer on who pulls any permit.
- Permit check. In Oakville, MO, St. Louis County Public Works issues building permits. Under County Ordinance 27,654 (§105.1.2), roofs pitched below 4:12 and jobs that change the roofing type both need one. Your roofer should confirm with the County and pull whatever the job needs. Over in Arnold, MO, plan on a city permit instead.
- Tear-off and install. The roofer schedules the work, removes the old roof and installs the new one.
- Walk-through. Ask the roofer to show you the finished job and sweep the yard for nails.
Reasons to Ask Here First
Questions Worth Asking
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Oakville, MO?
It depends on the roof. St. Louis County's code requires a permit for re-roofing a low-slope roof (under 4:12) and for any change of roofing type, such as shingles to metal. Have your roofer confirm with St. Louis County Public Works and pull any permit the job calls for.
Does Missouri license roofers?
No. There is no statewide roofer license here. A 2025 registration bill, HB 1348, got a hearing but never became law, and earlier attempts stalled too. That puts the vetting on you: get insurance proof, call references and insist on a written itemized contract.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for a new roof?
That depends on your policy and on what caused the damage. A roofer can document and price what they find, but the claim itself is between you and your insurer. A public adjuster, who must hold a state license, is the one who may represent you.
Does it cost anything to use this site?
No. The inspection and written estimate are free, and the roofer pays this site for the referral. You owe only what you agree to in a contract with the roofer, and you're under no obligation to sign one after the visit.
