Architectural, Three-Tab or Impact-Rated

Shingles generally come in three tiers. Three-tab shingles lie flat with an even pattern and usually cost the least. Architectural shingles are layered for a thicker, more textured look. Impact-rated shingles are built to resist hail, and the top rating is Class 4. This Old House recommends Class 4 shingles for Missouri homes, but no town we serve requires them, so they stay an optional upgrade.

Oakville, MO counted 36,301 residents at the 2020 Census, and hail is a shared experience here: stones up to 1.5 inches fell around Oakville in February 2017, and up to 2 inches fell on March 14, 2025. That history is one reason homeowners ask about impact-rated shingles.

When Homeowners Ask for Shingle Roof Replacement

Tabs are curling or cracking. Shingles that lift at the edges or split across several slopes are a common reason to price a new layer.
Granules pile up in the gutters. Grit washing out of the downspouts can mean the surface is wearing thin. A roofer can say how far along it is.
Hail left marks. After a storm, an inspection can show whether shingles were bruised or cracked, and the roofer's notes give you something to show your insurer.
Patches no longer match. When a roof is more repairs than original shingle, a full replacement can bring it back to one uniform surface.

From Inspection to Cleanup

Ask for a visit. Call (314) 555-0191 or use the form. We send your request to one independent roofer.
Inspection. The roofer checks shingles, flashing, vents and decking, free of charge.
Choose a grade. Ask for prices on more than one shingle tier, including Class 4 if hail worries you.
Settle permits. St. Louis County, which issues permits in Oakville, MO, requires one to re-roof a low-slope roof (under 4:12) or to change roofing type. Have the roofer verify the rule with the County and handle the paperwork. In Arnold, MO, plan on a city permit.
Tear-off and new shingles. The old roof comes off, any bad decking is replaced, and the new shingles go on.
Final look. Walk the property with the roofer and keep the shingle warranty paperwork.

Questions Worth Asking

Do I have to install Class 4 shingles in Oakville, MO?

No. Nothing in St. Louis County, Arnold, MO or the other towns we serve requires impact-rated shingles. This Old House recommends Class 4 for Missouri homes because of hail, so many owners ask for a price on them. Your roofer can quote both so you can judge whether the difference is worth it.

How do I check a shingle roofer when Missouri has no license?

Request a current certificate of liability insurance, a street address nearby and two or three references, and insist on a written itemized contract naming who pulls any permit. Two towns add their own layer: Arnold, MO makes every contractor hold a yearly City of Arnold license, and Crestwood, MO asks for a contractor's business license.

Can I replace just part of my shingle roof?

Sometimes, depending on the damage and where you live. Arnold, MO is stricter: since 2025, swapping more than 25 shingles is legally a replacement there, and a roof that needs any section replaced must be redone in full. Elsewhere, your roofer can tell you whether a section repair makes sense.

Are shingle prices higher in the St. Louis area?

HomeBlue's 2024 cost model puts installed shingle roofs around St. Louis at $5–$8 per square foot, above This Old House's Missouri average of $4.59. Treat both as guides. A written estimate for your own roof is the only number that counts.
