Service Areas Around St. Louis, MO
Requests come to us from homeowners in St. Louis, MO, meaning the City of St. Louis itself, and from five St. Louis County suburbs, each with its own page. Type your town in the checker below or read through the list. Every place has its own permit office, so we name the one to ask.
An Area Built on Drive Times
Our coverage is a list of places a local roofer can reach in a reasonable drive, not a circle drawn on a map. The City of St. Louis sits in no county. St. Louis County is a separate government that wraps around it on the west. The Census counted 301,578 people in the City in 2020, and 1,004,125 in the County.
The miles matter less than the city halls. A roofer working in Florissant deals with a different office, and different rules, than one working in Kirkwood or in the City itself. That is why each listing below names the office to ask before the old roof comes off.

All Covered Towns
- City of St. Louis, MO. Brick homes, slate mansards and some flat-roofed flats. A like-for-like re-roof with 25% or less new sheathing needs no building permit; a new material or more sheathing does. The Building Division's permit section at 1200 Market Street, Room 425, can settle questions.

- Webster Groves, MO. About 9 miles west-southwest in St. Louis County. The Central Webster Historic District holds 299 buildings from the 1860s to the 1920s. Contractors doing permit work need a city Certificate of Registration; ask the Building Commissioner's office about your roof.

Outside the List?
Live in another St. Louis County city? Send your request anyway and tell us the town. If we can't set up a visit at your address, we'll say so plainly. Requests from the Illinois side of the river fall outside our area.
Wherever you live, the same habits help. Missouri has no statewide roofing license, so ask about any local license your town requires and for proof of liability insurance and workers' comp. For permits, your roofer should ask your city first, or St. Louis County where the city relies on the County. If your subdivision has trustee or HOA rules on color and material, clear them before work starts.
