Maryland Heights incorporated only in 1985, but its neighborhoods are older. The city’s 2021 comprehensive plan calls it a city of subdivisions and neighborhoods and says more than 70% of its single-family homes were built after World War II, mostly between 1945 and 1978. Around them are Westport Plaza, about 1,800 businesses and St. Louis County’s 2,000-acre Creve Coeur Park, with the Missouri River forming the city’s western edge.
Our roofing experience runs past 20 years, across both residential and commercial work. When wind or hail opens a roof, we respond to the storm damage, and every inspection is backed by photos. Correll has been a BBB Accredited Business since May 2025.

Local homes
Compact postwar houses, 1945 to 1978
The comprehensive plan adds detail that matters on the roof: about 52% of homes built before 1978 have less than 1,200 square feet of floor area, and the plan’s typical Maryland Heights home is about 40 years old, with three bedrooms, two baths and 1,357 square feet. The Census puts 52% of the city’s housing in the 1960 to 1979 range, with a median year built of 1975, and 43% of occupied homes are rented, which puts many roofs in the hands of landlords and associations.
On houses this size, attic ventilation and the condition of the roof deck matter as much as the shingles. Vented soffit and sound fascia keep air moving and water out of the eaves, and because the city’s permit rule for asphalt roofs turns on whether sheathing gets replaced, the deck deserves a close look before and during tear-off.
Hail and wind
Wind, limbs and the occasional big hail
NOAA’s Storm Events Database shows 20 hail reports within 5 miles of Maryland Heights from 2015 through June 2026, 18 of them an inch or larger, on 15 separate days; the largest was 4-inch hail just across the Missouri River near St. Charles on May 11, 2016. Wind fills more of the local record. On May 7, 2024, snapped limbs 6 to 8 inches thick punched holes in a Maryland Heights roof, and on March 14, 2025, estimated gusts of 75 to 80 mph downed trees along McKelvey Woods Trail and dropped an entire garage or shed roof to the ground. The city’s plan also recalls the 2011 tornado, after which the city temporarily eased its zoning code so damaged homes that no longer met it could be rebuilt.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, hail reports with a location within 5 miles of the center of Maryland Heights, January 2015 to June 2026. Reports come from spotters, NWS staff and the public, so they undercount.

Learn moreThe Maryland Heights Building Division, part of the Department of Community Development at the Government Center, 11911 Dorsett Road, issues building permits. Its residential roof replacement page says a permit is required for asphalt roof replacements where roof sheathing is being replaced, and for other roofing types such as metal or TPO.
If you cannot tell ahead of time whether sheathing will need replacing, the city suggests applying and scheduling inspections anyway, since unneeded inspections can be cancelled. As of 2026 the minimum fee at application is typically $50 and the city has adopted the 2021 International Code Council codes; your roofer should handle the application.

FAQ
Roofing in Maryland Heights: questions
Call (314) 222-9529 if yours is not here.
Do I need a permit to re-shingle a house in Maryland Heights?
It depends on the deck. The city requires a permit for asphalt roof replacements when sheathing is replaced, and for metal or TPO roofs. Rotted sheathing often shows up only after tear-off, which is why the city recommends applying ahead of time.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk here?
Both show up, but the recent record leans toward wind. NOAA lists hail on 15 separate days within 5 miles since 2015, while gusts estimated at 80 mph on March 14, 2025 took the roof off a garage or shed. After a strong blow, look for missing shingles, lifted ridge caps and limbs on the roof.
Do you work on apartment and commercial roofs?
Yes. Correll handles residential and commercial roofing, and inspection photos give owners and property managers a clear record of the roof’s condition.
Can you build a deck in Maryland Heights?
Yes, we build custom decks. The Building Division publishes a deck building guide and a deck permit template, which are the place to start planning.
