Pevely, Jefferson County
Pevely roofing, from first re-roofs to storm repair
About half of Pevely’s homes were built since 2000, and many of those first roofs are reaching the age when replacement comes up. Here is what Pevely owners should know.

Pevely was platted in 1860 and still had only 416 residents in 1950, three years before it incorporated as a city. Most of its houses came much later, and today it is a Jefferson County town of newer subdivisions alongside older homes, duplexes and manufactured homes.
About a third of occupied homes here are rented, so the roof question often lands on a landlord as well as an owner-occupant. Either way it comes down to three things: how old the roof is, what weather has done to it, and what it will need next. A free inspection with photos answers all three.

Local homes
Pevely’s homes are mostly from this century
In Census estimates, 38.3% of Pevely’s housing dates from the 2000s and another 12.1% from the 2010s, with about 28% from the 1950s through the 1970s. Detached single-family houses make up about 61% of homes, manufactured homes 14%, and duplexes and apartment buildings the rest.
A roof installed in 2005 turns 21 in 2026, the age when standard asphalt shingles often start to show wear: granules collecting in gutters, curling edges, and seal strips that let go in high wind. The first replacement is also the right time to check that attic ventilation works and to replace flashing at walls and chimneys instead of reusing it.
Hail and wind
The 2023 tornado and the March 2025 hail
On April 15, 2023, an EF1 tornado formed on the northwest side of Pevely and moved into the northern part of town, causing minor roof, siding, tree and sign damage before lifting on the west side of Oak Valley Golf Course and Resort. The National Weather Service put its peak wind at 100 mph along a path just under a mile long.
Hail is reported less often here: NOAA has eight reports on file within 5 miles of Pevely since 2015. Five of them came on March 14, 2025, including 1.5-inch hail in Pevely itself and near Glen Park.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, hail reports with a location within 5 miles of the center of Pevely, January 2015 to June 2026. Reports come from spotters, NWS staff and the public, so they undercount.
Services
What we do in Pevely
Roof Replacement
On a 2000s Pevely house, the first replacement is a chance to correct ventilation and flashing along with the shingles, and the old shingles are recycled.
Learn moreRoof Repair
A few tabs lifted by wind on a younger roof can often be repaired if the shingles around them still seal. We show you the photos and tell you plainly which you need.
Learn moreStorm and Hail Damage Repair
After the 2023 tornado and the 2025 hail, start with a documented inspection. If the damage is worth a claim, we help you call it in and meet your adjuster.
Learn moreGutters and Downspouts
Pevely’s sewer code bars tying downspouts into any drain that feeds the sanitary sewer, so downspouts and extensions should empty outdoors, away from the foundation. We install, repair and extend them.
Learn moreSiding
The 2023 tornado damaged siding as well as roofs. Repairs and replacements in vinyl, fiber cement and wood are part of our work, on houses and duplexes alike.
Learn moreInside city limits, the City of Pevely’s Code Enforcement and Building Department at 401 Main Street oversees construction under the building codes adopted by the Board of Aldermen. Its permit FAQ lists decks, sheds, fences, driveways, room additions, interior remodels and more, but does not mention roofing either way.
Call the department (636-475-4452) before work starts to confirm whether your re-roof needs a permit; if it does, your roofer should handle it. Homes outside the city in unincorporated Jefferson County answer to the county’s Code Enforcement Division in Hillsboro.
Fixed on the spot
I had a leak in my roof and called a couple different roofing companies to check it out. None of them could figure out where it was coming from, they just told me I’d need a whole new roof. Then I called Correll Roofing Company. Curtis came out…
Knowledgeable, polite, and responsive

FAQ
Roofing in Pevely: questions
Call (314) 222-9529 if yours is not here.
Does Pevely require a permit to replace a roof?
The city’s published permit list does not say either way. Ask the Code Enforcement and Building Department at City Hall before work starts, and if a permit is required, expect your roofer to apply for it.
Can my downspouts drain into the sewer in Pevely?
No. Section 715.130 of the city code prohibits connecting roof downspouts to a building sewer or drain that leads to the public sanitary sewer, and the city’s sewer inspector can check how roof water is handled. Send downspouts onto the yard or to an approved storm outlet instead.
My Pevely house was built in the 2000s. Is it time for a new roof?
It depends on the roof’s history more than its birthday. A roof from the early 2000s is past 20 years old, and the 2023 tornado and the 2025 hail added wear on some streets. An inspection will tell you whether you need repairs, a replacement, or nothing yet.
