Roof replacement and repair in St. Peters
St. Peters went from 486 residents in 1970 to 15,700 in 1980, so whole neighborhoods here share a birth decade and, often, a roof schedule.

Correll Roofing Co. works out of neighboring O’Fallon, and St. Peters’ own history explains much of what we find on its roofs. It was a farming community of a few hundred people until the 1970s, then single-family building took off; the city now counts about 21,000 attached and detached single-family homes.
Houses built in the same few years tend to wear out together. They went up with similar materials, came through the same storms and reach the end of each roof around the same time. If your neighbors are replacing after hail, your roof is worth a close look as well.

Local homes
A suburb built mostly after 1970
Old Town, along Main Street beside Interstate 70, keeps buildings from the 1860s and 1870s, including brick houses, and its walking tour recalls a local family’s house destroyed by a 1915 tornado, which people then called a cyclone. Nearly everything else came later. The Census puts nearly a quarter of St. Peters homes in the 1960 to 1979 range and the median build year at 1988, which matches the city’s account of single-family growth starting in the 1970s.
On houses from the 1970s and 1980s, a second or third roof often sits on decking and attic ventilation from the original build. A tear-off is the time to swap out soft sheathing, open up soffit intake vents, and trade sectional gutters for seamless gutters. Where original siding meets the roof, check the step flashing along the walls, a common leak point on houses this age.
Hail and wind
Hail along Jungermann Road and a microburst near Spencer Creek
Of the 42 hail reports NOAA lists within 5 miles of St. Peters since January 2015, all but five came in 2023 or later. Top of the list was 3-inch hail near Harvester on May 13, 2023, the day a swath of very large hail fell mainly along and east of Jungermann Road, and on May 26, 2024, hail up to 2.75 inches was reported 1.75 miles southeast of St. Peters. Wind counts too: the weather service estimated 80 to 85 mph winds in a June 5, 2015 microburst that blew a shed roof from the city’s maintenance facility on Boone Hills Drive into a neighboring residential area.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, hail reports with a location within 5 miles of the center of St. Peters, January 2015 to June 2026. Reports come from spotters, NWS staff and the public, so they undercount.

Learn moreSt. Peters issues its own building permits through the Building Department at 1 St. Peters Centre Boulevard, with applications filed online through CitizenServe. The department’s Residential Re-Roofing Requirements, revised March 27, 2024, say a re-roof needs a permit if sheathing replacement tops 25%, if the roof covering changes to a different material, or if panel sheathing has to go over spaced board decking.
A like-for-like shingle replacement doesn’t need a permit under that guide, but it still has to follow the code’s reroofing rules: old layers come off unless one sound layer remains, underlayment goes down, valleys get lined, drip edge is installed, and existing attic ventilation can’t be reduced. Confirm with the department before work starts, since requirements change.
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
I contacted Correll Roofing about some shingles that I lost off of my roof during this last round of high winds that we experienced. Jon responded to my inquiry quickly, came out to my home and replaced the missing shingles in a very timely manner.…

I had the pleasure of working with Devin Stinson and am currently getting my roof replaced. I had waited almost too long to do it as I am a first time homeowner. The process was a little scary but Devin reassured me and walked me through the process…
FAQ
Roofing in St. Peters: questions
Call (314) 222-9529 if yours is not here.
When does a re-roof in St. Peters need a permit?
Under the city’s re-roofing guide, you need one if more than a quarter of the sheathing gets replaced, if you change roofing materials, say from wood shingles to asphalt, or if new panel sheathing has to cover old spaced boards. A same-material replacement doesn’t, though the job still has to be done to code. Ask the Building Department to confirm for your house.
Our 1980s house has never had its decking checked. Should we expect surprises?
Possibly, and it’s better to plan for them. Decking only shows its true condition once the old shingles are off, so a good estimate explains how soft spots will be handled. Your free inspection includes photos of anything suspect from the surface, such as sagging or spongy areas.
We weren’t home for the 2023 and 2024 hail. How do we tell if the roof was hit?
Start on the ground: dents in gutters, downspouts and metal window trim, or granules piled at the downspout outlets, point to impacts above. Bruised shingles are hard to see from the yard, so a free, photo-documented inspection is the surest way to know.
Can you help with the insurance claim?
Yes, within what Missouri allows: state law (RSMo 407.725) bars roofers from representing or negotiating for homeowners on roof insurance claims, so the claim stays yours. Our part is the photos, help getting the claim started, being there when your adjuster visits to point out what we documented, and going over the scope line by line with you. Coverage questions belong with your agent or your policy.
